| - I do love pizza - just not Chicago's deep dish kind - though I've heard people in the restaurant oohing, aaahing and raving about the Chicago pizza. I'm a New York thin crust type - so I've eaten at Amore's twice (once for lunch and once for dinner) and still think it's one of the best at delivering traditional Italian staples.
Between my friends and I we've had: Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken Francese, Homemade Lasagna, Chicken Alfredo and everyone of us would rather eat here than in any other local Italian restaurant. The only disappointment was with an appetizer - the Caprese Salad, which tasted great, but was quite skimpy on the buffalo mozzarella - and who needs cucumbers in a Caprese Salad?
Dinners run $14 - $18. Pizzas start at $9.25 for a small cheese, and go up to $24 for 16" "everything" and specialty combo pizzas/
There are still many dishes I'm looking forward to: surprisingly, Baby Back Ribs are a specialty, and also at a special price on Wednesdays. Chicken Piccata, Marsala, Cacciatore are all favorites of mine too. Portions are large, but the pasta with the meals is a smaller portion now than my first visit. Having said that - it's hard to go home hungry and my friends and I have already decided we'll be going on a regular basis from now on.
