    The food here was amazing and the service was even better! My friend asked about two dishes that weren’t on the menu, and the chef went out of their way to make it for her. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back!

    We come to Amore’s over and over because the food never disappoints and it is a quiet place where you can actually talk and hear each other! The service is always excellent. It is not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for!

    I tried 2 pizzas, very good, especially Robiola cheese and arugula. Very nice atmosphere, except that it was freezing inside.

    The food was fantastic, but the service didn't quite meet our expectations. Overall, it's a great spot for a date.
