    I had a great time visiting lamore. We all shared our food family style and I thought everything was delicious. Great size portions and I left super stuffed. My favorite was the dessert calzone. Must have in little Italy. It was a casual restaurant that felt very welcoming. The service was great with two serving our table. I would recommend.

    Cannoli
    Orlando R.

    I was walking down little Italy and was greeted by L'AMORE's owner to give his place a shot. Let's just say I was not disappointed in any way. The food was beyond phenomenal. They make their pasta in house and you can definitely taste the quality. Highly recommend the lobster ravioli and the branzino in white wine sauce. Service and ambiance matched with great recommendations from the server including the cannoli at the end. Would definitely recommend this place to any pasta lover

    Homemade Lasagna Gnocchi Pesto with Mussels Calamari Fritti

    10/10 meal! Gnocchis are a lil small and so is the portion of calamari but taste is amazing as well as the service!

    Fettuccine Alfredo
    Maddie G.

    While walking around little Italy we were feeling peckish when a server caught our attention and herded us into this wonderful establishment in good timing. He sat us at this gorgeous outdoor seating area and got us established with some water and fresh bread. The food was unbelievable, I had never before this moment tasted fresh noodles, it was completely different from what you usually get at any old restaurant claiming to serve 'Italian Cuisine'. The calamari was perfect and not chewy or overcooked whatsoever, even my mom who's not a huge squid fan enjoyed it! The seating area was clean and secluded as it surrounded you with real and fake flowers good for conversations with company! PS. Don't let the one star reviews based solely on pricing alone scare you away; if you were familiar with New York you'd know how pricing works, I personally believe the price matches the quality at this establishment!

    Penne alla vodka and Lobster Ravioli
    Resha D.

    I have to be honest, this felt like a tourist trap. We were at a festival in Little Italy and chose to sit down and have a bite at 5:30 on a Friday. No wait. The pasta was better than expected, but certainly nothing to write home about. I did enjoy that the noodles were al dente and it came out pretty quickly, but it's also very saucy which I'm not exactly fond of. It was a large portion so there is potential for leftovers. The wine on the other hand was terrible!! They had only "House Wines" available in a glass and trust me it's not worth the $15. After one sip I had to verify that they brought me the Cab. She was nice and offered me to try a different house red but it was honestly worse. I could tell they genuinely wanted to find me something I would enjoy so they ended up bringing a sample of the Malbec which still wasn't good, but better than the cab. Since I was going to pay for it regardless I drank that. I appreciated the effort, the staff was nice. I do believe it was overpriced for the quality though. Also be mindful that regardless of the group size (it was only two of us) the gratuity is already included!

    Penne Vodka, Fettuccine Alfredo
    Kylie C.

    I have been coming here for quite some time now and would definitely recommend. The place is small and intimate making it feel like a good place to get some food and to talk with some friends. The service was attentive, but didn't feel like they were on top of you. The only struggle is that it's in Little Italy and the area can get extremely packed at times. The bread they served in the beginning was nothing special and wasn't warm. I got the Fettuccine Alfredo and the penne vodka and they were both delicious. They were both extremely rich and creamy. If you're looking for a nice calm place to eat with friends and family, this is it.

    This place was absolutely amazing from the moment that we walked in we ordered lasagna is absolutely delicious. Got pasta ravioli very very good. We had tiramisu and cannoli for dessert and it was excellent and the wine that we got a Pinot noir was the best wine I've ever had Highly recommend. Would come back.

    Shrimp scampi
    Mary D.

    Came here on a Saturday night with a reservation for two and was seated quickly. We had warm bread set on our table shortly afterwards. Ordered the L'Amore martini and the shrimp scampi. It was good but a bit overpriced for $30. I will say the ambiance was noisy, but we were seated in a nicer area. Would recommend!

    Meat sauce
    Michelle H.

    Well, i have to tell you. The pastas tasted great ! It's just a bit too creamy to my liking. The carbonara is not my favorite , because I like it more egg yolky than creamy. The meat sauce is delicious , but it's a bit too generic for me. The place offers authentic italian food but the pastas menu perhaps are not for me. One dish that you must try, is their marsala pasta !! I didn't have the chance to take a picture, but that pasta is DELICIOUS

    Lobster Ravioli
    Joel C.

    Food here was ok nothing spectacular. Portions were big but be prepared to use lots of salt. Beat part of the meal was the mozzarella caprese. Lobster ravioli was completely tasteless and was drowning in sauce. Gnocchi was tiny little pieces and had no flavor. Service was just blah. Waiter did not want to engage in any way. He basically just stood at the table waiting for us to tell him what we wanted. Door person promised us a free appetizer when we came in. That is how he lured us in. At the end of the meal, the appetizer was charged and the waiter said he could not take it off. On the way out we mentioned it to the door person and he faked that he was surprised but did nothing about it. It's just a trick to get you in. The charge an automatic gratuity and some random "convenience charge" of 3.5%. Would not recommend. Our dinner for two was $200 and not remarkable at all.

The menu has plenty of variety across pastas, seafood, and cocktails, with some unique dishes that made the experience memorable. The drinks were a highlight, and the seafood options stood out the most for me. My Tipsy Tayke: The Fragola Fizz was juicy, fruity, and refreshing. The Forever Summer was another standout, with the smokiness of the mezcal blending really well with the fruit flavors without overpowering them. Both are easy recommendations depending on whether you want something fruity or a little more complex. My Taysty Tayke: Get Down & Dirty, Expeditiously: Seafood Ravioli Unique, flavorful, and packed with different seafood flavors. The ravioli itself was delicate and had a tendency to fall apart, but the flavor made up for it. Standout: Calamari Crispy, seasoned, and enjoyable. It had a slightly chewy texture, but I still found myself going back for more. The Carpaccio wasn't necessarily for me texture-wise, but I really enjoyed the greens and dressing that accompanied it. The garnish felt intentional and helped bring the dish together. The Pappardelle came with plenty of sauce but could have used more flavor overall. The complimentary bread was also tougher and chewier than I prefer. Desserts: The Lemon Sorbet was easily my favorite dessert. Bright, refreshing, and packed with real lemon flavor. The Mango Sorbet was another refreshing option with a smooth tropical sweetness. The Panna Cotta Cheesecake leaned closer to a mousse in texture and was definitely on the sweeter side. I especially enjoyed it with the cherry, which helped balance everything out. Service: Warm and attentive throughout the meal, fitting the inviting atmosphere. Plates From My Visit: Calamari Carpaccio Seafood Ravioli Pappardelle Lemon Sorbet Mango Sorbet Panna Cotta Cheesecake Fragola Fizz Forever Summer In Conclusion: A warm Chelsea Italian spot with strong cocktails, unique seafood dishes, and refreshing desserts. The Seafood Ravioli was the highlight of the savory side, but whatever you do, save room for that Lemon Sorbet. Stamped by Elajas

We started off with a selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic mixed drinks which were all rated good by the drinkers. We ordered a mix of appetizers - the caramelized onion & cheese torta was a table favorite, as was the salad which had a perfectly balanced tangy dressing. We also enjoyed the smashed cucumbers. Next we got a selection of pastas, the guanciale was a favorite and we also enjoyed the rabbit and crab pasta. Entrees were the steak, a good sized portion, grilled chicken on the bone and an excellent pork Milanese with anchovy sauce on the side. We ended our meal with a lemon torta, basque cheesecake and an espresso dark chocolate cake - which was more like a sorbet but nevertheless delicious.
