Decent Italian fare, wood fired pizzas and pasta dishes. They have also partnered with the place next door to offer a selection of Indian food recently. Good for a date night or family gathering, with tables inside and out. Pricing is a little on the high side, likely due to the area. read more

Been in twice; once for lunch and once for dinner. Lunch was good. Shared a salad and panini. Their iced tea is flavorful. Service was friendly and attentive. Restaurant has seating inside and out. Portions of the inside could use a good cleaning/dusting. After a couple of days from visiting for lunch, I noticed my credit card was mischarged. They quickly found their mistake and invited me for dinner and a free entree. I came in for dinner and we opted for the Indian menu, as we are great fans of Indian cuisine. We started with samosas. They were a little dry but tasty. Our entrees were chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, and saag paneer. The saag paneer had to be remade as it was watery and tasteless. The second try was less watery but still lacking flavor and depth. Something was definitely missing. Their butter chicken was made with dark meat, instead of the normal white meat. Overall, I think an Italian restaurant trying to also have authentic Indian dishes is a stretch and things are getting missed. I'll definitely return but will try some of their Italian dishes instead and see how those are. read more

Terrible pizza! Crust didn't look like the photo on their website and had no taste (hand tossed? I doubt it). Very little cheese, and again, no taste. The sauce was a smear of red stuff on the crust. Website talks about the Owner/chef having a background in developing Indian restaurants. Maybe he should go to NY or Chicago (or Italy even) to learn how to make great pizza. read more

We ordered take out and the food was delicious! The manager was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and was able to give us solid recommendations and reviews. Will definitely go back for a dine in experience. read more

Great place. Staff is friendly, food is great and it's cozy. I love the pizza but other items I've had are equally as good! Last time had an espresso martini and some sangria along with the pizza. read more

I would rate our experience a 3.25/5. There was a fly that would not leave our table, constantly landing on us and our food. We couldn't get any drink refills and our server saw us once to take our order, once to deliver food, and once for the check. The service wasn't good. The food was actually yummy and not badly priced. I was disappointed they didn't have a cheese wheel like the other location, but turns out they are no longer owned by the same person. read more

Really enjoy the Indian food here. We shared the Vindaloo with lamb and stuffed paneer naan. Delicious. Husband really likes the pizza too.

We frequent this place at least once a month and love it! Last night we had the best service and ordered our usuals: -Burrata Appetizer -Pizza (this time a Quattro for Maggio with pepperoni and olives) -Small garden salad with salmon The salmon is always cooked to perfection, the pizza crust is unmatched, and their wasabi ranch is our fave! They now offer the pizza wheel pasta and we can wait to try it! read more

Delicious pizzas and appetizers despite food taking a bit longer for our group (7). For appetizers, calamari and the wood fired bread were excellent. Meatball was ok. For pizzas and entrées, pepperoni pizzas are really good with a nice char burn at the bottom. read more

Called in a Checca pizza, well done, (I like some charring) to go order at 2pm on a Wednesday. Was told 20 minutes order would be ready. Walked in 17 minutes later to an empty restaurant. Server greeted me quickly & payment was made, pizza was served & off I went to my home nearby. Upon 1st appearance, the $16 Margherita pizza was undersized & underwhelming in appearance. 1st bite was delicious & I was amazed at the flavor from such a minimalist pizza. I wasn't impressed with the size or amount of ingredients but rather, the amount of flavor from the garlic oil & cheese on this simplistic Italian classic that is often underrated. A bit overpriced for me personally, but a fine pizza & staff experience nonetheless. I'll return for another meal for pasta. read more

Went for dinner. Called ahead and was able to reserve a table on our way in, which was very helpful! The restaurant got very busy shortly after we got there. Barely missed happy hour, but their discounts aren't that different from the main menu so we didn't miss much. The entrees are pricey and the food is OKAY. Ordered the eggplant parm which was pretty good! Also ordered a pizza that we didn't love, not as flavorful as we were hoping. Service was pretty quick. Would consider returning but maybe order different items. read more

Don't eat here. There are much better places. I was going to send an email but the email "manager@amoretucson.com" it's bouncing. Terrible pizza, they call olives in a can KALAMATA (hahahaha) The calamari were the worse I ever had. Do yourself a favor and eat there only if you're really hungry. read more

This was my 1st time at this location but have always enjoyed the menu at the swan location. The dining room seemed a little crammed as the chairs from the table behind us kept bumping into ours. The server was attentive and very friendly and got our food out quickly. I got calamari to start and chicken marsala for my entree, which is my favorite. Both were good and very filling. read more

This is my first time here on a Saturday evening. I've eaten many times at Vero Amore on Swan thinking it would be similar. The place is empty on an early Saturday . I ordered a beer and it was not cold! I didn't say anything I just added ice. My beautiful pizza came out warm to the touch and sent it back to be heated. I like my pizza hot! The place was clean but the help is marginal. I will not be returning. How can you get beer and pizza wrong?! Management needs to step in. read more

The service was good, and the atmosphere was lively, but not too loud. I have eaten here on several occasions, and each time I have requested a pizza extra crispy. On each occasion, the crust is a bit crispy but the middle has always been too soft, not doughy-just not crisp. Maybe next time, ill try another food item on the menu. read more

Amore - Margherita Pizza - Italian Near Me - Marana, Arizona

There was nothing to love here. We've eaten at our share of Italian restaurants and this is by far the worst experience we can remember. The wait staff were kind, but we did wait a while for our waiter to get our drink order. The dining room was small and crammed. But, these are things that I could get over if the food is delicious. When we ordered our food we decided to order our favorites that we always order at other Italian restaurants. We ordered Calamari for an appetizer, and for our main course we had lasagna and cioppino. The Calamari looked nice. It tasted good and tender. However, it was a bit stringy. Half would go down my throat while the another connected piece was still being chewed. So strange! I've never experienced that with Calamari before. We noticed the marinara sauce served with it was SUPER bland. Canned Ragú tastes 1000 times better than this sauce, and that's so sad. The cioppino... was not good. I've never had a cioppino that I was disappointed in until this one. Again, the tomato base was SUPER bland. There was no depth to it. It was like eating canned soup. I loaded it with salt and pepper (something that I never do) and had one of the waiters bring me grated Parmesan to assist this situation. That helped, but I would still never order again. The shrimp was the best part of that dish. The lasagna... we took a few of bites. My fiancé took 3 bites and then asked me to try it because he wasn't sure of what he was tasting. He said it had a metallic taste to it, for him. I took one bite and OH NO-it was BAD!!! That SUPER bland marinara was the first problem. Then, a flavor of old, bad, expired noodles came in. There was no way to eat that. Our waiter was SUPER helpful and took the dish away. He let my fiancé order a different menu item. My fiancé chose the pizza. The pizza was miles ahead in flavor and saved our dinner experience for the moment. The food there is just not what we prefer to treat ourselves with. We are so sorry that we used our dinner time and money on that food. I've had better fast food Italian food at Fizoli's (if anyone remembers that place. It was in Missouri). I also would have preferred to eat at the Olive Garden. This place doesn't hold a match to Oregano's. read more

Service and ambiance: fine. The Salsiccia pizza was embarrassingly skimpy. I understand it is Neapolitan style, but the "sausage" pizza had no more than two paper-thin nickel to quarter size pieces of sausage per slice. It wasn't even a full shave of a sausage- more like the knife slipped and only cut half of the sausage. It was so thin and scant that we couldn't taste the sausage at all. There was no more than a half inch of sliced sausage on the entire pie. There was a very light sprinkle of cheese - a few pinches here and there. The only topping we could taste was bell pepper. I would have been mortified to serve this to a customer or a guest in my home. $16 for this sad and ridiculous pizza. It was so over the top meager toppings that I wondered if we were on Candid Camera. They didn't even try to put out a decent pizza. Look at the photo. It's nothing like the other pizza photos posted from previous customers who had sausage crumbles and visible cheese. Will be surprised if this place is around much longer. read more

It was very good!! We ordered the Mediterranean pizza and the red pepper salmon and both were delicious. The red pepper salmon in particular had an amazing sauce that we both enjoyed.

I lived in India for two+ years and was married to an Indian man and prepared chicken tikka masala regularly. So I know exactly how it should look and what should be in it! I have never been so disappointed in a meal in my life. Apart from the Caesar salad being brown on the edges of the lettuce, there was not one piece of chicken in the chicken tikka masala! It was just a bowl of sauce and a plate of rice! I would never order that meal ever again at this restaurant. The service was good but the food was unacceptable! Not one single piece of chicken in the entire bowl! Either they have no idea how to cook Indian food or they were ripping the customers off with what they provided! Disgusting! This is what chicken tikka masala should be: "Chicken tikka masala is a dish consisting of roasted marinated chicken pieces in a spiced sauce. The sauce is usually creamy and orange-colored." THIS IS NOT WHAT WAS SERVED! If they would like me to come in and teach them how to prepare Indian food I'd be happy to do so! Because obviously they have no clue what they're doing... They should stick to pizza! read more

Food, service and vibes were excellent.. if you don't live out here it's worth the drive. My husband and I have the burata and we both ordered chicken Parm. I skip to the pasta because I'm not eating cost of these days but it was still very good and they were kind to give me Alfredo sauce rather than red sauce since I'm avoiding tomatoes. They didn't charge us any silly fees and the experience was 10/10. Will return. Ambiance was quiet and nice. read more

Amore - Hot husband eating chicken parm - Italian Near Me - Marana, Arizona

We ordered the bread appetizer and asked for a bit of balsamic vinegar on the side and they brought us soy sauce? I don't know how they mixed it up or why an Italian restaurant would have soy sauce readily available? Waiter was very busy and wasn't able to come to the table despite numerous attempts to call him over. Eventually we flagged down a different server who fixed the situation but by that time the bread was cold. The pasta was al dente and cold, Learn from my mistakes and get the pizza instead. read more

My family originally is from a city with an area called "The Hill" with many excellent Italian restaurants, so we have high expectations for Italian food. My mom and I were in the area at lunch time one day and decided to give Vero Amore a try. We were greeted by a friendly server and decided to sit out in the shaded patio. The server brought ice water and menus right away. I appreciated that they offer a lunch menu with smaller portions and prices. My mom ordered a lunch Cobb with Caesar dressing, and I ordered the lunch-sized pasta Pomodoro. The food came out promptly and the size was exactly what we expected - small. Both dishes were fine - nothing special, but not bad. The server, who seemed to be the only one scheduled that day, checked on us several times and made sure we had a good experience...even if the food was just ok. It looks like pizza might be their specialty, and we might try it if we're in the area. read more

Fresh and quality ingredients! Perfect for my date night as this Italian food was done right. Classy but casual. The seafood was cooked perfectly! Alfredo sauce was rich but not heavy. The roasted garlic and tomato pasta could be more rich. Our waitress was really on top of it all. Excellent beer and wine list. Overall solid food..solid service! read more

New owners. I'm guessing Sysco deliveries weekly and microwaves in the back. No chef in this place. The only fresh thing is the pizza. Service is horrible. It's a hot mess now. Too bad. This place used to be a weekly favorite. Better out there. Now they do Indian and wings???? Too much....These owners are clueless read more

Best pizza in Marana! I love the Indian food as well great restaurant. Cant wait to go back.

Tonight we carried out from Vero Amore-Dove Mountain. We had a wide variety of appetizers and entries. The clams and mussels appetizers are great size for sharing or would easily make a meal for an individual. The bread boule and the cheesey bread are a must. They are delicious with the heavily herbed butter and even better dunked in the mussels and clam liquor. The Cioppino was loaded with clams, mussels and calamari. The red sauce was well seasoned and complemented the seafood. Our kids had various pizzas that were fresh and handmade. The prices were an excellent value for the amount and quality. $13 to $28 per entree. There was one small snafu with the online ordering, but the manager was on hand to iron it out. I highly reccomend this restaurant and will definitely be a regular customer. read more

Terrible, the lasagna was made with very spicy Italian sausage. I like spicy food but what were they thinking? The prosciutto in the salad was so thick you needed a sharp knife to cut it! This place is on life support We need a good restaurant in Dove Mountain read more

Pretty standard American Italian restaurant. It's got a lot of seating and service has been good. They also have a nice patio area to enjoy. Pizza dough is a little doughy for my tastes but the pastas have been pretty solid. Not many options up at Dove Mountain so it's nice to have a glass of wine and a bowl of pasta nearby. Would not recommend the paninis as some others have commented, it's very bready. read more

Tasteless, pedestrian food. Ordered pasta marinara and pizza that was just awful. Has garlic bread that was sourdough bread from Fry's with just a sickening garlic spread. Vero was sold last year to new owners, and the quality has declined significantly. Last time getting food here. $55 wasted. read more

Disappointed with the menu and the meal was very bland, expected a better Italian meal experience.

Their menu shows a panini sandwich. I ordered it and it wasn't a true panini. It wasn't grilled flat . I was disappointed. I was told it was a panini when it was brought to my table but 'they use a different style of bread and they don't grill them flat' , uh? read more

We have been going here for several years. Service was good. Atmosphere is good. The flat bread is delicious. Must be under NEW ownership. The entrees have a bit to be desired for the price. The baked linguini is $22 and a side of meatballs is $6. It came out warm, not hot. We bought 2 entrees and 4 drinks (beer/Sangria) at happy hour price and ended up spending $90 plus tip. The value was not there. Better off with a box a pasta and Ragu for the quality and price. Regrettably read more

This was my first time here, and I went for lunch. Overall it was just average. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Panini. It was unlike any Panini I have seen before. It was basically a salad stuffed into a pita type bread. It was not pressed in a Panini Press at all. It was 90% lettuce and only 10% chicken. There was very little Caesar dressing on the "Panini". If you order this maybe ask for some dressing on the side and use to your liking. The air conditioning was broken when I was there so it was very warm inside. The Manager finally put up a sign on the door just as I was finished and leaving. Also, lots of flies. They must have propped a door open at some point and let them in. The atmosphere was decent and not busy at 1:30'ish for lunch. They do have a few good local craft beers on tap. I will give them another try in a few weeks hoping that the A/C issue is resolved by then, but will not be ordering the Chicken Caesar Panini again. Big disappointment. read more

Man what a little gem we found coming down to see my wife's family. The food was amazing! I got the Mediterranean pasta and I'd def get it again!

We will definitely come here again and tell others about it for sure! read more

12 years ago I posted a wonderful review for this place. The last 5 years have been a massive decline every time we order. The pizza use to be amazing in the past, now it's smaller the crust is different and sometimes burnt. The mozzarella is not fresh anymore. They use to give fresh Parmesan with your order, now it's the grated parm packets. The caprese salad no longer has beefsteak tomatoes or fresh mozzarella. This place use to say they were certified Napoleon food. I honestly don't think their certification is valid anymore. Don't get me wrong, it's still an average place food wise, but nothing like it was. I assume they got new owners or partners.... But something changed. We've been disappointed. Sad to see such a great place change. read more

Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. The uncut salad was served with bottled dressing. The two chicken dishes had pre-cooked overcooked chicken breasts not quite as chewy as beef jerky. The sauces were canned. The service was excellent and the ambiance was fine. But it was poor value for $90. Won't be back. read more

A step above Olive Garden..this is not authentic Italian. Pre-cooked linguini with diced tomato thrown on top..called baked linguini. Chicken parm lacked sauce and the fettuccine Alfredo was drowned in pepper. Not even fettuccine pasta rather linguini. They must have gotten a special on linguini through Amazon. By far the worst "Italian" food I've had in years. Was nowhere worth the $20-26 a meal price tag. Don't call yourself a Italian restaurant..have some integrity read more
