Not very crowded, but the service staff seemed to be short handed. Our order was taken, brought to the table, and didn't see the server until the check came. The bread and dipping sauce was fabulous, the dinner (2 pizzas) was fair.

Food was fresh and served together for 5 people. Service was slow and we had to hunt down our server almost 1/2 hour after our arrival time. Bread service was hot, crusty and yummy. Entrees were 2 mixed seafood over pasta with marinara, 1 mushroom tagliatelle and 2 duck dinners. Would definitely return and try dining outside.

Food was absolutely scrumptious! We shared the salad with apples, carrots, cabbage Parmesan, the sausage and broccoli rabe appetizer and the braised lamb shank. Hubby had a bourbon Manhattanwhich he said was perfectly prepared. Bread and dipping oil, yummy. Tge only reason I left one star off for service, drink orders were slow to place. The food orders were very prompt and came out perfect to timed. I highly recommend.

Something a bit different in the Coconut Point area. Have small plates or an entree or a wood fired pizza in the same place. We are never disappointed when dining at Amfora!

Bella the hostess was a breath of fresh air... So many times these days you go to places and they act like your bothering them... She was very pleasant and informative. Overall we liked it there and we will go back. My Osso Bucco was delightful and my husband enjoyed his duck.

Party of 5. Appetizers and beverages were good, entrees were hit or miss. One big disappointment was the wild mushroom pappardelle which was dry and flavorless and lacking anything that resembled a fresh vegetable.
