And it was so good! My 13 year-old daughter did not know what I had ordered, but the first bite her face lit up and she said "oh my goodness, I taste truffles" It's an open air restaurant that is very loud and very Italian... so it's perfect. We sat at the bar because we knew we were just having a quick shared mail... And the bartender made my daughter the most amazing virgin drinks. He was Fantastic!!

We were trying to decide what we wanted to eat, and I was able to make a reservation for nine at North Italia, which was surprising to me, but I guess the time that we went which was about 4 o'clock it was not that busy. I actually have the same server I had when I was in there December for a Christmas brunch. Nichole L. Was our server and she was very attentive and did give us some good suggestions on dishes. However, because there were nine of us, she had mentioned that they don't usually split up the bill however, she spoke to her manager was able to do so. I don't understand why this restaurant has this policy. It makes it difficult to go out in a group. There was an 18% gratuity added to our bill, but it was up to you if you wanted to add to it or get rid of it, I added to the tip. I got the chicken Parmesan, which I had had in the past. It was delicious as always, and I split it into two different meals. I will definitely be back here sooner than later

We made a reservation for 8:15 and arrived a little early but they have a table ready for us. The restaurant is decorated nicely with a very nice bar right when you walk into the entrance. Our waiter recommended several items off the menu. We decided to start with the meatballs and the grillled watermelon as appetizers. The meatballs were great, I like the sauce and the burrata on top. The grilled watermelon was a unique blend of flavors but they melded very well together. It was yellow watermelon that had been grilled with arugula, feta and hot honey. For the main course we got the chicken alla vodka and the chicken pamigana. Both dishes were fantastic with homemade pasta, the chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce for both dishes was flavorful. For dessert we went with the chocolate torte. I enjoyed the dessert but the other folks at the table were not fans of the basil lemon gelato. Overall we really enjoyed our dinner and we will be back.

We liked to get the Too Good To Go bags they offer - look it up, definitely worth trying out, they're just hard to get since they go so fast. I would like to try their hot bar - it has a lot of selections on it with a good variety. They also have a ton of stuff to try, but it does seem a little like Trader Joes - a lot of speciality foods, most of which are out of normal budget.

I am not very picky when it comes to drinks but this was the absolute worst matcha I had ever had. It was chunky, and there was no flavor at all.

This is a restaurant. I usually forget about but decided to come here on a Saturday afternoon…read more I had planned it for months because I wasn't aware that they had happy hour daily from 4 PM to 6 PM. It was just three of us from my dinner group that decided to meet here. I started off with the blood orange Margarita, which was only five dollars because it was happy hour and it was very delicious I love the warm, doughy bread served with a distinct, salty, and flavorful herb-oil dip starts off every meal. I ended up getting two appetizers. I got the lasagna dip and the meatball sliders. Both were equally delicious. When I usually come here, the parking lot is so full, but since we came in the early afternoon, it wasn't bad at all. Gianna with our server and she was very attentive and personable. And she did give good suggestions. Before, if you were doing the happy hour, you would have to sit in the bar area, but now you can sit in the dining area as well which I thought was great. I will definitely be back here sooner than later for another happy hour.

I usually get great food from here…read more Service: 8/10 they screwed up my order, but fixed it. Food: 2/10 I am only given it 2 out of 10 because the presentation of the food looked perfect. However, my fettuccine with the grilled chicken was lukewarm basically cold. Usually we go on a Sunday and the food is piping hot with flavor just perfect on Sundays. I have never had a bad experience here. I think we are all seeing this big trend happening with the food service and restaurants just not living up to our standards. The only time I feel like I am not duped out of spending good money for food is when we are cruising. It's like you get the best of both worlds on a cruise. At least with Royal Caribbean you do. You may ask me, why didn't you take a picture of the food? Because I was just disappointed because we went in the evening time and not during lunchtime on Sundays. Maybe that was it. You know what I think I'm gonna go back by there to try it one more time on our Sunday outing. I'll let you know how it goes. And you can take that to the bank!

Super romantic atmosphere! Wear a little glitz so you shine for your man in the dim romantic light! Heavy curtains, cozy booths, expensive artwork with special indirect lighting, and exquisite 5 star service and food combine to make a memorable evening. When your salad fork comes properly chilled and you are served immediately with complimentary bruschetta, one realizes Amore is no regular restaurant! I had slightly spicy Italian sausage and mushroom pesto pasta and hubby had Shrimp Alfredo. Both were excellent. They included generous serving of green salad which had nice additions to the lettuce with house made vinegarette. The bread was fabulous also, offered with olive oil and spices. The location of Amore is a lovely two story strip center, so it is a bit of a hidden jewel. We had barely saved room for a special dessert next door! We drove the short distance to Cedar Lane leading to the precious little Italian village ( Villagio Colafrancesco) hidden in the woods to the right of the shopping center with Amore. Park behind the strip center. Check hours as usually only open on Thurs, Fri and Saturday but this is the way to end a most romantic evening! Tiny lights and a gorgeous restored farmhouse complete the village with its Italian coffee shop and the best gelato outside of Italy. They even have some nondairy sorbet. Tell your lady to bring a large shawl in case it's chilly inside ( no low cut or super short dresses allowed as this is run by a Catholic group that has a large farm not far away. That provides organic milk and cheese and meat which they also sell. Don't miss their Sistine Chapel style painted rest room too!
