AMORE RISTORANTE ITALIANO
Reviews
Fantastic. The best Italian food I've had in Birmingham. Yes the entrees are a bit pricey, but the plates are huge, the accompanying salad and bread are abundant and delicious, and the atmosphere is excellent. Well worth the price. Just make sure you make a reservation, because the restaurant is very small. I highly recommend Amore and I will be back for sure! I also recommend you get the cannoli for dessert!
I went to the restaurant on the recommendation of a friend. Get a reservation because it is a small place.Everything we had was as good or better than anything I've had at Botega and once I was inside it reminded me of an Italian restaurant in Boston's North End. What really made it great was how the husband and wife team of owners made us feel after an unfortunate accident. A lady at the next table bumped into our table and knocked a glass of wine on my fiance. The owner was more than gracious. She gave my fiance a sweater she had bought that very day for her to wear while she soaked the shirt she had been wearing to keep it from staining. She told her she could keep the sweater if she wanted, but obviously we couldn't do that. Our meal was comped and they didn't even want us to leave a tip. Something I couldn't do. I will definitely be going back and will tell everyone who will listen about this great mom and pop Italian restaurant with extraordinary customer service!
Who would have thought that a strip-mall restaurant could do such a superb job of presenting authentic Italian food? And I should know...I was born in Italy. Expensive yes. Cramped yes. But what a marvelous, intimate environment. For a while, I felt as if I was in Italy. Tutto es delizioso.
My husband loves Italian food but I am not. One of my closest friends invited us to have dinner with her and meet her friend who is the manager of this restaurant and so I have to go and try it. I was at my biggest surprise. The ambiance was very nice, it is a small place for special people who loves to have a quiet and romantic dinner. The appetizers we tried like the shrimp and the crab cakes were excellent. The wine was great as I specifically wanted no bitter wine and Lorenzo gave me the right choice, which I appreciate very much. Our main course were excellent. I had Chicken and my husband had sausage. My friend Helen had fish and they were all excellent. The service was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend this to all my friends.
I liked it so much I bought the place
