L'amore Italian Restaurant

I made reservations for indoor seating but we were seated on the patio because “other reservations had changed.” The summer heat was almost tolerable with the fans and misters. The food was mediocre. 

A+++!! Owner Greg and his team have curated a phenomenal Italian dining experience reminiscent of Little Italy in Brooklyn! My father in law said it's the best lasagna he's ever had. Overall, the food was wonderful and the ambiance top notch. Can now see why this place is always crowded! Highly recommended, now one of my new faves!

Everytthing you want in a fine dining experience. Great value. Best experience in Scottsdale

Have eaten here 3 occasions, always excellent! Blackened shrimp and sausage pasta was incredibly tasty...

Always exceptional food. Always outstanding staff; very little turnover, so you get to know the team. If you want pure decadence, check out their chocolate-banana bread pudding. Also, excellent bar & wine offerings.

I can't tell you with accuracy that L'Amore is the Best Restaurant in America not just Arizona‼️ The food, service and ownership are the epitome of Hospitality‼️❤️ A must in The Phoenix Area‼️❤️🇺🇸

Simply AMAZING all the way around! Food was delicious - service was excellent - music was relaxing and even met the owners who are simply refreshing people and genuinely care about their customers experience! Could not recommend more highly!

Our server, Sal was terrific! Highly skilled at juggling many tables. The food was very good as usual. When combined with the level of service made this an outstanding experience.

Been going there for almost 25 years. Food has always been the best but not as good last few times. Ownership and service is always great.

Only reason for deduction was that my meal was wrong, asked to add chicken but arrived without it. Staff was so friendly and engaging, prompt, made it a great experience.

We were looking for a romantic spot for a dinner date. This isn't the place. It's more of a neighborhood bar-dining scene. Very busy. Very loud. So if that's what you're looking for, it's great for a late afternoon, early evening hangout. They sat us right next to the singer/guitarist. Literally two feet away. I could reach out and touch him if I wanted to. We couldn't have a conversation. I was annoyed the whole time. It's not a knock on the musician, but even if I were there specifically to see him perform, it was too close. There should not be a table there. Food was good but nothing amazing. Same with the service.

HOLY MOLY. There are not enough stars to rate this place. It is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Service makes you feel like family. Servers are best of the best, owner sees every table. Everything about the experience feels special. Cannelloni special was hands down the best we’ve ever had, custom order of chicken parm + cheese tortellini was just stupidly good, half portion of spaghetti bolognese was our child’s favorite meal by far on our 8 day tour around Arizona. Child who doesn’t like mushrooms said the creamy mushroom soup was the best soup he’s ever had (adult can confirm, yes best ever).

We will plan our next trip to Phoenix around this destination. You should, too!

This is a wonderful local spot with owners actively involved even when they probably no longer have to be. This was the first time for my wife and I and it was an amazing experience! We sat at the bar and had the cannelloni enter special and Caprese salad. The food was top notch, including the bread. The live music adds a nice touch, too. Both bartenders were great. Madison was a bundle of positive energy, engaging and down to earth. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed. We’ll definitely be back!
