That's Amore! Italian Cafe

Matt Perrone

Thats Amore is an Italian restaurant nestled in the neighborhood close to Leschi and Central District. Street parking here can be tough at times. There is about a dozen tables inside and a couple outside, so it's pretty intimate. Their staff is friendly and always walking around to help. Their menu is a good size, with some daily specials that usually aren't on there. The portions are smaller, typical to most Italian style restaurant trying to impress. The cost per portion is just too high for me. Taste wise it's hit or miss, the caesar salad was too lightly dressed and off, but the salumi plate was good. Brushetta was missing a few things taste-wise and the pasta sauces were missing salt but have a nutty flavor (sort of nutmeg), which stands out. Overall I'd say the experience is nice but the food just misses the mark for me. A few tweaks here and there would put them to 4, maybe 5 stars for food.

A delightful neighborhood gem. The energy of the restaurant was buzzing and every table was full on a Monday night. Definitely recommend reservations. The Bruschetta and Fungo Davi were wonderful starters. Guy recommended several popular dishes, but when pressed on what he would want his mother to try he responded with the Rigatoni, which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. I chose the Linguine which paired wonderfully with the Sauvignon Blanc.

That’s Amore is a very good Italian Restaurant. The view of Seattle from the restaurant is incredible. This is a great place to visit for a date or special. We ordered the bread and butter (doesn’t come with the meal) and Amore salad for appetizers, and linguini and Chicken Parmesan for entrees. The bread and butter was exceptional, it came with 3 unique butters that were infused with herbs and vegetables. The salad was very good, and had a great balance of flavors. We enjoyed the entrees, but the entrees had a few minor issues. The linguini was covered in a lemon sauce. The lemon was a little overpowering in the sauce, that it took away from the other ingredients in the dish. I added black pepper to the dish which neutralized the flavor and balanced the dish. The Chicken Parmesan was slightly overcooked, but the entree had good flavor. Aside from the few missteps in our entrees, the meal was amazing, and the ambience at this restaurant is unmatched. I would definitely visit again.
