Top notch! Everything just worked. It was our first time dining at Amore, which was a Birthday celebration. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to dine there. All guests in my party of five left completely satisfied. Service, selection and prices were all fantastic!

We celebrated our friend’s birthday at Amore last night, and it was an incredible experience! Two of my friends had the sea bass special, and I enjoyed the ribeye—both were absolutely delicious. The wedge salad was a standout too—so fresh and flavorful! The service was fantastic, with the staff making us feel so welcome and well taken care of throughout the evening. From the warm atmosphere to the amazing food, it was a perfect night. We’ll definitely be back!

Amore never fails to impress. This by far, is one of our absolute favorite spots. The food is always excellent, service is spot on and they always treat us like they appreciate our patronage. We've never had a bad experience and have now gotten to the point where we tend to try the specials of the night. The sea bass we just had was beyond expectations! Again, you just won't go wrong here.

We were so impressed with our first visit for our anniversary that we booked a table for 4 for my wife's birthday while at the restaurant. Food and service is excellent. Seating is very limited, so book weeks ahead. Prices are $$$$ due to limited dining room seating and the location is near several high income subdivisions. Expect a meal for two to be at least $150+ including gratituty, but in our opinion, well worth it.
