Within walking distance of campus, south of Wilshire is a great date spot, Sprazzo's Restaurant. The restaurant itself is a small boutique restaurant with dim lighting. This would be a great date location.

The meal starts with some homemade balsamic and olive oil that has amazing flavors. Occassionally they have an excellent hummus that while garlicky is super tasty!

A great starter would be their calamari which is excellent. This is not your average fried calamari but rather calamari rings and a few shrimps in a creamy buttery sauce that that is succulent and tasty. The garlicky (yes there is a trend here) bread dipped in the sauce makes you hip grow just by observing the following photo.



There are so many great entrees there but standouts would include the linguine alla pescatore which is a seafood pasta with shrimp, scallops, calamari in a spectacular tomato based sauce.



The vitello piccatta is a tender moist and succulant veal that is cooked in a butter sauce - seriously I don't even like veal and yet this dish is that amazing! Sorry no food porn shot here.

While the desserts are not spectacular, they serve a very tasty coffee.

Overall, great date spot within walking distance of campus - a nice long walk :-)!!
