    I will always happily review Cafe Amore. We had an early NYE dinner here with my parents. The restaurant was fully staffed and tastefully decorated for the holidays. I really appreciate that the owners do not change their menu, or force a prix fixe situation on NYE as many similar restaurants might. We had the spinach and artichoke dip which is insanely delicious. We also shared the seafood stuffed mushrooms. I love that they have a pretty good gluten free bun to enjoy with the dip. My only complaint is I wish I didn’t have to share. Our salads were delicious. Garden, Caesar and Greek were plentiful and well dressed. For our main courses we enjoyed the Shrimp and Crab pasta- one with fettuccine and one with GF pasta, the Poseidon pasta in a garlic cream sauce and a linguini with meatballs. Everyone was extremely pleased with their choices. We had no room for dessert, but as always the dessert counter was filled with delicious looking cakes, some gluten free as well. Our server was attentive and very good at her job. She didn’t try to rush us out at all. I love that Cafe Amore has so many gluten free options clearly labeled on their menu, which means I know I have safe choices I can make and I don’t have to ask the server who then has to ask the kitchen, which always makes me nervous. I have been here for NYE countless times in the last 10 years. I look forward to many more.

    Love the atmosphere of this restaurant. I ordered pasta with shrimp and clam. I had it with Angel Hair pasta. I think next time I will choose a different pasta. There was too much sauce which made it a little watery. My friend had eggplant parmigiana and enjoyed it. My husband really enjoyed his dinner. Service was terrific. Will come back again.

    Lovely night with our daughter visiting from out west and her grandparents. We had calamari and bruschetta to share, veal parmigiana, steak Gorgonzola, a couple of the feature pastas and veal Scaloppine. Everything was delicious and service was excellent.

    Took my wife and daughter out for dinner before going to see Cirque du Soleil to make it a proper evening out and was very happy with our choice for dinner and the show. Menu had plenty of selections across all courses and the wait staff were very friendly and professional. We were not rushed and were able to enjoy our dinner even though the restaurant was basically packed by the time we left at 6pm as we had reservations for 4:45 on a Saturday. Food was presented well and portions were just right, my wife and daughter had pasta and seafood while I opted for a wood fired pizza which was absolutely delicious. I can see us going back in the future with some friends as there are a number of other dishes I would like to try.
