We 3 senior citizens placed our orders, the appetizer took a while to get, the waitress did not return for about 40 minutes to say the food was coming, she apologized for the delay and said we could have free deserts to make up for this , 2 were ordered . When we got the bill we were charged for 1 of the deserts.

Amore is the best place to go if you want a good meal, service is great they treat you like your family. You don't leave there feeling unsatisfied but you leave there ready to go to bed because the food is so delicious that it leaves you wanting to more.

Amore is my favorite restaurant. The food is consistently fabulous and I have brought many different friends there. They always comment on the ambience and the ability to actually hear eachother when we catch up on what's happening in our lives. Great service and we had a bottle of Riesling that was wonderful! Will be back many more times!

It was my husband's birthday. He ordered a chicken dish and made it quite clear that he didn't want a lot of "fat/oil" used in its preparation. The server gave it to him and it was DEEP FRIED. My husband who is on a strict diet couldn't eat one piece. When he explained to the server that he was not told it was deep fried the server said, "That's the only way we prepare it." It was replaced with a veggie lasagna that we took home. Please ensure the servers explain the chicken is deep fried. Thanks.

A huge thank you to the entire staff for accommodating us in requesting a seating change. As always, great food and excellent service! Thank you Kendall, Samantha, Claudia, Pasquale, and everyone who works so hard to make Amore such a treasure.

Always an enjoyable experience! Very excited the Short Ribs are back on the menu. The Fall Specials were a nice addition. Andrew our service, as always was exceptional.

The butternut squash pizza was perfectly done and a nice blend of flavors. Panzanella salad was delicious. Amore is consistently good quality and service.

We are regular customers in theater nights. Have never had an issue before. Service was not up to Amore standards last night. Our food took forever to come out. Table next to us arrived later than us yet their food was served 20 minutes before ours. Our server seemed to have forgotten about us and didn't check back regularly if we needed anything. She also had a problem with separate checks. This has never been an issue before. We wound up having to rush to our 7:30 show and this has never happened before. Very disappointing

The food was absolutely amazing, especially considering everything from the vegetables to the honey on one of the appetizers to the flowers on the table were all produced from Wegmans' organic farm. Presentation was lovely. My only criticism was that we felt very rushed. For a 6-course meal, a full two hours would have been more appropriate. We sometimes had new courses arriving before the plates had been cleared from the previous one. IT would have been an even more enjoyable evening if we'd had time to savor each course before being presented with a new one.

We have been coming here since it opened. It was - and I stress the past tense - one of the better Italian bistro-style restaurants in the city. But, it is in a downward spiral at the moment. With the exception of one waiter, most of the staff were young and inexperienced in the context of fine-dining. Service was good, but exceptionally slow. I ordered a pizza (which has been one of their staples for years) and half of it was burned black. By the time the manager got there, my girlfriend was almost done and I had eaten part of the unburned part, but there was no flavor, as if they'd forgotten the spices. To his credit (I guess) the manager took 50% off the pizza price . . . .
Amore' is not set up to advertise $6.00 wine and $1.00 oysters on Wednesday night. Our reservation was at 6:15 and they were waiting on more oysters to be delivered by then. When we ordered them we were told it would be awhile. We asked what that meant and were told 20 minutes. 30 minutes later the server said our oysters were being plated, 30 minutes later they actually arrived at our table. This got started off bad when we stood in the lobby area a full 10 minutes before the hostess, who we later learned was the manager ever showed up to seat anyone, even though tables were open. Servers walked by and say three different groups waiting to be seated but that didn't seem to speed anything up. One group at the bar waited so long they cancelled their order and left after telling the manager what an unpleasant experience they had. This is not the Wegman's we know, but Amore' currently has a serious customer service problem. Perhaps its the managers fault, the kitchen, don't know. Our bartender server was great and did everything he could to help the situation. I actually left him a tip upwards of 30%. We had a mushroom pizza while we waited for the oysters, which as very good. So were the oysters, but different. Served with their own vinegar based sauce, no crackers or bread was brought to the table. No seafood forks either, until after the second request by someone other than our server finally brought them. Hard to get oysters out of the shell if they have not been shucked properly (and these were not). Restaurant was quite enough until a couple came in, recognized the couple next to us and stood hoovering over their table in loud conversation for way too long. This was not the restaurants fault. People should know this is rude, especially more senor people as the hoovering couple was. We finally asked them if they could be quieter, and they were for about 30 seconds until someone told another laughter roaring story. Wegman's is better than this!!

Another outstanding dining experience at Amore. My spouse wanted the $1 oyster special, and was very happy with her order. We also had the calamari (always outstanding here), the new pizza special, and the Heavenly Lasagna. We would order them all again! Dessert was the White Chocolate Almond Torte—new for us, and excellent! Service was friendly and prompt, even though the place was super busy!

Very disappointed with service and food tonight. Cheese board appetizer did not come with any crackers or bread. Had to ask for bread twice. Oysters were not properly prepared. Foot was still attached to every shell. Asked for Tobasco and never got it. We were there for over 2 hours. Slowest service I've ever seen at Amore. And the phone went unanswered. Just kept ringing.

Long timers, we have been enjoying Amore since the week it opened, and have particularly enjoyed dining in the bar area at the high-tops during happy hour, which had nice food and drink specials. They kept cutting back on happy hour offerings to the point where it was pathetic, and then last night we were presented with the new happy hour menu which was insulting. They have raised prices throughout the restaurant far out of line with other restaurants and general food inflation, and now they are cutting back on serving sizes for HH items. The new menu shows 8" pizzas ($8 Margherita, $10 pepperoni) which is about half the size of their regular menu pizza, and half the cost! Cheap Wegmans branded wine is now $12 for a glass (I assume 5 oz pour) DURING HH! Still love the food, and the service has been great, but there is certainly no reason to go for happy hour anymore. Oh well!

We had a nice quiet corner on the main floor (I had requested a quiet location) One person in our party is hard of hearing and she mentioned that the low noise level allowed her to hear quite well. The food was good albeit a bit unimanginative. The usual: Chicken Parm, Salmon, Chicken cutlet, Pork, Branzino. I had the branzino which was served over a bed of chopped vegies. It was very good. The chicken parm was the usual-served over pasta. Probably the most interesting of all was the chocolate creme brulee for dessert. It was excellent. Our waitress was pleasant and not overly friendly. We all had different martinis which were perfect. The restaurant decor is very tasteful.
