    My husband and I had dinner last night at Amore. The restaurant is pretty and the service was very good. The Valentine's Day set menu for $110/person was limited and not appealing. Whoever heard of salmon wrapped in prosciutto? However, the lemon cake dessert was outstanding. There were four courses - appetizer, pasta, entree, and dessert. The pasta offering was limited and the portion size was as large as an entree. We could not finish our pasta or our entree courses. This was our first time trying Amore. Our friends love it. We will try again on a regular evening and not a holiday with a set menu.

    This place is amazing and don’t hold it against them if the reservation isn’t right on time, they stay so busy. The food quality and service are phenomenal. Well worth any wait.

    The food was fine but the service was not. There were very few people in the restaurant, but we eventually had to wave our arms to get any attention.

    As every time I've visited Amore, everything was delightful. This time, I asked our waiter for a suggestion, and I ordered something I hadn't yet tried. Wonderful! Thanks so much.

    Something was off with the truffle pasta last night and we did not enjoy it. We waited an hour to be seated even with a reservation
