First timer! I Was taken here for my Birthday Dinner! This was one of the best Italian Restaurants in the city! Lynn our server was amazing and attentive without being annoying. She was kind, knowledgeable and anticipated our every need! I’m very thankful for the amazing food and atmosphere! I will definitely be back!
A fine restaurant for both casual and special occasions. We visited for our wedding anniversary and hope to be back each year. We enjoyed the pasta dishes we ordered, and the service was excellent. I made an online reservation, but many others simply walked in and got seated since the place was huge. The cheesy potato soup was super delicious. 🍝
This was delicious. I took my wife and daughter to eat here. The food was delicious. My wife had the fettuccine Alfredo, my daughter had the eggplant Parmesan and I had the chicken Parmesan. My wife and really liked our meals. We also had antipasti salad and of course desert. Very delicious food.
We has a couple of adult beverages, calamari, cacciatore chicken and shrimp, and lasagna. Both were very good as well as the drinks and the soup and the Caesar salad. A sleeper of a restaurant if you are new to the area.
We went to Villa Amore for the first time on New Years Eve. What a truly pleasant experience. Very comfortable atmosphere and tables far enough apart that it was easy to carry on a conversation. The food was excellent and the service superior. Andrea was so helpful and attentive. They do dinner as well as lunches. You will not be disappointed.
The menu featured a delightful selection of dishes, and everything we ordered was incredibly delicious. The flavors were rich and authentic, truly a testament to Italian cuisine. Plus, at the price per plate, the portions were impressive, making it an excellent value for the quality of the food.
Four friends joined me for dinner and it was the first time any of us had been to this restaurant and we will definitely be coming back! All of us LOVED what we ordered and the dinner rolls are to die for and the chicken potato soup leaves you wanting more. All of us had enough food to take some home. One of us had the awesome chocolate cheesecake (which was free since it was her birthday) and two of us split the Italian cream cake and it was delicious! We did not have reservations and got in fine on a weeknight and service was perfect. Our waitress was very attentive and great atmosphere and I think it’s kind of a hidden gem❤️
It is so cute inside! Great for a romantic date. Definitely make a reservation if you plan on going around the 5-7pm time. The food was amazing and all came out pretty quick! I opted for the potato soup and it was phenomenal. I highly recommend the lemon cake, it is worth saving the space for!
Buon appetito! 🌟 I recently had the opportunity to dine at Villa Amore and I must say it was an exceptional culinary experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt transported to authentic Italy.
