Nice neighborhood Italian restaurant with excellent service, a great menu and fun Italian cocktails. I loved my Spritz with... Lambrusco and grapefruit. Had a hard time choosing between pasta, pizza or entree but was happy with my choice to order chickenmarsala. Loved that it was served with veggies. Read more
07/17/2022: This is a great find (thanks Mark & Tiff)! It's a little neighborhood restaurant in a great area that has beautiful... views of downtown Seattle. The owners and the staff are welcoming and very personable, and we enjoyed them a lot. The food wasphenomenal! We started with drinks - the Garibaldi, a Classic Negroni, and the Boulevardier. We ordered the Amore Special pizza,the Amore Salad, and the Guy's-pachio. Every dish tasted so good! Our entrees were the Dungeness crab parpadelle, the BucatiniCarbonara, and the Meatball Stracci. Each pasta dish was absolutely delicious... best pastas I've every had! For dessert, we hadthe cannolis, chocolate ganache, and the affogato. Again, delicious!!! If you're ever in Seattle, look for this gem! It willnot disappoint. Let Guy and David take care of you and you will be taken on a wonderful Italian food-venture! Read more
My husband and I went here on our anniversary weekend trip. We were going to a show in the neighborhood, and decided to stop in... for dinner. By far, the BEST Italian food I have ever had!! We ordered the bread and butter ???? so delicious!! We had thefettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The chicken was so incredibly juicy and the sauce was flavorful without being bland. The ownerwas incredibly friendly. He was personable and interactive, and let’s not forget fashionable ???? we were blown away by hishospitality. I definitely recommend this restaurant. Read more
Came to see my son at the Naval base of kitsap walked around Seattle downtown and could not get a reservation which intern we... saw this place outside of town which was fabulous highly recommended from other reviews. First of all great views of theskyline of Seattle from this restaurant. The gentleman that sat us which I believe is the manager was very Accommodating , andjust a good dude. We had the bruschetta and the risotto cakes for appetizers which were yummy. I had a special with Dungenesscrab pasta which was really good and fresh everybody enjoyed their dinner plates and more importantly Gabi our waitress is aclass act and outside the food would be the reason why I would want to go back and venture out to this joyful restaurant for herwelcomeness. Wish we could see her smile without these masks ????. Bon appétit and enjoy. Read more
Opening with a statement: I think we missed the heyday of this place, or we came on an off night. I've been wanting to try this... place since we discovered it several months ago, with the wild boar ragu being quite appealing on their menu, so made a 5 PMSunday evening reservation for our 10th wedding anniversary. Temperature check and vax card check was appreciated. Cute place,with a nice view of the downtown Seattle skyline. Noise level towards the end of our meal got to a point where conversation withmy wife was frequently punctuated with "WHAT"; not a good date night destination. I've never been to an Italian restaurant thatdidn't provide bread, thought that was quite odd, given the number of positive reviews regarding the bread. Seattle foodwaste/compost laws? Rundown of the dishes: Salumi plate: Interesting mix, but not much of a theme beyond "Italian things on aplate". Waitress didn't provide a rundown of what we were offered, but was a fine journey by ourselves. Steak florentine: Thewild boar ragu listed on the menu is what pulled me in, however the steak florentine listed on the specials sheet seemedappealing. The steak was everything you don't want a steak to be: thin, tough, and gray inside and out despite asking for mediumrare. Steak had very little color on the outside, yet was cooked through, that's just how thin it was. Chicken marsala:Surprisingly good, relative to my steak. Great flavor with the sauce and just enough savory flavor from the mushrooms withoutbeing boring. Portion size was correct. Limoncello cheesecake: a light and delicately-flavored cheesecake ruined by theharshness of the strawberry/rhubarb compote. I'd get that compote on the side and just put the smallest dabs, if any at all, onevery bite. Tiramisu: Hands down, the best tiramisu I've had in Seattle yet. The issues with a lot of tiramisu is that they'rejust too "wet", this one was fantastically moist without being too wet. We'll probably give it another try in Read more
Very casual place. We were (literally) sitting on the curb opposite the front door of the restaurant. The sidewalk was between... us and the row of tables outside the front door. I liked that ambiance, especially after the streak of hot days. Their winemenu had decent local vintages and a couple of lesser known Italian ones. The specials menu looked well-constructed, as is theregular menu. I loved their homemade egg pastas, and their rye bread is silky and soft. The wild boar ragu was a pretty richragù with four mushrooms and tasted like they had added a little meat during the long cooking and then a bit of shredded meatto bulk it up for a thicker consistency. It was pretty good, but a bit drier in flavor than a typical ragu. They must have usedleaner meat. My husband ordered the classic Chicken Marsala and praised it as better than most he has had in a long time. Theirportions were not overly generous, but just right. We finished with limoncello cheesecake, which I cannot recommend more. Ithink the one addition that they can have on their menu—especially in one of Seattle’s central neighborhoods—is a good,solid vegan option. For the style that their kitchen seems to cook with, I would think a white wine mushroom risotto withshallots, romanesco and a bitter green, like escarole or arugula, would fit the bill. Seriously, with the volume of nutty, flakyfruitiness here in Seattle, an actual vegan entree—not just an entree made vegan with vegan substitutes—should be arequirement. My vegan friend was not all that impressed, even as we were slurping down our dinner with gusto. His meal was rifewith red chili flakes, which I have found to be a big no-no with most lifelong vegans I know, and probably was closer to a stirfry than an Italian dish. (Oh well. Next time maybe.) I’d go back. Definitely. And I wouldn’t feel awkward bringing friendsfrom Italy with me for some darn good new American Italian cuisine. Read more
My sister and I came from Vancouver, BC for the day to celebrate her birthday and we wanted to find the perfect, cozy place to... have dinner and finish off the day. That's Amore was PERFECT, with the most welcoming atmosphere (our server Lisa was such asweetheart and warmly took care of all of our requests), nice ambient lighting, a gorgeous view of the city, and food thatcompletely blew us away! Even the bread & butter was a homerun! We definitely will be returning. Thank you folks for theexcellent time and the wonderful meal. We felt very at-ease and content when we left :) Read more
