Great place. Love the food, the atmosphere & the fact that it's a BYOB! Pete, the owner & chef is very friendly & Always comes by to check on his customers which I think is great. Frank is the waiter who usually takes care of us. He is attentive, and so very efficient not to mention funny! A true gem of a restaurant!
This is hands down my favorite Italian place ever! Everything I have ever ordered from here is always amazing! The staff is always warm and welcoming. Every time we have friends visiting from out of state they make it a necessary place they HAVE visit before going home. Our favorite is of coarse the rice balls. Mmmmm!! A must try!
If you can’t get into The Pasta Shop, come here.
We were immediately sat.
No waiting hours to eat.
This place is beyond amazing .
The lobster ravioli had an amazing flavor and the pasta was so soft. The chicken parmigiana was AMAZING. The chicken was juicy and crispy.
The rice balls were also nice and flavorful.
We topped it off with a lava cake and overall it was enjoyable. The atmosphere is great and welcoming. Everyone is super friendly.
The food came timely and appropriately.
Overall I’d tell everyone to come here.
The food was so great, I forgot to snap a photo before eating!

It was one of the lazy evenings where I did not feel like cooking and did some take out from That's Amore. While I will say take out was tasty, the meal would have been better if I sat down in the restaurant and enjoyed the nice ambiance and friendly service. Picked up near the dinner time rush and restaurant was busy. Those who were coming in, all had reservations. Would definitely try making reservations for larger groups to ensure you get a table. One thing I do appreciate in restaurants is the B.Y.O.B. option. Always a nice option to bring your own favorite bottle and not get stuck with a glass of wine that you may not enjoy. With that, this was just from my initial observations
Started with Calamari. While normally not a takeout item, I am super close so took a gamble. Calamari was still tasty when i ot home. Also ordered Chicken parm dinner which was served with salad or pasta. I opted for pasta. Dinner itself was also tasty and made for an overall great meal.
While the food was great, I was somewhat disappointed in the overall portion size to what I paid for the meal. I should note no prices are displayed on the menu whixh is always a clue the meal may be procey
Chicken Parm is always a great dinner and usually I am stuffed with a snack afterwards. While I clearly devoured the meal, there were no leftovers for a snack.
Would definitely recommend going there and eating In person to have an enjoyable evening woth some good food.

I'm going to rate the food a 1 star based upon my entree only. Appetizers were very good and the pesto was delicious. I ordered the snapper special with muscles and clams in a garlic wine broth with shrimp. Mine must have been forgotten about in an order of 8. The shrimp was about 5 minutes cooked past it's prime. The muscles and clams were also over done. After picking out the forgotten scales on my snapper I mustered through and finished an overall very disappointing meal. Stick with the go tos and gut feeling on what you want.
We decided to stop in for dinner while staying nearby and were not expecting the exquisite experience that we had. The staff was so incredibly kind - genuinely caring that we were comfortable and well tended to. The waitress spent the time to get to know us and offer personalized recommendations.
The food was to DIE for! When i say that this food was Michelin star flavor i mean it. The home made burratta was remarkably delicious. The Chef came out to every table and personally greeted everyone. He gave my 4 year old son Halloween candy at the end which made his day.
Now the only problem is knowing when we can get back here to eat again!
Thank you!
Delicious food, great and warm service!
This place is a hidden gem of sophisticated and well-done Italian food.
Impromptu date night, this was great! Felt very welcome. Cindy was lovely and had great suggestions. Burrata app was fantastic, the artichoke pesto was a great touch. Even the side salads were a significant step up from the usual offerings at most restaurants. Cold, crisp, fresh, well proportioned ingredients and a home made dressing.
The branzino and shrimp special was delicious. I'm still not sure how the lightly fried shrimp stayed crispy in that sauce.
Another reviewer mentioned the Gelato as a must-try, they were not wrong.
Looking forward to coming back again. What a nice surprise!

We love Italian food and have had dinner at most of the Italian restaurants in Morris County. That's Amore is "hands-down" the best Italian restaurant in the county. Period! The chef's special Rib Eye Steak, the Grilled Salmon with mushroom and roasted peppers in a wine sauce and the piping hot Linguini Pescatore are our favorites.
It's also a BYO place, the prices are very reasonable and the service is super friendly, and they even try and accommodate last minute folks on Fri and Sat nights. We sometimes pop over on Tuesday nights, like we did tonight, with a bottle of wine, for their Special Antipasto Platter, Primi, Secondi, Dessert and Coffee combo for $50 per couple. You gotta love this place!!
Absolutely the best Italian food in nj. Everything on the menu is delicious the food is fresh and the portions are perfect. My wife and I love this place
Delicious authentic Italian food. Wonderful staff! The Hot Chocolate cheesecake was over the top! Will definitely return often! Bravo
Amazing food all around. Best Italian food since Italy. Can’t say enough about this place. Get rice ball for appetizer.
