    We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. The meal, the environment, the waiters (yes, we had 3 that helped us) but Steven was the main man, everything was super! They were knowledgeable about the food and drinks and were very attentive and kept saying let us know if you need anything. We both left full and with leftovers. They brought us a nice creme brûlée with a dusting spelled out “Happy Anniversary”. We sat near another couple that was celebrating their 50th Anniversary. Great choice for our occasion.

    Outstanding food & service. For the price of the bread pudding it should be smothered in sauce. Sauce was almost non existent

    The lighting was done perfectly indirect. Just enough to make you and your date feel truly intimate! Waiting staff was wonderful and we never had to ask for anything. Food was delicious and the cloth hand towels used in the restrooms to dry hands was an unexpected, yet simple luxury that surprised me! I recommend.

    I was in town visiting for work so decided to try this place. My waiter had a hard time hearing/understanding me. When I did not want the house salad he gave me other options. I said wedge and he gave me insalata caprese. What I did not know until I got the check is it was a $9 charge. If I had known that I would have gone with nothing. The wedge had too much dressing for me. My main course was the pollo alla gorgonzola. To die for. I took home leftovers and ate the rest for breakfast the next day. The meal was rather pricey for Italian. Next time I am in the area I will get the pasta to go and drink the cheap wine at the hotel.

    Excellent in every respect. Service top notch and very accommodating as one of our group was very late and server and chef managed to get her salad and entrée out to pace with the rest of the group. Great wine selection. Veal chop, veal parm, salmon pasta, Mediterranean chicken, and "Sunday gravy" authentic and delicious with generous portions. Great grilled oysters and breads. Desserts delicious! Thanks!

    Food was very good; server made nice suggestions, but could have been a little more attentive; however, it was very, very busy. Thanks to Tanya, we got a more quiet table or noise would have been even louder. Host or maître de seemed a little too anxious for us to leave--he kept coming to the door and checking. My husband is a slow-eater due to medical issues. Overall, it was a very good experience and we will go back.

    Amore is an intimate Italian restaurant, upscale with great food and friendly, attentive, service. With standards like Sinatra and Dean Martin playing amid the dark woods and the paintings of scenes from Italy, Amore is an excellent choice for a romantic dinner.

    We had a wonderful early Valentines celebration dinner here this weekend! As newcomers to the area, this was our first time visiting, but it will not be our last. Our main server, Chase, was pleasant, fun and knowledgeable. All of the staff worked seamlessly to make it as nice of an evening as we can remember having in a long time. The lasagna was good, and the Gamberetti Amoré was one of the best things we’ve tried in forever. Thank you and we can’t wait to be back!

    Amore is a first rate restaurant. It is clearly one of the better restaurants in town. I had the Seared Scallops with Mediterranean vegetables, linguine, and Italian sausage. The scallops were perfectly seared. The vegetables were some of the best that I have ever had. Well seasoned and prepared. My wife had the Gulf Shrimp Amore and she loved her dish as well. Because it was my birthday, they gave us a free crème brûlée dessert. Amore has quickly become one of our restaurants.
