That's Amore is the sort of neighborhood Italian restaurant that everyone wishes was nearby. It's…read moresmall, casual and the service is friendly. Full bar with a good menu. The food was ok to very good depending on who you talked to in our party. The specials were generally all very good; the chicken Parmesan and Chicken Marsala were fairly middle of the road. The grilled pear salad was the one disappointing item; cold and tough pears in big chunks just gave it a very strange feel. But all that said, great place for a family dinner. Just not the food quality you expect at these prices. Rounding up from 3.5 given all of its other great qualities.

A few years ago, my spouse and I were introduced to this restaurant. The restaurant was a host for…read moredining out (a fundraiser to support organizations that provide community services). I was quite taken by the restaurant. It even hosts a wonderful view of downtown Seattle and a peak of the Puget Sound. The restaurant is small and intimate. This Italian-style restaurant served one of the best meals I had at the time. So when the opportunity to return came, I wanted to run there from my home. We were immediately shown to our table, and drinks arrived with little effort. One thing to watch for is that they offer sparkling water or tap water. It is easy to think of it as an option, but the sparkling water is a few bucks by the bottle. With four people, it is easy to go through a few bottles quickly - this is my weakness since I have replaced soda with sparkling water. We began with cheesy flat bread and baked goat cheese. The cheesy flatbread was amazing and delicious, and the baked goat cheese was out of this world. I can honestly say that I did not know what to expect, but the baked goat cheese with Taro chips was delightful. What is a trip to an Italian restaurant without a Caesar salad? I added grilled shrimp that were just wonderful as well. This Caesar had a creamy dressing, croutons, and shredded parmesan. The dressing was not overwhelming, but the croutons were a bit hard and difficult to chew. I would give it a B-. I had the PENNE SPECIALI ( mesquite-grilled chicken, spinach, tomato, mushrooms, white wine butter sauce). The description of this dish was better than the flavor. Salt is a flavor enhancer, but when you add it to the dish after it's been cooked, it's like lukewarm coffee - it's okay, but you would have preferred it hot. For dessert, I had the caramel, chocolate custard with chocolate sticks. This was heavenly, and I would eat 100 more. This is a dessert worth the wait, and I do not advise you to share because you will get less. It was the perfect finish. One secret restaurateurs must know is that ambiance, setting, and conversation enhance the food experience, but if the food does not complement the other parts of the experience, something is lost. This place has everything: the view, service, and dining intimacy. Why leave the main dish out of the experience? I want to want to come back like I did the first time I fell in love with "That's Amore."

We've met Michela (business owner) and her charming mother when Michela was a guest at Tom Douglas's Hot Stove Society weekly show. They are very nice and warm people and we love to support small businesses. Today we bought some of the most delicious freshly made pasta I've had since I've made my own. This is a bargain at $10 for a clamshell of yummy goodness. Also for purchase is her famous lasagna in the cooler packed in ready to warm up servings and also her homemade sauce. The staff we interacted with was super nice and described the pasta options available. We also noticed Michela's two books she wrote on display at the counter. I like the one with common sayings and their Italian meanings. Interesting subject. We cooked the pasta at home with some vodka/rosa sauce and it was delectable. Especially when paired with some nice wine. Give this woman-owned business a try when you can. You'll be happy you did.

The noodles had the perfect texture, and although the sauce was just a simple tomato sauce, it was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and comforting. It really proves that you don't need a long list of ingredients to create an amazing dish when everything is made with quality and care. We ordered for pickup, and our food was ready in about 10 minutes, which was a nice bonus. Finding the restaurant was easy--it's tucked inside the Atrium building at Pike Place Market. Just walk south past the famous fish market, and you'll see the Atrium entrance. It's a bit of a hidden gem, but it's definitely worth seeking out. I'd definitely come back just for this pasta!

Melted in our mouths. - 4.5: Tempura Morel Mushrooms Risotta. The tempura coating was not as light as what we were used to in Japan, but excellent nonetheless. Wonderful cheese. - 3.5: Vichyssoise with Smoked Scallops (appetizer). Very good, but we would have preferred a more generous scallop quanitity. - 4.5: Soy sauce ice cream (dessert). Unique taste that was surprisingly good. We are glad we had it, and will be ready for this taste again in 6 months. DRINKS: 4.5. The owner's recommendations were all spot-on. In addition to a bottle of rosé, we had: - 5.0: Plum wine from Japan: Izumibashi Umeshu Yamada Juro. Pricy but the Japanese person who adores umeshu rated it very highly. - 4.5: A dessert wine from Italy that the owner recommended as pairing well with the soy sauce ice cream: he was correct. SERVICE: 5.0. Excellent advice and very attentive. AMBIANCE: 4.5. Comfortable. We had window-side dining table seating, which provided a nice west-ward view over Seattle.

They recently started offering Dutch Babies and my only regret is they don't offer a savory version, as it might be easier to tear myself away from the hash. There is no better Bloody Mary, anywhere. Mio Posto also knows that potatoes belong on pizza! Also recently stopped in for happy hour with friends and enjoyed delicious bar mussels (get some rosemary flatbread or the house baked bread to go with and soak up the juices). It is much easier to come here on weekends now with Lake Washington Boulevard being open to biking and walking on summer weekends, so my only complaint is they could have a larger and better bike rack, as that is the main way I get here. (Although the bus route 14 stops just steps away, too.) I almost always sit outside as it's right across from a park and a great place to people watch. The inside is cozy wood and brick, so maybe now that I have rediscovered it I will come back for some winter meals. Bottom line, all my visits have delivered great food and friendly staff. Hits a sweet spot for offering a casual experience that feels chic but welcoming.

The mussels tasted a little fishy to me, but the baked bread was honestly my favorite part of the dish. It was airy, warm, and a decent size. Simple, but so good, especially dipped into the leftover garlic butter sauce from the mussels. Clam Bake Pizza -- whole roasted Hood Canal clams, pancetta, mozzarella, garlic, onion, chili flakes, parsley, and grana on a house-made white clam sauce base. Unfortunately, I didn't have the same great experience with this flavor as everyone else seems to. The clams didn't seem cleaned very well. I had two slices, and both had either shell fragments or sand in them, which created an unpleasant crunchy texture. It was also a bit too salty for my taste and felt slightly overpriced. That said, the crust itself was amazing. Spring Lamb Pizza -- lamb sausage, mozzarella, goat cheese, roasted red peppers, red onion, chili flakes, and fresh mint on a basil-mint salsa verde base. This one had great texture and flavor overall, though I wish there had been a little more sausage. I especially loved the fresh mint. Once again, the crust was phenomenal. The servers were friendly and very attentive. There's also a good amount of street parking, and the whole place has the cozy feel of a neighborhood pizza shop.

Now given after a preview of menu it's gonna be a veal piccata night and that's accompanied by spaghetti aglio e olio. Like OMG my two favorite dishes combined on one plate... say it isn't so . No salad tonight cause it's all about the veal, and for you folks who hate veal well "fuhgeddaboudit" cause I like it! After a small wait the main event arrives and folks it's delicious. Its tender and picata sauce is overwhelming with lemony sensations. I twirled pieces of veal and spaghetti aglio e olio on my spoon for the most amazing combination of tastes. Feeling satisfied and complete I didn't have desert which actually looked great. Who dosent love Spumoni ice cream when dining Italian style but tonight I didn't have the capacity to entertain another bite. Let's just say my meal was AWESOME! Now a little about the ambiance of Pizzutos. It's kinda stripped down. No fancy decor which is a blessing. These folks put the money in the product and not fancy settings. Good food is why I keep coming back and that's the bottom line... Dine local places like this cause it Makes America Great Again!
