Thats Amore Italian Cafe

Wow, the food was on point! Salmon perfectly cooked, all pastas al dente and delicious, salt-a-holics will have to ask for salt, service was polite but SLOW. Also, watch your receipt, 20% tip was added to total for a 4 top. Excellent drinks and we were all so satisfied without even looking at the desert menu. This place is small and gets full quickly. Loved it!!

If we could give it 10 stars we would have! From the greeting, ambiance, food and service this restaurant is exquisite! The presentation of the food matched the flavor and can be described no other way than flavorful and devine! The locals may know of this place but we are considering it the best kept secret for travelers!

Very casual place. We were (literally) sitting on the curb opposite the front door of the restaurant. The sidewalk was between us and the row of tables outside the front door. I liked that ambiance, especially after the streak of hot days. Their wine menu had decent local vintages and a couple of lesser known Italian ones. The specials menu looked well-constructed, as is the regular menu. I loved their homemade egg pastas, and their rye bread is silky and soft. The wild boar ragu was a pretty rich ragu with four mushrooms and tasted like they had added a little meat during the long cooking and then a bit of shredded meat to bulk it up for a thicker consistency. It was pretty good, but a bit drier in flavor than a typical ragu. They must have used leaner meat. My husband ordered the classic Chicken Marsala and praised it as better than most he has had in a long time. Their portions were not overly generous, but just right. We finished with limoncello cheesecake, which I cannot recommend more. I think the one addition that they can have on their menu—especially in one of Seattle’s central neighborhoods—is a good, solid vegan option. For the style that their kitchen seems to cook with, I would think a white wine mushroom risotto with shallots, romanesco and a bitter green, like escarole or arugula, would fit the bill. Seriously, with the volume of nutty, flaky fruitiness here in Seattle, an actual vegan entree—not just an entree made vegan with vegan substitutes—should be a requirement. My vegan friend was not all that impressed, even as we were slurping down our dinner with gusto. His meal was rife with red chili flakes, which I have found to be a big no-no with most lifelong vegans I know, and probably was closer to a stir fry than an Italian dish. (Oh well. Next time maybe.) I’d go back. Definitely. And I wouldn’t feel awkward bringing friends from Italy with me for some darn good new American Italian cuisine.

I’m in town for business, and was looking for a nice restaurant to treat myself. That’s Amore Italian Cafe was the perfect choice! If you’re a bourbon drinker definitely get the “Not so Old Fashioned.” For food, I started with their bread and three compound butters, all of which were delicious! They had a special on mussels which were perfectly cooked and the broth was amazing, the truffle compound butter is also delicious to add to the broth. For my main, I went with the pork belly which was on another level, it just needed a splash of acid or touch of salt for the tartness of the cherry demi. I took the tiramisu to-go and wasn’t disappointed. The ambiance and view over the city is a perfect complement to the food!

This restaurant is a hidden gem! Amazing views, the best food, and the best wait staff. We even had our wedding rehearsal here and they made everything so incredibly special. Definitely try the Dungeness crab pasta! We most recently went for Valentine’s Day and everything was perfect.

I am visiting from out of town and came with a friend who lives locally. We went to a place down the street but decided to come here instead and I’m SOOOO glad we did! The food here was phenomenal! The service was wonderful as well and of course the atmosphere and ambiance were equally wonderful. I highly highly recommend this place!!!

Everything about this restaurant is perfect! The food, atmosphere, views; everything. I got the Chicken Parmesan and it was absolutely incredible. I also tried some of the pork that my friend ordered, and it was so, so good. That pork was the best I've ever had, and so much better than pork at most specialty BBQ restaurants I've been to. The desserts were top notch as well. Very rarely can I find a restaurant that does everything perfectly, but Thats Amore is one of them.

Happened upon this place off of 31st Avenue in Seattle. We always enjoy exploring new Italian restaurants and this small and quaint destination did not disappoint. The featured item was a dungeness crab pappardelle, and it was nothing short of absolutely delicious. The salad with prawns was very well prepared and the prawns were of authentic taste/flavor, which is rare to experience nowadays. The atmosphere was very comfortable and the service was extremely prompt, friendly and very professional.
