Valentine’s Day lands on the perfect weekend this year, which means no rushing, no work alarms, and no excuses not to make it special. Whether you are planning a romantic dinner with your forever person, a champagne and French toast kind of Galentine’s, or something playful and low key cute, Long Island restaurants are fully leaning into the love. Think of this as your go-to guide for planning the perfect Valentine’s date.

If your love language is pizza, Frankie’s Fabulous Italiano in East Hampton is serving up $22 heart shaped love pizzas all weekend long from 5-9 PM and yes, they’re exactly what they sound like. Wood-fired, perfectly crisp, and designed for sharing across a candlelit table. It is the kind of setting where the lighting is warm, the cocktails are flowing, and you split a pie while romanticizing the entire night with your favorite person. It feels relaxed but still intentional, which honestly might be the most romantic vibe of all.

For something more classic and indulgent, Ruvo in Greenlawn and Port Jefferson is offering a three course Valentine’s prix fixe with entree pricing ranging from $75 to $90. Start with meatball crostini and crab bisque or sautéed PEI mussels before moving into mains like beef short rib ravioli at $75, Atlantic salmon at $80, or a beautifully prepared NY strip steak at $90. Dessert is included, with options such as mascarpone cheesecake and house made tiramisu. It is designed for lingering over wine and conversation.

Executive Chef Jason Weiner’s specials highlight vibrant seasonal ingredients alongside the regular menu. Expect refined dishes such as lobster thermidor or rack of lamb masala, followed by lingonberry jelly donuts for two. Almond’s upscale pricing reflects the experience, making it a sophisticated choice for those who want Valentine’s to feel truly special and thoughtfully curated.

Valentine’s isn’t only about candlelit dinners, and Rockefeller’s Kitchen & Cocktails in Lake Grove proves it with its playful Galentine’s Brunch. The menu features shareable favorites like Nutella-stuffed French toast for $16, an oversized cinnamon roll for $15, and a brunch tower sampler priced at $28 that’s perfect for the table. It’s bright, social, and made for celebrating friendship with a glass of something bubbly in hand. There’s nothing better than gathering the girls and soaking in the company of the people who make your life sweeter.

However you choose to celebrate, we hope this Valentine’s weekend is filled with great food, good company, and memorable moments. Visit each restaurant’s individual page to make a reservation or learn more about their special offerings.
