Amaro Italian Bistro Reviews
Nathellia was such a delight. We definitely go here again. Ambience was so great. Staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine listings. Definitely will be back.
First time. Really enjoyed. Clean and tastefully decorated. Service was great, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was very comfortable. Thank you to all the servers... you made our visit pleasurable. A special shout out to Carlton, the GM. You were a wine glass full of knowledge and a delight to chat with. We are already planning our next dinner! UPDATE: We went a 2nd time for Restaurant Week. Again, we enjoyed all. No issues, service excellent, food was good, atmosphere was good.
OMG..... Excellence all around. I was with a group of 12. We all had different entrees and each was good. Drinks, appetizers, pizza, alcohol...... Service was great. Shout out to Promise, our server. Couldn't have had such a great night without her.
We came in for our anniversary and my wife’s birthday. Nathellia was our server and she was amazing. Very bubbly personality, great table side manner and quick. Food and drinks were top notch. Price is good for the amount of food you get. Will definitely be back for that parm wheel.
This place was an amazing pick before our movie. Came with the kiddos and had the meatballs for our appetizer, needless to say, they were amazing. We enjoyed the Caesar salad and the boomer pizza was to die for. Best pizza I’ve ever eaten hands down I’m going to be craving it now. The tiramisu and the ricotta dessert were an amazing finish. The kids had the chicken parm and were extremely satisfied. The atmosphere was amazing and the service was phenomenal. We will definitely be back and highly recommend.
I’ve been here a few times and every time I come in I feel like I’m eating with family. From the warm hosts to the attentive bartenders, I’ve never had a bad experience! I even took my picky mother here for her birthday and she pretty much licked her plate clean. The food is always delicious and presented so beautifully. I’d also like to say Clayton, the manager, is always convincing me to try new things! His knowledge on wine is absolutely insane and I learn something new every time he speaks to me! There’s a reason I keep going back and I live seeing them grow. Definitely give them a try and dont be afraid of the octopus pasta it’s so good!
Great venue and service with some fun food options! Focaccia trio with garlic olive oil and crispy fried brussels were delicious appetizers. Starkly Italian and Amaro Don't Be Shy were both tasty and well-balanced cocktails. Parmesan wheel shrimp alfredo was unique, and Costolette di Manzo (braised short ribs) was excellent, perfectly flavorful and tender. Amaro flight and tiramisu were an awesome way to punctuate our meal!
