Lovely evening for Italian food. I like the interior decorations and lights. Fairly empty restaurant after 6:30 PM and only one server working. A very polite and handsome young man by the name of Patrick seated us and was very attentive without being overbearing. Very nice. I wanted simple spaghetti and meatballs and hubby got lobster ravioli. We split a dinner salad and had the little bread squares dipped into balsamic vinegar and olive oil and herbs. It was very good but my pasta was slightly overcooked. The meatballs were fantastic but the sauce could've used more basil. I'd love to come back and try something else! read more

I don't know... I don't think this was worth $27 . Not a great portion size, too much garlic. Meatballs seemed like there were sitting for a while. read more

We returned after a while to try this restaurant again. The food was decent but not as good as the last visit. We tried the lobster ravioli and chicken piccata on this visit. The ravioli was clearly store bought, and the pasta was thick and gummy. It also had only two pieces of shrimp. The sauce was very good, however. The chicken piccata was standard. They did not bring complimentary bread on this visit either. Not a bad spot overall, but some dishes may be better than others. read more

Made reservation for 4:30 pm Friday night using the restaurant website during non business hours. Got the automatic response back stating they will confirm the requested time. Next day, an email arrived and needing to confirm using the Yelp app. 4:30 pm, Friday. We were the 2nd table to arrived. Soon, others followed in. This restaurant use to be the old Einstein Bagle location. Converted very nicely. Going back few months, we walked in hoping for a table and that didn't happen. Now we know. This restaurant has about 10 tables and tried to maximize their space. Bread was offered and arrived promptly. My Moretti which was served on chilled glass. Very nice at $8 Yelp now offeres an ability to point the camera at the menu and photo will follow. Haven't tried it but will next time. Instead of doing this, followed an old fashioned way. Yelpers photo to the rescue! Chicken Marsala $24.50 came out as imagined. Roasted garlic mashed potatoes, mushrooms, spinach, and chicken breast in a marsala sauce. Hot, well prepared and topped with grated parmigiana. Had to add bit of salt but overall, well prepared. Chicken was perfectly cooked with crispy edges but still moist. Had a chance to sample lasagna bolognes $20.75 which I also liked. Web site says "Mama's beef Bolo layered with parmesan and ricotta topped with mozzarella and marinara" Definitely freshly prepared. Cheesy, saucy and not over powering acidic taste Definitely, will be back again. read more

I am writing this review with a bit of bitter mixed feelings. To get to the point, one of the dishes I got from this restaurant had a little piece of hair in it. But let me tell you how my whole to-go experience went. Upon arrival to the restaurant (I didn't call in to place an order or anything), this lady immediately walked up to the reception desk and greeted me. I told her I was in for a to-to, she asked me if I had known what I would want. Although I didn't place my order ahead of time, I did browse the menu so I had a pretty good idea as to what I would get me. She then kindly walked me through the menu quickly while I was perusing it. I ended up with what I had in mind: Braised Meatballs and one of the salads (Vegetable.) She told me the meatballs would come with some crostini bread. The prices for both items matched between the menu I browsed earlier and the actual menu she handed me. She then said I could have a seat at one of the tables and offered me a glass of water while I was waiting. Her kind gestures were seen throughout the whole waiting period so I said that the restaurant is/was super cute (indeed it is cute where it was also very clean) to which she said her kind thank you. She was above and beyond. The food didn't take too long (I went here during the off-peak lunch time so I was pretty much the only person at the time of the visit.) Since I settled my tab when I placed my order, I took off immediately after I got my food (I sure was hungry!!) At home, I started my early dinner immediately. I truly enjoyed both dishes (whereas the crostini bread was a bit too salty to my liking, the meatballs were excellently made with the right tender texture with no saltiness and yet they weren't bland at all. The salad (as it was described on the actual menu) had a good amount of grilled zucchini which changed the game for this simple and yet flavorful salad.) And then I noticed a small piece of hair in the salad. Ugh..... I know they didn't mean to put it in there. And it didn't change the taste of it and yet this is not necessarily sanitary. I was a bit disappointed.... The conclusion is that I wasn't super bummed about this to-go experience. The service and the food all checked out. I didn't call the restaurant about the little hair piece I found in the salad as the lady was so pleasant and courteous to me. Although I won't immediately go back here to dine or do a take out soon, I will be sure to give them a chance in the near future. Based on this whole experience, a 3-star review should be fair to them?? read more

C' Amore Italian Restaurant - Lasagna with spinach - Italian Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I tried C'Amore the first week it opened and was less than impressed. It's been a while so I came back with a group of friends. I can honestly say the best thing about this restaurant is the staff. They are welcoming and friendly and Jenni made us feel right at home. On this visit I tried the crispy chicken sandwich. It was good but fell apart so I had to eat the tomato and avocado separately. The fries were very good - and a huge portion. A couple of the ladies in our group had the calamari and loved it. We also had the grilled veggie sandwich and grilled chicken sandwich. Before our meal, Jenni brought out some bread chunks with oil and that was a tasty start. I think if I go back again stick with the pasta. read more

Had an early dinner here last night and the experience was less than acceptable. It seemed like the staff is new and learning the ropes. Both our pasta entrees were under cooked. Service was slow even though only a few tables were occupied. Overall food quality was a 3 at best! read more

My wife is Italian American at heart lol she loves her some oodles and noodles so it was a no brainer to try C' Amore. AMAZING customer service ! It felt like we were the only customers there. The sausage and peppers (A Classic) was cooked to perfection. The noodles were al dente. The only downside was the Caesar and that was only because it didn't have enough dressing. Overall 10/10 highly recommend ! read more

Excellent food! This is a small neighborhood restaurant with limited seating. Reservations are highly recommended. We recently went there and our server was Rae. She was super attentive and an excellent example of good customer service. Some constructive criticism: the main dish arrived too soon. We were sharing a bottle of wine and just starting our salads when the kitchen brought out the main dishes. Other than that, it was an excellent meal and we highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Me and my family visiting Colorado for my son college graduation found this wonderful Italian restaurant. Everything was made fresh and there was no freezers in this place. The customer service was beyond excellent. Rae our server was top notch with serving us. She also had others checking on us like Patrick, Alex and Etta were all so wonderful . But the superstars of it all was the cooks Javier and Jorgie! I am a cook in california , but they're food was beyond this world. Everything was seasoned to perfection. There was not one bad plate and I got a chance to try almost every plate from everybody so I can make this review. This food was excellent , and I would love to come back and eat it again. The atmosphere was wonderful , very intimate and warm ambiance. I truly recommend if you love top notch , italian cuisine go to this place. read more

Unfortunately this will be a review based on the dish I ate and not my family. As all of their meals looked and seemed to taste spectacular. However I ordered the caprese salad and opted for the burrata upgrade. Mind you this makes the salad $18.50. Honestly this was such a disappointment of a caprese salad. I completely understand that with the Burrata the cheese may not be sliced. But the combo of underripe, tasteless, and gmo laden tomato, sliced thick enough to replace an elderly set of dentures. Mixed with overripe flowering and almost wilting basil was just plain shameful for an Italian restaurant. Other than that the service was great and the other food seemed alright. The sophisticated atmosphere combined with the childish salad is what got me. read more

5 stars for the entire experience! Locals, this is a must-try! I was visiting the area for business and was craving Italian food. The reviews and the menu looked great so to C'Amore I headed for a dinner for 1. Located in a strip mall, the restaurant is sleek and modern. It was the end of the night so I was lucky to be sat without a reservation. All of the staff were friendly, sadly I don't remember my server's name but she was phenomenal. I decided on the broccoli soup as a starter. So good, but so filling! Very creamy with chunks of broccoli and full of flavor. I ordered the chicken marsala; this is my absolute favorite Italian dish so I ordered it often. I was going to sub noodles for the mashed potatoes, but my server mentioned that the potatoes compliment the dish so well. Well thank goodness that she spoke up-- I couldn't agree more. The dish was honestly one of the best marsalas I've ever eaten. The chicken was thin, the sauce was perfect (a nice balance of sweet and wine) but the garlic potatoes --perfection!! They also made me an order of complimentary bread. I wish I lived in the area because I'd eat here every week, seriously! My favorite part of the night -- the owner had the kitchen make a few dishes and the staff ate together family-style. read more

Really wanted this place to be great... it fell flat! The interior is nice and works well with the space they have. Warm and welcoming. Made reservations and on arrival the hostess just kind of looked at us like she had no clue there was a reservation system. Was seated in a nice both except the electrical outlets looked like someone had punched out the GfI reset button! Took at least 10 minutes for a waitress to make an appearance and drinks were ordered. Had to ask for glasses of water three times as She and the other wait staff kind of milled around looking lost. Food was horrible with no taste. Had Chicken Marsala and the galpal had lobster ravioli, took at least another 40 minutes to get to the table. The mashed potatoes were bland and the chicken was undercooked and swimming in oil and the Marsala sauce. The 8 pieces of raviolis and two shrimp were tough and chewy. Asked to talk to a manager and were told no manger works there. On the plus side the drinks were goo and the wine was better! Meals were takin off the bill and we left more hungry than we walked in. Wished had gone to McDonalds. read more

I have given them 5 stars in the past as we've been many times. I have always loved their food but lately the last several times there it seems the meals have been quite inconsistent. To site an example the 1st time I had the veggie salad with the zucchini, roasted red peppers, Kalamata olives, artichokes etc it was so fantastic tasting. I couldn't wait to go back & order the same salad which I did. This next time was such a disappointment, no zucchini at all, very few artichokes & olives, the red peppers were not great, & no sun dried tomatoes only grape tomato's that were tasteless. Not at all the same salad. Another time we ordered the mussels for an appetizer & the sauce was good but mussels tasted terrible. A 2nd time my husband ordered the mussels & the mussels were good but the sauce was entirely too spicy hot. An example of another dinner ordered was chicken piccata which I've always enjoyed very much previously but this last time it was not the same at all. It lacked the lemon flavor, the sauce was literally like skim milk with no flavor & the chicken was dry & leathery & extremely disappointing. There have been other times with the pan seared salmon being wonderful & next time not so. I really want this restaurant to succeed as it's so nice to have in Centennial & a great location for go to lunch & dinner in the area. I'm hoping that the inconsistencies can be remedied because I'd hate to see you losing business due to this. read more

First time in C'Amore, and we had a great experience. The food was fantastic! The atmosphere is very relaxed and pleasant. The service was something I would expect for a much more expensive restaurant. Excellent! The little bread balls they served were nice and warm and delicious. I had the Shrimp Scampi, and I usually can't finish a plate, but I didn't leave anything on my plate this time. The portions were very generous. We had desserts, and we all shared and every single one was delicious. Plenty of free parking. I definitely recommend it, and I will be going back and supporting a genuinely family-run restaurant. We will certainly come back to this restaurant! read more

Beautiful and professional environment. The calamari and the dipping sauce that came with it was really good. We polished that plate off in seconds. The entrees were your basic comfort food items. Penne was good but I was expecting something more. Maybe a small garlic bread would've paired nicely. My wife got the fettuccine alfredo. It was bland so she had to spice it up. Nothing too serious. The sauce needed a little thickening too. Other than that, we enjoyed our meals and the staff was very kind and courteous. I recommend this place. Ever since The Bent Noodle closed, it's been difficult finding a replacement. read more

We lived in Colorado for 18 years and moved out of state over the summer. During our time in Colorado, we were always so pleased by the food prepared and served at C'Amore. Tonight, three months after leaving the state, I had a chance to dine in while visiting family. As always, the calamari was spot on and we enjoyed chicken Parmesan, a calzone and tiramisu. However, I have to add some comments about an event we witnessed tonight, which is a testament to the professionalism of the staff. A couple came in to pick up their take out order. They were informed that the bread wasn't ready. Customers don't pay for bread that is automatically brought out for anyone eating an entree. The couple acted confused. Said the bread wasn't on their receipt and they wanted to be comped a dessert! The staff repeated that the bread is free with meals, so it never appears on receipts and they'd just need to wait until it was done baking. They complained that their food would get cold (waiting 2 minutes for free bread) and that's why they deserved more...like a free dessert. The stupidity and entitlement of these people! The staff never said an unkind word. It occurred to me after witnessing this that most people, if they enjoy a restaurant, just keep giving our business....but we don't normally write reviews. Like, I may be guilty of this. I enjoy something and I write nothing. However, if an experience is perceived as negative, we are quicker to write about it. I just could not believe this couple wanting free dessert or whatever because bread that they didn't pay extra for wasn't ready when they came for their take out order. How do mom and pop businesses even survive when the profit margin is so slim in the current economy? C'Amore is a great local restaurant for a date night or a family outing. Period. read more

The food is consistently amazing!! Love the atmosphere as well. Great place for Italian food

Always great good and service been going here for 3 years and ive never had a bad experience

The food was excellent and so was the service. It's a small place so make sure to have a reservation.

Was great food, casual atmosphere. Families and couples. Liked it! Would return for dine in or take out. We were headed home from the airport and it totally did the work of yummy dinner we didn't have to cook! read more

We've tried several things on their menu and it's all been good! We continue to return. There's something on the menu for everyone.

Food was generally good. We went at 5 pm. Prior to normal dinner rush. Table of 4. Wine, appetizer and food fine. Dessert was a disaster We were asked to be finished by 6:45 before we were seated as we didn't have a reservation. We were done with the main course by 5:50 and ordered dessert This is where the wheels fell off. 30 minutes later. No dessert. No waiter. I felt badly for the young waitress who was now very busy. No senior mgr/owner oversight. Another 15 minutes and no love. Finally our waitress came over. We asked that the dessert be taken off our bill. Another 10 minutes later. No apologies. No offer to comp a dessert. Very poor mgt. We want to support small restaurants. We had been to this same restaurant a few times before. Tonight. Very poor. It wasn't our waitresses fault and we still gave her a good tip as we know young people can always use the money. This is on poor managerial oversight. I hope they get it figured out as it will be a long time before giving it another shot. This is meant to be constructive criticism. read more

This is the first time we had gone there and had heard great things about this restaurant. We were definitely not disappointed. I ordered a meat lover pizza and my wife ordered lobster ravioli. The pizza was perfectly done, and my wife was absolutely raving about the ravioli, to the point that she wanted to lick the plate! I would highly recommend this restaurant for the food and extremely friendly staff.. read more

C'Amore was my favorite place to go for Italian food. Until last night. I'm SO disappointed. I called at 6pm to get a reservation, they said that they couldn't take us until 7pm, which was fine. We didn't have anything else to do so we decided ahead in earlier around 6:30 and half the table tables were empty so we were seated right away. We sat at the table for 10 minutes without acknowledgment. Finally, the waiter came over and took an our orders. and we waited and waited and waited. We asked another waiter (couldn't find ours) when he brought our appetizer if we could get the little breads that they serve and he said sure. He never gave an any, we asked the lady that seated us, she never gave us any. Meanwhile, other people were getting theirs. Finally, we asked our waiter and he said that he'll bring us some when they're ready and he never did. We asked three more times and still didn't get any. I would've even paid for them. So our food came, my teenage daughter ordered the spaghetti and it was super spicy so she only ate the meatballs, the sauce was too spicy, which wasn't indicated on the menu. I got lobster ravioli, and the ravioli was so thick and chewy that you couldn't even cut it with a fork. I left most of the sauce on my plate bc I had no bread to sop it up with. The shrimp that came with the lobster ravioli were barely cooked. My husband got the salmon salad, which they left at the window when they brought me and my daughter's meals. We saw his salad sitting up there for several minutes so we asked the hostess to bring it to us, bc we couldn't get the waiters attention, and we wanted to eat together. He was pleased with the salad overall. There didn't seem to be any kind of management at all, the waiters and waitresses were roaming around, looking confused about what they needed to do. I'm so disappointed that my favorite Italian restaurant has went downhill so far. read more

Food and drinks were amazing! Especially the Italian margarita. Very kind staff will be coming back!

Had a girls dinner here and everything was phenomenal. We ordered the warm burrata and spinach jalapeño dip for appetizers, so yummy. Our dishes were the Spaghetti Prosciutto with shrimp, carbonara and the ravioli. Everything is made to order and you can tell! We couldn't fis oh the entrees but still made room for carrot cake and limoncello. If you haven't been here, be sure to check it out! I can't wait to be back. And, the owner Maria was fabulous explaining wines, entrees and more! read more

Used to LOVE this place. Last experience was tragic. They packed out to go order without two items. When we checked our order, and found there were missing items, they said, "yeah. We are out" then had us wait 10 minutes for our food, offered us a gift card, but then changed their mind and offered NO gift card or compensation for our hassle. Skip this place. Terrible customer service. Won't last much longer treating customers this way. read more

Nice local spot. Small and cozy. Good for a casual weeknight. Food is okay for this side of town.

The food is really good! Servers are very attentive. I like that it is a smaller restaurant.

Me and The Hubs had dinner here a couple of months ago. Overall, it was a very positive experience. The food was very good and our server was friendly and attentive. I had the Pan Seared Salmon (Broccoli, artichoke hearts, and sundried tomatoes in a lemon white wine broth). It came with pasta. I also ordered 3 shrimp to be added to the dish (I like a very seafood-y dish). Delicioso! The Hubs had the Chicken Marsala and said it was yummy. We started with the calamari and it was good, as well. They also have a decent wine list with a range of prices ( you can get a good bottle here). The atmosphere is good enough for a date night, but not a special occasion (in my opinion). Prices and portion sizes are good. We went mid-week with a reservation, but didn't need it. I'd make one anyway, just in case. Side note: The impression I got when we walked in was that they were catering to two types of customer: the one that wants pizza and beer and maybe comes in with kids; and the one that wants more of a nicer 'date night' experience. The small space kinda makes it tough. Maybe coming in after 7 or so would work for the date night people. That's what we did. The people with kids were leaving about the time we got there. read more

First time dining here and went for an anniversary dinner. The restaurant is nicely appointed and cozy. The background music was nice and not too loud. The artichoke and jalapeno dip to start was simply stunning. Flavorful and not too hot. For dinner I had the pan-roasted salmon cooked to medium. It came with a side of vegetables that were perfectly cooked. My wife had the ribeye steak and fries and her steak was cooked to her preference. The wine list is on the small side, but well curated. The prosecco was tasty and the wine was delicious. The affogato for dessert really hit the spot. The service was friendly and efficient. read more
