Romance in The Shoals

Romantic Places to Eat...

The Palace Drug Store Soda Fountain

Local artists Audwin McGee and Sandi Stevens in conjunction with manager Chris Martin decorated the interior of Ragazza Italiana and it’s absolutely a whimsical delight. I especially love the chandelier in the ladies room made from women’s high-heeled shoes. Whether you choose pizza from their wood fired oven or one of the pasta varieties I suggest you include at least a side order of the grilled shrimp. They may very well be the best shrimp I’ve ever tasted.

A romantic spot to catch a light brunch is the coffee shop inside Coldwater Books at 6th and Main in Tuscumbia. When I take dates there I prefer the tables upstairs because they offer a nice spot to relax and chat over a latte and a pastry. For lunch you might want to try Sweet Basil Café at 1627 Darby Drive in Florence and for romance you won’t want to miss the Palace Drug Store on Main Street in Tuscumbia. It offers a vintage soda fountain that’s been completely restored. What could be more romantic than sharing an old fashioned soda with 2 straws!
