Ring in the Romance
Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Here are some of Burlingame's most romantic places to celebrate the special day.
Oh, Valentine's Day. To some, it's a day to recognize the special someone in your life and shower them with candy, flowers and gifts. To others, it's just another Hallmark Holiday created to stimulate the economy. And to others still, it's a day to wear black and sit inside with a good horror movie, boxes of Chinese takeout and a pint of ice cream. No matter how you decide to spend Feb. 14, it's just around the corner, and will be here whether you like it, or not. Regardless of your own Valentine traditions, restaurants near and far will be decked out in red and pink, candy hearts will litter the streets like Mardi Gras beads and doilies will replace bar coasters.
But, let's face it; most of us are happy to have an excuse to indulge in a little romance and a fancy night out with someone special. While romance seems to fill the air everywhere on Valentine's Day, these five restaurants are sure to make anyone feel the love.

: All aglitter with dripping white lights, Ecco is one of Burlingame's most romantic places. The dining room is simple and understated, providing a perfectly plain backdrop to the beautifully plated “Continental-Californian” dishes. A list of international and rare wines adds an extra touch of class and glamor to the dining experience. The daily-changing dessert menu is just enough of an element of surprise to impress any date.

An already breathtaking dining room is trumped by the unobstructed bay views from just about every seat in the house.

Freshly made pastas and Sicilian-inspired dishes bring impeccable authenticity to Burlingame Avenue, and will make you and your date feel worlds away.
