    Authentic and fabulous with amazing atmosphere and service! How people go to bar Italia instead of here is beyond my comprehension. Please, come and give this magnificent place a try. You will not be disappointed by the quality of the food the service, the drinks and the wine list.

    I brought my in-laws last night to Amore and it proved to be the highlight of their visit to Sarasota,! They had Caesar salad in tasty edible baskets and then a pasta dish with lobster. I had excellent ravioli, and we topped off the meal with espresso and tiramisu. For all three of us, the most enjoyable part of the evening was listening to Eddie Tobin play the piano, sing, and tell stories. Plan a visit to Amore and you’ll have a fun evening also!

    Excellent. We were greeted as if we were family and treated that way throughout our time there. The food is always delicious. Served hot and portion perfect. We were surprised with a very tasty after dinner treat. We enjoyed all the folks who work there. They really make the night fun. Reminds me very much of being at grandmas back in the day…. Can’t wait to go back.
