I have never written a review on here before but this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had.We made the reservation for 12 of us for brunch to celebrate my birthday with people I haven't seen in months. We were told we would have to make two separate reservations of 6 and request to be seated together. That was totally fine and not the first time we have had to do that before.We get to the restaurant where only 4 of the 20 or so tables were being used, two of which were my groups. They placed us in two separate booths with our backs facing each other. Immediately I asked if there was anyway we could move to the open table next to them or if the other table could move to one of the two open tables on either side of us. The waitress said we couldn't because there were other reservations for 10am and 10:30am (mind you it was 10:15am by then). And guess what? No reservations came. Not only that but the only table that was being used near us MOVED TABLES so they would be able to accommodate their larger grouper with the high tops. So now there were literally four other tables where we could have sat next to each other, but weren't allowed. I tried to include the video of us awkwardly sitting back to back with all of the empty tables but this website doesn't allow videos.It was honestly infuriating and ruined our entire experience. We barely got to see a whole half of our party despite spending good money on some subpar food and a rude waitress. Thankfully the other table had a better waitress but we were all disappointed at the end of it so it really didn't matter. Thanks for ruining a birthday and spoiling the very few times we are able to get together as friends

This is more of an Italian-American place, so I would not recommend pasta here unless you want to have essentially an upscale version of Olive Garden. But many people are happy with that and the rooftop deck is gorgeous. I had a great cheeseburger and glass of wine and enjoyed myself. Service is friendly and helpful.

I went here with my friends. First of all, I loved all the items I have tried - pasta, chicken, lasagne. There is a bar also. Love the indoor sitting vibe as well. Starters are really great too. The price is on little higher side but It is not too high for the quality of food I received. The service was also great. Will definitely visit again to try the food. Just for the food.

Really great service, awesome Italian food and the only halal Italian place in the twin cities area.I've been here multiple times with family and friends, groups large and small and never been disappointed! Service and flexibility is always top notch!The vibe of their deck is great, and in the winters the in door seating is just as good.Food is of course, great otherwise why would you eat at a restaurant if not for their great food.Highly recommend!

This place couldn't be more appropriately named... You'll fall in love with all there is to offer at the finest Italian eatery in the uptown area. A few blocks out from beautiful Bde Maka Ska, along historic W Lake St., you're immediately greeted by the classic charm of Amore. Two stories, including rooftop dining and eloquent interior dining. The menu is modest, while featuring plenty of authentic offerings with flavor that doesn't disappoint. The staff is friendly and helpful which makes for a very inviting dinner. Perfect for date night!

Quiet rooftop with ample seating and no wait! Perfect for a summer date night. Food was excellent and flavorful.

Although the food at Amore is good, the service is the complete opposite. I have been there twice and experienced less than desirable service both times. In my most recent visit, I was there for a friends birthday and we experienced wrong orders, lengthy waiting times, and inability to accommodate our party at one table. To start, the waitress specifically mentioned we would get "excellent service"... Then the girl who's birthday it was requested no cheese on her dish (lactose intolerant) and after a hour and a half of waiting for our food, it came with an abundance of cheese. The waitress did not discount or compensate my friend for her meal. In addition, when trying to get the bill as we had been there 2+ hours already we could not get the waitress to bring our bill and she went to other tables who had been seated after ours. Upon handing back the bills, she read my name wrong which is a small annoyance but also my name (Alexandra) is on the card. Needless to say, I will not be recommending Amore to friends and family and will not be returning for an extended time period.

Jen was absolutely phenomenal, thank you so much for your hospitality! The food was scrumptious - can’t wait to be back. *chefs kiss*

Delicious food (Pasta Milan in photo), decent rooftop - however there are maybe 10 tables overlooking the street (they were unable to provide us those seats due to a "grad party"). The floorboards are questionable (i.e. weight endurance) and the umbrellas were ready to fly/fall any second.
Ravioli di pesto was delicious & perfectly portioned. I also had the La mela cocktail and we shared the cheesy garlic bread. Wonderful experience.

Staff were very friendly. Food was pretty good. Just FYI, I was told to pasta was fresh made. It is very much not fresh made. It is dry noodles from a box. Still good food. Just not frash pasta.
