Table of 5, server was good but I think she was lieing about some of the food. Me and my sisters boy friend got chicken parm, the chicken itself was good, not my favorite tho, pasta sauce was basic and sweat, it was OK, but it was weird my pasta some parts where hot some cold. My sister and girlfriend got the piccata, they both said the chicken was good, my girlfriend said it could of used a little more lemon and capers, my gf thought the mash potato's tasted like instant. My friends son got the Alfredo he ate it all. We asked about the spumoni ice cream the waitress said it was homemade, definitely not cheap quality and spumoni does not have vanilla ice cream in it. And ours had black cherry and I can tell from pictures they had one with maraschino cherry traditional. Tiramisu was soggy with way to much liquor flavor. The key lime cheesecake was OK nothing special tho. For the price and where they are located, they need to be way better in my opinion, but I'm only the Don so what do I know.

From the vibes to the bread to the dinner - 10/10. Bread was hot and fresh, the dipping oil was incredible. The food was amazing. My mom said it’s the best chicken parm she ever had. Pictured is the fettuccine Alfredo and mussels. We didn’t have a reservation and didn’t have to wait to be seated, they accommodated 5 of us and pushed together tables. Waitresses were kind and cheerful! Will definitely be back.

Delicious food. Wonderful service. Our server Ashley was terrific!! The Amaretto Cannolis were a revelation. Absolutely loved the bolo and the scampi. Meatballs were a perfect starter. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in town.

We had a fantastic dinner at D’Amore’s Ristorante in New Smyrna Beach, and I can’t recommend it enough. The warm, cozy atmosphere and charming décor set the tone for a memorable evening. We started with fresh-baked bread and house-made pesto that was absolutely delicious. For our entrées, the crepe lasagna was rich and perfectly balanced, the ravioli Bolognese was the best we’ve ever tasted, and the chicken parmesan was crispy and served piping hot. The portions were generous, and everything tasted homemade. Our server was friendly and attentive without making us feel rushed, and the chef even stopped by our table to check in, which added a wonderful personal touch. The wine list paired beautifully with the meal, and the desserts—especially the amaretto almond cheesecake and tiramisu—were phenomenal. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just craving authentic Italian comfort food, this place is a gem. We can’t wait to return!

The food was excellent! The service was friendly and efficient. My wife and I felt like we were in a small European beach town at a quaint restaurant. We will definitely be back soon as we're already craving the meatballs, lasagna and pesto again! And, they had great wine too!

Ashley is the best!

In our opinion, this is one of the best Italian restaurants anywhere. All our food was amazing. Scratch kitchen, family recipes and authentic. Great vibe. Enjoyed meeting the Chef/Owner to extend our compliments in person. Our server Ashley was outstanding. Can’t wait to return for another wonderful experience!

This place easily takes first place for my all time favorite restaurant. The food is amazing no matter what i get and I’m a picky eater. The service is incredible. Everyone working there has the perfect amount of humor and so kind to anyone and everyone. The atmosphere is perfect and looking around you can see how hard they worked perfecting every detail about it. The color choices, the seating, the lights, the cork roof, everything is so pleasing.
