Had a friend celebrate a birthday here and owner is legitimately unwell. From the moment she called and made the reservation Greg was V rude and aggressive. I even told her from the phone call alone maybe to pick somewhere else but she’s been wanting to try the food. After making such a huge deal about the time of the reservation and number in the party, they ended up not even being ready for us ???? so it was pushed back about a half hour.We arrived and Greg came to the table (4/10 were there) asking “so where’s everyone else at???” My friend “ they’re just getting out of their cars they’ll be walking up any moment…” HE WENT OUTSIDE AND CAME BACK TO THE TABLE SAYING “I just looked outside and in the parking lot and no one is there so where are they???” I have NEVER IN MY LIFE experienced such straight up harassment. Two minutes later the rest of the party arrived and at certain points during the meal Greg just stood there. Arms crossed and just a foot away from the table just staring at us? It was so uncomfortable. The entire party was POC and there was comment made about us all being related?? Lots of bizarre behavior through the entire meal. At the end of the day I strongly believe he didn’t want to take our 8pm reservation for such a big party bc they close at 9. They could of turned us down. He’s the owner apparently so instead of acting so bizarre and straight up rude why not just say no we don’t accommodate reservations this late or party’s this big. We would have gladly taken our business somewhere else MORE WELCOMING AND WITH BETTER FOOD. I never do yelp reviews but again I absolutely have to reiterate how bizarre and rude specifically the owner Greg is. Don’t make reservations here for big parties and esp if you’re people of color! My friend deserved more on her special day. Shout out to our waiter tho he really tried making it better.

Menu is a bit stodgy, e.g., take your parents here and they will love it. Great service.

Visited Saturday night. Live music was sensational, a pleasant surprise. Our waiter was incredible. Spaghetti with meatball was a swarm of complimentary flavors, massaging my taste buds, like an affectionate lover. Wifey ordered the Halibut which was a special for that day. It was flakey, and melted in our mouths. This place is very fairly priced. Unlimited hot fresh bread was great too.

First off, it's incredible. The atmosphere is fun, romantic, and inviting. Jill was our server, and from the first smile was fantastic! The live music really brought the whole feeling of this place together. Everything we ate was spectacular. We shared the fried calamari, and the pepperocini sauce was addictive. The caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had. My husband had the capellini pomodoro. He said it was light, refreshing, and perfectly cooked. He added chicken, and it was mouthwatering. I had the famous cioppino. It was excellent, I literally was speechless. The shellfish just fell out of the shell, the salmon melted in your mouth, the shrimp were perfectly cooked, and don't even get me started on the scallops. The latte was absolutely perfect, and he really enjoyed his Super Tuscan wine. I was never without water, and service was absolutely excellent. Jill was absolutely a delight and we will definitely be back!!! 10/10 would recommend.

Forgot about this place but glad I realized it is still there. Quality authentic Italian food. Started with the steamed clams which came in a generous portion in a fabulous wine sauce. This dish alone is worth a visit. My entree was the Pasta al Pomodoro. Large portion, served steaming hot which I like. The sauce was sweet, zesty, and flavorful. One of my favorite sauces around. The waiter was professional and the owner or manager came to our table to see how we were doing. The food times were a little slow but I will give them a pass since they were very busy and friendly.

We sat on the patio on a Wednesday night and our party of four were all pleased with the experience. We appreciated the slow pace, allowing us to enjoy our cocktails and never felt rushed to order. The food was delicious, each of us ordering something different. The meatball with the spaghetti was amazing and a couple of is ordered the seafood specials which were both fresh and well prepared. We will most definitely add this to our dining rotation. Thanks for a fantastic evening.

BOOM! Always trying to find that good Italian food that sparks memories. L'Amore food and service did not disappoint. Recommend the Shrimp Scampi for appetizer, then hit the Spaghetti Bolognese with the Meatball or the Linguini and Clams. Tiramisu for dessert, perfecto! Bon appetito!

I absolutely Do Not recommend the Caprese salad. I got 2 slices of tomato and 2 slices of mozzarella. The rest of the salad was a lot of spinach so sparcely dressed the only flavor was spinach. For $12 this was a giant disappointment.The service was addiquit, however, lacked any enthusiasm or smiles.The bread rolls tasted like pizza crust with no flavor.The spaghetti with everything was acceptable, but sadly, overshadowed by my disappointment in the salad and bread.

Our party had a fabulous time. Service was incredible. Austin, our server, was on top of it through the entire experience. Definitely plan to go again and again. It was a beautiful evening so we were privileged to get patio sitting.

I almost don't want people to know about this place out of fear that it will be to difficult to dine here. One of the best meals I've ever had in my life. The atmosphere was amazing, the service was excellent, and the food was out of this world.
