We are first generation Americans who have inherited the great cultures of the old world; who have actually lived and breathed the culture of the people we represent, in the translation of the food, wine, and spirit we serve you.

Our seafood choices are only the freshest catch available. This includes fresh gulf black grouper, shrimp, colossal lump crab meat, New Bedford scallops, lobster tails, mussels, and clams.

What great Italian restaurant doesn’t offer a vast array of mouthwatering pasta dishes? Some of our more popular dishes include penne carbonara, penne alla vodka, lasagna and baked ziti. Our homemade ravioli choices are second to none, including crab, lobster, cheese, Bolognese, and sausage.

All our dishes are made from the highest quality, freshest ingredients, and the utmost love and passion! Our wine list is vast and sure to please even the most discriminating wine lover.

Customer Reviews

Food was great, service (Tom) was slow, inattentive, unfriendly and impersonal.. Wasn’t a special occasion, which saved our night.

I’ve been to almost every restaurant in Birmingham, and nobody in Birmingham provides better service than Stephen at Amore.

Discovered a fantastic spot just off of 280 through word of mouth. Ordered takeout for the family and savored a variety of dishes: Polpette della Casa, Ziti al Forno, and Grilled Salmon with Lemon Caper Sauce on a bed of Orzo accompanied by Broccoli, Zucchini, and Peppers. And, of course, we couldn’t miss out on the Tiramisù. Each dish was delightful, perfect for sharing or taking leftovers home if you’re too full to finish. A special thanks to Chase who called to inform me they were out of the Smoked Salmon Pasta and suggested the Grilled Salmon instead. It made for a great first-time experience, and I’m eager to return and explore the rest of the menu. Excellent job – looking forward to my next visit! Sorry for only one picture… we were starving. I’ll update some photos at the next sitting.

Vegetarian options: Dishes provide a quality of vegetables to pick from.

Parking: Get there early. Parking is good even if you have to walk a few extra steps it’s worth it.

We loved our experience. Their food is delicious and staff is friendly, professional, and attentive without hovering. The exterior is deceptive. Amore has a relatively large dinning space.
