These 7 ALDI Finds Will Transport You to Italy Just in Time for Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is officially almost here, which means it’s time for some of us who haven’t made dinner plans for the holiday already to go into panic mode.

Thankfully, ALDI has us last-minute types covered with the latest batch of its signature ALDI Finds for February. Among its offerings this month are a number of items that are tailor-made for crafting the perfectly romantic Valentine’s dinner for two right at home—all at a wallet-friendly price, too.

Read on for a few of the Valentine’s Day dinner-friendly items you can pick up from ALDI right now.

1. Specialty Selected Smoked Mozzarella Ravioli

There’s something about a stuffed pasta, especially a ravioli, that just feels extra decadent, probably because they can be so labor-intensive. These frozen ravioli took care of all the hard work for you, and they are packed with so many flavors—mozzarella and ricotta cheeses, black pepper, and parsley—that you won’t have to think too hard about a sauce. A bit of butter, Parmesan cheese, and fresh garlic would be all you need. One pack costs $3.

2. Specialty Selected Authentic Italian Pizzas

Who says a frozen pizza isn’t romantic?! Not us. These $4 stone-baked pizzas are imported from Italy and available in two flavor combinations; why not get both? The first pizza offering is topped with mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and arugula, while the second option is topped with mozzarella, mushrooms, and mascarpone. Sounds like a guaranteed “mmm” to us.

3. Tuscan Garden Muffuletta Olive Salad

If you’re looking to bring a bit more flavor and depth to your Valentine’s Day feast, this Italian-style olive salad should do the trick. Imagine this spread on freshly toasted bread to kick off your dinner. The muffuletta mix includes sliced olives and a vegetable mixture in oil and is priced at $4.99.

4. Priano Bronze Cut Orzo or Stars

Not a pizza or ravioli person? ALDI also has two varieties of its bronze-cut pasta imported from Italy: stars or orzo. Bronze-cut pasta will cling better to your pasta sauce, making for a more flavorful, satisfying bite, and at $2 per pack, you really can’t go wrong with these.

5. Priano Italian Style Cookies

Of course, it wouldn’t be a romantic Valentine’s dinner without something sweet, and ALDI also has plenty of options in the dessert department as well. First up are these Italian-style cookies packed with Amarena cherry flavor. One pack of these tempting cookies retails for $4.

6. Sundae Shoppe Italian Gelato Cups

If you are looking for something truly out of the ordinary, these Italian-made cappuccino gelato cups are brilliant. At $4 for two servings (cups included!), these budget-friendly desserts will end your holiday perfectly. You might want to go ahead and buy two packs for a day-after-Valentine’s treat, too.

7. Barissimo Bourbon Pecan or Amaretto Cups

All those delicious bites might leave you in need of a caffeine boost, and that’s where these light-roast coffee cups (compatible with 2.0 brewers) come in. They are available in Bourbon Pecan or Amaretto flavors. One pack includes 12 single-serve pods and retails for $5.
