    This was the most fun restaurant experience I've had in a looooong time! The food was excellent, the service superb, and the piano guy was awesome! To go to a new (to us) restaurant and have delicious food and sing along with the patrons to "Sweet Caroline?" Best restaurant outing!

    Over priced nickel and dime for everything. Additional charges for sharing a $16 salad $3.50. We were pitching meals also.
    Amore RestaurantResponded on June 2, 2025
    Hi Bill, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We just would like to clarify the split charges on our meals. We are not just charging because there is an extra plate on the table, WE DO CHARGE BECAUSE WE ALSO EXTRA FOOD ON THE PLATES. These charges are mentioned on the menu so, the custome have the option to tequest the split in the kitchen or you can ask for another plate and you can share at the table yourselfs. We truly appreciate your support and, we are looking forward to serving you again soon, Amore Restaurant

    The owners are there, taking care of you! We eat here a lot, and the food is always good. We went last night with friends and had a wonderful meal. The wine list covers just about anything you could want. Entertainment throughout the week is fabulous!

    Great ambience, good friendly service. Unfortunately food was lacking flavor. Seafood was all properly cooked to perfection, but it simply had no taste. It tasted like it was simply cooked in water. Very bland, no garlic, no seasoning. Octopus and rice only flavor it had was plain tomato, again, no garlic no spices, but cooked perfectly tender. We mentioned it to waitress who said she would let someone know and that was all that happened. As we were leaving, obviously frustrated at the expensive tasteless meal, manager or owner did come outside to ask what was wrong. We explained and she tried to be empathetic, but was defensive claiming nobody ever complained and the restaurant was “full” when we got there, they had 6 tables of people max. This place could be great if they could flavor their food, because they obviously know how to cook it properly. Manager/owner offered to tear up check and refund. We Will see what happens on that, but hopefully they at least get better on flavors.
