From the moment you walk in, there's…read morea genuine sense of warmth and community--it feels less like dining out and more like being welcomed into someone's home. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between cozy and thoughtfully designed. We started off with the pepperoni bites as an appetizer and each got a salad, Caesar, Strawberry, Antipesto and Chicken all filled with quality ingredients and flavor, very well-prepared and satisfying. We finished with cake and cheesecake. The blueberry lemon cake was a bit on the stale side (don't order if it's the last slice in the dessert booth), the cheesecake and chocolate peanut butter cake hit the spot. Service is another standout--friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making your experience enjoyable. You get the sense that the staff takes pride in what they do, and it shows. Bottom line: Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service--definitely worth a visit (and a return trip).

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!

Excellent service, great overall atmosphere ( dimmer lighting, elegant furnishings and wall art). Servers really know their craft, well trained and always make you feel special! The food groups are not as heavy on pasta as what you would find in a typical Italian restaurant although there are pastas and they are excellent. Dishes lean more to feature fine seafood and meats ( just check the menu on line). If I were to offer a recommendation it would be to add a half dozen more traditional pasta dishes. The food is so well prepared I'm certain the added pasta dishes would be " over the top" excellent! One last comment, the desserts are incredible! Bon appetite

They're more concerned with making you feel at home than spying on you from another location. The Chicken Parm was excellent. Pasta and vegetables also great. And while bread was somewhat standard, the butter brought it up to a very high level. I don't know what kind of butter that was, but it was really good--good enough that I'm writing more than one sentence about bread and butter. The salad was good but nothing amazing. I'll go with the soup as the side next time. I recommend you do the same. If there is one other negative, their packing for to-go orders is archaic. Lol. They put every item in little plastic bags. But don't let that stop you. Their food is delicious. And while I didn't eat here, the ambiance is homey--that's a W! Prices are relatively fair. Overall, highly recommended.

We just had an extremely disturbing experience at this restaurant. We had a confirmed reservation…read moreon a Saturday night; clearly they were having issues because there were no tables when we arrived. We were rightfully frustrated when the hostess said another reservation later than ours would get priority because they had called. At this point the (apparent) manager, who would not provide his name at our request, began to yell at my husband, accusing him of causing a scene (which he was certainly not) and telling us to leave. As an executive in hospitality, that manager would be gone from my employment faster than we hightailed it from there, and hope this serves as a suggestion for a little basic service training. What an upsetting experience.
