Café Amore Pizza & Pasta
Theme: Café Amore is a family affair the owners are actually Albanian, which is directly West of Italy, so it is close enough for Italian cuisine.
On the Menu: Anything from pizza ($7.25 to $12.25) to salmon is available from the menu, including traditional Italian pasta dishes. Fried calamari ($5.95) is my favorite appetizer, and comes with a marinara sauce. You cannot go wrong with a country salad ($4.95) which is actually vegetables with no lettuce, (large enough for two) or any variety of traditional salads ($1.75). Entrees are numerous; I prefer salmon Amore, although the beef medallions are a close second. For desert if you like cannoli ($2.50) you will not be disappointed, shells are homemade and presented with a swirl of chocolate. Who could enjoy Italian food without a bottle of wine, bring your favorite bottle and they will serve you with no corkage fee.
Check, please: Prices are $10 to $25 per person, including appetizer, entrée and dessert
Comments: Atmosphere is relaxed and family friendly, service is very good and is provided by many family members. Our favorite server is Shpresa, with a great smile and a quick wit. I believe everyone will find something at Café Amore to make their dining experience a pleasurable experience.
