Candles will light Italian restaurant Positano Coast over Valentine's Day weekend and there will be food specials for couples to enjoy.
You may not be able to whisk your special someone away to Italy for a romantic dinner on Feb. 14, but you can treat them to pasta and seafood at Old City's Positano Coast, which aims to make guests feel like they're dining on the beautiful Amalfi Coast.
The restaurant will offer candlelight dinners over Valentine's Day weekend.
Lights will be turned off throughout the spacious restaurant and instead lit with candles, giving everything a soft, warm glow to set the lovey-dovey holiday mood.
Couples can enjoy Italian classics, plus wine, cocktails and dessert. Dine-in specials will include:
