Best Restaurants for Foodies in Westchase

We needed a nice mid afternoon middle of the week meal and we knew Amalfi was open. We are monthly (at least) patrons of the restaurant but never at 3:00 PM. The just right background music and 5 table occupancy both helped the decor ( that is most likely overlooked during the 7:00 PM usually full restaurant experience) was now fully enjoyed and appreciated. The pace of work in the kitchen allowed the chef to deliver really excellent cuisine and beautiful presentations. Tuna tartare, the restaurant cured salmon on arugula salad and the perfect wild mushrooms and truffle pasta made the middle of the day repast perfect! We will try it again soon!

The food and service is always outstanding, perfect for a birthday celebration!

Nice neighborhood, family-owned Italian restaurant, not fancy but very comfortable. Service was outstanding by a very knowledgeable young lady acting with extreme professionalism. We started with the Crispy Polenta Chips for an appetizer; they were cooked perfectly light crispy exterior with a smooth cream inside. Our table had four entrees: 1) Eggplant al Forno - 4 breaded slices of eggplant with a side of Capellini with a light tomato sauce. Rate 4/5. 2) Spaghetti Carbonara - Appeared to be Pancetta rather than Guanciale, but still very good. Sauce could use some work. Rate 3.5/5. 3) Crab Cake (special off menu) - Two crab cakes served with Risotto and veggies. Rate 5/5. 4) Pappardelle Bolognese - Typical Bolognese, the other guest thought it was one of the best he'd had. Rate 5/5. Portions were large, leaving plenty for lunch the next day. The bread was excellent!!

The spinach salad and the seafood gumbo were both outstanding and made for a perfect lunch! The owner Russell, is always great to come and say hello, and we had excellent service by Diego.

Waiter was very attentive made sure we were well, Food was Really good everything came as expected, as for ambience the lighting is amazing
