“ The food is delicious, and the restaurant is very clean. You just need a bit of luck with the service—the younger staff don’t really pay attention to the tables, but the older lady (maybe the owner) is awesome. ”
“ Where should I begin? Full disclosure, the place we have been ordering from for 20 years was unexpectedly closed for vacation. Everything happens for a reason. Low and behold, I went to Google Reviews. Ironically, I just passed the ... ”
“ Vinnie's food never disappoints. Highly recommend! The food was absolutely spectacular, and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, which made for a nice dining experience, especially compared to the usual hustle and bustle of most restaurants. I only managed to snap one picture of the Chicken Amore , but every course was fantastic, especially the tiramisu! ”
“ The food was excellent and the service was top notch. We arrived not realizing it was an event night and the owner was kind enough to make room for us. The staff was kind and never made us feel rush. I'll definitely be back again. ”
“ Established, authentic, fresh, classic, homemade...you'll love it! ”
“ That's Amore is a spectacular, authentic Italian restaurant. Make sure you get the seafood antipasto as the calamari is the most tender I ever had. Two of us had the Seafood over Linguine, and one of us had the Eggplant Parmigiana. Save room for the cannoli! Vincenzo, the owner, was attentive and charming. We'll be going back! ”
“ Excellent experience great food great service. Atmosphere was pleasant even with a big party next to us. I asked our server what she recommended between chicken parmigiana or shrimp fradiavolo not sure if I spelled it correctly but who cares. She said you can make chicken parm at home so I went for the shrimp. Wow the linguine was cooked perfect and shrimp was as well not overcooked. Their marinara was wonderful with peeled tomatoes and some garlic slices served at perfect temperature. We have never been here before but we will certainly be heading back. A great unexpected I guess experience truly worth the money spent. ”
