Date night means something different at various stages of a relationship. In the beginning, it’s about making a great impression. After kids, it’s a vital blessing. And for long-term couples, date night is a commitment to focusing on what matters most. But no matter what stage you’re at, date night should never become a boring routine. If you’re interested in ways to keep date night fresh and exciting, Puerto La Boca is the romantic restaurant you’re looking for. Here’s why:

Warm and cozy restaurant in Little Italy

Little Italy in San Diego is known for its amazing dining options, but there’s nothing quite like Puerto La Boca, which marries Argentinian and Italian cuisines in an explosion of unexpected flavors. And while our menu boasts big tastes, our atmosphere is much cozier. The warm lighting,  artwork, and inviting color scheme of our indoor dining area will check all your intimate restaurant boxes, perfect for date night or a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary.

Outside dining for the classic San Diego experience

Puerto La Boca’s indoor dining area is intimate and inviting, but if you’d prefer the fresh air and people-watching opportunities of outdoor dining, we’ve got you covered. Our outside patio is festively lit and perfect for enjoying San Diego’s famously beautiful weather, along with a delicious dinner for two like our meant-to-be shared sizzling Parrillada “El Conventillo” platter with a variety of savory meats.

Live music to accompany your meal

It might not be scientifically proven that engaging all your senses at once heightens them all, but we think there’s something to that theory. At Puerto La Boca, we feature live music on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights, including in-house pianists, soulful guitarists, and impressive vocalists to enhance the ambiance during your meal. We also feature unique artwork from Argentinian-born artist Titio to gaze at when you aren’t gazing into your significant other’s eyes.

Delicious food, wine, and desserts

Of course, the number one reason to make Puerto La Boca your new date night restaurant in San Diego is the menu. From tempting appetizers like empanadas to delectable entrees like traditional Argentinian steak and seafood, you might not even have room for dessert. But if you do, you won’t be able to pass up Panqueques Con Dulce De Leche—homemade, flambé crepes filled with Argentinian caramel. And throughout the whole meal, you have an amazing choice of wines, most directly from Argentina’s famous wine regions.

Enjoy our intimate atmosphere and delicious food on your next date night

Whether you want to impress a first date or your long-time love, Puerto La Boca in Little Italy is the perfect venue for your next date night.
