323772 Wed Sep 06 19:51:35 -0700 2006 5 19 Outer Boroughs 0 1858044 I'm taking a lady friend out for dinner this weekend and I'd like to find a nice romantic spot. Something quiet, perhaps something with more simple, less adventurous cuisine, as I'm not quite sure of my date's taste just yet. Something a little on the quieter side. I'm familiar with the Sunnyside restaurants, but haven't ventured too much into Jackson Heights. Maybe Italian? Wed Sep 06 19:51:35 -0700 2006 21914 wallywalnuts 1 1858084 in woodside, i'd try sapori d'ischia on 37th ave in the 50s. import store by day, cozy italian dinner spot by night. or donato's, a cute old style a la "lady and the tramp" italian place on 39th ave and 51st (i believe). Wed Sep 06 20:02:11 -0700 2006 1858044 23603 ceeceee 1 1858098 thanks for the suggestions. actually, donato's is one of my neighborhood favorites. i'm trying to branch out. ;-) i just went to sapori a few weeks back and it was very good. i completely forgot about it. maybe i'll go there. thanks ceecee.

Wed Sep 06 20:09:02 -0700 2006 1858044 23603 ceeceee 1 1860167 Uncle Peter's in Jackson Heights can be a nice romantic place. It has dim lighting and the service is quite good. The food is continental...I've only tried the Italian, and I enjoyed it. It can be a bit on the pricey side, but the atmosphere paired with good food makes it a worthwhile visit. It's on Northern Blvd., between 86th and 87th Streets? (I believe). Thu Sep 07 16:48:09 -0700 2006 1858044 18155 sandrina 1 2362540 Sandrina - I tried Uncle Peter's based on your suggestion. My bf and I went their for Valentine's Day. The place is nice inside... couldn't imagine it from the outside though. Thanks for the great suggestion! Our steak and sea bass were both great.
