Italian Food First Date Tips: David Spallina of Pane Vino on the Avenue Shares Dining Advice in HelloNation

ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What do many diners get wrong when choosing Italian food for a first date? David Spallina of Pane Vino on the Avenue answers this question in a thoughtful HelloNation article that explores how menu choices can shape the tone and comfort of a romantic meal. While Italian cuisine evokes romance, not every dish is well-suited to a smooth and enjoyable first-date experience.

Spallina explains that long, saucy pastas like spaghetti or fettuccine, though classic, can become a distraction. They often require too much attention to manage gracefully, pulling focus from the conversation. Instead, he suggests opting for easy-to-eat alternatives like gnocchi or risotto. These dishes offer rich Italian flavor without the mess, allowing daters to engage more naturally.

He also highlights the appeal of chicken-based entrees, which combine elevated taste with manageable presentation. These meals avoid the fuss of more complex dishes while still showing culinary appreciation. Additionally, Spallina recommends shareable antipasti or smaller plates to create a relaxed, interactive atmosphere that supports connection.

In What Most People Get Wrong About Italian Food on a First Date, Spallina encourages diners to view Italian food not just as a cuisine, but as a tool for creating memorable moments. Selecting the right dish can elevate the evening and keep the spotlight on the people at the table—not the logistics of the meal.
