Our party of 5 walked in and we greeted a man sitting at the host desk in his phone. We asked if they were still open and he looked at his phone before replying "ya we close in like 9 mins". Feeling like an obvious inconvenience we decided to thank him and look for a place "still open". We drove up the road and ate at Brick Oven pizza.

After reading some of the negative reviews, it's obvious they were made by people who never stepped foot in the restaurant and had political issues with the owner.

Portions are sharable. The staff was SOOO friends and helpful. Everyone was busy but so polite and nice. The other two dishes, they said didn't have much specific flavor. The shrimp was small size and the pasta was cooked well, just didn't have any seasonings that stood out. The hummus was good and flavorful. The bread was great too. Just those two pasta dishes lacked distinct flavor. I will return I just won't order those two items. Check this place out. It's worth a stop.

We were sat next to the piano and it was way too loud to have any conversation so we moved to another table. Doughy bread was there. They serve their salads with dressing in non recyclable plastic ramekins. What a waste and lazy. After eating my salad there was a large puddle of water. They need to spin the lettuce after washing. Two Chic Parm and one Fettuccine Alfredo was standard. Not bad but nothing special. Chicken was a bit soggy to be honest. Alfredo was fine. Our server was very nice. He did a good job. The service vibe other than our nice server, was tired. Turning the lights up at 8:57 while guest still eating was honestly was a buzz kill.

They service complimentary bread but when we asked for some oil to dip she said she wasn't allowed to give us any but they had a pesto we could try, so we agreed to that, it was good except for it had a bit too much balsamic vinegar and the little side dish cost $3 My husband order a baked dish with stuffed shells and ham, the ham is just chunks of deli ham. I ordered the fettuccini Alfredo, they were generous with the Alfredo, something about the noodles was different, maybe they were homemade? It tasted fine except for being bland but I added some of the pesto and salt and pepper to help it out and it was ok. They had a variety of dessert but we didn't try any. The cleanliness was ok.... The music was a touch loud. Overall it was ok and I wouldn't steer you from it but not to say it's just amazing either. I suggest you go and make your personal judgement.

The complimentary bread and butter was fresh and delicious. Overall, the restaurant's atmosphere is nothing special. The service was okay, with the reasonably low-priced food being the real draw here.

Amore was eager to make their menu work for us and their server and chef were both diligent in insuring safe choices. She ended up with the veal piccata without flour (and unfortunately without capers too because their capers were seasoned with garlic) over gluten free pasta. She was very pleased. I had the shrimp scampi: nice size firm shrimp perfectly prepared, an excellent option. We began with a Caprese salad, as tasty as it could be when tomatoes are hardly at their peak, attractively presented. Because of the liquor supply difficulties in North Mississippi following the ice storm, they were out of our first two wine selections, but we ended up with a Cabernet Sauvignon that was more than adequate. The decor is simple: tables, booths, and a bar, with posters and videos of Italy that may have seemed insignificant to many/most, but after 2 extended trips to Italy we enjoyed looking at the visuals and reminiscing. Prices are reasonable, our tab just over $90 before tip.

Highly recommend asking to sit in his section. The food was amazing. I got the Ravioli Florentine and I've never tasted something so good!!!! The creamy sauce was bursting with flavor. Scallops and shrimp were cooked to perfection. I only wish they used full sized scallops instead of baby scallops. Oh and their bread!!! It's just yeast rolls but whatever garlic buttery topping they brush it with is so flavorful! It was my first visit here but it won't be my last.
