Taylor Swift is mixing business with pleasure.

The singer, who just so happens to be New York City's ambassador for tourism, took her Scottish boyfriend Calvin Harris to dinner at L'asso on Kenmare St. and Mott St. Tuesday night, E! News can confirm. The "Bad Blood" singer, 25, and the music producer, 31, selected a corner booth in the back of the pizza place. "The place had about 15 tables, so it was very small and intimate," a fellow patron says.

An AQUA-clad Swift ordered a glass of white wine, while Harris drank water.

"They ordered a salad and then two gluten-free pizzas. Before the food came they were holding hands and they were really engaged with each other. You can tell they were totally a couple and so into one another. They laughed and were talking throughout the night," the diner says of the stars, who met in February. "When the pizza came, Taylor served Calvin a slice of pizza on his plate then gave herself one."

At one point, Swift took out her phone and showed it to Harris. "She took his hand towards the end and put it close to her heart," the diner says. "It was a sincere gesture." Harris paid the bill, and the new couple headed home around 11 p.m.

"As they were leaving, they were holding hands," the patron tells E! News.

Earlier that night, Harris was seen arriving at Swift's apartment in Tribeca.

Since taking their romance public earlier this year, Swift and Harris have been spotted getting cozy all over the U.S., in cities like L.A., Las Vegas and Nashville. Because of their busy schedules—Swift will take her 1989 World Tour to Detroit this Saturday, while Harris will perform at Wet Republic in Las Vegas—the two must travel to see one another. As two of the biggest musicians in the world, they're used to that kind of schedule. "Aside from the incredible chemistry, here [is] a woman that really understood Calvin's world and vice versa," a source recently told E! News. "She's funny and a good person and Calvin's very charismatic."

"Women throw themselves at him," a friend of Harris' said of the "Summer" producer. "He can never tell if they are really interested in him as a person or if the attention is just because of his fame and fortune. But when he met Taylor, it was different. For the first time in a long time here was someone who was his equal. They have a mutual respect for one another. They understand one another. They are on the same level and that's been a good starting point for both of them."
