    We were lucky enough to have had the same fantastic server two years in a row for our daughter's birthday celebration. The food is awesome and the pasta is egg free which is what brought us to Amaro Bistro in the first place. Thanks again for a great night. The short rib with mushroom risotto was out of this world.

    Seating was too tight my daughter had to scoot her chair each time so the waitresses could walk between the tables

    Very nice restaurant. The food was good albeit the bolognese was nothing to write home about; very basic. Everything else was excellent.

    I live very close so it's natural that I eat here frequently. I love all of the food I have had at Amaro. The staff is attentive and friendly. The price is a little high but I still feel that I get value for the cost. I highly recommend Amaro.

    Excellent service, as always! This is one of our favorite restaurants. Our server was fantastic and he remembered us from last time. I ordered the special, which was a ravioli dish, but there were only four raviolis. It seemed a bit sparse for the price of the meal. Whereas my husband ordered lasagna and it was enough to feed three people.  I was a little disappointed in the portion size.

    We really enjoy Amaro. Great food, great service and nice atmosphere. Only downside is that it is a little noisy and can be hard to have a conversation.
