Our server was friendly, the restaurant was cozy and kinda of fancy, yet casual at the same time and the pasta was fresh & delicious! My friend and I visited on a Tuesday night around 5pm. There was one table seated when we arrived and two more that arrived while we were dining. We both opted for the create your own pasta and neither of us were disappointed. I ordered the buccatini with arribiata sauce, spinach, mushrooms, onions, a grilled chicken breast and fresh shaved parmesan & grated romano. My friend got gemeli with Alfredo, garlic, chicken cutlet and fresh shaved parmesan & grated romano. While we waited for our pasta delicious, warm focaccia was brought out with sauce for dipping. It had just the right amount of olive oil, salt and rosemary on it. When our pasta arrived it was hot and cooked perfectly al dente. The arribiata sauce could have had more kick to it... the waiter warned me it was spicy, but it was just mildly spicy to me and I added crushed red pepper. I thought the price of $17 was decent for the portion size and being fresh pasta (rather than dried) and with a protein. The price was $14 without adding a protein.

This is an Italian-American restaurant, and not an Italian restaurant. I say that to specify that they have HUGE meatballs, which is something which is more popular here than in Italy. I'm not personally fond of large meatballs, as I prefer more seared meat to internal meat. That being said, I did like the pasta and the sauce. We did take out, so I can't rate the dine in experience.

Update to my review from 4 months ago- they did not ever refund me for forgetting the chicken in my shrimp scampi.

Tried Amano Pasta and was really impressed. I ordered the build your own pasta and the creamy pesto sauce was fantastic. It was rich, flavorful, and not overpowering at all. The pasta is made fresh in house and the portions were filling with high quality ingredients. Pricing felt pretty reasonable with dishes starting at $14, and all of the staff were great. The focaccia they give you is delicious as well and pairs perfectly with the dip they provide and the pasta. Great spot for fresh, comforting pasta and I would definitely come back again.

I've driven by this restaurant a lot and never had the chance to try it out until now! First off, the choices can be overwhelming but the man at the counter was nice and helpful and gave us some great suggestions. I opted for the large which was around $22 but the portion was very large. I loooove pesto so I picked that with mushroom, eggplant, and basil. The protein was an additional $4. Overall, pretty good and a fun concept. However, I thought my pasta was a little bland and too oily for my liking.

This was a spur of the moment date night and we decided to finally check this spot out. The idea of creating your own pasta dish with fresh ingredients is such a cool concept. It was a little overwhelming to try to decide what I wanted, so I ended up going with old reliable, broccoli alfredo with grilled chicken. The food was phenomenal. I thought I would want to share some of it with my date but ended up eating it all. My date ended up ordering the shrimp scampi which was my next choice and that looked really good too. Everything tasted fresh and homemade giving this a great experience. The service here was so quick and organized too. They have a couple of people cooking, while one person is running food and taking orders. The restaurant itself was super cozy and had that classic italian dinner vibe. Even though it was freezing outside, the space stayed warm even with people coming in and out the door. We will definitely be back for more here soon!

A'mano Fresh Pasta - A Hidden Gem Worth the Trip! We stopped at A'mano Fresh Pasta during a road trip for a Buffalo Bills game, and it ended up being one of the best decisions of the whole weekend. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind -- the kind of hospitality that instantly makes you feel at home. I ordered the pappardelle with mushrooms and vegetarian chicken, and I can honestly say it was the best pasta I have ever eaten. So fresh, perfectly prepared, and clearly made with love. The vegetarian chicken was also the best I've ever had -- flavorful, tender, and absolutely amazing. My husband had the spaghetti and meatballs, and he was just as impressed. We also have to talk about the focaccia -- unbelievably soft, delicious, and the perfect start to an incredible meal. A'mano is truly a hidden gem. If you're anywhere near the area (or heading to a Bills game like we were), do yourself a favor and stop in. Exceptional food, wonderful people, and an experience we can't wait to repeat

This review is from my dining experience on New Years Eve 2024. A'mano offers a five star Italian experience, in a laid back cozy inviting setting. The jazz music in the background sets the tone, and watching your food prepared fresh is well worth the wait time. The service was perfect, despite going in later on a holiday. Decent size regular portion, if your sharing though for two I would recommend the larger portion. Its a bit pricey, but for quality its definitely worth it for a create your own Italian dish. As a bonus, if you join their rewards program, on your birthday you will receive a coupon for $ 5 off. My friend had told me about this, so I'm passing along the little bit of savings. Manga!!

I had a five star experience at A'mano, but that's from a non-food perspective. A'mano is a lovely restaurant. Thanks to the pleasantly decorated interior and very good service (no waiting staff), it can be a great place to catch up with friends. The atmosphere is casual and laid back. I really liked the jazzy music in the background, it was very relaxing. We ordered lunch specials, a small pasta, salad or dessert and beverage. Choosing from the signature pasta menu was easy. There are two side salad options. I went for Caesar and forgot to ask for the dressing on the side. No worries. All dressings are Ken's brand packets. This seemed strange, especially since they are proud of their homemade pasta. Not sure about sauces. My 'Creamy Black Truffle with Mushrooms and Pappardelle' was cooked perfectly al dente, but was drenched in too much heavy sauce and covered in a massive amount of shredded Parmesan cheese. I would prefer that the pasta be the star of the show. Similarly, the salad also definitely had too much cheese. It was a Parmesan overdose. Focaccia was just fine, nothing special. Give them a try if you're in the area. We decided to stay there only because the wait for a table at the restaurant we wanted to visit was too long. However, in the end we had a good time.

Tonight was my first visit to A'mano Fresh Pasta. Walking in, the restaurant is nicely decorated and features a "fast casual" ordering model. It was a little tough to see the tiny menu on the glass so I ended up pulling it up on my phone (I think they said they were remodeling but it would be helpful to have menus available to ease the ordering process). I ordered the bolognese and my husband built his own pasta. I also ordered a wine spritzer. The service was prompt and I really enjoyed the fact that the pasta was hot when it came out. I really enjoyed my dish and I could tell the ingredients were fresh and the pasta was handmade. Despite the fast casual model, staff came and checked how our meal was. Overall I really enjoyed my meal here and want to come back to try a different pasta dish!

We had an exceptional experience here, and as a gluten-free person I was so happy to find house-made gemelli gluten-free pasta. I would say if you are going for the gluten-free pasta, call ahead or order online to ensure that they have it, since it is made in-house they only make so much - I was lucky enough to get the last portion tonight. My friends had a variety of dishes from appetizers to pasta plates and salads, and everyone loved everything. I had their butternut soup special and I've never tasted anything like it, a complementary dab of pepper oil and other enhancements made it stand out above all other squash soups that I've had before. They make everything here from scratch except one of the desserts. They do a really great takeout game for those nights that You just want to eat delicious Italian food at home without buying specialty ingredients and putting in the work. It's very simple but nice inside, clean and bright with a good view of the kitchen. Chef Phil was milling around and chatted for a while and you can tell how passionate he is about food. We will be back.

We went around 5:30 on a Friday. The person worker was very helpful in explaining the process and with recommendations. I got the Creamy Mushroom Black Truffle which was absolutely amazing. There were numerous mushrooms which were obviously fresh. The sauce was nice and creamy. The person I was with got a creat your own with Vodka sauce with spinach and sausage. They absolutely loved it as well, also creamy. We sat outside on the patio which was very nice and would recommend if the weather is nice. The food is brought out to you, it took maybe 5 to 10 minutes to recieve. There is no parking lot, but there is free 2 hour parking right along the street in front of the business. Would 100% recommend coming here as it was delicious and fast.

Do not skip over this place! The pasta was so good and fresh! Loved their premade combos and the ability to make your own! We got a buffalo Mac and cheese and some Alfredo. We got them to go but couldn't help taking a few bites before we left. Very cute inside and love the counter order style with plenty of relaxed seating for groups and pairs. Definitely coming back to try all the different combos!
