I wanted to wait before writing this review because I felt it was important to take some time to process what I witnessed. I have now visited Amore three times, sitting in the bar area with a friend each time. My first experience was wonderful. The atmosphere was relaxing, the music was great, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. I left genuinely impressed. Unfortunately, my next two visits were completely different. On my second visit, there was a woman I was later told was a manager. What I witnessed from her was honestly shocking. She was loudly and aggressively speaking to staff members, including someone she referred to as her daughter, in a way that came across as belittling and disrespectful, all within full view and earshot of guests. My friend assured me this wasn't normally the atmosphere at Amore, so I gave it another chance and returned the following weekend. Unfortunately, I witnessed the same type of behavior again: yelling, talking down to employees, and creating an uncomfortable environment in the bar area. At that point, it no longer felt like an isolated bad night. As a guest, I don't expect perfection, and I understand that restaurants can be stressful environments. However, watching employees be spoken to that way, especially by someone in a management position, made it difficult to enjoy the experience. That's disappointing because Amore has so much going for it. The food, atmosphere, music, and other staff have made some of my experiences there genuinely enjoyable. I hope ownership takes a serious look at what's happening during service, because stronger, more professional leadership could make a tremendous difference. Unfortunately, after witnessing the same behavior on two separate visits, I'm hesitant to return. read more

Such a cool place with a very nice vibe. Outstanding martinis, insanely good garlic bread knots. The escargot was so delicious, and my linguini and clam sauce was excellent. We loved this place and would most definitely recommend it! read more

The service was excellent. It feels like you are dining in a fancy mansion with the decor. Soft easy chairs and comfortable booth benches. The filet mignon was very tender. I would have enjoyed more than a quarter cup of mashed potatoes and the carrots could have been cooked two more minutes. But overall it was good. The cheesecake was superb. read more

Beautiful Italian restaurant on the lake in Conroe! I was impressed with the decor and the ambiance. The inside is so beautiful and I love all of the decor and the music. Our server was sooo sweet. As someone from CA, can I just say that the service and people in general in Texas are just the nicest and kindest people ever? I wish I got her name, she was lovely! Our food came out quick. I got the chicken parm with the penne pasta, my boyfriend got the pesto pasta with shrimp, and we also tried the famous garlic bread (which is famous for a reason by the way!) The garlic bread was so fresh and delicious. The dipping sauce sent it over the edge!! My chicken parm was very yummy, I was a little bit unimpressed by the penne and the bell peppers though I must admit. It looked and tasted a little bit like I made it myself. My boyfriend loved his shrimp pesto pasta! We finished the meal with some tiramisu which was the best I've ever had!! It was absolutely delicious and light and a perfect way to end the meal. Overall, I would recommend Amore when in the Conroe area. Perfect date night spot! read more

Great food and good prices. Servers are always attentive. Our go to place when we want a casual date night.

This was our first visit and we're overwhelmed by the hospitality, the menu and wine list. Enjoyed my linguine with clams. Took home as much as we ate. The decor was a very traditional upscale northern Italian. read more

Went to a conference in Conroe. Wanted a place close to Margaritaville that was locally owned. Lots to love about Amore Fine Dining. Went with a friend for a late dinner. They were so good about splitting our meal since neither of us was very hungry. Started with Burrata Cheese. Paired with fresh tomatoes with basil purée and tapenade olives, it was so delicious. The perfect start to a fun GNO. The Amore Famous Garlic Dinner Rolls are famous for a reason. Freshly baked rolls, toasted open-faced, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and garnished with garlic, parmesan cheese and served with bruschetta sauce. Sooooo good!!! Split the Chicken Veronese / Veronese Di Pollo. The fresh chicken breast sautéed with tomato, artichoke, and mushrooms in a lemon garlic cream sauce is usually served with asparagus and mashed potatoes, but we switched it up. I love really good gnocchi. Their Four Cheese Gnocchi is really, really good. So glad that we were splitting, because their gnocchi are also really, really rich. Would definitely make this substitution. Paired this with the Sautéed Spinach which was a nice balance against all of the other creamy Italian selections. Would highly recommend Amore Fine Dining for a fun GNO, date night or family dining. The restaurant is spacious with lots of cute nooks and crannies. Service was top notch. Easy to get a last-minute reservation or walk in on a Saturday night, unless you want to sit in the bar which was quite lively and booked up. read more

Always a top notch experience at Amore. Fine dining with family friendly vibes. Enjoyed a birthday dinner for my adult daughter with her 6 year old, her husband, one of our sons, my husband and myself. The special garlic rolls are a family melt in your mouth favorite. Everyone enjoyed their entrees and we got the seal of approval for spaghetti and meatballs from my grandson. read more

It's absolute shit. We went there last night with my wife and my four-year-old son for my wife's birthday. Immediately we had red flags, everyone in there was over the age of 70 no taste buds. It looked exactly like an episode of Gordon Ramsay's save a restaurant show. our waitress as sweet as she could be, no professionalism, as you expect from fine dining prices. we got the garlic bread and a lobster bisque. It was OK. Tons of garlic though my wife ordered the scallops and I, the two rib pork chops everything covered in garlic scallops were cooked till dry and l so were the pork chops We had a bad time in our bill was over $120 read more

As always, an amazing dinner with family! Our waiter Joey was very attentive (great service) and the food was excellent!

What absolutly amazing family run resturant with excellent quality food. This was my first time here for a private party and we had the best server. Jose knew the menu, gave great recommendations and provided exceptional service. The private room made the experiance for a large group feel very quaint and intimate. Honestly felt like a family meal at home but with food that made everyone quiet. The kitchen had the food perfectly timed to the table and so flavorful. Wine and spirit selection will not disappoint and staff knowledge will help guide your experience. If you are looking for a nice romantic evening out, special occasion, impress a client or just want to get your foodie on, Amore is the place. I can't wait to try other dishes. read more

Hands down the finest dining experience on Lake Conroe! If you are looking for a special splurge dining experience then Amore needs to be on your list. Incredible raw bar, appetizers, and the entrees are perfection. Lots traditional Italian specialties, but do yourself a favor and explore the menu! You will be glad you did. Topping everything off is incredibly knowledgeable and professional wait staff. Oh and it overlooks Lake Conroe. read more

Absolutely my favorite restaurant in the Conroe area. Fine dining and spirits. The atmosphere in the bar was perfect with a wonderful singer named Tati Dior. We enjoyed the mixed seafood grill and chicken Marsala with some lovely cocktails while Ms Tate sang some wonderful soft tunes creating a magical night. We had the creme brûlée and cappuccinos for dessert. Our server was a sweet young lady from Florida and her pleasant attitude was welcoming from the start. We eat here about once a month as it is a bit of a drive and we are never disappointed. The prices are very reasonable and the fresh pasta dishes are always classic Italian. The bar has the best balanced cocktails in Conroe. read more

I was not impressed with this restaurant. I hand the Mediterranean Red Snapper and added scallops. Both the fish and sallops were over cooked. The texture was tough and not enjoyable. The people in my party that had pasta dishes seemed to enjoy their meals. Our waiter was great and the garlic bread was good. The atmosphere could have been romantic if the food was better. read more

Five stars is not enough!! Amore is possibly the BEST restaurant in the Houston area! I don't say that lightly but whatever you look for in a fine restaurant, you'll find it here: a warm intimate decor, a great bar where I saw a bartender spend several minutes meticulous finishing a beautiful crafted drink, a great staff that treats you like they've known you for years, delicious food served perfectly, an old world Italian owner-chef named Alfred, who is obviously and deservedly proud and caring...AND an unbelievably wonderful singer named Kevin Weishaar on Friday and Saturday nights who sings the great American song book, and who would have been a star in the glory days of New York supper clubs. We walked in not knowing any of this and enjoyed one the best nights we've ever had at a restaurant. read more

Amore Ristorante - Kevin and my wife, Debbie, at Amore - Seafood Near Me - Montgomery, Texas

Not a great experience for us. We went for New Year's Eve. The menu was very limited, which typically is fine. Unfortunately, here there were maybe six items and all except one was over $65. Still ok, not great, but ok. Our two biggest reasons for the two stars? An Italian restaurant with no pasta. Entrees served with mashed potatoes. When we asked questions about the menu a very rude waitress said they had to flip 400 covers tonight so kitchen wasn't going to be able to handle it. Hmm pretty easy to churn and burn pasta and sauce. Just ask the Italian restaurant we did end up at in Pine Market. read more

Past by Amore numerous times while shopping and exploring our new home town and this restaurant caught my wife's attention so we stopped in for dinner one evening. We ordered a couple of martini's and enjoyed the delicious garlic dinner rolls as we perused the menu. My wife settled on the Chicken Alfredo and I went with the Blackened Flounder. Both meals were absolutely outstanding. The flounder in particular was something I had not had in a very long time and this fish was only made better with the garlic cream sauce. We ended our evening with a piece of their decadent and delicious chocolate cake. I can't say one bad thing about Amore. Our waiter was great and provided some of the best service I have had in a very long time. The meals were perfectly presented and well worth the price. The décor was traditional yet classy and provided a very warm and inviting atmosphere. There is a quaint little bar in the front of the restaurant that I believe has live piano music and we will be stopping in to check it out in the future. If you have not tried out Amore yet, I highly recommend stopping in for a romantic evening and a great meal. read more

Four of us went to dinner this past Saturday. The restaurant appeared to be extremely clean...which I truly look for in a restaurant. The service was really good as well. Although we enjoyed the food, it wasn't excellent, and my dish seemed fairly salty. It had capers so that might have caused it. We felt the prices were a bit high though. The bill for four garlic rolls, four entrées, two wines and one iced tea was about $185. With the $35 tip, it totaled over $220. I would recommend the restaurant, but be prepared to spend a bit. read more

Service: to start the service was phenomenal! We had mentioned it was our first time so they showed us the entire restaurant and let us pick where we wanted to sit. We chose the bar but honestly I would have been happy with either spaces. The bar is smaller and more intimate. Food: the food was so good! I had the mushroom risotto and the texture was perfect and the shrimp were cooked to perfection and veined! I can't remember what my husband ordered it was a chicken dish but it was very tasty! We did get the garlic bread and holy moly! The bread was sliced and stuffed and it came with a dip that was truly spectacular! Overall: this place a beautiful, romantic, and very reasonably priced! We will go back again and again! Honestly I can't wait to go back and try something new. read more

Wanted to add a follow up review after my latest visit to Amore. It's still amazing! I wanted to add a few more photos after trying some ordering the sausage and gnocchi, which I couldn't yet find a picture of on yelp. So here it is! By the way, it was delicious. Similar sauce to the Lobster Capellini, so if you enjoy that dish you'll like the sausage and Gnocchi. The service here is always superb, and we ended up coming on a night with live music which was fun. We always appreciate a stop at Amore! read more

Amore is not your average Woodlands restaurant, so if you're looking for something unique, Amore might just be it. My husband and I have gone to Amore for dinner a couple of times now and each time has been memorable. The menu has a nice selection of traditional Italian dishes as well as a complementary wine list. Their wait staff is welcoming and attentive. We always ask to sit in the bar area so we can listen to the live entertainment which adds to the whole experience. There seems to be a solid group of regulars who share our enthusiasm for the music and if you're so moved, you just might find yourself dancing. read more

The service and food were absolutely amazing!!! The atmosphere was very beautiful as well!!

It was overpriced and not really fine dining. Made Valentines Day reservations, and when we arrived, a young lady greeted us with: What can I do for you? " Instead of welcome to Amore. Overall bad service, ambiance, food and parking. The parking lot is small and difficult to find parking. Parked way in the back behind restaurant. We were seated near the front door next to the piano. Could not hear ourselves due to the piano playing. People who came in after us got better seats in booths and in more desirable areas. People were constantly coming behind my seat, talking and making their way into the restaurant. Very unsettling. Food appeared to be from frozen food ( vegetables). Was told they could only cook steak medium rate ( should have placed those on the menu website). No dress code with folk coming in dressed inappropriately for "fine dining" This is a glorified Olive Garden at best. Food was bland. Bread was hard. Butter was stick hard. There was no garlic butter. read more

Amore has potential, but currently feels outdated. Its waterfront location could be a real draw, but the furniture and flooring need an upgrade to match the classy, elegant vibe it could have.

Why 5 stars? Because this is certainly the finest dining experience in Montgomery. --- --- --- To be honest, I don't think there's much competition in terms of fine dining in Montgomery, so maybe I should expand that statement to: One of the more memorable special occasion dinners my wife and I have had together. After moving to the area about 3 months ago, this was obviously our first anniversary dinner since we've lived here. For me, it was an obvious choice once I started doing some research on where we should go. The ratings were really great and the menu was full of several really amazing options. The one caveat is that you will need to be prepared to drop a few dollars here. Our meal came to $220 after tip and while we found it to be absolutely worth it, we unfortunately will not be able to visit regularly. When I called a few days earlier to make a reservation, the person who answered the phone acted as if I was an old family member who was coming to visit after being lost at sea for 20 years. When he asked if there was a special occasion and I said that it was for our anniversary, it sounded like he nearly fainted due to over-stimulation. And the service all throughout the night was excellent, including at the end of the meal when they brought us out a complimentary cheesecake, which was delicious. As for the food we paid for, the hot lobster roll was the absolute highlight of the meal for me. It was only on the lunch menu, but they were kind enough to make it for us anyway. We went a little crazy and ordered it as an appetizer to share because we wanted to try some other meals as our entrees. I strongly encourage anyone reading this review: ***Do not come here without ordering the lobster roll*** - I eat lobster rolls whenever I see them on a menu and this one is among the best, if not *the* best I've ever eaten. And it was a ton of lobster stuffed into it, which is usually the biggest gripe about lobster rolls - that there's barely any actual lobster in them. Not the case here. I will absolutely be coming back for lunch for one of these. Before I move onto the meals, I would be remiss to not mention the bread. It was excellent on its own, but what made it unique was that it came with a balsamic-type dipping sauce. I've never seen this before but now I'm wondering why it's not a thing elsewhere because it's a perfect pairing. Our entrees were seafood pasta (me) and Lobster Capellini (wife). Her pasta was a bit creamier/heavier, which I think I liked a bit more than mine. But mine had as much seafood as pasta, including a giant lobster tail - hence the $60 price tag. Both were very enjoyable, but my one gripe is a common one with higher end restaurants that was also the case here: living the tails on the shrimp. I'm not sure why places do this when it's so messy to pull them off, but again, this is a common thing for whatever reason. Our first anniversary celebrated in Montgomery was a memorable one - I can't wait to come back for lunch for that hot lobster roll! read more
