    Fantastic and authentic Italian cuisine--lovely starters (heirloom tomato salad, lamb meatballs) and great pastas. The by the glass wine selection is also brod and contains some excellent options. Our server was very attentive. There were a couple of quite large parties so it was busy--we had to wait to be seated. If you are coming on a Sat might consider making a later reservation (seemed to be easier to get a table around 9PM)

    Amore's lunch menu is a great deal. My tuna carpaccio was elegant and perfectly seasoned. My Livornaise seafood soup/stew was delicious and ample. My chocolate gelato was dark chocolate and a great way to end the meal. All of this was just $36. It was sunny, a white table cloth, plenty of toasted Tuscan style bread and a good olive oil for dipping. It was a tiny vacation in Italy!

    Excellent service and we had all three specials for our Easter brunch. We always get the Dover sole here when it is available. We like the quiet atmosphere so we may have a new ce conversation..

    The experience could have been better if they acknowledged Anniversary. My wife and I were both disappointed.
