Materialists, a modern romantic dramedy, explores the love triangle of Lucy, Harry, and John, highlighting economic contrasts through restaurant choices. Matchmaker Lucy experiences dates at upscale venues with Harry, and casual settings with John. The best first date restaurant prioritizes conversation over ambiance. Song emphasizes the significance of setting, saying a noisy restaurant can ruin the experience. She notes the ideal venue should balance fantastic food with a conducive environment for connection. Altro Paradiso is highlighted as a great date spot for Lucy and Harry.
The economic contrasts between the two men are best seen through restaurants, Song explains. The perfect first date restaurant is somewhere conducive to talking, not necessarily the best new restaurant.
I've been to hot, cool restaurants, but I've not enjoyed myself because I can't hear the person I'm there with, and we have to shout, and then my voice is gone.
An ideal restaurant is where the food is fucking awesome. If you're on a first date, you might even want to sacrifice a little bit of the food for a quieter room.
Harry and Lucy's first meal together takes place at Altro Paradiso, 'an amazing restaurant that's a great place to go on a date,' Song says.
