Amore: Reviews & Ratings
Came here for a cozy, romantic date night and left feeling like family! The restaurant is beautiful and cozy on the inside, the service was phenomenal from the moment we walked in. Anastacio treated us like family and we adored our table side truffle pasta. Our meal, wine, and desert were incredible and we have absolutely zero complaints about our dinner here. This will become a staple date night spot for us and will absolutely be back soon!
Very nice restaurant that my husband thoroughly enjoyed. I was less impressed; however, service was good, a few menu items (not everything) were tasty but not great. The restaurant was very busy so it must be popular for a reason. My husband wants to return. I’ll give it another chance. I’ll request a table further into the main dining room for a different experience.
recently hosted a party of 30 people at Amore Italian, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was absolutely amazing. The staff was incredibly accommodating, making sure every single request was met with a smile. Our waiters were attentive, listened to everything we said, and catered to all of our needs without hesitation. Now, the food—phenomenal! Every dish came out hot and fresh, bursting with flavor. The portion sizes were beyond generous, ensuring that no one left hungry. Whether it was the pasta, seafood, or classic Italian entrees, everything was cooked to perfection. Despite the size of our party, the kitchen delivered every plate flawlessly and in a timely manner. Amore Italian truly made our night special. The combination of exceptional service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere made for an unforgettable dining experience. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with top-tier hospitality, this is the place to be! I will definitely be returning.
We had an amazing experience at Amore! Omar was an awesome waiter, he was super attentive and he also educated us on types of wines and I discovered that I love moscato ! The atmosphere is so beautiful ! The food was SO delicious!! All the staff there were very nice and attentive.We cannot wait to go back. It is definitely a perfect romantic date night place.
We celebrated our anniversary lat night and it was truly unforgettable! A special thank you to Manuel for warmly welcoming us and to the staff for making the evening so special. The food was outstanding, the croquettes were perfectly crispy, the octopus salad was fresh and flavorful, and the truffle tagliolini was pure perfection with its rich, earthy truffle flavor. Every dish showcased authentic Italian flavors that transported us straight to Italy. The cozy atmosphere, paired with exceptional service, made our night even more memorable. If you’re looking for incredible food and a welcoming vibe, Amore is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return!
My son's rehearsal dinner was held at Amore Ristorante on 5/16/25 in the beautiful glass room facing the water. From start to finish, the food, service and ambiance was first rate. Guests remarked how wonderful the experience was at Amore. If you have a group event coming up, definitely book at Amore! You will fall in "love" with everything.
Best Italian food and service in the city. Audi greeted us at the door and showed us to our table. We had the prawns, pappardelle and taglioline, and a bottle of wine. Everything was excellent and the service could not have been better. This is a great spot for a date night, business lunch, or just sharing a great night with friends. Be sure you ask for Audi and Ademir! They are the best.
A friend and I went to Amore to celebrate 2 years of sobriety for me, Raul’s service and knowledge was impeccable we had a 6 course feast and the tables was cleared and cleaned and our utensils were replenished for each one. When a table opened up next to use they moved it over to combine out tables because we had so much food which was a nice touch. This place is authentic Italian small tables incredibly intimate I’m not even sure there was any music playing, it is not American Italian so if you are looking for Alfredo or chicken parm you’ll have to look elsewhere. I recommend the prawn starter along with the Truffle Tagliolinni and the porterhouse. Chocolate cake and espresso for dessert is a must.
