My husband and I went to try this place last night and we thought it was lovely. It's a small dining room, cozy, but has these great windows so you can see downtown. We made reservations but I think because we went on a Wednesday evening, it wasn't super necessary. Our waiter was nice, attentive. They have decent wines on the menu and overall, the menu isn't too pricey. My husband had the margherita pizza and I had the Cioppino. He enjoyed his pizza. I loved my dish! It felt fresh and wasn't overly heavy. The presentation was nice, too. read more

Amore Mio Trattoria - Cioppino - Italian Near Me - Arlington, Texas

We went on a Friday night at 5:30 there was a large party in one room, but we were placed in another which had plenty of open tables. The place itself is big and very open and has a sophisticated feel to it that is still welcoming. Our waiter was extremely nice and he even made sure to take our order before the large party which was thoughtful. When you sat down everyone got a cup of ice water which they filled regularly. We ordered Arancini for an appetizer which came out quickly. It tasted amazing and the outside had a nice crunch while the inside was soft. The bread and olive oil was good too, the bread was warm and cut into small pieces which made it easier to dip. The oil also had balsamic vinger which really enhanced the flavor. For mains I got Mushroom Garlic Alfredo, it was not heavy on the garlic flavor at all. The mushrooms were amazing and there were plenty of them. The pasta tasted light and not like I was eating a lot of it, the sauce was also very creamy. For size I ate about half and brought the rest home. It also came with garlic bread which I took a bite of and was good, but I wanted room to eat the pasta. Overall, this place was fantastic and I 100% recommend it. The prices are very reasonable for what you get and service is also great. I loved my pasta and the the Arancini and so did everyone else at my table. read more

This restaurant handled our 8pm reservation for 15 people quite well. It was particularly impressive to see them stay afloat since another large group had arrived a little while before us. Service started off slow with 10-15 minutes passing before taking our orders, but they started handing out sides and appetizers 15 minutes later. Another 25 minutes passed before our main entrees rolled in one after the other. I opted for the chicken artichoke ($24). The portions sizes were adequate. Toppings (artichokes, mushrooms, tomatoes) get my thumbs up. Improvements: I wouldn't have minded more garlic sauce to make the dish creamier, but the overall consistency felt fine. Also, the chicken's texture felt a little mushy for my liking (Italians, please don't come for me if this is the way that authentic artichoke is supposed to be made). All in all a decent experience. I wouldn't call this a quaint place it doesn't have a lot of the old-fashioned elements you'd find in a trattoria. "Upscale" fits better with the modernized interior and higher menu prices. read more

I wish I could give Amore Mio Trattoria a better review, but I can't and be honest in my review. I really thought about the 2-stars, but that's all the visit warrants and that is pushing it. But I'll settle on 2 stars. This review is for a visit that was made the middle of November 2024. A group of "foodie friends" decided to meet up at Amore Mio Trattoria since none of us had ever dined at the restaurant. It was a Friday evening, and our party was one of the only diners in the restaurant. We'd all heard such wonderful things about the restaurant. Our group was excited to be get together there. The food was good, but the service was terrible. As slow as the restaurant was on a Friday evening, we all expected better service. Entrees were coming out really slow and one member of our party waiting over 30 minutes for their dinner while all of us already had ours. Our entrees were good, but in our opinion, WAY overpriced. 20% gratuity was tacked on to our ticket, totally understandable with our party, but the service we received didn't even warrant 10%. We even had to get up to fill our own water. There was a conformation with the staff telling us to leave, never come back and go to another restaurant. Sad, our group was expecting so much more, but it was just a bad experience all the way around especially for a $151 bill for two with a bottle of wine. read more

Service needs improving because I felt like we had to do everything ourselves. Even though they had almost nobody else in the restaurant. The server did not speak, did not offer drinks or refills. The server did not talk about the menu or what if there were any specials. No one asked how the food was after it came out. We had an issue with the service and the servers did not seem to care. No manager came out to see what the issue was. They had a 20 percent tip added onto the bill for so-called service since we had eight people. Our bill was 74.00 for two people, that was just one caesar salad and two pastas meals, no drinks no desserts since no one offered any. If you are going to add a 20 percent tip automatically you must have great service if you want people to come back. My meal, the pasta with mushroom and chicken, was okay. I like pasta, mushrooms and sauce. The chicken was a little tuff and chewy. The caesar salad was good the bread and oil were also good. read more

Amore Mio Trattoria - Chicken and mushrooms pasta. - Italian Near Me - Arlington, Texas

As mentioned in previous reviews, the service is meh but could've been better as we were the only one in the restaurant. The restaurant is very pretty and the ambiance is cozy and open but food is ok and WAY overpriced. First, my husband order was wrong and what he ordered doesn't justify the cost since menu said "Prawns" but it was not and it's only medium shrimp. Secondly, the manager was going to charge us for the wrong order and didn't apologize however our waiter was open and honest telling us that this was on the ticket. Kudos to him for doing that and truly taking care of his customers. I don't think we would be returning as there are better options for Italian food. read more

We arrived as a group on Friday at 7 PM to an almost empty restaurant. One of the meals came 30 minutes after the others, and my order was incorrect but still arrived before my friend's, which seemed forgotten. This created tension with the staff, which escalated when, after paying a check with a 20% automatic gratuity, the server's response was yelling for us to "Leave and go to Olive Garden!" We won't be back. The food was decent but overpriced at $30 a plate, with small meat portions and lots of leftover pasta, especially with the chicken Parmesan. read more

I enjoyed my dinner at Amore Mio. You can substitute any pasta dish with zucchini noodles if needed, like me, for an extra $4. The extra charge is pretty steep, but hey, at least there's an option if you're avoiding gluten. And my zucchini noodles were the perfect texture. I had the pesto "fettuccine" served with a housemade pesto cream sauce, which was reeeeally delicious. I'm a big pesto fan and this passed the test. Amore Mio is quite a pretty restaurant with super high ceilings, stark white walls, and floor to ceiling glass windows letting in plenty of natural light. It's very minimalist. I think I was only disappointed in the wine list, really. Our Simi cabernet was good, but this is the most upscale, romantic dining spot on Abram Street... we deserve to have more options and better options! read more

Great food and excellent service. Lunch prices were very good! Will try the dinner also.

We've been there multiple times and I can say we've never been disappointed! Excellent service by Israel... we've been lucky to have him every time. So personable and helpful. The food is fresh and delicious, atmosphere is great, kind of quiet and fun. You can tell the staff has fun in their job. Love the place. Go you won't be disappointed.... read more

Caesar salad is the best I've ever had. The service is very good. And they have lunch specials that are very reasonable.

Went to Amore Mio on a weekday evening with the family. Menu is limited but it allows them to focus on the dishes which we were all pleasantly surprised with. Everything tasted good but prices are a bit higher than most other Italian mom-and-pop restaurants in the area. The inside was designed nicely and it did pick up later in the evening but I don't believe they were staffed well since we only saw one waiter. He did a great job managing the driver service alone. You can park on the street or in the garage attached to the building! read more

Excellent chicken parm, great service, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely going back again!

Stopped in a couple of times the wine for the house blend is overpriced. The food portions were small and actually lack quite a bit of flavor on the fettuccine Alfredo and a couple of other things that we had. I hope they do well but it's not my cup of tea because Primarily portion doesn't match the price nor the flavor. read more

Dang, I really hate writing bad reviews but this place is BLINKING AWFUL. Let me start with the food is good, way over priced but good, it's the service that was what ruined this place for me and the rest of my party. On 10/25/2024 we decided to give this place a try with 7 friends. We arrived about 7:00 and were the only table in the house (BTW, this was a Friday evening so sad) a little later 2 couples came is so it's not like the place was packed. After a little time chatting we ordered our meals and all was going pretty well. When they brought out the meals they brought out 7 but there were 8 in our party. We assumed the last meal would be out in a few minutes but, as time clicked by, still nothing and not a word from the server. Everyone on our end of the table had not started eating our meals because it's rude to start eating before everyone is served. After about 10 minutes the guy what was not served asked the server, who finally came back around, she just said it was coming then walked away. At about the 20 minute mark, when she came back around, the guy just told the server to box up his order and bring the check. This just seemed to piss her off. At this time, we finally started eating our meals, which were pretty much cold by now, and the clock was still ticking on his meal. Although I didn't know the guy, we had met a couple of times, I was getting madder and madder at the server on his behalf and my meal was not only cold but completely ruined from my anger. About the 30 minute mark they finally brought out his meal. No apology no anything just a box in a plastic bag. By this time they had sent out a surly young man and I asked what are they going to do to help make this right. The look in his face was a pissy HOW DARE YOU (thought he might clutch his pearls). Finally he said they would give a discount which I said 100% correct? (He was not amused) I think in finally wound up being 50%. Finally we eat our meal, which was ok even cold. While eating, not once did a server come to our end of the table to check on us or offer water refills. So we were having to ration our water with the very rich meal. Then the checks came out and this is when the FUN really started. My husband had paid the bill without me seeing it. When it came back out I took a look and saw the mandatory 20% gratuity. I was commenting that it was ridiculous that we should be charged a tip when the service completely sucked. I guess the surly guy from earlier was standing behind me and he started yelling that if I didn't pay he would call the police (the bill was already paid). Now this really really pissed me off. Now it's time for me to clutch my pearls. He started yelling, I started yelling and to tell the truth this was not a pretty scene and the people at our table were not comfortable at all. I have never been yelled at by a server and the more he yelled the madder I got and the more I yelled. Not my finest hour but I'm not ashamed at all although I do apologize to my friends. We were the only ones in the place by this time. I realize that they have a mandatory gratuity with larger parties but I'm still pissed that we can get absolutely no service and still have to pay for the privilege of having a crappy evening. Apparently as we were leaving the waiter yelled "next time go to Olive Garden". I'm sure Olive Garden would have been a MUCH better choice so we might just do that. Needless to say, we will not be back. Plus having a total of 12 people of a Friday night, I doubt they will be around much longer. read more

I tried all their desserts, and I enjoyed them all a ton. The pastas are also good; I like the Chicken Cacciatore, Pesto Pasta, and especially their house-made Caesar salad with chicken. It's recently become a regular thing that I randomly stop by after work for a Caesar salad and dessert. The service is nice and so is the ambiance. I tend to sit at the bar, and they'll chat with me here and there, but I also always have my laptop out. read more

A quiet and delightful restaurant Unlike other reviews we had excellent service, food was delightful with pasta al dente!

First of all it was our first time that we entered into this establishment, our server was angel and he greeted us very kindly and explain things that were on the menu that we were not aware of. His suggestions were very well thought of after finding out what we liked and didn't like. The food was very very good the service was excellent and we couldn't have had a better server than Angel taking care of us. The only problem I had was that there was no lasagna on the menu but that was not the server's fault, all in all I would give at the highest rating I could, thank you very much we will tell our friends about it read more

Took my parents here twice for lunch and the food is great! Restaurant could use more staffing but doesn't deter from the experience. Food: Portions are very filling. Flavor is great. Dishes with sauces aren't too heavy. Pizza (prosciutto) is pretty good as well. No complaints here! Service: The restaurant is new and staff is low during lunch. However, waitresses were attentive and food didn't take long to come out. I will give them a pass on this because while staff is low, they do try. Location: The restaurants location is fantastic and very atmospheric. The big windows and the restaurant being at the corner of Abrams create a very open and pleasant experience. Overall: Nice to have a little Italian restaurant here in Arlington. Check it out! read more

My boyfriend and I went back in March and will be back! Everything was amazing.

We had a reservation here for my daughter's graduation celebration. We called after graduation ended and asked if our reservation could be bumped up by 2.5 hours. They were happy to accommodate. We ordered our food and maybe 7 glasses of moscato between my daughter and I. The Moscato was suggested by the manager. Excellent choice. The food was amazing. We had the creamiest Fettuccine Alfredo, and the most amazing Cesar salad. For dessert, pana cotta for me and a lava cake with luscious vanilla ice cream for the guest of honor. The staff are so friendly, accommodating, helpful and timely delivering food. The restaurant is modern and clean. The restrooms are clean and well-stocked. We'll be back. read more

I highly recommend their Fettuccine Florencia I called in the order to go. The gal was very helpful and boxed it up exactly how I requested. Sausage, Chicken, Sausage and Veggies separately from the Fettuccine Alfredo. My husband loves the Alfredo and I love the toppings. Very tasty. Looking forward to dining read more

The fettuccine Alfredo and the chicken parmigiana were good. The portions are big enough to share.

The owner is very nice! The food is great and you should take advantage of the lunch special because it is a very good price for the amount of food you get! Very cute inside, great for a date night or nicer dinner. read more

Had a mother daughter lunch date here and it was an overall amazing experience. From the food to the service to the ambiance. We got the pepperoni pizza and the primavera pasta.

Let me just say, service was great. I was treated like royalty, which was unexpected - really all he did was pull my chair back but still, that's like high class stuff right there. Caesar salad starter was great. I would come back here for the Caesar salad no doubt. I ate that up for real. But their main dishes? Awful. If this is what "real" Italian food tastes like, I don't want to go to Italy sorry. The pasta and presentation was seeping with oil, and all I could taste was vodka. Their vegetarian pizza was too dry and flavorless. Dominos and Pizza Hut make better pizza than this! I'm disappointed :( read more

The tiramisu is beautiful and excellent. It isn't overly sweet. I would order from them again.

Amazing food & amazing service !! highly rec the mushroom alfredo pasta. so yummy and flavourful!

If you're looking for the best pasta in Arlington, look no further. The Ciopinno is my absolute favorite, and it has officially ruined seafood pasta from anywhere else! All sauces and pasta are made in-house, and I'm always so happy when they bring out the extra garlic bread with olive oil and vinegar. My boyfriend's dad (shout out Daniel!) introduced us to this place. Though the decor is a bit hollow, they do have live music on some weekend nights and the owners are truly passionate about their food. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, including their pizzas (which are also made in-house with pizza ovens)! Definitely give this place a try. The prices are steep, but the portion sizes are large. If you're an Italian food fan, this is a must try in Arlington! read more

Amore Mio Trattoria - a plate of pasta and clams - Italian Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Downtown Arlington needs new restaurants so I'm glad this place opened. The dining room is spacious with lots of natural light, and there are many seats at the bar. They also have a beautiful staircase and upstairs seating. Service was great but the food wasn't very good. The chicken parm was covered in mushrooms, peppers and onions. I prefer a rich marinara sauce. The pizza was good but salty. The Cesar salad was very good. I think they're going for a fine dining experience but there are no menus, just QR codes. The check is digital and the owner/manager didn't come out of the kitchen. For two people, including a bottle of wine, our total bill was $144 including tip. They only offer two beers - Stella & Peroni $6.50. Amore Mio Trattoria would be a great restaurant for a rehearsal dinner, graduation dinner or birthday party. There are lots of Italian restaurants in the area that are less expensive and have better food. I don't expect to go back but try it if your in town. read more

I've been craving Cioppino for awhile and have finally found a place that satisfied my cravings! Nice semi classy but quaint place in the heart of downtown Arlington. Will be coming back for sure with the wife and kids. The wife loves Italian cuisine and she'll definitely like this one. Me and a few of the buddies came for dinner after work and everyone approved! Dishes had very tasty creamy sauces and we had to ask for extra bread! Our server was a sweetheart and attentive and accommodating even though she's had a very long day. She was exhausted but still chatted and joked around with us. A must try if haven't!!! read more

Weird vibes from this place. We were greeted at 8pm on a Saturday night by a host/waiter having to open the locked door for us, and proceeded to give us a weird speech about having/making a reservation, but then allowed us be seated anyway without one. We were sat next to the door and overheard that he gave this same "Oh! No reservation?" Speech to the other 3 parties that came in after us (who probably also didnt have a reservation). The waiter said he would bring bread after he filled our waters and forgot to bring our table bread :-( there were also no appetizers on the menu. Both the pasta dishes that we chose were both 2/5 stars. Eggplant parmigiana and pesto fettuccine were both pretty bland, lacked salt, and flavor for $18 each. Sauce on the eggplant dish was pretty watery and the vegetables were undercooked and lacked seasoning. There was also no salt or pepper on the table to add. Pesto was overly creamy, seemed like it was missing something because it was so bland. They also only offered spaghetti, fettuccine, and linguine pasta dishes which seemed limited for an Italian place. The front door doesnt close all the way and every time someone came in/left (every 5-10 minutes) it would stay cracked open, letting the wind/cold in, until we either got up to close it or asked the waiter to. I was confused as to why they didnt have a sign on the door asking people to make sure it was shut, because they seemed to know this was an issue? Service was just okay. But expected more from a fancy Italian restaurant. read more

Okay ... we went to Amore Mio on 2/14 - was not a good experience. It's a cute place! Cute and sterile - seriously spotless which is fabulous but with that being said - not very inviting. Wish they would maybe add some tablecloths, tapestry, just something to make it a bit more cozy but ... at least it was clean!! We started with an appetizer, side salad, and a bottle of wine. All were great ... and then it went downhill. Not sure if it was the server or kitchen problems. Now, I know it was Valentines but when we arrived there were only about 6 more people. We asked our server for bread 3 times and he kept saying they were running low and working on it (everyone else was getting bread). We ordered dinner (still not crowed at all but starting to fill some seats). We waiting 45 minutes after ordering and still no dinner (3 other tables than came in about the time we ordered got their food - one even ate, paid, and left) stillllll waiting (BTW-our server never came back to our table). We talked to who appeared to be a manager - ended up leaving with no dinner. The man pretty much begged us to come back and try it again sometime ... I mean he could have at least offered to cover our little appetizer just to be nice but nope - nothing! We won't be back ... it's not at all about the money - but at least make an effort if you want to attempt to retain customers. read more
