    We arrived for an early dinner (4pm) and we weren’t alone for their opening which on a snowy Sunday says a lot about this place… Our fabulous server (I missed her name) very personable blonde with some tattoos was fabulous to chat with and made us feel like we had been regular patrons for years, they were more than accommodating to our families allergies and made our daughters 22nd Birthday meal a fun experience for all. Giant chicken parm/penne, mushroom ravioli, steak and desserts including a great GF variety for my Celiac Spouse were raved about. We have been in the past for dinners here and there prior to my husband’s diagnosis but will become regulars now with the amount of selection and the quality and service.

    My wife and I have not been to Cafe Amore in a number of years but we won't wait so long for our next visit. The menu has a nice variety, the food was excellent and presented well and the service was outstanding. A truly enjoyable experience!

    I will always happily review Cafe Amore. We had an early NYE dinner here with my parents. The restaurant was fully staffed and tastefully decorated for the holidays. I really appreciate that the owners do not change their menu, or force a prix fixe situation on NYE as many similar restaurants might. We had the spinach and artichoke dip which is insanely delicious. We also shared the seafood stuffed mushrooms. I love that they have a pretty good gluten free bun to enjoy with the dip. My only complaint is I wish I didn’t have to share. Our salads were delicious. Garden, Caesar and Greek were plentiful and well dressed. For our main courses we enjoyed the Shrimp and Crab pasta- one with fettuccine and one with GF pasta, the Poseidon pasta in a garlic cream sauce and a linguini with meatballs. Everyone was extremely pleased with their choices. We had no room for dessert, but as always the dessert counter was filled with delicious looking cakes, some gluten free as well. Our server was attentive and very good at her job. She didn’t try to rush us out at all. I love that Cafe Amore has so many gluten free options clearly labeled on their menu, which means I know I have safe choices I can make and I don’t have to ask the server who then has to ask the kitchen, which always makes me nervous. I have been here for NYE countless times in the last 10 years. I look forward to many more.
