Third time at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The food and service are always impecable with fresh ingredients and great flavors. The owner greets us at the table and engaged in a pleasant conversation. Very reasonable priced for the quality, added by the fact that it is BYOB. Highly recommended.

This was our first visit since they reopened under the Amore name. Great to see familiar surroundings and menu. The food was great, as always and the service was very hands on. Owner, Ken, makes it a point to walk around table to table talking with diners. We will certainly be returning soon.

The food is so delicious 😋 I love the stuffed artichoke. The meatballs are big and delicious. For dessert you have to get the ice box cake it really brings back memories of growing up to me. Just a little expensive.
