At Il Cielo, you can blow your entire wallet on a Valentine's Day dinner for two, a five course stunner topped off with a 24-karat gold desert plate guaranteed to sweep your date off her unsuspecting feet. The Il Cielo Valentine's Day menu starts with a first course of red and white baby belgian endive tossed with candied pecans, seedless grapes and Stilton cheese in a strawberry vinagrette. Next up is the heart-shaped lobster ravioli in a white truffle bisque and cherry tomato fondue - if you've never had heart-shaped lobster ravioli, eat up because you'll most likely never have it again. You have your choice of entree of either a roasted John Dory in a chardonnay wine sauce with zucchini marmalade and grilled white asparagus with crispy artichoke, or a grilled prime beef filet on portobello mushroom, with rosemary potatoes and bordelaise sauce and crispy red bell peppers.

After you're done having the most romantic dinner of your life, relax in Il Cielo's romantic atmosphere and digest to make room for your insanely romantic desert, a heart-shaped flourless chocolate cake, covered in a belgian ganache and 24-karat gold.

You can eat your 24-karat gold for a mere $225 per couple, not including beverages, tax and tip. So if you can afford to blow the bank on a dinner, and you think your date is worth it, go for it!!
