Very friendly and great explanations for how things worked, as well as everything tasting good.

Great food, good packaging for take home dinner party. We tried a few dishes over the holidays, made for a hearty warm meal in the winter. read more

I ordered from amore pasta their item called "the jerk" same as my wife and I have done atleast fifty times over the last two years. not only has the price gone up but now the serving size of the items I ordered today are half the size they have always been. I called the place and they wouldnt do anything for me stating size portions haven't changed. that's a lie, myself and my wife loved the jerk and ordered it almost every weekend for our order in meal. I will not be going back to that place as 28 dollars each for what I received is disgustingly over priced read more

Order was ready when I arrived. Still warm by the time we got around to eating it (half hour, things got busy!). Food was delicious. The build your own with chicken and rose was yummy.. lots of mozzarella baked into it. Every bite had sauce and cheese. Chipotle Ole had just enough kick but wasn't too spicy. Also ordered garlic bread and cheesy bread. Portions were big enough that we had a 9pm snack too. read more

People love customizing their meals right? Well, that's what the Amore crew is banking on with their latest endeavour, Amore Pasta. You must know them as they run both Cafe Amore and Black Pearl Seafood. Hours are pretty decent but I'm surprised that they're closed Monday and Tuesday. We came on a Saturday for an eary lunch. Basically, you have two options: a signature pasta creation ($13.95 to $18.90) or you can create your own pasta bowl (CYOP). We decided to go with the latter. 8 types of pasta and 8 Amore sauces and 5 premium sauces ($0.95 extra). The more you add, the more expensive your pasta gets. $8.95 for the base, veggies ($3.50 for 180 grams), cheese ($1.00-2.00) and then meats ($2.00-3.00). You can also get your pasta baked ($2.50). - Fettuccine ($18.70) - go big or go home right? We shared a bowl and opted for the fettuccine with Papa Joe's tomato sauce (gotta go classic first time around), a full bowl of vegetables, mozzarella and sausage. We also got our pasta baked; $2.50 seems steep. The pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente. Cheese was oozy, melty goodness. We added a couple hot peppers which gave the dish a nice simmer of heat. Sauce was simple but bursting with flavour. The same level of excellence that you get at Cafe Amore. Just in a compact, quick takeout style concept. read more

Usually I'm pretty happy with my orders with Amore, both during and pre-covid. Was very disappointed. #1 - if I had to guess, I'd say that the pasta war prepared and portioned in the morning and has been sitting in a fridge all day. The baked pasta had settled to the bottom (cheese stayed glued to the top) in a small pool of water. Not pleasant. #2 - The portion has also shrunk, dramatically. Not what I would expect for $16 worth of pasta. #3 - I'm sure they used to include a piece of grilled bread with the pasta - not anymore. #4 - The salad was the highlight of the dinner. Everything was individually packaged and it was fresh - again you know it was packaged in the morning but that's ok. Thankfully I had it. Won't be ordering from Amore Pasta anymore - not when the highlight is Caesar salad. read more

Amore Pasta - You can see on the end that it was only filled halfway. - Italian Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Well, I must say I was very pleasantly surprised! The pasta is like eating home made, from the pasta to the sauces to the vegetables. I have ordered from other places, and this is truly the best yet! You have a customer for life, if you keep it tasting like home made! Highly recommend! read more

I am so excited to have the sister to Cafe Amore in my neck of the woods! And just in time for the brutally cold winter when I want nothing more than comfort food! The setup here is, as they explained to me, "just like subway". First, you choose your pasta and sauce (check out my photos for the options) for $8.95. Then, you get to fill up a bowl with veggies of your choice, for $3.50. I picked spinach, mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes (I didn't see them until after I added the fresh tomatoes), and roasted corn! Then you can add cheese for varying costs. My 2oz of mozza was $1. Proteins can be added as well ranging in price from $1.25 (or was it $1.50) for prawn, to a few dollars for chicken. There were other meat options as well such as meatballs. If you are staying, you can get your pasta baked with mozzarella, but unfortunately it's not available on to-go orders. My hearty bowl of pasta was $14, and well worth it. Way more than one person can eat, so you'll definitely have leftovers. And I didn't add any protein! The pesto alfredo is sooooo good and I love that my pasta is full of veggies! Highly recommend! read more

Best Italian food I've tasted from a restaurant 10/10 will be a regular For the amount of food that you get the price is crazy cheap and you can make your pasta however you want. They make It right in front of you and it's so cool to see how everything is made! read more

Nice concept good choices to pick . The cooks are always working hard when I go into this place . Food is tasty nice change for take home food . Will keep going here from Time to time . Great place read more

i hated my order my pasta was swimming in oil the ice tea sucked too i will never order from them agian

Been wanting to try the place for awhile, but always hesitated because I'm very picky with my pasta. First impressions weren't great, we waited for some time before being helped and they knew it was our first time but didn't bother to explain the process. I had to ask to have some parmesan at the end because a young guy acted like I was almost an annoyance taking the food I just paid for. The friendliest guy was a jovial cook, older fella. He could have served and cooked and my experience would have been 5 stars as the others didn't seem to do much. We were there for 45min and not once did the staff come out to wipe dirty tables. It wasn't even busy. The food. I ordered a bolognese pasta while hubby ordered the monthly special. Both of our pastas were delicious and flavourful. My bolognese is exactly what I've been looking for. I'd definitely return for the food, with the request that my noodles be El dente. read more

Fantastic! I enjoyed the pasta very much and it's the next best thing to bringing Cafe Amore home without having to drive downtown. Very quick and easy and with option to create your own pasta brings a twist to the experience. The meat balls were delicious. Great for pickup or sit down. read more

Amore Pasta - Bolognese sauce with meat balls! Mmmmm! Meat heaven! - Italian Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

We were very surprised by our first visit here. Lots of selections of sauces and pastas, totally customizable. The staff is very kind and answered all our questions. And the food came out very fast. We shared a single pasta dish and they split it into 2 plates and the portions were huge! To top it off, it was very delicious. Would definitely recommend this place. Restaurant quality pasta, low price and fast preparation! read more

I'd like to give this place a better rating based on the food only but unfortunately this place is a bit to pricey for me considering the cafeteria style setup and ambiance. I love places like this with the choose your own adventure made fresh approach but there are a couple places around town with the same setup for less. I enjoyed the pasta and they get high rating from me in this regard. I consider myself a big eater and I felt their portion size was significant which left me in a food coma(I'm mostly okay with this) read more

I was so disappointed with this that it hurt. Not only did two simple make your own dishes take an excessive amount of time, and items in those forgotten. Our garlic bread was greasy, not toasted and on a nothing special hot did style bun. Our pasta was soupy. It was also to my shock that the menu from the south side location resembles only about 10% from the appetizing menu from the downtown location (the menu I was hoping to find here). I can't say I would recommend. Or that I would return. You can make better and cheaper pasta at home read more

We ordered the gorgonzola pasta and the Italian pasta with a side of garlic bread. It all was excellent and perfectly sized portions. We will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

2 minutes ago Worst place ever!! Because I am vegetarian i kindly asked if I could swap the chicken on the pasta for the prawns.And I was appauled when the staff told me I had to pay 1.25$ for each prawn individually . Unbelievable. Never going there again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE WORST. read more

After we ate we thought we should call, all we could say was "WOW!!" We were full but didn't want to stop!Went for the first time tonight and seemed we managed to arrive just before the rush. Staff were very friendly. Servings of pasta are huge; the portions of veggies and protein are quite large as well. The dessert was fantastic - I had the tiramisu and my husband the mango sorbert - we wish they were bigger! Great price for what we got, we both have tomorrow's lunch too. We plan on spreading the word and coming back again! read more

Cool little place to make your own pasta dishes. Friendly staff with lots of choices.

Would not recommend. Ordered from Skip and the restaurant called us because they forgot to send our garlic bread with the Skip guy. Okay, fine, they refunded us for that. Then it arrived and was so mushy my husband and I had to choke it down. The flavours were okay but the pasta was definitely overcooked. Its a cool concept and not a bad price for the portion size but I would choose Chianti's over Amore Pasta any day of the week. read more

Great pasta place for any occasion. I had lunch here with my son who loves pasta. We both liked it so much that it's now our favourite pasta place. The pasta, sauces and ingredients are all made fresh and quick. Lots of choices and you can customize whatever ingredients you want on it. And of course the pasta taste so good. read more
