In an effort to be completely transparent, I must reveal that I feel completely unqualified to be the one sharing this, but there's a Missouri restaurant that has just been named as one of the best in America when it comes to making a love connection.

Are you familiar with Casa don Alfonso in St. Louis, Missouri?

I have never broken bread there as it's a bit above my status level, but I mention it because Love Food has just named this Italian restaurant in St. Louis as the most romantic in Missouri. Aw. Casa don Alfonso is located in the Ritz Carlton in the big city and has some very bueno ravioli and seafood apparently. If I'm remembering right, this Missouri restaurant was also named one of the best new locations by Forbes a few years ago.

When I think of food and romance (which I'll admit isn't often), I think of ambience as much as I think of food. Let's face it. Without the right atmosphere, no one is gonna leave feeling in the mood no matter how great the food is. Based on the reviews, it appears that Casa don Alfonso has it in spades so if you're looking for dinner and romance, here you go.
