" What a delightful little spot for authentic Italian cuisine! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Amore Mio, and let me tell you, it was an experience to remember. The owner welcomed us personally and shared stories about her family’s heritage in Italy, which made the meal even more special. I tried the lasagna, and it was hands down the best I've ever had! The layers were fluffy, and the flavors melded beautifully. The ambiance is cozy, perfect for a date night or a family dinner. They also have a lovely selection of Italian wines to complement the meal. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amore Mio is truly a hidden treasure. Upon entering, the Italian decor immediately transports you to a cozy piazza. The food is spectacular; I had the eggplant parmesan and could not believe how perfectly it was baked. We also shared a charcuterie platter, which was beautifully presented. The owner, who greeted every customer personally, shared her family's recipes, making the experience feel genuine and authentic. I especially appreciated the thoughtful wine pairings they recommended. It’s a place full of heart, where you can savor every bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Amore Mio was quite good! The food was rich in flavor, and the pasta options were extensive. I tried the veal osso buco, which was beautifully tender and paired well with the creamy polenta. The restaurant was bustling and has a nice vibe, but I found the noise levels a bit distracting during dinner. Overall, however, it was a very pleasant dinner, with quality service, and I look forward to visiting again to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night at Amore Mio was a true culinary experience! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by the owner, who offered us complimentary appetizers while we waited for our mains. I appreciated the personal touch. I had the salmon, and it was cooked to perfection; the sides were robust and complemented the fish nicely. My partner tried the mushroom risotto, which was creamy and rich. Everything was exemplary, with a family-style feel to the dining. Each dish felt crafted with care. A lovely evening, indeed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful meal at Amore Mio! From the creamy risotto to the perfectly cooked seafood, everything had such authentic flavor. It felt as if I was dining in Italy itself. While the restaurant got a little busy, the staff managed to stay friendly and attentive. The portion sizes were very generous. It’s nice to see a place that values both quality and quantity. I cannot recommend this place enough for traditional Italian meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for exceptional Italian food, Amore Mio is it! I had dinner there last week with a couple of friends, and we were blown away by the quality. I ordered the lasagna special, and every bite was packed with flavor. The pasta was homemade, and you could really taste the difference! The owner was delightful, sharing stories about her family traditions in cooking. Make sure to save room for dessert, as the cannoli was to die for! I only wish I lived closer; I would be there every week. " (*Curated Review*)

" During our recent visit to Placerville, we stumbled upon Amore Mio, and it quickly became a highlight of our trip. The ambiance was intimate yet vibrant, decorated with cheerful Italian art. The food was fantastic—every dish felt like it was made with loving hands. My husband had the pork ragu, which was decadent and comforting. The highlight for me was dessert; the tiramisu was heavenly and the perfect way to end the meal. The service was warm and inviting—we truly felt like part of the family. We'll definitely be back!
