Visited Amore e Amore a few weeks ago for Halloween and it was so good that I had to come back for the Christmas decor! Not only is the intricate detail in the decor amazing, but the service, food, and drinks are all truly outstanding as well. You can tell there is a lot of love that goes into the making of this restaurant as a whole. 10/10 recommend! read more

This was my first time at Amore e Amore, and loved every moment. We came for the Halloween themed decor, and it did not disappoint. Everywhere you turned, there was so much detail. Our server was friendly and they explained all the dishes to us that we asked about and then some. The hot bread and garlic butter that came out at first was just delicious. The Miller Family's favorite, the Chicken parm, and the special pumpkin ravioli were all divine. The themed cocktails were fun. I enjoyed our experience. Other Misc Items: There was valet parking in the lot right by the restaurant. At the time I went, it was tip only. They do not split checks, which was not a big deal for us. Go, enjoy, ask questions about the food, she was passionate and loved sharing with us. read more

Whenever we celebrate something, we think of Amore E Amore first. The ambience is the perfect mix of vibrant fun and Italian comfort. The service is consistently outstanding, the menu is classic with a twist of dishes that feel personal to the restaurant, and the drinks are awesome. Coming from an Italian household and having gone to Italy several times, Amore E Amore is top tier Italian food in Atlanta. read more

Had dinner here recently. Had the house special pasta (forgot what it's called) and it was good but not enough noodles to gather all of the sauce. Wasn't a fan of my wife's lobster ravioli. There was very little lobster and the empty half lobster shell was on the plate. We were also charged for two extra drinks that we didn't have. Not a fan of everything having to be on one check. It implies an outdated service system that you see at restaurants that can't keep up with the times. Edit: got a rude response from the owner so wanted to update. our guests arriving late has nothing to do with your outdated service system so don't deflect. And unfortunately for you pasta is a type of noodle whether you're pretentious or not. Finally, it's interesting that you ignored that you charged us for drinks that we did not have. But I guess you'd have to in order to keep up the pretense of being a higher class restaurant. read more

Absolutely ADORABLE decorations for Halloween! You step inside and you immediately feel transported into the cozy ambiance of the season. I definitely want to come back for other holidays because it was just so gorgeous inside. Our server was so sweet and attentive the whole time and even offered to take our photo for us. We came at 5:30 so we were seated promptly and food and drinks came out quickly after ordering. The themed drinks were cute and delicious! I got the witch's brew because I love lavender and it was perfectly balanced, not to mention it changed color when you stirred it with the rock candy that came with it. I got the Miller's Rhapsody in B Major for food and it was amazing! So creamy and filling, definitely ask your server about it! The food is definitely a bit pricey and there's a one entree/pasta minimum so you couldn't come and share an entree. I do like to split an entree with my husband when we go places so that we can have room for a couple of appetizers and dessert (try more of the menu!), so that's definitely a con for me. Also note that they don't split checks so you'll need to be prepared to do some paying amongst yourselves! read more

Food was delicious and very cool V-day decorations. Super snooty staff as if customers are lucky to be here. We were admittedly 20 minutes late for our reservation (paid for a babysitter, drove an hour to get here for our one date night a month) and was told our reservation was cancelled. They did end up getting us a table for two at the front said it was our only option and told my 6ft husband he couldn't move it to accommodate room for himself. Then we asked our waiter if there were any specials and he said very rudely that we'd have to wait. He never came back to tell us them but thank God for Khalil the only nice waiter that was there. Then the same previous waiter dropped the check 10 seconds after we put our forks down and never asked us if we wanted dessert or anything so super rude. Prices also a bit outlandish. $17 for a glass of plain Prosecco. $40 for 8 clams. My husband and I both got sick the same night. Like really sick. It was an experience but one I will not go back for. read more

This restaurant is a "must try" for everyone. The ambience is decorated for Halloween now. The food is fabulous! I have been there twice now and can't wait for the next visit! We have had Miller's pasta, lobster ravioli, and both the chicken and eggplant parmigiana. The bread pudding was delicious! read more

You know that cheesy tagline from the Americanized-Italian chain, Olive Garden? A middle-class family laughs cheerfully around a table and the narrator in proclaims "When you're here, you're family!" as the commercial comes to a close. Well, that vibe runs true at Inman Park's Amore e Amore. The difference between this family-owned, quirky establishment vs. Olive Garden? Absolutely everything. (I'll explain.) My husband's comfort food is Italian. His go-to dish is chicken parmesan. In his 43 years on earth, he's been on a quest to find the "perfect chicken parm". So, for his birthday, I thought I'd drag him to an Atlanta spot to see if we could end this quest. Little did we know, we landed on a charming, whimsical dining experience. I made reservations ahead of time and notified the restaurant we were celebrating a birthday. There were two party hats awaiting us at the table reserved for us. Great little touch to make us feel welcomed upon first impression. It didn't appear as though we had a dedicated server. Instead, everyone walking the floor made a stop at our table at one time or another, catering equally to our dining experience and making sure our wine glasses were never low. We even had the pleasure of chatting with "Mama Gale," who gave us a brief history of the restaurant. She's proudly held this particular location in Inman Park for 21 years, though recently rebranded to Amore e Amore at the onset of the pandemic. We started with cocktails (hubs had a Negroni and I had a featured house cocktail) and Caesar salad ($14). The Caesar was simple and had a lovely drizzle of olive oil and a balsamic glaze that brightened up the flavor of the salad. *chef's kiss* After dredging the complimentary table bread into the leftover balsamic glaze from my plate, I was dreading another visit from a "captain" (this is what they refer to the servers as here) because I simply could not make a decision between all of the lovely sounding specials and the menu items. Luckily, Mama G swooped in to help. After graciously reciting the specials and explaining some of the menu items, I saw a twinkle in her eye when I asked about the Shrimp Fra Diavlo, so I landed on that ($29.95). She even left a container of chili-infused oil for me to drizzle carefully over my plate when I told her I loved spicy food. Naturally, my hubs ordered the chicken parmigiana ($27.95). This was my first time ever ordering that dish where it wasn't served with a pasta and marinara, but you can order it as a side for $9.50. I'm not really sure of the pricing logic there, since my dish was seafood and came with pasta, but I digress. The experience outweighed the pricing. Before our dinner was served, we were presented with two large spoons of lemon sorbet as a palate cleanser. And in pure Italian fashion, they also drizzled it with a bit of booze (I can't remember if it was limoncello or what, but it was delicious). Mama G was right about the Fra Diavlo. It was served with some of the plumpest prawns I'd ever seen. So delicious, zippy and the perfect portion. The hubs also enjoyed his dish, which was pounded thin and covered in bubbly cheese. Even though we were too full to order dessert, the captains still didn't miss an opportunity to make us feel at home. They brought out a light dessert with "happy birthday" inscribed on the plate in chocolate and sprinkles. It was a lovely touch as we sipped on our after dinner drinks. (Hubs had the barrel aged port $22 and I had the curiouser featured cocktail). The decor and experience at Amore e Amore, as Mama G mentioned, isn't for everyone. But I'd take this restaurant over any white and red checkered tablecloth Italian restaurant any day. Because our first visit to Amore e Amore made us feel like family. read more

Came here for an early Valentines Day dinner! My boyfriend had been here before when it was Il Localino and loved it then, so we were excited for Amore e Amore. There's valet parking in the lot right next door and was pretty easy to find. When you walk in, it's super tiny and the tables are very close together, but it lent to the super cozy and romantic feel. The decor of the restaurant is one of the highlights and they change it out relatively often depending on the time of year (we had Valentine's decor). We had a couple glasses of wine (our servers were helpful with recommendations). The bread was pretty crusty but the herb butter it came with was delicious and so silky. We ordered the buratta and arugula salad (super simple but amazing) as well as the calamari (they were satueed not fried but the sauce was delish). We also had the Vodka Gnocchi and Miller's Rhapsody (the gnocchi was my fave with super pillowy gnocchi, but the millers was pretty good too). For dessert, we had tiramisu (SO! DELICIOUS!) and a really mean espresso martini. Service was a little slow, but honestly for a romantic dinner it was totally fine. The most fun part was later in the night, the lights began flashing and changing colors, a fog machine went off, and they began blasting 80s music and passing around party hats. It was such a fun experience!! Overall, we had an amazing night and can't wait to go back for another special occasion! read more

The food was great and the restaurant looks beautiful with all the fun festive Christmas decor. I would love to give this 5 stars because I've always loved this restaurant but the service was terrible. It was slow and we honestly felt like the waiters were annoyed with us when we asked for another drink which was only once and it took about 40 minutes to get. It It was a totally weird vibe for our party of 8 and we will not be going back. read more

Love the experience and the food is SO good! The current theme is Halloween so they passed out witches hats mid-meal, it was such a cute touch read more

Food and ambiance were perfect! As well as most of the staff like the lovely host and Joe who I believe was trying to help our server Carson. Carson did not greet us, did not smile at us, barely made eye contact, would place dishes down without a word, even caught him rolling his eyes. This was especially upsetting when he seemed to be so pleasant with the table next to us. read more

My wife and I joined friends here the other night before a show at Center Stage, and it was a fun night out! The wait staff was incredibly kind, the decor is kitschy in all the best ways, and the food was good but not great. The kitchen sent several gratis dishes in addition to what we ordered, but none of it other than my steak and mashed potatoes were particularly great, so the food itself is a 3 star level but the service was a 5 star level. We have a lot of other places that are ahead of any plan to come here again, but if you're looking for a fun double date place this was definitely a great one, and it was reasonably close to the Center Stage Theater so that we weren't late for our show (despite some awful driving on my part!). read more

Oh my dear lord. What an epic friggin place. The staff was cooler than I'll ever hope to be. Cooler than public school teenagers! The atmosphere was one of mystique and whimsy. The food was on point. The patrons were a mix of LA cool & old lady groups. My wife and I were ushered through the cool LA types and into the back room where we got seated among the old ladies - where our lame asses probably belong. We shared a perfectly prepared steak, salad and pasta with a coupe of non-alcoholic cocktails to wash it all down. It's really a cool place. I took the first available reservation - two weeks out to get an 8pm table for two. When we arrived, we had to wait outside while a young woman smoked A freshly rolled joint right next to us. In my lame ass head, I just thought; "I will never be that cool". After we left Amore, I just kept thinking; " i wasn't even that cool in high school " lol read more

My partner and I dined here for the Valentines prefix menu. I had been before and was excited to return, but was extremely disappointed by our experience. The servers and manager were nice, but we were waiting for service the whole night (towards the end of our meal we waited 20 minutes for our check.) I also ordered a drink that was never rang in and ended up waiting over half an hour for one cocktail. At the end of our meal, we realized that we had been charged for two extra drinks that we never ordered and that we had never received one of the included courses. The manager did take off the items that we didn't order, but our bill still was over $400 and we are extremely disappointed with the experience. At the beginning of our meal, no one ever asked about dietary restrictions. I was also celebrating my birthday. I understand Valentines is very busy but the service was extremely poor and no one asked or seemed to care if we enjoyed. read more

I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and got the gnocchi in vodka sauce. I heard good things but overall was disappointed. The food was good but I paid over $30 for plain gnocchi in vodka sauce. Yes, it tasted good but it wasn't particularly special. The restaurant was also smaller than I thought with small tables crammed to maximize seating. The restaurant is themed so I can see the attraction. But food and the mid service we had really dampened our experience. We felt rushed to order and to wrap up & leave. Snippy comments made by our waiter. There's many Italian restaurants in Atlanta that have lovely with delicious food, don't think I'd put Amore e Amore on that list. read more

On the plus side, this place has an amazing atmosphere! They change their theme every few months and when I went it was Wizard of Oz. They do it right with everything from wall and ceiling decor to fun dessert names! However the service we got was not good, and the food while nice was overpriced for what it was. They also have a policy that everyone in the party has to get their own entree/pasta, which can be annoying. read more

What a unique and incredible Italian dining experience! I kept seeing all the themed photos on here and didn't realize it was a year round thing which was so cool! We brought our 5 month old and gave them a heads up in the reservation that we'd have a stroller and they were very accommodating. From the moment we walked in, the service was top notch from every person we encountered. We ordered the gnocchi and Miller's pasta and tried the homemade sangria, espresso martini, and old fashioned - all of them delicious! The staff made us feel like regulars even though it was just our first time there, but we will absolutely be back. read more

This place has the most amazing atmosphere that doesn't simply come from the beautiful decorations. You can see and feel the love put into this family-run restaurant from the friendly service, attention to detail, and delicious food. If you come for a birthday, they give out party hats. They sometimes play fun music and pass out hats for everyone in the restaurant. Amore e Amore is somewhere I take everyone that comes to Atlanta because there's truly nothing like it. The Miller Family pasta was my favorite thing I've tried on the menu to date. It is a 10/10 perfect pasta dish. The pasta with shredded lamb (possibly a special) was to die for, and the chicken piccata was wonderful too. They offer valet parking, but if it's full there is street parking as well. You need a reservation on the weekends, but can call the day of to check for cancellations. read more

Wish I could give this 5 stars however our waiter A Camilo had a poor attitude for no reason. We were celebrating a birthday and were so excited for the atmosphere. While we had a great time and good food, our waiter was killing the vibe of the group. Being extremely passive aggressive with no reasoning. Would hesitate to sit in his section again. read more

I was looking for a cute Holiday Pop up bar or restaurant and this was one of the first places that came up in my search. Lets start by stating that it's like a Christmas Bomb went off in this place! The decorations are AMAZING! There is valet parking provided by the restaurant. So that's always a plus in ATL. Customer service was amazing, everyone is jolly and welcoming. Lets not forget to mention that the food was so delicious. I didn't get a chance to try the Cocktails bc I stuck to wine. We did make it to dessert. I recommend the lemon tart cake. Simply delighted we found this little gem. I highly recommend it for a fun Christmas Spot or if you enjoy good Italian food! Definitely a must che read more

now my mouth is currently watering while i'm typing this cause i'm thinking bout that yummy bread / butter combo that we got for the free while waiting for my food. but anyways lemme first talk about the ambiance, it was truly giving christmas and i fully expected santa to come out and hand me my dyson wrap i've been yearning for decades... anyways i digress. I got the miller's pasta and lemme just say it's going on my deathrow meal. The sauce was soo creamy and flavorful and the bits of meat they put in there made me wanna skip to the kitchen and bear hug the chef fr. don't even get me started on the cannoli. the whole dish was made with love i almost licked the plate in front of the whole restaurant but that'd be too big back of me. the service was top tier our food came soo quick before i could blink the check came out, but I would def come again 2000/10!!!

I came to Amore e Amore for my birthday dinner and tried the Harry Potter prix fixe dinner menu. The decor was INCREDIBLE--if you are a Potter fan, this will blow you away. The HP drink list was very fun and thematically appropriate, and the food and service were good but not amazing. The prix fixe menu gives you a whole ton of food: antipasti platter (which they forgot to bring to us and we had to specifically ask for later), choice of pasta, choice of entree, and little dessert platter. I got the rigatoni alla vodka for my pasta dish and that was definitely the highlight of my meal. The shrimp fra diavolo I tried for my main was just all right. The dessert platter also had the best baby cannolo I've ever had in my life, but the little chocolate brownie that came along with it was also just all right. Overall it felt like we spent a lot of time waiting for each dish to come out or trying to flag down our server who kept disappearing. I think next time I would try ordering off the menu to see if the pacing is a little better that way. read more

Really wanted to enjoy this- it's been on my "list" forever! The circus theme and atmosphere were super fun but that's pretty much what the 2 stars are for. The service was lacking - we probably were spoken to 5 times total and waited forever to even get menus and make a drink order. The food was pretty disappointing, especially for the price. Ordered two cocktails, the arugula salad, gnocchi vodka, and eggplant parm. Everything was really salty and nobody ever came to ask if we wanted more to drink or bring the bread we asked for with our salad so it was kind a tough meal to get through. Ended up skipping dessert because we knew it would probably take forever to get the check. Also didn't even get offered any of the circus popcorn :( overall will probably not return. Fun if you don't care about food quality and just want a theme night out. If you were specifically looking for good Italian food, there are better tasting/better quality and less expensive options within 15 minutes that I would recommend over this read more

Excellent food, attentive staff and exquisite decor. This place is an entire amazing experience! You have to see for yourself!

I'm from Jersey. Born and lived there half my life. I would NEVER have chosen this restaurant if my sister didn't like basic Italian food but this is her bday so I chose this place cause the menu looked simple. Food is... it's alright. Just alright. It took forever to be served. We put our orders in almost immediately and it took about an hour to get our food. Also, EVERYTHING IS OVERPRICED. $30 for some fuckin chicken param with NO PASTA?!? Disgraceful. Everything is Ala Cart which is almost the dumbest thing I've ever heard for an Italian restaurant. That shit would never fly in any self-respecting Italian American neighborhood. I mentioned this and the manager took the extra pasta off and comped my drink. I didn't ask for her to do that but she did and that was very kind of her. That was a $20 discount. We got an antipasto dish...but it was disgusting! It was just olives, this gloopy pesto, and artichokes with Parmigiano Reggiano... but get this, NO BREAD? Nothing to freaking eat any of that with. It was sooo odd. We asked for bread but never got it. They were BLASTING music like a club, I couldn't even hear what my sister was saying across the table from me and the staff seemed more concerned with being charismatic than they were doing their jobs. Now I will say this. The dessert was phenomenal. Best creme Brule I've had in years. All in all. To someone who doesn't know much about Italian food and doesn't care much about the taste, service, or ambiance...go here. To those who give a damn about their dining experience, steer clear. I spent $200 there that night and really feel like I don't have much to show for that but a delicious dessert experience. Which may be worth it in the long run, idk yet And Gale P, if you read this, your responses to these reviews are so unprofessional. You need to find something better to do, love. Like improving your service and the quality of the food provide your guests. UPDATE: Changing it to 1 star cause the manager Gail is rude. I never said YOU were kind. I said you did something kind. Again, find something better to do. read more

First, let me just say that I would totally come back and I highly recommend this for dinner. Now, the owner, Gail, has put her heart and soul into this restaurant. Much respect is due to her and the chef and the servers for creating ambiance, excellent food, and thoughtful service. The party of 6 that I am with agrees that the decor is festive and unforgettable with lots of special touches that are all the way cute. We had reservations for 5:30, enjoyed everything that was placed on the table from the time the bread was brought, wrapped warmly and enough was given to our table. I ordered the Caesar salad. It has a tangy dressing, and is served with crostini instead of croutons. Delish! Then, for the entree I had lobster ravioli. O-em-all the way-G!! It was light, covered in a flavorful cream sauce, and taste entirely authentic. Authentic, as in, ravioli was made and cut this afternoon with great care and filled with ingredients that were made moments before the dish was put in the oven. So, the vibe was all love themed because it's February. PERFECT for the birthday girl that we're celebrating today and for the sweethearts that are celebrating Valentine's Day. The dessert has everything good going for it. I had my fave, crème brûlée, and it is gently sweet but not overdone on the custard, which I prefer. Someone ordered a cannoli and loved it. The best surprise came to us, though, an Amore e Amore version of fresh bananas foster with gelato and enough for the 6 of us to each try. Like I said, the owner is intentional, attentive, and there's not a button for that And the vibe got even BETTER at 8 pm when the music kicked up and the hits from the 80s and 90s started to fill the restaurant. No need to go anyplace else, the party's right here!! read more

Amore E Amore - Lobster ravioli that was prepared to perfection. The portion was right, but I definitely wanted more because it was SO yummy!! - Italian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Why would y'all put an empty lobster tail on my plate? Then have the audacity to put 3 small, cut up pieces of lobster in the actual dish. I have wanted to try this restaurant for 2 years and it was such a disappointment. The food was average in taste. Unnecessarily pricey at times. My friends ordered chicken Parmesan and Piccata. To add pasta to these dishes was an additional cost. The text they send to confirm your reservation is a bit overzealous and down right rude. I should have canceled then. On a lighter note, the wait staff was very attentive. I really would love to try them one more time but I honestly don't think I can. Nice decor! *****REPLY***** Gale at what point was it stated or implied that the meal should be free? Or are your reading comprehension skills just that poor? Which is a weird comment to post in and of itself considering your restaurant wrongfully placed two extra ($17/per) drinks on our bill. In no way are you interested in any constructive criticism. In fact you use gaudy decoration to cover up the fact that the food at your restaurant just isn't good. Your responses are unoriginal, pathetic, and riddled with racial undertones. I am glad however that future potential patrons can see these reviews and more importantly see your responses. I just know some will reconsider ever booking a reservation as we unfortunately did. read more

Food is good but they require everyone in the party to get an entree, which I didnt love. We enjoyed the bisque as an appetizer. We got the lobster ravioli, osso buco, and fish as entrees.
