Fine wine and food against a magnificent view of the Bosphorus during sunset or under candle light is a great backdrop for romance; while raki and mezes (anise flavored liquor and local Tapas) by the coast of the canal is another.
Whether you choose to go to a five-star restaurant facing the Bosphorus and the straits and pay handsomely for great service and food (such as Zuma or Sunset); or end up in a simple fish house in Rumeli Kavagi, it is for sure that romance will not fail you in Istanbul.
The nostalgia and the beauty that the Bosphorus offers together with great food is pretty much all you need to spice things up.
