Best Date Night Restaurants in German Village

Tony's Italian Restaurant exceeded all expectations with its wonderful ambiance, attentive service, and absolutely amazing food. Our server was incredibly patient, giving us the perfect balance of time to talk while checking in just when we needed her. The Bruschetta Pomodoro was a delightful start, with fresh tomatoes and basil on perfectly toasted bread. For mains, the Spinach and Cheese Cannelloni was divine, filled with fresh spinach, ricotta, and parmesan, and baked to perfection with twin sauces of marinara and béchamel. Tony’s Fettuccine was another highlight, featuring homemade pasta topped with shrimp, scallops, and surimi crab meat, all enveloped in a rich Alfredo sauce—it was worth every penny of the $18.95 We paired the meal with a crisp Pinot Grigio from Folonari, which complemented the flavors beautifully. Tony's truly delivered an exceptional dining experience.

I booked this restaurant for my daughters 17th birthday because I wanted something special. Wow did they come through! We had a reservation at 4:30 and when we check into our hotel room which was a block away we discovered her birthday dress was still hanging up at home an hour away. She forgot it since it wasn’t in her overnight bag. Long story short we got the dress but had called the restaurant to let them know we would be almost an hour late would we still be able to come. The gentleman who answered the phone said absolutely and her birthday won’t be spoiled on our end! Relief in that moment one act of kindness gave. We get there at 5:20 to a beautiful table, incredible service, and outstanding food. From me being able to sample a couple of the white wines and settling on a delicious one from France. To our steak being cooked perfectly medium rare and that peppercorn sauce amazing. The lobster was delicious, picked two sides which my daughter loves a good gourmet Mac and cheese this one was perfect! They even give a complimentary dessert and candle. Never did we have an empty water glass and the continuous staff was either wishing her happy birthday or asking if we needed anything. If you want exceptional service, amazing food and a great experience please don’t skip this one! They even made sure we had plenty of time to get to the nutcracker!

We went here on a Monday night for Sake Hour. Great price, amazing food, and fabulous drinks. 10/10 would recommend!

Kudos to Forno for creating a fun seasonal pop-up speakeasy in the basement for the holidays. Decorations, including vintage video, set the mood for apres-ski R&R. Special themed drinks were great, especially the espresso martinis, and the six of us devoured the fondue. Would've been nice if they'd offered a couple more menu items like personal-size pizzas/flatbread from the kitchen upstairs, and maybe a little bigger assortment of dipping items for the cheese fondue than just orange cubed bell pepper, bread, and apple slices (maybe more fruit?), but the whole experience was enjoyable on our pop-up pub crawl.

Overall, we felt like welcomed and appreciated patrons, and we will most certainly be back. Food was great, most had hanger steak. Drinks were excellent. The table size was perfect for our group. Its location at the door made for a noisier, colder and less private dinner, and the use of stools for two of our party was less comfortable for them. Our server, Jenna was great, and she made up for the inconvenience with her enjoyable personality, complimentary bruschetta, and flexibility on appetizer portions.
