Find all the Romantic Dinner Ideas for Valentine’s Day in one place! From bite-sized appetizers to side dishes, main courses and even desserts, this post has it all!

Ah, sweet love.

It’s that time of year where pink and red hearts pop up all over the stores and there are giant Valentine’s Day cards for sale at nearly every cash register.

Typically my husband and I celebrate Valentine’s Day dinner at our house. Sometimes the hustle and bustle of trying to get a table at a nice restaurant can really zap the romance out of the evening. Instead I like to whip up something real fancy and special. But mostly it’s just easy and convenient and less expensive.

Appetizers:

Brie and Asparagus Phyllo Tarts – Romantic, elegant and super easy!

Crunchy Caprese Bites – Super fresh tasting, especially with some fresh basil!

Grilled Sausage and Crostini Stackers – Lots of great flavors happening here and all in one bite!
