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.

Quality of food is excellent. Wine list is superb. Great ambiance. Service could be a bit more attentive. Appetizers are over priced. Main course is priced accordingly. Nice for a date night, or with a small group of friends. I will go back.

Notre 4ème visite, & nous sommes toujours aussi accro que les 3 premières fois. Plats impeccablement soignés au niveau cuissons, saveurs & servis buen chauds. Vaste carte des vins pour tous les budgets. Environnement paisible, idéal pour les couples.
Seul petit bémol hier; nous avons perçu une certaine frustration de notre serveur avec une employée un peu trop lascive, ce qui a enlever un peu de magie au reste qui est sans reproche.
Amato reste notre resto préféré!
