" After hearing so much about Amaro, we finally booked a dinner here, and it was worth the hype! The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and simply beautiful. The attention to detail in the food presentation was outstanding. I tried the fried calamari to start, and it was perfectly crispy. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring our glasses were always full. Highly recommend making this a dining destination! " (*Curated Review*)

" We walked into Amaro without reservations and were seated right away. Our server was efficient and prompt. The seafood specialties were incredible! I’ll definitely remember the lobster ravioli; it was packed with flavor! The atmosphere felt welcoming and warm, making it a perfect date night spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem this restaurant is! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted warmly, and it only got better from there. We loved the cheese wheel fettuccine and can't stop raving about it. The dessert selection was delightful as well, making the meal complete. We can’t wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amaro delivered a fantastic dining experience! The drink menu was impressive, and our cocktails were expertly made. Our server was incredibly personable, enhancing the entire evening. I sampled the lamb shank, and I must say, it was the best I've had. I highly commended this restaurant and will come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my recent visit. My pasta was lukewarm, and I felt rushed despite the restaurant not being full. The waitstaff varied in attentiveness, with one server being great while another seemed overwhelmed. I don't think I would choose Amaro again given more competitive options in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amaro was a delightful surprise! The food was exquisite, and I tried their famous fettuccine alfredo made tableside in the cheese wheel, and it was rich and flavorful! The staff was engaging and helped to create a memorable experience. I look forward to visiting again, perhaps for a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love Amaro after hearing so many positive reviews, but my experience left me a bit underwhelmed. The food was decent, but not what you’d expect at a higher-end restaurant. The ambiance was nice though, and the staff were plentiful. I’m torn on whether to give it another go. " (*Curated Review*)
