Amore Italian Restaurant

Great food! Great service! Lovely restaraunt with a really nice atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening there and will definitely be going back when next in the area.

The food was delicious and authentic, although a couple of dishes traditionally veal had pork substitutes. Everything was fresh, and appeared cooked to order. It's a relaxed atmosphere, Italian staff, with no overwhelming background music. The only downside was that it felt cold. Our group kept our jackets on to eat, and I almost never feel the cold! It was a chilly night outside for April, though.

I believe that all members of staff should at least know of food intolerances/allergies, but this is not the case here. With that said, they do cater for gluten and lactose free individuals, to a degree. The food is decent enough and service is good all round.

I usually travel to the UK for work and on more than one occasion I happened to pass through Overton, where I discovered this excellent Italian restaurant. Unlike other places that claim to offer Italian dishes, in Francesco's restaurant you can taste the real food of the Belpaese. In particular, I had the chance to appreciate several dishes on the menu, including cannelloni (really delicious) and a salmon fillet, tender and grilled at the right point. I also happened to taste a piece of pizza from a colleague of mine and I must say that it is not the usual "tomato cracker" that they often pass off abroad as the real Italian pizza: the crust was in fact nice and soft, with a really tasty tomato. Although the place was full of guests, I found a great welcome and accurate service: the staff is very attentive and leaves nothing to chance. Recommended for those who want to eat the traditional dishes of Italian cuisine.

Firstly I'm not a serial complainer- most of my reviews are 4 or 5 star. However this was the worst dining experience I have had in a long time. The service was so inattentive as to be non existent. We were left to our own devices with not so much as a "is your food okay?" The food actually was not okay. The quality was poor. The chocolate brownie was so hard - not chewy just hard that it didn't get eaten. The sauce on my main was more of a soup it covered the plate to the edge. Someone on another table asked for the courgette to be removed from her vegetables but was told it arrives all mixed together in the tin The restaurant itself needed a critical eye cast over it - dead flowers on some of the tables, worn out and food stained menues etc. I have always said the best restaurant you can get it is a family run local Italian and this was the first time I have been proven wrong on that theory.

Visited for Mothering Sunday lunch, even Mum enjoyed it so it must be good!

We have visited amore at their other locations and been very impressed. Unfortunately, this was not the case at Overton. We waited well over an hour for the main course, it was relatively busy and we wouldn't have had a problem with this had we been informed of the wait or simply a 'sorry for the wait' offered when they did finally arrive with it, neither happened. The pizza was also extremely thick, more like a deep base dominos pizza with very few toppings, and seemed much more American than Italian. Very disappointed in a business we'd come to love and won't be returning.

OMG .. wow .. this place got recommended to me .. a must to visit , service amazing , fast, staff so friendly .. food out of this world .. nothing too much for them
