    super slow service, food was not bad but over priced ... one piece of lasagna for 25 dollars …read more maybe 15? it also did not come with anything .. not even salad or vegetable. we are big foodies and maybe this price would be acceptable in a high-end restaurant, but this was not it had a very musty smell. If I eat there again, I would choose to sit outside. the red sauce was good the garlic bread was very hard. Wouldn't recommend it mushroom portions very tiny with an over price pricing.

    I do LOVE Italian cuisine but Pasta Amore is NOT even Olive Garden grade Italian food! Don't waste…read moreyour time, taste or money at this restaurant when there are two other excellent choices in Statesville. I, first, was introduced to Pasta Amore's food at an event they catered and I was very impressed with their desserts. The food was good but the desserts were amazing! Tres Leches cake and Cannolis! Based on this we decided to add the restaurant to our "Must Try" list...boy, were we wrong! Don't let the beauty of the outside fool you! We were dressed up and ready for a romantic Italian dinner date. Inside is moody and dark but not in an amore way, no, there's no romantic feel to this dimly lit restaurant. It's also confusing inside, like a maze. Staff were at a bar in the dining area on the left when we arrived but later moved to a bar in the main dining room. We were told to seat ourselves which is another source of confusion at dinner in an Italian restaurant. I get understaffed and conserving energy nowadays but is there such a thing as an Italian casual diner? Next, our drink order was taken from behind the bar by shouting at us, "What do you want to drink"? This was very off putting, especially for my dinner date because the server was behind him. I ordered a domestic beer but was informed there were no bottled beers except Red Oak and there was a craft beer on tap that was very close to a domestic taste. I agreed to go with that. As my beer was served, we were informed of the specials then server left. When the server returned to take our order, we were informed that there was one Cordon Bleu left, as well...this was not mentioned with the Specials. We both ordered the Chicken Breast stuffed with sundried tomatoes & spinach Special. This came with a House Salad and choice of dressing but we were offered a Caesar for an upcharge. I had to add on an appetizer order as we were not offered the opportunity. I ordered Fried Calamari. It is one of my absolute Italian favorites! Summary: Beer was good, I had two and my SO had one. I had to ask for the name of it and I only got the name of the brewery...Moon Brew. As I left, I saw a display on another table about the beers, I'm assuming it was an IPA but your guess is as good as mine! Ah, the app...my Italian favorite...Fried Calamari! Um, no, just no....please, do not order it! Definitely frozen but I know this about all restaurants but this calamari is just so bland, even the batter is flavorless. Maybe heated in oven or maybe a microwave but it was lukewarm at best. Worst Calamari I've ever eaten! House Bread and House Salad were subpar for an Italian restaurant but they do give you packets of butter with the bread and they have Blue Cheese dressing. It was edible and I was starving but definitely not the best bread or salad I've ever had! Entrees were good but you could tell it was not fresh or housemade. Both of our plates looked exactly the same and scratch-made food is not conducive to that level of uniformity or consistency! The taste was not fresh either. Again, it was edible and we were starving! $80.00 later, I would have rather ate at any fast food restaurant in town...there's definitely NO AMORE lost here!
