    I came here on early Sunday afternoon for the first time. It was a little busy but ordering was…read morequick and our pasta didn't take too look to come out. We did find seating and there is seating in the restaurant portion, as well as down the stairs. It's a cute little place in the heart of pike place. We got the lasagna casalinga, from the farm, and from the sea pastas. Lasagna casalinga: I love lasagna but I've never had a white sauce lasagna before. I really loved this and I loved it a lot more than I expected. It has peas, sausage, and mushrooms, made with in house bechamel sauce. I thought this might feel super heavy and rich since it was a cream sauce but it wasn't! It was creamy without the feeling of being "too much" when eating it! That's always my worry whenever I eat cream pastas or sauces, that I can only eat a few bites and then feel full bc it the richness. The mushrooms, pea, and sausage worked so nicely into the flavoring of the lasagna and the sausage was flavorful and seasoned well. I believe it's a pork sausage which in my option always tastes great. From the farm: this was my absolute favorite! I always lean towards ragu or bolognese sauce, it's my favorite dish because the flavors become so pronounced during the cooking process. This was a bison ragu with perfectly al dente rigatoni. The bison wasn't gamey and pair so nicely with the ragu because it was able to get in all the crevices of the pasta. We opted for burrata as a topping which gave a really nice creaminess From the sea: this was a spaghetti with rockfish, pea vines, leeks, and harissa. The pasta felt a little Asian inspired, in Chinese cooking we steam whole rockfish and pea vines are a very common veggie dish, so I loved that the elements made me think of my culture. The harissa also gave it a spicy kick which was reminiscent of having chili oil or chili paste on the side at dimsum. While I loved the flavors of this it wasn't my favorite because it was a bit too light. I really wished the flavors were bolder and more pronounced. Rockfish/white fish is very mild fish so the taste is very dependent on the flavors you add to it. However if you like light flavors and fish that isn't too fishy, this is great! This is a really fresh dish so even though it wasn't my favorite doesn't mean it's not a great pasta! I can't wait to come back to try the next rotation of pastas!

    This place has been in my bookmark for awhile and finally got to try it. It's not hard to find but…read moregot confused a bit to find it at the beginning. There weren't a lot of people that day, we had the whole place to ourselves. The guy who took our order had so much patience to explain each pasta. I got the from the sea and my husband got Pomodoro. I really liked my husband's pasta and it was so fresh! It cooked al dente and the pasta sauce seasoned so perfectly. My husband never a huge fan of al dente and he loved this place so much! He still talking about this place and won't stop talking about it. Mine of the other hand was okay; the taste is kinda odd to me, and it's kinda too salty for my liking. The fish were so small, like tiny pieces, I wish its bigger. My personal favorite of my dish is the Al dente part and the pea vine. Other than that mine was meh. The whole place is sooo cute and definitely a cute date spot!!!

    A few years ago, my spouse and I were introduced to this restaurant. The restaurant was a host for…read moredining out (a fundraiser to support organizations that provide community services). I was quite taken by the restaurant. It even hosts a wonderful view of downtown Seattle and a peak of the Puget Sound. The restaurant is small and intimate. This Italian-style restaurant served one of the best meals I had at the time. So when the opportunity to return came, I wanted to run there from my home. We were immediately shown to our table, and drinks arrived with little effort. One thing to watch for is that they offer sparkling water or tap water. It is easy to think of it as an option, but the sparkling water is a few bucks by the bottle. With four people, it is easy to go through a few bottles quickly - this is my weakness since I have replaced soda with sparkling water. We began with cheesy flat bread and baked goat cheese. The cheesy flatbread was amazing and delicious, and the baked goat cheese was out of this world. I can honestly say that I did not know what to expect, but the baked goat cheese with Taro chips was delightful. What is a trip to an Italian restaurant without a Caesar salad? I added grilled shrimp that were just wonderful as well. This Caesar had a creamy dressing, croutons, and shredded parmesan. The dressing was not overwhelming, but the croutons were a bit hard and difficult to chew. I would give it a B-. I had the PENNE SPECIALI ( mesquite-grilled chicken, spinach, tomato, mushrooms, white wine butter sauce). The description of this dish was better than the flavor. Salt is a flavor enhancer, but when you add it to the dish after it's been cooked, it's like lukewarm coffee - it's okay, but you would have preferred it hot. For dessert, I had the caramel, chocolate custard with chocolate sticks. This was heavenly, and I would eat 100 more. This is a dessert worth the wait, and I do not advise you to share because you will get less. It was the perfect finish. One secret restaurateurs must know is that ambiance, setting, and conversation enhance the food experience, but if the food does not complement the other parts of the experience, something is lost. This place has everything: the view, service, and dining intimacy. Why leave the main dish out of the experience? I want to want to come back like I did the first time I fell in love with "That's Amore."

    While visiting Seattle I kept going back and forth on where to have my birthday dinner. I finally…read morechose That's Amore and it ended up being the best decision. We were a group of 5 and they accommodated us with no problem. Everyone was so welcoming. The place is cute and cozy and you can truly taste that everything is made from scratch. We ordered a variety of dishes and not a single one disappointed. Every plate was cleaned and our tastebuds were dancing. Since it was my birthday they brought out a slice of tiramisu. I usually do not even like tiramisu but theirs completely changed my mind. I shared it and everyone loved it. Honestly the best I have ever had. Beautiful views too. I will definitely be back the next time I visit Seattle.

However, each time I have been there since then, I've met different employees, and each have been equally friendly and welcoming. I would never have expected it at an ordinary looking pizza place like this, but the staff here make my day a little brighter each time I eat here. Pizza is good - I like how they have some unusual toppings like pistachio, although I admit im partial to pagliacis crust from across the street. The garlic knots though... those remind me of my childhood. They're chewy, buttery, and definitely not healthy... but yummmmm. For the price, I think the pasta portions are a little small, but I usually stick with the pizza here anyway. Pro tip: their amici club is actually worth joining - there are some good offers from time to time. That plus Costco sells tutta bella gift cards. Buy those gift cards when they go on sale at Costco, and you will get a great value.

The pizza itself was pretty good and full of flavor. The meat quality was solid, and it's nice that you can split two flavors on one pizza. Their salads and dressings are always on point too. My only downside is that I'm not the biggest fan of the thin or floppy center of the pizza, but aside from that, the service was great and the vibes were good

The cheese is rich and sharp with a deep flavor, and the pasta is cooked just right so it stays creamy without turning mushy. It has that slightly baked finish on top that adds a nice texture.

It's no wonder why this place is a local and visitor favorite! I can still taste the deliciousness of Smoked Salmon Mac & Cheese...everything in it just works!!

The size is perfect and the bread was toasted nicely. It had a good crunch on the outside. I'd say some of the meat was fatty but that fat was cut in bite sized cubes so I didn't mind it. Very filling and tasty flavor. Good filling to bread ratio in my opinion. The customer service was also amazing. Such kind ladies behind the counter and quick and easy service. I'd order here again.
