  • Amarone sits in a parking lot across from an Ace Hardware. When you approach the elaborate iron doors, you get just a hint at the décor that looks as if it was designed by Liberace. Amarone is unintentionally amusing given that you feel like you're on the set of the "The Sopranos" when you enter the restaurant. This place is Jersey tacky in all its glory. What's with all the TVs hung over the backlit alabaster bar? And the IKEA gauze drapes sectioning off "private" dining rooms? Is this really a place you'd take a paramour on the DL for a tête à tête? The BF and I saw the ads for this place at the bottom of the Pizza A Metro menu every time we would visit that postage-size restaurant in the 'hood of I-17 and Thomas. The unfortunate thing for Amarone is its connection to Pizza A Metro. That place earned four stars when I reviewed it due to the value it offers. For Amarone, I have to give it three stars because the prices are just too high when you can drive across town and get many of the same dishes for less. I started off with the Mozzarella Caprese ($11) and I was very disappointed because the tomato was not ripe and the purportedly homemade mozzarella had a tough texture. This caprese cannot hold a candle to the stellar version at Pizzeria Bianco. The BF had the Calamari Fritti ($12) and it was very well executed. For entrees, one of our dining companions had the Penne alla Vodka ($17) which offered the same pasta in tomato sauce sautéed with bacon, fresh basil, cream and a splash of vodka as the version at Pizza A Metro, just at an inflated price. The BF had a nightly special and it was very good. I had the Pollo Rollatini ($22) that featured chicken stuffed with prosciutto, mushrooms and spinach in marsala wine sauce served with fettuccine alfredo. It was very good, but a tad over-priced. For dessert, we had the Cannoli Siciliani ($6.95) and it was a bit disappointing because this dessert is much better at Pizza A Metro. Amarone was good, but drive over to Pizza A Metro and sacrifice the gaudy setting for a dining deal.
