Amante's Italian Cuisine

Incredible food and service!

The food quality was noticeably better as takeout compared to dining in, which raises some concerns. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant for a special dinner, especially considering the over $100 price tag. In today’s competitive restaurant landscape, establishments—no matter how long they've been in business—need to consistently elevate their offerings.Having enjoyed authentic pizza and handmade pasta in Italy, I was expecting a true Italian dining experience, but what I encountered felt more Americanized than Italian. If a restaurant claims to offer Italian cuisine, I believe they should embrace their heritage and deliver a more authentic representation.The appetizers, specifically the mussels, were underwhelming. In Italy, it's common to lose track of how many mussels are served as part of a generous appetizer, but here, the portion was quite disappointing. Similarly, the mozzarella sticks during happy hour seemed more suited to an American diner than an Italian establishment.The hot sub was another letdown. The waitress tried to advise me on how to order it to avoid insulting the chef, but her suggestions made little sense, and I wasn't impressed. Additionally, the hot beef and onion sub was far from fresh, tasting like it had been sitting around for a while.As for the Sicilian-style pizza, it was a far cry from what you'd expect in Sicily. It felt more like a generic offering than a true representation of Sicilian cuisine.While the ambiance may appeal to some, I suspect many of the patrons haven’t experienced authentic Italian food, which may explain their satisfaction. Overall, I can only give this restaurant 3 stars. There’s definitely room for improvement, and I hope they take the opportunity to refine their offerings moving forward.

Food was ok. But the customer service was great. Not a fan of the spaghetti at all, but the lasagna was pretty good

Have eaten there probably 50 times ....no free parking anymore in front of the restaurant, the landlord apparently "sold the spots to a parking company scam". But the worst is the food is going downhill and the prices continue to go SKYHIGH! Chicken parmigiana is now 30! ...yes no typo. 30! ...its good but not worth 30.00 sorry to say. Prices are out of control ...we all know pasta cost next to nothing and chicken is not that much ....And we asked for bread twice ...and never got it until after the food was served ...this happened the last 2 times as well...they try to NOT SERVE you bread for some reason ...I don't get it bread is insanely cheap and mentally "mitigates" the fact your being ripped off with there outrageous food prices. Very foolish policy of theirs to do this. 3rd time this has happened its not a accident!

The table next to us ...after they saw they food prices they said the decided to order a pizza and split it in order to limit the financial damage of eating dinner there. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and the quality continues to go downhill there too ...they are using less meat and more breadcrumbs and sauce did not have the "rich and full flavor" that it had in the past ..I actually asked the server is the restaurant under new ownership. She said it is not. I am sure they are paying a big number for rent ...but I think the high prices and lower food quality will take its toll on this Amantes, sorry to say I used to really enjoy this place.

We tried the caprese salad, fried mozzarella, meatballs, and the ziti with broccoli and grilled chicken. All was good. Want to try their pizza next.

So so very amazingly delicious!!! Must try at the beach!!! We enjoyed such a feast with such great service!!! We had a slice with superb crust! I tried a lunch sandwich that was absolutely incomparably amazingly deliciously yummy! I also had a delicious bowl of made from scratch Italian Wedding Soup. My boyfriend can’t get past the chicken parm. If I come for lunch again I will be trying a different sandwich, but for dinner I will try the grouper. I have already enjoyed the eggplant parm and the chicken Marsala (both top notch). You cannot go wrong eating here!! Great Italian!!

We shared a Bob's chopped salad as an appetizer and it was it very good. It's a light salad. Not full of cheese and meats and very good tasting. Large portion plenty for two people.
Main course, I got the red snapper livernase which was served with broccoli and it was very good. My husband got the veal cutlet platter and that was also good. Service was great and the drinks were reasonable. Parking is just a little difficult, but if you can't find anything out front there is a municipal lot west of the restaurant on the corner. Good place to order a salad with chicken on top or anything else to eat on the beach since it's walking distance from the beach. They also have a singer at night and you can eat outside or inside. You see that was
