Yes, you can enjoy a classy meal in Manhattan without breaking the bank. Rialto, a romantic French-Italian-American bistro in the heart of Nolita – with dark-purple curtains, aged mirrors behind the bar, and antique lamps that cast a buttery glow onto the cozy tables – exudes a sultry Parisian vibe that’ll lend sparks to any date. (Feeding each other the steamed mussels also helps.) Cozy up in one of the red booths and start off with a fine vintage of hearty French red or a pitcher of fruity sangria and then move on to the simple but top-notch entrees, including sautéed bass over a butternut squash risotto, grilled pork chops with creamy mashed potatoes, and marinated yellowfin tuna. If you’re just in the mood for a drink, pull up to the bar and try one of their potent martinis – in flavors of coconut or apple – or the Rialto mojito, with fresh mint, lemon Bacardi and lime juice. After a couple of stiff ones, you may just want to hang out at this cozy spot all night long.
