    Amoré is one of our favorites as there is a choice of Italian or Portuguese entrés. And, they have Eddie Tobin, pianist performing on Sunday nights. We dined with friends and all enjoyed the food. My Ravioli of the day with lobster and crab was fabulous. Two guests loved their lobster with crab bisque soup. Nearby someone ordered Seafood Cataplana which is going to be my order on my next visit, which will be soon!

    Excellent restaurant. It's a little hard to find, but a precious jewel. The food is typical Portuguese and Italian. Very romantic, with soft live music.

    # A Charming Portuguese Dining Experience We discovered this hidden gem of a restaurant, and what a special place it is! The Portuguese owner makes a point to visit your table for a friendly chat, creating an immediate sense of welcome. The experience goes beyond just dining—the restaurant's singer not only stops by your table to converse but even encouraged me to sing a Brazilian song in Portuguese! Note: I am Brazilian... The warm atmosphere extends to the other guests, with fellow diners occasionally approaching our table to share a comment or appreciation. The ambiance is thoroughly pleasant, complemented by delicious food and an excellent wine selection. I absolutely loved this place. It offers that rare combination of genuine hospitality, entertainment, and outstanding cuisine that makes for a truly memorable dining experience.
