I thought the food here was good. I had the penne Al Forno and my wife had the apple pecan salad. We also got an order of the cheese bread and the tiramisu for dessert. I would definitely eat here again. The service was good and the ambiance was alright. It's a smaller restaurant. read more

Colossal disappointment! Amores was my standard go-to for veal parm. Haven't been there since it was sold to a new owner. Tonight will be my very last time to eat at Amores Italian in Snyder Plaza The decor of all the Mona Lisa's are gone. Instead, the cheapest art glass I've ever seen adorns the walls. The service was actually terrible. My second glass of water finally arrived about 10 minutes after I had finished eating. I ordered a pizza as an appetizer. It was delivered to my table a few minutes after they served the entrees. Hamburger pizza. Next to no flavor. Wasn't greasy but looked and felt wet. My veal parm was so salty, I could not eat it. Like they actually forgot the sequence and salted my food 3 times. Salt is not healthy. The eggplant parm was tough. So ambiance- meh; Service C-; food D at best. Not joking, possibly the worst restaurant dinner I've had. A McD hamburger and fries would have made more sense. Goodbye Amores. And no, I didn't complain to the manager. 3/4 of all the food left on our plates might be a clue and I didn't want the aggravation. My advice. Pick literally any other restaurant, it will be better. read more

Amore Italian Bistro - $70 bill. $50 of it inedible. - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Normally this place is great and friendly. Today, it was neither. I've been a long time customer here and have recommended this place to many people. For starters, the host didnt smile when he attempted to greet us. The margarita I ordered tasted peppery and not good at all. The chicken caprese looked good but was very bland. No seasoning or flavor like usual. My friends side of zucchini was burnt to high heaven. The soft drink i ordered was flat. May be the carbonated filters. No apologies. He seemed in a rush to get us out of there. Here's the funny part. We were the only ones there! Not happy. He didnt care. Apparently, the cook on Sundays is different from the weekdays. The fact he didnt care hurts more than anything. The other guy is way nicer and their cook knows that he is doing. Its hard to screw up a house margarita, but he did it today. read more

Location North Dallas, Highland Park area. Parking Street-spaces marked for restaurant. Atmosphere Cozy Italian restaurant Seating Booths, tables Service Outstanding! Attentive, friendly. Menu Special menu, appetizers, salads, pasta, meats, chicken, lamb. Complimentary toasted bread with fresh butter. The starter salad portions were generous. Caesar salad had fresh Parmesan, lite dressing, yummy croutons. The house salad also very tasty-excellent light vinaigrette. We had the pasta carbonara-huge portion! Very flavorful. The eggplant parmesan came with a pasta marinara side. So many slices of eggplant! Perfect sauce-tomatoey without too much salt. Really good. Desserts were very tempting. Great wine and cocktail selection. They offer wine tastings on occasion. Summary Our daughter suggested a meet up at this historic Italian restaurant and we are so glad she did! What a great restaurant-nice location, easy parking, welcoming atmosphere, tempting menus, outstanding service. We'll be back soon! read more

In Feb of this year Amore catered an event at HPUMC and the food was so, so good. I liked it so much that I tried the restaurant out and have been kicking myself for not eating here sooner. Lunch portions are generous and well priced. Everything is so good and authentic. I love their lasagna. read more

A lifelong favorite of mine. Always consistent and always delicious. A perfect choice for "date night"

Came here tonight for dinner for the first time and it was fantastic. We have been meaning to come here for years! One of my girlfriends raved about it and every time we drove by it was packed. What a perfect Italian neighborhood gem. We already can't wait to go back! From our server to the host, all of the staff were so beyond nice I can't say enough good things. The food was delicious and just such a perfect local spot. We can't wait to become regulars. read more

Amore hosted a special birthday dinner party for us, and they did such a fabulous job! Highly recommend them! Great food and service!

It was graduation weekend and Snider Plaza was packed. We ducked in to Amore and were graciously given seats even though the place was packed. One of my absolute favorite places and once again it shined. Lobster Ravioli, Manicotti and minestrone soup. Exceptional. Service was top notch, ambiance great and the whole experience once again showed why Amore is my go to place for Italian. read more

Amore Italian Bistro - Chicken parm! - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

A cute little Italian "Mom and Pop" restaurant that is a bit of a hole in the wall. Great drinks - I had the frozen bellini. Delicious. Also good limoncello Martinis. I recommend starting with the caprese salad, that consists of 4 slices of tomatoes with basil and mozzarella drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. For main courses, the linguine and clams, manicotti, and lamb chops were very tasty. The service was also great. Approached about drinks when needed, without being too much. I would go back for this hidden gem. read more

Amore is a quiet Bistro with great food, great service, and a warm, even romantic, atmosphere - great for date night!

Manager threatened to make us leave because we had some grapes and orange slices for our 6 YO grandson. While food and wait staff good would never go back because of her. read more

Excellent ambiance, food, and service. Came here with a group of 8 and everything was great.

It has changed hands and not nearly as good. Veal was shoe leather. Bread has changed and salad has changed. Have to find a new Italian restaurant read more

Solid, reliable neighborhood Italian food in a cozy and welcoming environment. I would have given it 4 stars were it not for the absurd opening hours. Amore effectively shuts down at 8 pm, and very unapologetically so. Perhaps this is why it attracts a disproportionate number of guests over the age of 50. I would visit far more frequently if they stayed open later. read more

Amore has been one of my go-to joints where I have been regularly going since the mid-nineties. You might ask...if so, Rickster, why only three stars? To be honest, Amore leans towards being Old School Italian. And for that reason, it's a place that is reliably comfortable and predictable. A place that one can trust from visit to visit. It's not the type of place you would go if you're looking for contenders for a Michelin star or aiming to spot someone on the A-list. Is the food unique and memorable? No, the menu offers classic Italian favorites, pasta specialties, and pizzas...something that one would expect from a favorite neighborhood restaurant. Does the ambience knock your socks off? Let's just say, for me, it's a place that conjures up "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, " that old Billy Joel tune. If you want to snag a table at 7:00 PM, you're likely to find the place full of folks who have been regulars from the neighborhood for decades. Cue up Billy..."We'll get a table near the street. In our old familiar place. You and I, face to face. A bottle of red, a bottle of white..." And the service? It's always prompt...but then again, Amore is a small place with five or six booths, and maybe ten tables. Yep, Amore is one of my favorite places to go over and over and over again and enjoy a four star experience, with three-star food, ambience, and service. And kudos if that makes sense. Billy Joel would be proud. read more

My family has been going to Amore for 20 years. Sometimes we eat there, most times we do pick up and eat at home. We did pick up tonight and when we got home, the order was all wrong. I called Amore thinking they would make good on the wrong order, but the manager was extremely difficult to deal with. He would not own up to the mistakes and make good on the bad order. It was a bad enough experience that we are terminating our relationship with Amore and moving to another Italian restaurant. The "family feel" of this restaurant has deteriorated over the last several years. We are out! read more

Love this place I usually get the linguine and clams or the chicken parm. My kids get the spaghetti. As long as you avoid the pizza you will be fine. This is old school Italian so don't freak out when it is not organic wheat. read more

Food is excellent with upgrades to menu BUT the takeout service seems to have collapsed. I tried to order spaghettini (which is on the menu). The young guy who answered didn't know what it was, tried to give me fettuccine, ended up giving me plain spaghetti. He seemed completely unfamiliar with the menu. When I showed up, half my order was missing from the bag (not from the check). When I pointed this out, the same guy said "I'm sure they MADE it." But they hadn't. I waited 10 mins for two salads. He finally gave them to me. No apology at any point. As a long time regular customer I'm infuriated. read more

Amore is becoming out go to Italian restaurant in the area, even though we pass by serval others on the way. Amore is casual Italian dining at its best. You can come here with friends and have a great meal, share stories, and feel like you are just part of the family. During our most recent visit I enjoyed the lobster ravioli. The sauce on this dish was fantastic, it was rich yet allowed the flavor of the pasta and the filling from the ravioli shine. The cook was a perfect al dente and it was served with some nice asparagus. Amore is a family run restaurant and it is not uncommon to see three generations of the family actively involved in running the restaurant. You are greeted in as family when you come in the door and they provide great service. Amore is BYOB so stop by the local grocery store before you arrive and pick out a bottle to bring. They will open it and provide you with the wine glasses. This is one of those hidden gems that you need to know about to get some great tasting Italian food in the Grapevine area. read more

Really good Italian food. Large portions, low prices. Can't wait to go again back for more pasta!

Excellent on all levels! Very quaint with the "Italian Family"feeling and aroma and flavors! Traditional Italian dining...can't wait to go back! read more

Ok so it may not be a great stand alone restaurant on any one issue. The food is good, house wine, check , atmospher better than average. But, add all this up and you have a hit. So I suggest you go especially if you are wanting a low key romantic spot that hardens back to simpler times. It's getting difficult to find these types of places. Any of the red wines by the glass are good. The meat lasagna was tasty without being overly filling. Chicken tetrazzini was warm and creamy with a nice size serving. The waiter was non intrusive and only there whenever you needed him. I made a reservation but didn't need it at 6 on Friday. But by the time we left there was a wait it's a small place so... read more

Food was delicious! Service great too. Perfect for a cold night! Chicken parmesan, and pasta was exceptional.

Our party of four had an enjoyable dinner with good service and great food. The wait staff seated us on time and in a booth that was requested. We have been coming to this place for a number of years and have never been disappointed. I ordered the veal parmesan and the 1/2 order was the right size and flavor for my stomach and palate. read more

Felt like a Sunday afternoon in the North End of Boston, rather than on the outskirts of downtown Dallas. The cocktails were mixed to perfection, the Chicken Parm more than met my standard barometer for evaluating Italian restaurants....perfect! The other two in the party raved about their dishes as well. Great service, ask for owner who is a great guy with an interesting story. Will return on next trip to Dallas!! read more

Another great dinning experience. We met some friends there and it was a party of 5. We had 3 appetizers: calamari light and tender probably one of the best around, meatballs with sauce moist with great flavor, garlic bread with an olive spread was ok. Entrees- Chicken Genoese delicious, pasta with oil and garlic delicious, veal parm delicious, veal piccata delicious, polenta side delicious and the salad was ok. Several has the minestrone soup but I didn't taste that one although they said it was great. The restaurant is super small and no reservations are accepted. We waited about 30 mins on a drizzly Saturday night around 645. The man that appeared to be the owner or manager was funny and attentive, the waiter was good too but you could tell he was really busy. There is one restroom for women and one for men. Looks like they also have a big take out crowd. We will return. read more

I would agree with the other reviews. I've been coming here since 1992 and it was amazing at one time. It's no longer amazing. All three of our dishes were bland and not fresh. I took my daughter and son there because I wanted them to have great Italian food and it was very disappointing. My 17 year old was shocked that I raved so much about the place. Service was just ok, nothing special. There's other places to eat great Italian food!! read more
