“As someone who isn't the biggest foodie, I must say that Amore is definitely something to rave about. From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was inviting and the service was impeccable, making it a truly memorable experience. We decided to try the ravioli, Napoli pizza, tiramisu, and pistachio dessert, and each dish exceeded our expectations. I have no doubt that all the other items on the menu are prepared to the same high standards as the ones we enjoyed. The flavors were exceptional, and each dish was crafted with care and attention to detail. The ravioli was perfectly cooked, the Napoli pizza was bursting with authentic flavors, and the desserts were simply divine. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Considering the quality of the food, the service, and the overall experience, the prices are more than reasonable. You will definitely find yourself wanting to come back for more. A more has truly set a high bar for dining experiences, and I can't wait to return to try more of their delicious offerings.”

Delicious lunch today. Freshly made pasta with great toppings. Crispy, fresh home made pizzas. It was like walking into a small town restaurant in Italy. Very friendly. Quick service. Dogs welcome in the garden. Brilliant place! We will be back!

Visited recently during the Christmas Market weekend in Rochester which was amazing! I had a lovely service, the restaurant was full but I managed to get a table with no queue which also was a success! Had a wonderful King Prawn starter with garlic and chilli, it's not listed as a starter on the menu but they can prepare one if asked as it's on the main course section. I was very happy with that, wine and tiramisu were excellent, all in all very good place to visit and enjoy great Italian food, Thank you! ☆☆☆☆☆
