Cafe Amore

Review: The food in this restaurant is so reasonable and good that you want to go there often, especially on Fridays, they have a list of specials.
Salads and bread come with the meal.

Review: Everything was delicious, service was great, very friendly. Busy place, seems to be run very well.

Review: I myself cannot understand why the reviews on this page are so high. That was the absolute worst food I have ever tasted. The service was horrible. Our server was anything other than attentive, she started off the evening with an attitude and it continued to a downward spiral all evening.
White wine should be served chilled and not at room temperature! Cannelloni dinner was served with Rose sauce and put under the broiler...was that to try and cover up the microwave dinner flavour? The effect was actually more like a layer of glue on glue. Meatlovers dinner would not be appropriate to serve to an animal much less a human.
The pasta sauce was terrible.
We will never go back and will definately be very vocal about how bad the food and service was.
A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!

Review: I was surprised the food was so bad considering most comments on this sit are pretty good. Our server Tracy made our night much more pleasurable. If it wasn't for her understanding and consideration the whole night would of been a disaster.

Review: While the food is alright, there is just too much. We each had veal parm and took home a good 2lbs of pasta between the two of us. Such a waste.

Just a word of caution... do not order the "fonduta." We had it the last time we were there, expecting something of an Italian fondue, and instead got a chunk of cheese, melted into an oily, gummy goo in a dish. It was pretty bad.

Review: This meal was a mixed bag. Our server and the host were pleasant, attentive and most accommodating. The roasted garlic and goat cheese appetizer was truly yummy. We all had Caesar salad and agreed that it was nicely prepared – very garlicky, tangy and fresh.
(If you do not love garlic, do not dine here.) Choice of pasta with the entrees include whole wheat and rice noodle options as well as the traditional, which shows an awareness of their patron's different tastes and dietary requirements. The eggplant parmesan was a definite hit – good enough to take the leftovers home! The Mardi Gras was also very tasty. The chicken alfredo was unremarkable but inoffensive. However, my Cajun chicken had a most unpleasant fishiness about it. I ate less than a quarter of it merely to ward off starvation. I was quite disappointed. I mentioned this to our server, but if this was brought to the chef's attention, no reply was given to me. (Perhaps the sauce for the Cajun chicken was prepared in the same pan as the daily special that included mussels???) We did not indulge in dessert, but I would certainly consider a return visit for dessert and coffee only. There is no dessert menu as such. Rather, there is an ever changing variety of cakes, pastries and pies. They all looked spectacular and those diners who were indulging looked quite satisfied!

Review: every meal comes with ceasar salad and garlic bread
the appetizers are great
the prices are good
i like the atmosphere of the Lake Street location best but overall, you won't be dissappointed with this restaurant choice.

Review: We went with another couple, our first time, they had been before. We had the best dinner we have had in years and we eat out all the time. We had heard of Cafe Amore but never tried it. We are definitely returning. The food and the service all get top marks from us. This is like a hidden gem in St.Catharines.

Review: we went to celebrate friends birthday. had a nice time. service was great, waitress very cheerful. the food came as ordered and very hot. it was busy but we didn`t feel rushed or crowded. we stayed most of the evening and it looked like everyone around us enjoyed their dinner as well because they were all laughing and having a great time. we`ve been before to both locations and have never had a bad experience. we`ll probably go again for the next birthday in our group.

Review: We eat lunch here at least once a week. It`s always great and we`ve been coming since this location opened about 5 years ago. We have tried just about everything but usually end up ordering the quiche and the spicy chicken salad. The service is always prompt and friendly. The food is ALWAYS good. We even come for dinner once a month or so and that`s always been great too. As far as we are concerned this is one of the best places to come for lunch and we have tried alot of different places nearby and they can`t compare.
