Amore Italian Ristorante & Bar

food was awesome! service was even better .. huge should out to our waitress Londa! stopped in to celebrate my daughters engagement 💍 and experienced the best service from this young lady we have ever had! she is a gem!!!

Great food, great service! Definitely going back!!

Did research online and saw mixed reviews, but the most current ones were very positive. Ordered lasagna, was not good. Family got baked ziti, and the same disappointment. The location is an old Victorian home, but the place felt dingy inside and not quiet clean. The restroom validated the concern. Was unfortunate, and wondering if health code is A.

Some of the best authentic food we've ever tasted. Great ambiance sitting in the rooms of an old house. Can't wait to visit again. Server asked if we had a pen we could sign with...

Picture it-Meridian, 2024. You can go pay for overpriced, microwaved calories at a powerful chain establishment if that’s your preference. Or you can type “Amore Italian Ristorante & Bar” into your navigation and go have powerful and REAL cuisine at the same if not less cost! I never leave here disappointed, and I’m happy my money is intelligently invested here, in the right place! So, treat yourself to an evening of professional and classic hospitality with dishes that are no doubt prepared with tradition and Love!

My husband is here working at the TVA plant and I came to visit I was looking for a great place to eat that had really good reviews this place does after working 12 hours and no home cooked meals you wanna eat some good food every now and then and not a burger so I pick this place and we were excited bout getting some good food after working a long day.. Our food was delivered to us a mess not the Amore fault at all it was Door dashed big mistake with a meal like this.. so we clean up the mess from the delivery and open our food we ordered meatballs there was none sause for our bread there was none my husband ordered the trio and got these 3 small noodles stuffed with cheese and another stuffed with something green.. He never got what he ordered and I only got half of what I ordered.. it's very disappointing when your order a 30 dollar plate and you don't get it and spent Lil over 60 for 2 ppl to eat take out..

The food was delicious, bread was the best.

Beautiful old building, professional and friendly staff. Best bed rolls I’ve ever had, and they come before you’ve even ordered your dinner!

I came here with such high expectations after reading all of these amazing reviews just to leave extremely upset and disappointed. We walked in and the hostess was very kind and seated us right away. However, our waitress took forever to take our order for our drinks, and we waited even longer for her to even bring us two waters. Then, we sat there unattended for probably 15-20 minutes until we had to ask the hostess to tell our waitress we were ready to order. Keep in mind there was only maybe two other tables with people dining in at this time. There was one table across the restaurant that had maybe 5-7 people and that wasn’t even our waitress’ table but all of the workers, including our waitress, were gathered around them and not paying the other two tables any attention. Because of this we had to ask the hostess for refills more than once as well. When our food finally came out, it looked amazing and we were starving. But we were quickly disappointed. It had almost no flavor and my mom’s dish was cold. We ate what we could and then decided to order dessert, because surely they couldn’t mess that up and we didn’t want to leave this restaurant without at least eating something hopefully palatable. We were once again very underwhelmed. The portions for the tiramisu and the chocolate cake were huge but they were basically flavorless. After waiting probably 20 minutes after we were done eating, we had to tell the hostess we were ready for our check because our waitress never came to check on us.
Even worse, as we were leaving the restaurant, we soon realized why we had waited so long because we saw all of the waitresses and some of the cooks sitting out back taking a smoke break. Overall, extremely disappointing and will not be back.

What a delightful restaurant, to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon. We dined on the spacious front porch, enjoying the cool breeze. I had a shrimp dish, w lots of fat, juicy shrimp, mushrooms, spinach, and warm, creamy Alfredo throughout! We also had a combo of chicken parm, and lasagna w noodles. Very fresh and tasty. While waiting for this delicious meal, enjoyed huge, fluffy buttered and seasoned rolls! To finish, tiramsu and cannoli, which was also very fresh and scrumptious! ( Hard to find cannoli around these parts!) The service was good and we were checked on often. Only negative was a sharing charge. We like to share entrees, and order additional items, like salads, apps, etc so we did not share at this restaurant.

I loved the ambiance outside and I had a good server. The eggplant parmesan is awesome. I loved the bread as well. I'll be back.

This restaurant is so cute. The waitstaff was amazing and so patient with us and our younger kids. The portion sizes were just right and so delicious! I wish I could have taken a whole pan of the tiramisu home with me.
