AmarenaAmazing as usual!,This place is amazing! I have been to Amarena 4 times now and love it. The food is always incredible. I am so lucky it is a block from my house!5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMCute Neighborhood GemMy friends and I decided to take a chance on a new restaurant and I'm so glad we did. The food was delicious, we all finished everything on our plates and wanted more. The portions were generous and again, so yummy! The restaurant itself is small and intimate, could be romantic, but it was still fun with four people. The wait staff was friendly and helpful and let us try the wine before we decided on what bottle we wanted which was a big plus for us. All in all, a great place!5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMFamily friendlyWe met some family at this Italian restaurant. The restaurant felt like we were in a dining room of a family member. All of the employees seemed to be Italian and very friendly.
The portions were perfectly sized, not too big nor too small. Everything I had was delicious and everyone else said likewise.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMA great find!i love this place - wish i had found it sooner! had the cherry tomato soup which was awesome - tart and very fresh. also ordered the chicken and wondered "how good could a roast half chicken be?" - well, it was delicious. crispy roasted skin with rosemary on it, tender meat, sautéed spinach and roasted potatoes on the side. i would definitely have this dish again-
on my prior visit, i had the tuna tartare which was really good and some salumi which comes with these puffed up donut like bread balls that are savory. oh my god - that stuff was insane!
this is a very well run, family-owned place that obviously takes great pride in what they serve.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent Experience!Great Food, great ambiance, great service, and the greatest memories!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat neighborhood Italian restauraLoved the food & they were excellent at the pacing.

Will definitely return!3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMAmarena has my favorite TiramisuAmarena has my favorite Tiramisu in the US, and this is coming from a Tiramisu snob. Fantastic rotating wine list. We had an Italian varietals from a specific year that was a small vintage and is no longer available. So tasty, too bad we forgot to take a picture. The service is attentive and the waiters have a pleasant Italian accent that adds to the ambiance. Everyone is very knowledgeable and can provide recommendations based on your preferences. I had the lasagna which was super yummy. The others also walked away happy!3/8/2013 12:00:00 AM
