Amata is an absolute gem of a restaurant. The food is wonderful, the service is great, and the atmosphere is civilized without being stodgy. We dine there fairly regularly and it never disappoints. The martini alone merits a five star review.

A good local Italian restaurant. Pork chops are delicious. Cannot go wrong when Bronzino is on the menu.

A very good food selection. The grilled Bronzino is my favorite. My partner’s choice is the pork chop. The other guests raved about the pasta.

The food was pretty bland. Not horrible, but not good. It’s an older restaurant that seems to cater to an older crowd. We had a reservation and were seated immediately but no one, other than the guy who fills water glasses, paid any attention to us. We had to ask for menus and ask to place our order.
