I had called ahead to ask about special dietary needs and was assured it would not be a problem. However, when we inquired about vegetarian options, he was not willing to accommodate us. Additionally, he refused to let us sample any wines, even though they were served by the glass. I will never return to this restaurant. The food was mediocre at best.

Unfortunately, the welcome was lacking as the owner/host was preoccupied with chatting to a friend who had just arrived. Despite there being only one other table occupied, we were directed to one of two tables. The food left much to be desired - my husband's order of Nonna's meatballs was bland and unimpressive, while my porchetta was dry, tough, and served in small portions with burnt crackling. The side of vegetables consisted of 3 mushrooms, 2 small slices of carrot, and 1 broccoli floret, all cooked beautifully. My pinot grigio was enjoyable, but my husband's Shiraz tasted old and musty, clearly at the end of the bottle with lots of sediment. The bill came to $90, and overall, it was evident that there was little care or attention put into the dining experience at Amore.

It is small and cosy and as soon as one walks in the door the feeling of being in Italy is real. It was a Monday night and finding any restaurant opened on this day of the week was always going to be a challenge. We got lucky finding Amore. We ordered two large plated entrees of chorizo, stuffed olives with crisp bread and a half metre long bruschetta with 3 different toppings. All was fresh and tasty. For mains we ordered the Linguini with zucchini and prawns, fettuccine with beef ragu, Linguine Allo Scoglio (spaghetti with seafood) and 2 dishes on the specials board. All our meals were magnificently prepared and the tastes were sensational. Portions were considered generous. All staff were helpful and attentive. This restaurant is now licensed. Can highly recommend but one must book to get a table. We will definitely return.

An Italian/ Australian family owned restuarant/cafe with great tasting dishes, licensed and with a cheerful and engaging staff all professional and dedicated Italian chefs waiting staff. Be prepared that the owner and chefs break into Italian song when the mood and song playing is right! Fantastico!
