My husband discovered Amore while out jogging and decided to make a reservation, and we're so glad he did. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by two hosts who were both very pleasant. We were seated immediately and accommodated our request to sit near the bar. The ambiance is absolutely striking. While chic and polished, the interior also gives off elegant Caesars Palace-inspired design vibes--grand, dramatic, and visually captivating. The bar setup is truly breathtaking and instantly draws you in, making it a perfect spot for a date night or celebratory evening. Our server, Dawn, truly made the night exceptional. She was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, and her recommendations were spot-on. We ordered the lasagna and the salmon with potatoes and spinach--both dishes were beautifully seasoned and full of flavor. The drinks were just as impressive. We enjoyed Uncle Nearest Nearest (which came with an ice cube stamped with an "A"--such a great attention to detail), a Luxy Lady, and prosecco--everything was a hit. I've seen a few comments about portion sizes, but we felt they were perfectly aligned with what you'd expect from an upscale restaurant--satisfying without being overwhelming. The only reason I didn't give a full five stars was due to the manager (or who I assume was the manager). He stood nearby for long periods without engaging with guests--no greeting, no smile--just an uncomfortable, awkward presence that felt a bit like being stared at. Most managers on the floor interact with guests, so this stood out. Aside from that, we had a great experience and will definitely be returning in the future. read more

Amore - gourmet Italian in a fine dining atmosphere Amore is not for everyone. It is expensive and the portion sizes are smaller relative to the entree cost. Slow paced-finer dining is not everyone's cup of tea. However, these are things that I enjoy and I chose to celebrate my birthday at Amore! Amore is located on the renovated Pearl Street. This has been an amazing transformation for those of us that remember the days when Pearl Street wasn't a family friendly destination. You may park free on the street or free in the large parking lot west of the restaurant. Making reservations is very easy via the website. I would definitely encourage you to make reservations if you want to eat during the prime dinner hours. The host and wait staff are professional and very friendly. The facility is beautifully decorated in a modern decor. The large bar and bottle rack is very attractive. You will find the seating to be very comfortable. The table linen, dishes and glassware complement the whole atmosphere. At least I feel all these things set the foundation for an excellent dining experience. Dining at Amore was about a two hour, relaxed and enjoyable experience. We started the night with the small focaccia bread. The bread comes cut into tall cubes that can be pulled apart and dipped in the Parmesan sauce. The crust is a bit tough with a soft inner breading. It has a classical Italian bread flavor. The olive oil dip has a thick bed of Parmesan at the bottom. Thick enough that you need to use the spoon to apply the delicious mixture to the bread. Definitely a must get!! The small size is perfect for two people. My wife ordered the mushroom ragú campanelle pasta dish. The pasta is made on site into a special "cone" shape. It is perfectly cooked to a firm but tender consistency. The mushrooms tasted very fresh and comprised a thinner sauce. The sauce had a bit of that mushroom-beef taste along with a moderate amount of Romano cheese taste. This dish was topped with an innovative cashew ricotta cheese dollop. The ricotta accented the noodles, mushrooms, Romano sauce nicely with a slight hint of cashews. Excellent dish! I went with the meat lasagna. The homemade noodles were very thin - perhaps 1/2 the thickness of a normal lasagna noodle. This made the dish lighter and moist. The noodles were perfectly cooked and layered with a bed of beef, pork and cheese. The mixture, while prominent, didn't over power the noodles. The lasagna was surrounded by a moat of white wine crème sauce. I was a little skeptical of this as it isn't usual. The white sauce was very smooth with a moderately thick consistency. It adds more moisture to the baked noodles and pulled out the meat and cheese mixture tastes. Another outstanding dish! Amore made the birthday dinner special with a complimentary personalized birthday card and chocolate lava cake. The card was individually signed by many members of the team - never seen that in my years of dinning out! The lava cake is not to be out done! The cake was firm on the outside but moist and warm on the inside. The cake had a rich chocolate taste. It came with a lava sauce baked inside and a container of extra sauce to pour over the top. That sauce had a more mild chocolate taste but still delicious. It also came with a small cup of olive oil gelato creme. That was light and thin such that it flowed over the inviting cake. The gelato provided an ice creme appeal without piling on more sugar or dairy. We definitely recommend the lava cake!! Overall, Amore met exceeded my birthday expectations. The food was creative and delicious! The team made us feel welcomed and served us professionally and well. The atmosphere helps make your two hour dining experience enjoyable. read more

Before I say anything else, I want to say that the customer service was impeccable!! Our server could not have been better. She was a delight. Okay... on with the rest. When I saw the rating for this restaurant, I thought maybe people were just being a bit harsh. Unfortunately, they weren't. There were 6 of us at our table. All but 2 of us, got different dishes. The orders of lasagna, focaccia, and the Cacio e pepe were EXTREMELY small portions! The portions of lasagna were comically small! Well, it would have been funny if it wasn't for the price. I got the mushroom ragu campanelle. I was so excited about it. It was just fine. There isn't really a "sauce". So it was pretty dry. The person at our table who ordered the mussels, said they were the smallest mussels they have ever seen. None of us have a desire to go have. I would go as far as to say that I prefer Olive Garden over this place. Everything was just okay. The restaurant itself is BEAUTIFUL!! read more

Our second trip, the food was amazing both trips and the service was much improved this trip! We are glad we went back. The space is beautifully done. The braised beef is so very tender, flavorful and delicious! I had it the first visit and my husband ordered it this time. I tried the mushroom ragu this trip and was not disappointed. Do not leave without the getting the affogato, the espresso over sweet gelato is being my favorite. I was too busy eating to take photos of the food. Our friends ordered the salmon and chicken and very much enjoyed their meals. Two of us had leftovers to take home. read more

We found an absolute gem for lunch in Fort Wayne yesterday. We just happened upon it while driving downtown and feel so fortunate to have dined at Amore. It was incredible in every facet of the experience. The atmosphere is wonderful, the service was incredible, the cocktails were outstanding, and the food was out of this world. Amore opened in December of 2024 and I can't believe we hadn't enjoyed it yet, but I assure you, we will many times again in the future. And, if you're like us and haven't come across it yet...make it your next dining out option. You'll be delighted in every moment of the experience as we were! read more

Our second time in was just as awesome as our first visit. Both times service was wonderful- attentive but not obtrusive. Drinks were great. First time in we sampled a variety of appetizers- I enjoyed tasting them all. This time I reordered the braised beef - it was so good the first time I wanted to see if they could replicate. The chef did not disappoint. The polenta was creamy and smooth, the beef tender, moist and delicious. Both pasta dishes ordered at our table were full of flavor. A place we will return to many times. read more

Great food and overall wonderful experience at Amore! This was our first visit and we will be back. Our waiter, Dawn was friendly and gave us wonderful recommendations. We started with small portion of the focaccia bread. It was warm, had a crispy crust and the melted butter and garlic spread was awesome. We shared a Ceasar salad which we both thought was the best we have had in FW. My husband had pasta and I had the braised beef. Both dishes were flavorful and delicious. We finished with the Olive oil and sea salt gelato. It was sweet and salty and the perfect finish to a wonderful meal. We both said this will be one of our favorite places to dine in FW. We can't wait to return. read more

Second visit to Amore last week, with friends who had never been there. Food was okay...a bit disappointing this time, so consistency may be a problem. Atmosphere is still beautiful. Staff and server were kind and friendly. Husband got the rigatoni bolognese pasta, which was $24 and come with no accompaniments. The portion on the plate was extremely small, only 8-12 little rigatonis. Nothing else. My flat iron steak was tough and portions were literally raw. Very unevenly grilled. Friend got the sea bass which she enjoyed but skin was not at all crispy and she had to remove it. Fish was paired with an odd chilled cucumber side, which she did not eat. We had bragged Amore up, but needless to say, it did not at all measure up. We'll likely try it again sometime to see if this second visit (on a Thursday evening) was a fluke. read more

This was our first time back and thanks to Kristen at the bar, we will return! Our first visit was awful and it took us over a year to finally return thanks to the local influencers... Service was on point, a little side chatter from various wait staff that probably wasn't necessary for patrons to hear but Kristen remained dialed in and on her game. Ordered meatballs and focaccia which was delicious. Our entrees were the peppered spaghetti and eggplant parm. Both served hot and tasty. House wine was good price point. While I would never reserve a table, a lovely dinner at the bar is the way to go. Well done Amore and Kristen! read more

This was our first visit to Amore - we'll be going back. First, the service. Our server, Dawn, was very helpful. She made perfect recommendations for our tastes and was very patient with our pace of dining. The pasta was made in-house and was perfectly cooked. We enjoyed the portion size which allowed us to enjoy 4 courses without feeling stuffed (although my wife took 1/2 her entree home). The wine selection was very nice as well. We also enjoyed the atmosphere. It was a Wednesday night and not too busy allowing us to have a conversation without any trouble. If you're looking for upscale Italian that will rival any restaurant, imo, don't hesitate. read more

We had high hopes for Amore Italian Restaurant in Fort Wayne. The menu sounded incredible with so many dishes we were excited to try but once the food arrived, everything fell flat. Each dish was surprisingly bland and lacked any real flavor. The food was mediocre at best, and we even joked that Fazoli's had more taste. It was noon and we were the only customers in the restaurant for lunch which we now understand. On the positive side, our waitress was wonderful and the atmosphere is very nice. Unfortunately, good service and a pleasant dining room couldn't make up for the disappointing food. read more

Amore was really good! I think the restaurant was beautiful and the service was really good! We enjoyed a handful of entrees. The bread was so tasty. It was crispy and soft at the same time. I thought the chicken vesuvio was very tasty. read more

I in no way want to leave a bad review for a new restaurant as it might've just been a bad night. This place is beautiful and the staff is friendly and helpful. We started the night with the garlic and oil fries and the focaccia bread. Both were good as the bread was super fresh and somehow fluffy on the inside yet crispy on the outside. The fries were good but the oil just ended up being hot honey so I didn't understand it being in the plate. As a creamed spinach junkie,I was most likely excited about the spinach fondue listed in the menu. Keep in mind that the steak comes with 2 sides but each side is listed for 10$. The level of disappointment I had when I got my plate I hadn't had in a while lol. The spinach was absolute trash. No cheese flavor and barely any cream smh. My steak was salty for some reason and didn't taste grilled at all. My wife got the rigatoni and because there were plenty of pics of it already I didn't take a pic but it wasn't pic worthy either..this 2yr age cheese was no where to be found and no lie there was like a fancy chef boyardee flavor to it. I did not want to sound mean and maybe we just went on a bad night. They need to expand their menu and because the bar is so beautiful.. add a burger to the menu just because. I'll give it another try but will never order the items we got again. read more

We went last night for the first time which was unusual as we very rarely eat bread or pasta but we heard this was not your average Italian restaurant. We arrived early for our reservation and were promptly seated in the side room, which was lovely with high ceilings, beautiful decor, and a great view of the bar area. Rachel was our server. She helped us choose the best drinks and food for our tastes. I had their Manhattan and my wife had a Prosecco drink. She helped us select amongst the appetizers, tempted get several, we decided to go with the Focaccia and save some room for later. The drinks were perfect. We found the Focaccia to be the best of what bread should be - nice caramelized, brown crust, with a warm steaming center. Seasoned perfectly and matched well with the oil, salt, chili, and parmesan dip. Appetites were now ready for our main dishes - a side cut of lasagna and the Ribeye steak. Who knew we would be asked our preference for a side, corner, or center cut of lasagna? Rachel explained the hand made lasagna noodles crisp up and caramelize on the sides and her recommendation for one of these was spot on. The meat sauce was delicious and complemented by a delicious white wine cream sauce. This was easily the best lasagna we have eaten. The Ribeye was cooked perfectly and delicious. It was complemented well by the crispy fingerling potatoes and seared green beans. All of this was capped by a true highlight of the night recommended by our wonderful waitress, Rachel. She had explained the molten lava cake is made from scratch and required ~ 20 minutes to make. We were so pleased! This came out straight from the oven, hot and steaming, with molten chocolate poured in the soft center of the cake, accompanied by delicious ice cream. The service was incredible from start to finish. She listened well, educated us to what was offered, and helped us choose what we would love. Attentive, polite, not rushed, and joyful. It was truly delightful and we will be back soon! read more

A Disastrous Dining Experience from Start to Finish I want to preface this by saying I've spent 21 years dining in top restaurants across New York, Los Angeles, and beyond. I judge restaurants based on their location and price point, not by Michelin-star standards. When I saw Amore's menu and pricing, I was eager to try it. Unfortunately, from service to food, the experience was appalling. From the start, the setup made no sense--menus were leaned against the table on the banquette, meaning they fell to the floor as soon as we sat down. Who wants to start dinner by reaching under the table or stretching across a long banquette just to grab a menu? This bizarre design choice set the tone for an afternoon of frustration. Service was chaotic. Appetizers arrived midway through our entrées. Servers awkwardly reached over banquettes to serve food, asked guests to hand plates to each other, and generally lacked professionalism. Worse, we witnessed restaurant staff eating fries over the kitchen expo pass--unsanitary and a major red flag. Every dish disappointed. The burrata and beet salad was flavorless. The meatballs (which oddly resembled falafel) were dry, with no fat content. The sauce was equally bland. The hanger steak was completely inedible--tough, low-quality, and lacking the crust and tenderness that should define the cut. It tasted like a food-service product rather than something prepared with care. The shoestring fries were cold and hard on every entrée. The chicken sandwich was unevenly cooked, with some pieces undercooked. Despite the long wait, everything tasted as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp for too long. Upon arrival, I asked the hostess to take my coat since we were a party of five at a banquette. I assumed it would be stored properly. Instead, when I went to retrieve my wallet from what I thought was a coat check, I found my coat turned inside out and balled up on an unattended banquette at the front of the restaurant. It had clearly been left there the entire time. Completely unacceptable. Did I expect Amore to be Osteria Mozza or Osteria Francescana in Modena, rivaling the great Italian restaurants of the world? No, absolutely not. But I did expect a well-executed dining experience. Instead, I got one of the worst meals I've ever had. The biggest red flag? On a Saturday during prime lunch hours (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM), only one other table was occupied. That says everything. Save your money. Amore makes Catablu or Black Canyon (both local recommendations I quite like) feel like Eleven Madison Park or Alinea. (Attaching a picture of the "coat check" so you can see how wonderful the service truly is at Amore.) read more

We were celebrating a birthday. Ordered the salmon and Alfredo type pasta and both were below average. Flavors were plain and the plating was not done well. No bread was served, and we were told the shoe string fries were the best appetizers only to find them very garlicky and not something we would order again. The service was inconsistent and we had to wait a while for drinks even though they were not that busy. read more

This place is such a gem!! What stood out most was how light everything felt--not overly oily like similar dishes often are. We even had room for dessert after having both appetizers and entrees! The fries and focaccia bread were hands down some of the best apps I've had in a long time! We went during the second week it opened and had NO issues. During our visit, Living Local was recording, so we were seated in the private room, which was a nice experience. This space is great for private events, larger groups, business dinners, etc. The staff were so attentive! read more

Ambiance 100%. This was the best part of the recent visit. The staff are nice but not really fine dining or a match to the surroundings. The waitress tried to clear plates before our party was finished with dinner and rushed us even though it was not busy on a Saturday evening or near closing time. A little too chatty. I chalk it up to experience and training. The food was just ok and not really on par with the price. Had an appetizer of pasta which was $22 and a tiny portion and nothing special, just noodles in some butter sauce. My dinner was not memorable for me or my party. Overall I'd wait until they elevate the menu to visit again. The space is beautiful but just not aligned with the service or the food. read more

Kerisa & Belle are amazing servers! Our food last evening was excellent: shaved brussel sprouts salad, focaccia bread & mushroom ragu pasta. The wine and cocktail were nice as well. The one " issue" is the acoustics; although, the staff tries to accommodate as best they can. read more

We are from So. Cal. and recently moved to Fort Wayne. We discovered Amore shortly after it opened. This place is our favorite restaurant in town. The ambience is beautiful - you know you are in a special place when you walk in. The finishes and design take you away to another place - you are no longer in the mid-west as you settle in. We love the high ceilings, the lighting, the bar with its library ladder. It was all very thoughtfully done. The kitchen does an amazing job - food is flavorful as well as plentiful. The olive oil gelato - what? Oh so wonderful. Yes, we love gelato, but the mouth feel of this gelato is over the top! Add an espresso to it and you are transported to Italy. So good. Amore has our vote as best restaurant in town! read more

Immediately upon walking in we were greeted by the hostess. The restaurant was pretty open and we had reservations made. They brought us to our table and the interior design was very beautiful. Everything was very clean. Our server was very friendly and attentive. My friend and his fiancé live in Fort Wayne and had not yet tried Amore. So it was the first time for all of us. I ordered a Caesar salad with the spring mix and I loved it. The dressing was very fresh tasting and did have a strong anchovy taste, but I liked it. My friend's fiancé liked it but my friend did not care for the taste of the dressing. I ordered the triangle penne with the angry sauce and it was good but the sauce was not spicy. The triangle penne is made in house, which is nice. My friend ordered the same and also thought it was not spicy. His fiancé ordered the pepper and cheese pasta and she thought it was very bland- which tends to be the verdict with this dishes. The manager had walked past our table a number of times and had given us some looks but never bothered to stop and ask how the food or service was. We all agreed that we probably wouldn't return back. read more

Food was great. Drinks were great. Service was very disappointing. Took forever for the food to come out. When it finally did, a side was wrong and an entree was wrong as well. Brought out entirely wrong dishes for a party of four. They comped us well, but for the type of restaurant, we really were hoping for better. Won't return unfortunately. read more

Celebrated our daughter's birthday here. Atmosphere is wonderful. Tables are fully set with glasses and silverware upon arrival. Our server, Dawn, was helpful navigating the wine list and the menu. We each started out with a different glass of wine. We ordered the Burrata cheese as an appetizer. Flavor was wonderful, but salad was not quite what we expected as far as portion was concerned. Also tried the caramelized carrot soup. Unusual and good flavor. Not something I would crave but a nice alternative to a salad for a vegetable. My husband ordered lasagna and enjoyed it very much. I split the Braised Beef and the Mushroom Ragu with my daughter. Both were very good, however, the vinegar flavor in the Ragu came through pretty strongly so if you're not a vinegar lover, you might not want to try this dish. Dessert included Tiramisu and Double Chocolate Gelato. Both desserts were delicious! We also enjoyed a glass of port from the dessert menu. A delicious and delightful dinner made perfect by the excellent service of Dawn! Look forward to returning in the future. read more

The restaurant is beautiful inside. We ate dinner as a family of 3. I could see it as a nice date night. The food was good.

Excited to try a new Italian restaurant but it was disappointing. It was a beautiful space and friendly staff, but the food was not impressive. Started with burrata and beets. Very small burrata and the beets were hard, and the presentation plain. The pasta was Cacio and pepper, usually a favorite of mine- it was bland. I needed to add pepper to a dish that's main seasoning was pepper! Next we ordered salmon, requesting medium doneness, it was overcooked and dry- the broccolini was hard and even the baked potato wasn't good. The worst was the creamed spinach side. It was very bitter. We mentioned it to our server who sent over the manager, she checked with the kitchen and they said they were out of spinach and subbed arugula! Desssert was tiramisu and it was wonderful!! Pricing was average and servers were pleasant but the orders took a long time. read more

The food was great and the environment was nice. The service was good and their people made sure they were on top of things.

The best of the food is laughably mediocre. The worst of it is just gross. As authentic as Olive Garden but not as good and double the price. Cocktails were really good and the service was great. The mood is sterile. It's not quaint enough to be charming and it's not opulent enough to be "fancy". If they got a good chef to design a better menu, I bet that would make a huge difference. read more

Been wanting to come here since December. Finally, we did it. We decided to come here for lunch, my husband and I and we were not disappointed. We were greeted very nicely by the host and we decided to eat at the bar. Which is seat yourself. We were greeted immediately as someone got us water and told us that our bartender was stalking and would be down shortly. Soon enough enough Gerrel came down introduced himself did a fist bump gave me a twitch bar not my husband lol. And we ordered our drinks. My husband ordered the Tiratini and it's like and expresso martini but it was Top Notch. I ordered the Luxy Lady for me it was just ok but my husband loved it said it tasted like bubble gum. I don't think it's my thing. We did order the appetizers the meatballs. They came out in a set of five. I forgot to take the picture at first, but I took the rest. They were delicious. There's a little bit of sweetness to them and the meat you can tell is from a farm and we did ask and that's exactly what our server told us. He explained that most things there are homemade including all noodles, but the spaghetti noodles which is imported and all the bread is homemade. They have someone that comes in there like at 6 o'clock in the morning to make all this stuff. Very impressive! My husband had the cheese and pepper pasta, and both of us thought it was really good! I had the rigatoni Bolognese, which was also excellent! We ordered the Focca bread it was super good! Very light very fluffy. The dip was excellent. And then in the end, my husband ordered the chocolate crème brûlée, and it was very good. It's a little too chocolatey for me but he liked it. He did say it wasn't a true crème brûlée, but it was very good. Our service was top-notch. He was very polite very on it and sociable. It was not busy at all. I would definitely recommend this. It does say they do have kids that can come in. I don't know if it's really a place for kids as far as the prices and the food portions. I feel the food portions were adequate. I don't really need to eat a lot and then the prices I thought was adequate for the place. The ambience of it is very upscale. So you do not want show up in your work clothes that if you've been outside or anything like that ... nice pair of jeans will work with a nice shirt. Will be back! read more

Ate dinner here with a party of 6 on Saturday, the dining experience was terrible. First of all the restaurant is beautiful but the claim that it is Italian inspired is a reach. I am 100% Italian and the restaurant is anything but Italian Inspired.....they charge for bread! That is a sin in itself. Their big claim to fame is homemade focaccia bread which took them 45 minutes to bring to the table. Every plate that was served was terrible, 2 salmon overcooked , a skirt steak with capers on it, a filet overcooked and pasta that was like paste in a paste sauce that was bitter. The bill was over $ 400. It took over 2 hours to be served and it was not busy. All of the food mentioned was flavorless. And all of us that are professionals will not be back. read more

Our first time visiting Amore. Easy parking. Beautiful dining room. Attentive staff. Our server was Nate, he was very attentive, knew the menu well and easily made recommendations based upon his personal experience. We were there during the dinner hour on a Tuesday night, only 5-6 parties dined during our 2 hour visit. With an empty restaurant, a party of 4 was seated right next to us. They moved themselves a few minutes later. Our food was good. Portions were good but not amazing. We ordered sorbet and gelato, both were delicious, but they made them as we waited which felt like it took forever. To compensate for the wait, they gave us both at no charge. We felt the cost exceeded the experience. read more

great, unique food, and cocktails! service was great too. Upper scale atmosphere, at middle of the road prices.
