    Took my wife and daughter out for dinner before going to see Cirque du Soleil to make it a proper evening out and was very happy with our choice for dinner and the show. Menu had plenty of selections across all courses and the wait staff were very friendly and professional. We were not rushed and were able to enjoy our dinner even though the restaurant was basically packed by the time we left at 6pm as we had reservations for 4:45 on a Saturday. Food was presented well and portions were just right, my wife and daughter had pasta and seafood while I opted for a wood fired pizza which was absolutely delicious. I can see us going back in the future with some friends as there are a number of other dishes I would like to try.

    The food and service was outstanding ! Our server was very sweet and polite! One thing I will note is, on the penne pasta we asked if we can change the tomato sauce to arrabbiata sauce and the server told us no problem, but she didn’t tell us there was going to be a surcharge for the sauce change. It was only $2.50 which wasn’t a big deal to us but some people might have been shocked. Especially since no where on the menu indicate surcharge for changes with pasta sauce.

    Another delicious meal with spinach dip to start. The flavours are strong and surprising. Always nice to get gluten free bread that tastes good. House salad and Greek salad were super fresh, generous portions and perfectly seasoned with the right amount of dressing. Meatballs and linguini were great, as usual. The shrimp and crab pasta with garlic Alfredo sauce is always a guaranteed favourite, especially with gluten free penne. We were in a rush so we didn’t have dessert. Next time! If you’re looking for a great date night place or somewhere to go with friends and family with a good amount of menu favourites, Cafe Amore is the place to choose. It’s especially wonderful if you are someone who cannot eat wheat. Menu is detailed and marked GF as well as Vegan where appropriate. Compliments to the chef and the wonderfully attentive staff.
