    Best Italian food and service in the city. Audi greeted us at the door and showed us to our table. We had the prawns, pappardelle and taglioline, and a bottle of wine. Everything was excellent and the service could not have been better. This is a great spot for a date night, business lunch, or just sharing a great night with friends. Be sure you ask for Audi and Ademir! They are the best.

    We love Amore. This is a special neighborhood spot. The kitchen knows what it’s doing and hardly ever misfires. Arugula salad and roasted branzino with sautéed spinach and roasted potatoes were unfussy and fantastic as always. The beef tenderloin with foie gras was decadent and perfectly executed, and the budino di limone an outstanding sweet treat to cap the meal.

    More lives! We hadn't been to a restaurant bearing this name in 15 years. But we were not disappointed. Creative, delicious food, excellent wine selection, solitude, engaged staff. A little loud for date night, but this was one for us to savor!

    Excellent experience. Could not have been better service and a great atmosphere for some of the best Italian food I’ve had in the US.
