    It was very good. However, we were seated very close to the bar and it was noisy. People were standing around talking within 2 feet of us, which was a little uncomfortable. But the food and service was outstanding.

    Good food and superb service!! It is a bit noisy though, but that wasn’t a deal killer. You know it’s a good Italian restaurant if a portrait of “old blue eyes” is hanging over the bar!

    I was searching for a highly rated Italian restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised by my experience. The staff and food were excellent. A special recognition for our server DJ who made recommendations that were amazing. I will definitely return!

    food was amazing. we split a meal (basically a sampler platter) Sunday gravy. It was great and had two plates of left overs. Pork and beef braciola is amazing. Sound level wasn't terrible but somewhat loud. I do not like low lights but evidently a lot of people do. I would highly recommend for special occasions.

    We had a great experience. They placed the wine in decanter which was first class. We ordered beggars purse appetizer and 2 seafood entrees. Large portions and waiter was attentive. The bread pudding dessert was good but more than the 2 of us could eat. Can’t wait to go back again

    Food was absolutely delicious! Wait staff was great. Ambiance was perfect for a nice, quiet dinner in a dark corner. Enjoyed it for our anniversary but would likely come back soon just because the food was wonderful and it was convenient to our location. Highly recommend!

    There are few choices of great restaurants in the Greystone, Inverness, 280 area. Amore is a great restaurant! It is surprising to find it in a office strip. Also, worth the trip across town from Homewood, Vestavia, Hoover, Trussville, Chelsea, Mountain Brook, Birmingham. Even if I lived in Pelham, Gardendale or Alabaster, I’d drive to Amore for a great date night.

    Food was great as was the service. However, a $13 charge for splitting a meal, especially given the large meal size and the high price is ridiculous. You should be ashamed. Heck, just bring an extra dinner plate and the diners can do it themselves! Two of us spent close to $200, with two dinners and one cocktail and wine. And just think, we may have had a desert if not for having eaten so much for dinner!
