One of my favorite restaurants to visit when I come home. This place is always consistent. Everyone seemed to be working together to service the tables which was nice. Julia was adorable. Very sweet! I went with my mother my aunt and my daughter and we all loved our entrees. My daughter had carbonara and they accommodated her request to add peas. My Aunt had fish francese my mom had chicken and I had chicken francese . The veggie and potatoes were outstanding. Can’t wait to return.

Food was absolutely amazing. I went on a Monday night with a friend. Service was attentive yet not invasive and did not rush us at all. BYOB is great so you can enjoy what you like with your meal. Parking is taken care of by the free valet service. I highly recommend if you are looking for flavorful, excellently prepared Italian food. Please note that pricing is because we had appetizer and dessert.

It’s great taste of almost everything we’ve ordered for 3 ppl. But serving is too American: too much of everything on a plate, gigantic portions, risotto (which of course is not risotto, but overcooked rice) with short ribs, and whipped cream on tiramisu. It’s not Italian restaurant, but American-Italian. Then it would be strong 5 stars.

Phenomenal!! The food here is excellent!! And so many incredible gluten-free options. The gluten-free pizza and pasta here is amongst some of the best we’ve ever had and I’ve been gluten-free for 18 years. The service is fantastic! Anything you ask for they respond quickly. The owner Mark is a superstar. So friendly and welcoming. He treats you like he is inviting you into his home walking around chatting with all the customers. Loved this place! We will be back for sure. Thank you Mark and Cafe L’Amore.

Looking for a quick bite, I mistook this place for a local pizzeria. Overall, I was definitely impressed and glad I didn’t leave when I realized it was a sit down restaurant. I ordered the chicken l’amore with fries, which I thought was delicious. To compliment the meal, as an avid coffee drinker, I finished off with a cappuccino, which I enjoyed!

Great food, great service. The stuffed artichoke is the best. BYOB and enjoy! We live in Florida and every time we come up to visit our children we make a point to have a great meal there.

Three bad experiences have lead me to make a review. They can’t seem to get it together at the counter. With the combination of being over charged and or losing phone orders. The food hasn’t been good enough for me to keep quiet. Management tries to make it right but doesn’t seem to have the ability or follow through to do so. I have to stop going here. Maybe it’s different when you sit down at the restaurant but the pick up/delivery is a mess. They seem like good people and I hope they get better with this issue
