Amore Ristorante e Pizzeria

We were at Amore for a pre-wedding meal before my daughter was getting married the next day. There was 17 of us, some family and friends. All bar 3 had a starter. All plates were cleared. Then came to the main courses. Many of us had different kinds of pasta dishes. Four had a pizza platter, with orders of side dishes. Everyone tried there very best but even although the food was delicious most of us were unable to finish our meals. A few asked for doggy bags to take away as they had enjoyed the food so much. We were all so full that no-one was able to have a sweet but must say they looked delicious. A good night was had by everyone, staff were very attentive and brought extra drinks when needed.

Treated my brother/sister in law/husband to a birthday lunch here on 22nd April. We haven't visited for quite a while so was looking forward to our visit. The place was not too busy initially but soon it was filling up with patrons which just goes to show that it is still very popular. The service is always good as there is always plenty of staff. Started with drinks as they always let you have plenty of time to decide over the menu. The starters were varied and different between us, some definitely Italian and some not.. Sticky chicken wings (x4), usual bruschetta pomodoro (toast was burnt), deep fried garlic mushrooms & garlic Mayo (?double breadcrumb coating?), and jalapeño poppers & obligatory garlic mayo (husband said they weren't very spicy at all) which also had so much breadcrumb coating that I initially thought that they were croquettes. The pasta (x2) Del Femio, penne with italian sausage and tomato sauce looked good and plentiful as did the pasta polpette, long spaghetti with meatballs in tomato sauce. The chicken burger with cheese looked out of place in an Italian restaurant and the extremely skinny fries looked soggy to me. My chicken escalope looked good but was dry and tough (? cooked once then reheated) but the penne in tomato sauce was fine and plenty of it. The service during the meal was good but not hovering too much. The dessert was a required treat as we were celebrating a birthday after all but not everyone had one as the portions are generous. A strawberry mess (not Eton), and the Tiramisu (of course) followed, the gentlemen abstained. On the whole I would return as the value, atmosphere and service were good and to try something else from the menu meal wise. The bill was around £114 for 2 pints lager, 2 soft drinks. 4 starters and mains and 2 desserts which was quite reasonable.

Have been a frequent guest for over 6 years and Amore is as delicious as always. Tiramisu is a must try, everything is great and really like the atmosphere.

Can I give 6 stars? We had booked in advance several tables to celebrate our family event with our friends and fmaily. Everything was prepared when we arrived, food and drinks were very delicious (as always), service is above and beyond, the team is very friendly and helpful. We loved every minute being there. All guests said they were very happy with their dishes (they selected whatever they fancied)! Prices are very fair! I love this restaurant very much and will be back for sure.

The food was absolutely lovely, best Italian I've had in a while. The service was spot on, with staff checking in on us quite often. The speed of service was unbelievable, took about 5 minutes for our starters, and 10 minutes for mains. The only complaint I would have is the noise, it was a bit noisy on the table we were initially seated on but later moved to a quieter location, which was much better. All in all definitely one to try for the food and quality and speed of service.
