Review Summary

Amato stands out for exceptional Italian cuisine that is delicious and customizable, a private wine cellar that impresses, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like dining in a cozy ancestral home. Guests describe friendly, attentive service and a lively, inviting vibe, with a terrace that is one of the region's highlights for summer evenings. Dishes ranging from shrimp with mustard to grilled calamari, beef cheek and veal cutlet with lemon are repeatedly praised for quality and flavor, and portions are generous. The experience is consistently described as refined yet comfortable, making it well suited for anniversaries and any special occasion. The staff and owner are noted for going the extra mile to ensure a memorable visit, and the overall value is viewed positively alongside the high quality of the food and wine list. Amato is frequently recommended for conversations and good company in a refined but cozy setting.

A restaurant of that caliber should at least offer to take a woman's coat & have it dragging on the back if the chair..& hey..what about some olives or brusccetta before ordering the primo..2 people..4 cocktails ..an expensive btl of wine & had to wait for bread with the starter...sorry..love this place but an amuse-gueule would have made it perfect.

La salade césar était déçevante car sans anchois & sans câpres, la salade plus blanche que verte ne mérite pas son prix de 16$.
Les pâtes de l'assiette de cavatelli étaient trop cuites & ce qui enlevait de la saveur & du mélange des goûts.
Le service toutefois était excellent!!

Everything was excellent with the exception of out table
It was to small & in the entrance with all the traffic
If we had a better table then our evening would have been perfect
