There’s a cute new date spot in downtown El Paso and it’s giving off “Little Italy” vibes and I am here for it. So, I’m all for loving yourself and taking yourself on solo dates, but for this specific date night I decided to add a plus one because the restaurant was too beautiful not to share the experience with someone else. (And he’s also great at taking photos so win/win.)

The restaurant in question is Ristorante Casanova. It’s fairly new and it took over the space where “Fire” Restaurant once was, right under the DoubleTree Hotel in Downtown El Paso. The bright colored sign right outside of the restaurant immediately gives you “Little Italy” vibes with the red, green and white colored combo on the letters “Casanova.”
