I'll begin with a positive. We had a lovely window seat for two and we were warmly greeted. There were 2 people at the bar and two tables of 4 people each. One couple seated outside. It was Friday night 7:15. Amarone presents the illusion of an upscale dining experience. My expectations were too high and I was fooled. I ordered a shrimp pasta dish and my husband a spicy red sauced sausage pasta both off the daily specials menu. The shrimp was overcooked to the point that it was difficult to cut and impossible to chew. I immediately sent it back and gave the chef another chance while my husband slowly ate his meal which was just okay. The second attempt was cooked properly but lacked garlic. No concession was offered for the inconvenience of it all especially eating alone as I encouraged my husband to eat his while it was warm. Ordering off the 'today's specials' menu implies a fresh well prepared meal at an upscale restaurant. Sadly Not so at Amarones.

My wife and I had a pleasant dinner after taking a nice walk around Guilford. We enjoyed our meals, the service was just right and the music was old style Italian American. We got there a little early, about 5:45, on a week night so it wasn't very busy.

We've not had a perfect dining experience in a long, long time!
We began with salads, then gnocchi dishes and finally dessert. Everything was perfect. Service was paced perfectly. Our salads were large and tossed lightly in house dressing. The house-made gnocchi was delicate with wonderful tasting red sauce (dish 1) and pesto creme sauce (dish 2). Portions were just right. Dessert consisted of chocolate layer cake (dense and rich) and pistachio cake (light and airy).
The atmosphere and decor was comfortable and much nicer than the exterior signaled.
I could add more adjectives to this review but why try when the precise description is simply; perfect.

The man with two names was arrest for first degree child pornography. He is the husband of the owner, correct? Absolutely sickening. Never again will I spend my money there.

Went there on a Monday Night. Had an amazing window table was great to look out over the green. Al our server was amazing attentive but not overbearing . Had zuppa de pease was amazing seafood was so fresh and tender. Started with the stuff figs (a must try) also had pork chop Sicilian pork chop was Hugh and cooked to perfection. And was a great plus to have 1/2 off bottle of wines. Finished our meal with the exotic Bamba , expresso and sambucca what an amazing finish.This has become our to go to place since moving to the area recent .

Oh my goodness was this place a wonderful find!!! The atmosphere was comfortably elegant with the light touch of holiday decorations. The food, yum so many homemade pasta 3 different versions of gnocchi ? and papardelle with the lobster ? the we skipped appetizers so we could ensure there was room for dessert. The tiramisu didn't last long enough for a proper picture.Definitely going back again and again for the rest of the menu *chef kiss*

Mediocre, pappardelle pasta with lobster in a cream sauce was house marinara with oregano no cream and 3 tiny pieces of lobster that was very fishy. Two others I was with had dishes with mashed potatoes that were out of the box which when we said it to the waiter, it fell on deaf ears, no answer is a answer. The Panne Cotta was very good. Rosso Vino for me, I tried here twice……so this was the reply I recieved,1 reviewa day agoResponse from the owner a day agoThank you so much . You must modified the dish to your liking because our pappardelle lobster comes in tomato cream sauce like a vodka. Sometimes it’s best to choose something without modification. We appreciate your honesty and say hello to Joe at Rosso best guy everI never modified the dish, it was suppose to come with a cream sauce, you never addressed 3 tiny pieces of lobster very fishy and mashed potatoes out of a box??? $400 later and you try to mislead customers by these remarks???

I liked it here a lot. Impeccable service and the food I had was delicious. A little pricey, but the portions were fair, the vibe was nice, I liked the decor. This a nice place to go for a special occasion.
