We had a wonderful dinner - I ordered from the Portuguese menu & my husband ordered from the Italian side. Both our meals were delicious. We came to hear Luis who was playing that evening & were very surprised on the great food experience there.

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!

Lovely wait staff. Great music. Excellent food and plentiful. Creative menu. Very good ambience, though semi-lost in a shopping strip. Parking a great improvement over its prior location in downtown Sarasota. They did not rush us. Would go back.

We have enjoyed many times. However tonight disappointed. Obvious price increases not a problem however when my husbands dish was dry and lack in broth the waitress/owner Syed broth is on bottom. And walked away. So when we finished she returned stating are you done we said yes and she then said well I have more broth coming.. we just said no just package it up My Mozambique also dry with white rice ..?? Never had white with it before and also veggies that were shredded in sauce.. had beets.. I’ve had many Mozambique and never was there a beets in it. Very disappointing. Probably won’t go back.
