We did not have a reservation because this was our first time visiting this restaurant, but the owner was so nice and proactive. He arranged a table for us within 5 minutes. When we waited for a table, I saw the owner seemed to know almost every customer well. So, it felt like a family atmosphere. There was a singner in front of our table. He strived to sing songs, but most customers were talking. So, it could be difficult to clearly hear what each other said if someone was dating. The main dish I ordered, gamberi alla grigilia, was so awesome. The shrimps grilled well, very tasty and tender. My partner was also satisfied with his choice. We ordered the Amore tiramisu as a desert, which could be the best tiramisu I have had before. Very moisture and full of flavor. Overall, I would like to attend this restaurant again to try other dishes but reserve a spot in advance.

Loved everything we ate here. The restaurant smelled delicious coming in and we ordered all of the specials (for us and our kids 6/7 to try). Portions were definitely shareable. Had live music (accordian playing), set the mood for sure! Glen was our server, and he was great!

This wonderful little restaurant is a gem hidden in Edmonton. The food was fantastic (and on the table in seven minutes flat). The servers are friendly and entertaining. The atmosphere is absolutely charming. It is the perfect place for a romantic date, a meeting among friends or work colleagues, or even a solo dining venture. I look forward to eating here again!

This was the perfect place to celebrate a quiet birthday. The service, atmosphere, and food were all 10/10. We came early to beat the dinner rush, and felt like we were in a different city. The bruschetta is the best I’ve ever tasted, and their signature pasta was to die for. Everything about this restaurant was perfect. Thank you so much to the owners and all the staff!

We’ve been to Cafe Amore twice now, and both times Glen has been our server—he’s amazing! Super friendly and attentive, and really made us feel welcome. The food? Absolutely incredible. We loved everything so much that we forgot to take photos until our plates were empty! The aglio e olio, mussels in lemon cream sauce, shrimp antipasti, and 8 layer lasagna were all bursting with flavor and cooked perfectly. We couldn’t wait to devour every bite. Definitely one of our favorite spots, and we can’t wait to come back! Update: here is to redeem myself with the photos. My brother and mom is indeed impressed as well. Aglio e olio with bucatini bolognese and alfredo pesto.

We had the beet salad which was average (7/10) we felt it needs more dressing.. For the main we got pesto alfredo with chicken which was very good (8.5/10) and pollo portofino which was different and good (8/10). Portion sizes are HUGE. I would come again for something with sea food as they seem very delicious.

It was my first time there, I just walked in without a reservation, but the guy was so nice and gave me a great table by the window! The atmosphere was awesome, and the singer's voice was so calming and beautiful. I got the Amore Signature Pasta with seafood – amazing, and a huge portion! I totally recommend it and will definitely go back.
