    Incredibly delicious GF chicken gorgonzola with pasta dish! Custom pizza was on point! Staff was engaging but not hovering. Restaurant was clean. Very enjoyable night.

    I love this place. The ambiance is perfect for a romantic date if you get a corner or even just hanging out somewhere that reminds you of a trip to Italy. The food is unique and amazing as well. Go... you will not regret it

    Tasty food, well seasoned, temperature precise, well cooked (perfect veggies) and hearty portions. Feels like home for a family dinner. Attentive service. Had our wedding dinner here in 2018 - amazing food and experience, compliments from all guests! Cafe Amore never disappoints. Enjoy lunch on the patio in the summer, especially their pizzas. The best bruschetta I've had in the region. Always choose Cafe Amore for my first pick for special occasions or just for a night out of the kitchen.

    The salads were delicious, the main courses were very tasty and the portion size was more than ample. The lighting is pretty dim as we had to request a table lamp to read the menus. The noise level was very loud for one of our party of 4 who was wearing hearing aids. As seniors now, it would be great if the space in front of the dessert display could be less congested.

    Second time going to this restaurant. The service was good but the food was just okay for most people in the party who said the pasta dishes they ordered were lacking in flavour. The highlight was definitely the wood fired pizza which was excellent.
