These Downtown Waco Date Night Spots Will Steal Your Heart

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching—are you prepared to wow your partner with a date night to remember? If you can’t handle the pressure, we can help. We’ve gathered a list of some of the most popular restaurants in downtown Waco to add to your date-night itinerary. Check it out:

Pignetti’s 

If you haven’t made it out to the brand-new Waco location and enjoyed fresh Italian cooking, a vast selection of wines and the bar lounge, you’re missing out. Pignetti’s is the perfect place for your romantic dinner for two. The original Pignetti’s in Temple has been referred to by locals as “a gem,” and the Waco location seems to be following suit. Secure a reservation now on their website.

Z’s at the Curry

Voted as Best in Waco in 2019, Z’s at the Curry will give you and your date an upscale Valentine’s date night in the historic Curry building, a Waco landmark since 1946. Enjoy cocktails, appetizers, dinner and dessert while overlooking a view of downtown Waco. If you’re on the hunt for a high-end experience with a view, Z’s at the Curry should be your go-to.

Anthem Stories

This reimagined, historic building in the heart of Waco holds weddings and special events and maybe your Valentine’s Day dinner. Anthem Stories is hosting a vintage-themed dinner for couples who register. From 6 to 8 p.m., you can enjoy a buffet-style meal with multiple courses, live music and photo opportunities. Reservations for this exclusive event are limited, so reserve your romantic night before it’s too late!

DiamondBack’s

Long hailed as one of Waco’s premier upscale restaurants, DiamondBack’s has been a local go-to for special occasions, celebrations and date nights for years. If you’re craving a steak, DiamondBack’s is the place to go—they were ranked among the top ten steakhouses in Texas in 2015 by Tom Horan’s. 

Where will you dine this Valentine’s Day? Whatever you choose, you can’t go wrong in downtown Waco.
