Cafe Amore Bistro in Edmonton

Good location, good service, and kind employees, but unfortunately, prices are over exaggerated.

Food was amazing and the service was friendly and fast.

Everything you want on an Italian restaurant! Food was so so good like my gosh. One of my top italian places for edmonton for sure!

A busy place at lunch with great food at surprisingly low prices. I had some great mussels preceded by a shared salad and very nice bread. Very friendly and efficient service.

This is a cozy Italian restaurant thats not to be missed. The food is delicious, the servers attentive and friendly without being overbearing. The often have live music which adds to the atmosphere.

It was an amazing experience at the cafe amore. Great food, great service. I had great time.

Great service Food was very good

Great atmosphere but snooty service by owner and waiter. Charged me for something I didnt order than argued with me profusely until I said just forget it and just paid for it. Asked if there was a place to hang winter coats and the owner said we ve been here for 15 years and havent needed it Sheesh ! I just thought I would inquire if there was one.

Parking: Everything was great! Except for getting the same server and the same issues 2x in a row. Mixed our order and overcharged. If it wasnt for the owner and food. I dont need to know that she was in a car accident hence why she has issues with her memory. Food

Food was good. Server seemed a bit distracted/forgetful but was friendly and cheerful. Place was packed and theres very little space between tables, unfortunately, but because of the food it remains very popular.

Had a great meal there cannot complain about anything, Had a special feature on crabcakes they were amazing

Awesome job with the gluten free meals

The service was amazing, the staff were very attentive, though the food was a little slow, but for a Friday night that was packed, Im not going to deduct too much. The food delicious, everything we tried. Will definitely visit again. On a busy weekend, you will need a reservation.

Food was great and the service was awesome.

Went for a work party and the food was amazing! Very, very friendly and helpful staff. Loved it and will be returning soon.

They saved my life: satisfying my picky husband & having custom-made options for prawn linguine that seems to be extinct off the menus of overpriced hip pizza restaurants in Edmonton. It was a snowy Sunday eve, the place was super cozy and warm, the live accordion playing in the background was just a cherry on top and really added to the experience. The staff came to enquire about the meal - not just our attentive waiter. Even though we spend a lot of tiem in Italy and part tiem live there we are mostly disappointed with the aforementioned restaurants but my custom prawn linguine and my husbands porchetta special were incredibly tasty - plus his risotto was apparently the best he had in his life and he is so picky and normally only is depressed about other dining experiences in Edmonton. We are definitely coming back.

Not the best place. Food took way too long to come out, items were forgotten in both our appetizer and main orders. Half the tables food was cold, my steak was not only cold but flavorless, got upcharged for gluten free pasta. Like its 2024, gluten free pasta doesnt cost more. Seating was way too cramped. Im sure a lot of people have had a good experience but for the premium price its my opinion that you could find a better restaurant

So beautiful!!!

We were disappointed. Booked weeks in advance for a birthday party with friends and were seated in a basement with kid and baby parties. Apparently there were zero options to switch out tables. Food was underwhelming and the wine was expensive. Won t be back.

Great place. Good service.

This establishment is amazing. The food is top shelf! And with finer dining, you almost expect smaller portions. But, not here! The portions are so big, even a hungry man (me) has some to come home with! I have a culinary background..1 test away from becoming a Red Seal Chef. Cafe Amore Bistro is a gem. They do everything right! One of the features i loved most about it was, how close the seating was to the next table. It felt really warm and welcoming. Like we were all part of one big family dinner! Service was top notch. Everyone was very attentive to my needs. I didnt once feel like i couldnt be helped because they werent my server. My wife and i were on our way to a rock concert.. So we were dressed for that. But, Cafe Amore Bistros ambiance welcomes business casual, and even more formal dress! I highly recommend this restaurant. Make sure you call ahead to book a reservation. I doubt they are ever slow!

Always a treat to visit this place. Delicious, homemade food, friendly, welcoming, and excellent service. Comfortable and cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home! This was on our list of places to bring family visiting from out of town when they arrived for our recent wedding.

Weve eaten at this restaurant many times but we ordered delivery for a birthday party this time. We were very impressed by the portion sizes, the quality of the food and the punctuality of the delivery. The food came freshly prepared, piping hot and was the best Italian food weve ever had. The owner of the restaurant himself delivered the food which was an extra special touch. I would highly recommend cafe amore for dine in and to cater for a party.

Party of 30. extremely good food. 2 knowledgeable hosts gave paid very good attention to me. Madel a wine suggestion Which I enjoyed. Great evening. Would go Again.

I love cafe amore! Really friendly and homey atmosphere, and amazing food, drinks, and of course service. And they have live music sometimes, which is always awesome.

Great food, incredible service. Cant say enough good things. 5 star

The food is so delicious, i especially love the fresh pastas. The staff are so welcoming and they go above and beyond for special events (birthdays, anniversaries). An absolute gem of a restaurant.

I still cannot believe how amazing my experience was trying their lunch special and house draft. Im never eating McDonalds again. <3

The waitress and owner top notch very friendly . A place I definitely will go again mussels on Monday special a big hit .

Dodd was absolutely fantastic, had a wonderful anniversary dinner, and Vincent our server was amazing. Will definitely be back next

Highly, HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. Everything we ate was mouthwatering. The drinks were beyond our expectations. Presentation of the food/drinks was incredible. Personable, warm staff. Hats off to the entire staff. Its easy to tell they work hard. My husband and I will be back for more date nights here. Also, the pictures dont do justice for how cozy, and romantic the place feels. Good place for anniversaries and special nights!

Old school Italian with many plates to eat family style, in a friendly atmosphere, with great service. We were treated like family and the food was made with love. Very good prices! We were there on a busy Saturday night and there was live music.

Host very friendly. Server great. Appetizer excelent. Main course very good! We will visited again. Food

Good but not life changing, very expensive, there s better bang for your buck at other places. Nice staff and atmosphere though.

We shared a wonderful wedding anniversary with the team at Cafe Amore this past weekend. Everything was excellent and the team made us feel like family. Umberto playing the accordion throughout the evening was memorable and really finished off the fabulous ambiance. Highly recommended. Well be back!

Atmosphere, food and service was amazing!!

Wow! First time there, bruschetta was amazing! Server ( Tammy) was amazing. Will definetly return again! Thank you for a first great impression.

Coworkers and I went to cafe amour for lunch. The lunch menu had so many options and the price was great for the large portion. Everyone was happy with the taste of their food. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back.

Always an AMAZING experience. My girlfriend and I have been here a few times and the food is to die for, the staff are insanely friendly and the restaurant is beautiful. Would recommend to many.

My absolute favourite place! Thank you for always being delicious and welcoming!

Great friendly and attentive service. I had the Parmesan crusted pork loin with risotto and it was a 10/10 but the lunch special pastas lacked flavor. The Monday mussel deal was memorable and definitely worth a try. Perfectly cooked and the rose sauce was delicious!

Always a great meal. The staff are always fantastic Kid-friendliness: My son does not eat like a child so he really enjoys the portion sizes for adults Food : 4/5 |

The best seafood pasta dish in Edmonton. The rose sauce is highly recommended.

Cafe Amore Bistro does simple and classic Italian really, really well. The seafood pasta I had was one I won t forget for a while. Lunch specials made the price very reasonable. Only odd thing is the salad and main came out at the same time. Otherwise, this place is to die for.

Yummy and satisfying. Ambiance could be improved

We had a delicious meal with fabulous service. I highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere was incredible

Friendly staff and service. Food was good. 3 servers only and the one who was serving us did a good job handling us and the other customers shes handling

Are you looking for Amore flavour, Amore food and Amore friendly environment? Look no further, fuhgeddaboudit

Attentive staff. Nice place. Good Food. Will come back again for sure.

Kid-friendliness: We are there tonight. Their entrees were delicious. I would say this is not a kid friendly restaurant. They dont have a kids menu. They dont offer anything special, free, or discounted prices. Also their appetizers are expensive for what you get $20+ for bruschetta and its 4 pieces. Same with the cheese dishes. Their appetizers are overrated. Skip that. The washrooms are located in the basement so they arent wheelchair accessible.

Great service, fantastic food, and fabulous atmosphere!

Excellent service and great dining atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Great food as well.

Cozy atmosphere, delicious high quality food, and personable friendly service

Love this place! Weve been coming here for over a year now and have yet to have something on the menu that isnt delicious! My fiance loves the seafood pasta, I try everything but the ribs are one of my favorites. If you can make it through supper without being stuffed (very hard) the dessert sampler is sooo good.

Great atmosphere, our server was absolutely incredible! Very good portion sizes for the price point and excellent flavor on all the items! The Lobster ravioli was magnificent!

Best coffee I had in Italy

I want to comend Cristo on such an amazing establishment! I wish I can give this place more than 5 stars Cristo is just the nicest guy (you really went above and beyond last Friday). And the way he respects his staff is such a beautiful thing to see. Everything was delicious! My husband ordered the spicy marsala, and even though it wasnt spicy, it is my new favorite menu item! The staff are always so pleasant and accommodating. Honestly, if you havent eaten here already, what are you waiting for?!

Amazing place enjoyed it here

Nice place and nice service

Thank you!

Awesome place

We had Alan as our server and he was awesome! bubble fun energy and new how to do his job and well! as well the food was amazing and will definitely be visiting again!

Real Italian vibe. Staff is amazing, owners are kind and welcoming, wonderful experience from beginning to end. Food was mouth watering and generous portions.

Always the best. Best service best food. If you havent tried it . Then you must!

Was able to get in very last minute and was treated nicely all the way from the initial phone call till it was time to go. Food was great and the sangria was the best I ve ever had.

Met 13 people from various towns for my son s grad dinner - everything from booking the reservation to paying the bill was a friendly and easy experience. The food was outstanding, as was the service from all of the staff, and the atmosphere. Music great. Clean and interesting place. We loved it! Will be back many times I m sure!

This place is classic Italian reminds me of the places in NY. Food is amazing and a great family feeling.

Superb service and a fantastic selection of authentic italian cuisine

The food is good but the service definitely there is room to be improved.

My only regret is that I cant give it six stars. It exceeded all possible expectations, both the cuisine and, for me even more importantly, the service. Europeans know how to do things with soul. I came in on a whim and fell in love. P.S. From a person who has worked all his life in the service, my compliments about the male waiters, my friend, this is the right choice, I shake your hand.

The best Italian food in Edmonton

Have not been here for years. My question is WHY??? Great place to come for lunch and dinner!!

Went to some of the best Italian places in Edmonton, absolutely nothing beats Cafe Amore. Seriously the best Italian food in Edmonton. Service is amazing, and you re always greeted by the owner at the door. Absolutely 100/10 would highly recommend Dietary restrictions: Great option even for those with gluten intolerance. Most sauces are gluten free plus they offer an amazing gluten free corn pasta

The best chicken parm in the city!

Good food, great service.

My boyfriend and I had a dinner here and it was amazing!! The gnocchi bolognese had to be the best thing I have ever tasted in my life! The owner was very hands on and even greeted us! I 100% recommend

There is no amount of luck thay can statistically guarantee a perfect dining experience. After almost a decade of frequenting this establishment, they continue to deliver. Consistently executing perfect, delicious, high value food, at a great price. This restaurant is an Edmonton dining staple of the highest quality, Cafe Amore bumps shoulders with the best of the best!

The service and food is magnificent!! the owner is very hands on and always greeting each guest.Lovely little drinks bar also with wonderful staff . Cannot wait to return Great work Cafe Amore !!

BEST PASTA RESTAURANT IN EDMONTON! super underrated and SUPER AMAZING!!!

Very good! Portions are very generous, pretty filling.

1 of our city favorites this is a outstanding Italian restaurant absolute gem in the heart of the city. Fantastic food specials professional staff drinks are lit try a cearse and thank us later lol definitely be a weekly thing with mom the gang girlfriend or mistress call ahead to make sure they can accommodate

One of the best restaurant here in Edmonton.

Best pasta in the city. Huge portions and I always love coming here. Servers are helpful and friendly. Been back a few more times since my first review. Still great food staff and atmosphere. Always love coming here for dinner.

Fantastic is all Im going to say

There could be no better place to discover just before an Oilers win.

Perfect

Amazing pasta at affordable prices. Loved their Caesar!

Good Italian food with authentic flare

Great food, service was excellent. Very lively atmosphere. We went on a weekend, very busy, definitely need to make reservations if you go on the weekend.

Good

We came to Amore tonight to celebrate a family birthday. It has been a while since I ve eaten there, so I was curious to return. Our family is large, so we booked a big table of about 12 people. I also had my two young children joining me (2 & 4). I remember being greeted warmly by one server, but the server at our table (Tamara) was not as pleasant. She seemed quite passive aggressive whenever we made requests. Instead of feeling welcome and comfortable through the meal, it felt like we were bothering her asking about seats for my children, a special drink for the birthday girl, or food on the menu. After an hour and a half my 2 year old was done so I asked for my main course (not served yet) to be taken to go. She did not seem impressed. There was zero communication on how long it would take. Twice I requested are bill and appeared to be ignored. She had a smile on her face but her attitude was neither gracious nor accommodating. At the end of the day, when you re paying over $30 a plate for pasta I d expect better service and atmosphere. There are a number of other restaurants downtown with the same price point, but much better service. Save your money. Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly. High chair available but no booster seats. Not a lot of room to maneuver. No smaller portion options on the menu, and no smaller or plastic cups available .

Server ripped me off. Asked for a Ceasar salad which was 20 dollar - server upsold us to a Ceasar platter for 4, but didnt tell us it was a 90$ upgrade. Thanks for the terrible customer experience.

Fantastic service! The food was amazing too

Wonderful place, really enjoyed our experience here. Food was delicious, great portions, lovely environment, loved the music, attentive and kind service. Highly recommended to anyone.

Amores takeout service is nothing short of exceptional! From the prompt arrival of delicious food to the vibrant ambiance, every aspect enhances the dining experience. Whether youre enjoying a cozy date night in or opting for takeout, Amore delivers consistently outstanding quality. The attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart.

Server was extremely helpful for my celiac disease...food is always top shelf. Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for celiac and GF patrons.

We had the most beautiful mom daughter date night. Would have also made for a perfectly romantic date night. 3 min from our hotel near Kingsway mall, we ate at cafe Armour bistro, greeted and escorted to our table by our welcoming usher. Mentioned to our server, Alan, (who was very knowledgeable with the menu items & very accommodating) that we would have to skip appetizers because we had only 50 min to get to a candlelight concert. They rushed our order of Amour Prescatore. It was the best seafood pasta we ever had! The ambiance, live sultry jazz singer / musician set a lovely mood as we dined. We will go back for a planned longer time. Outstanding service, food, ambiance . Highly recommend Parking: Ample parking

Love the staff (so kind), excellent service & best Negroni in Edmonton!

Great food, service, and atmosphere! And the best garlic bread I ve ever had.

I was told by my brother that absolutely had to eat here! And boy was he right! My new favourite place to dine out! Food is great, staff is awesome! And very accommodating!

Ive been to this beautiful restaurant with my father on many occasions before his passing. Ive never felt so much love from a restaurant. Cafe Amore is Heaven on Earth.

Amazing for and great staff

Nice!!! Parking: We had a free parking space Food : 5/5 |

Best Italian food in Edmonton We went here for the first time 3 weeks ago. I ordered the spicy marsala pasta, and it was very good. My friend ordered the chicken special, which looked amazing. The drinks were so good. I had the Amore Spritzer, which I highly recommend. The only item that was underwhelming was the San Daniele Crostini. It was too dry and prosciutto was a little tough, however we will return for another delicious meal.

This restaurant used to be the Italian Gardens in the early 1980s. The current restaurant is carrying on as the Amore Bistro, and this was my first visit since 1982. Very enjoyable.

Very comfortable little cafe

Always spot on.

Absolutely fabulous meal and service! Generous portions, reasonably priced. The mista salad was large enough to share, which my husband and I did. We each had our own pasta dish which we both thoroughly enjoyed, Aglio e Olio and the Vongole, a glass of wine and a nonalcoholic drink.

Get the bruschetta its delicious!

The food is out of this world there. The pasta is super indulgent and yummy. The staff was very friendly and the place is very cute! It can be a little pricey but they do have options that wont break the bank that are equally as yummy. Id definitely recommend this place.

Pretty good. Wish there was more lobster in ravioli

Ate here for the second time last night, can t say enough about the food and the service. Had an amazing truffle pasta dish, portions are generous, and I found that the amount of meat you get in the pasta to be great. Cocktails were good, especially the coconut margarita! (I was pleasantly surprised to find it on the menu in an Italian restaurant). Loved the atmosphere & everything about our evening there! Would recommend.

Im new-ish to Edmonton so this restaurant was a very nice surprise. We loved the atmosphere, the food, the service, and the live music on Saturday night. We ordered two pasta dishes which were so quick to arrive. The carbonara was hearty and delicious. We cant wait to go back.

Fairly unassuming from the outside, we were thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. The food, the service, the setting. All top notch. Thank you again!

Very good, nice services, Thank you Justin for make our first visit so welcoming, we definitely will coming back.

Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, generous servings, lovely servers especially Kelly! So attentive, kind, hilarious!! Will definitely be back!

Great food, service ,and atmosphere! Kid-friendliness: Took the grandkids last year , it was a good experience,the waitress entertained them when she could while waiting for their meal to come. Recommended dishes Chicken Parmigiana, Cream Sauce Penne

Wonderful food and people!

This is still one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. Service is second to none as well. The Pescatore linguine pasta was perfect al dente. Soaked up the white wine sauce well and made it so slurpable. Mussels, clams , and shrimp were tasty! The crostinis were actually only okay, as I found the bread to be a bit on the harder/dry side than when I had them before, however the smoked salmon was great!

You can t get any better than a restaurant that treats you like family; add on to that house made pasta & sauces,

Amazing atmosphere. Great service. Amazing amazing food!!! Always great quality Dietary restrictions: Went with a group that had gluten free concerns Food : 5/5 |

Food was amazing! Customer service is amazing as well! Would definitely visit again

Amazing service and friendly staff. Delicious beet salad, ceasar salad, bruschetta and prawns. For us older folks the music was just a tiny bit loud, but everything was lovely. Parking: Good parking right outside Wheelchair accessibility: There are a few stairs to climb coming into the restaurant. There is a special washroom on the main floor for mobility challenged people, but not wheelchair accessible.

Always good food and service The rosè sauce on pene with sausage is my favorite Food

We booked a table at Cafe Amore for valentines day. Our server Jackie was fantastic and the food was so delicious. We will be back!

2nd year in a row that my wife and I have dined on Valentines day. Starting with the reservation, the lady was pleasant to speak with and made it very easy to make a reservation with deposit. Upon arrival my wife got a rose and I believe it was one of the owners that was greeting guests at the door. He was super nice and pleasant to speak with. The food and table waiting was superb. Best pasta Ive had in a long time. My wife had the mac and cheese which comes baked and tasted fantastic! I had the Masala Chicken with Rigatoni and the zip in the spices was just what my palate was craving. Would give a 6/5 if possible. Love this place and will recommend to anyone looking for a classy night out in downtown Edmonton.

Great evening with great service! Welcoming environment and I liked that guests were wearing anything from jeans and a t to cocktail dresses. This place is what you make it! Highly recommend, but make a reservation!

Delicious food & great atmosphere. One of the best restaurants in Edmonton. Highly recommend it

Cafe Amore Bistro has been one of the most enjoyable places to dine at in downtown Edmonton throughout the years. Their vibrant atmosphere, attentive service, and quality pasta and seafood dishes deserve a 9/10. Must try items include: - Chef s Salad - Pescatore

Fabulous place to eat outstanding menu with top notch service atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Definitely be back and I bring my friends Id even recommend this place my to my enemies dont wait to try this place promise it will be everything and more then you expect.

Cafe Amore Bistro is one of Edmonton s Gems!!! The Italian cuisine is delicious and plentiful!! The drinks are excellent. The atmosphere cool and unique. And the staff is friendly, accommodating and treat you like a guest in their home. And the prices are reasonable, especially for the quality and quantity of food that they serve. After 2 visits it has become one of our favorite evenings out.

Had a family get together there on the 22nd of December. Always impressive!

This place is always spectacular.

This place will bring your tastebuds straight to Italy. My first time going was Thursday last week, and it will not be my last. The cocktails were unique and delicious! The place was busy even on a weekday, so be sure to make a reservation, and come with an appetite!

very good food and service. its nice to still have decent restaurants in Edmonton.

Dont live in Edmonton, but visit this place every time Im in Edmonton. The food, atmosphere and service are next level. Authentic Italian cuisine! One of a kind, highly recommend

Pros: service is some of the best I ve experienced in Alberta, great atmosphere with the volume of the singer just right. Cons: neighbourhood is a bit sketchy. I ve seen cars parked on the street with their windows smashed out after leaving this place. Food is meh. I know that won t be a popular opinion and I ll qualify it by saying Italian isn t my favourite. But I ve been here twice and both times I was underwhelmed with the food. I got the Amore Pescatore as it is their signature dish. Lots of sand in the shell fish, broken clam shells in the food, overall it was just ok. I should have known better ordering seafood in Alberta.

Nice a cozy place. Great place for a date

My wife and I just had a date night with fantastic food and service , our waitress Kelly was amazing and gave great suggestions on our meal, the ambassador was so friendly he made you feel like family! Highly recommended place to go to relax without feeling rushed

I cant speak to the food here, but wanted to add my two cents. We had no reservations and arrived as a walk in on a Saturday night. We walked in, and the man greeted us warmly. There were two patrons ahead of us (and Im assuming they were either regulars or friendly acquaintances) as they were greeted warmly and by their name. As we didnt have a reservation (on a Saturday night), and it would soon be packed, he had to turn us away as there wouldnt have been enough time to enjoy the meal. I was struck by his graciousness and genuine response. The atmosphere, ambiance, and friendly response made me disappointed we werent able to dine here, but next time Im in Edmonton Im going to make a reservation.

unreal food, great service, best Italian spot in the city

The food and service were amazing with generous portions well worth the money, but when it is busy, the air in the restaurant becomes stuffy and thick, making it hard to breathe. Several of my delegation experienced discomfort. Need to improve the air quality (I m not even sure air was circulating!). Still highly recommend but would love to enjoy the amazing food in a comfortable environment. Dietary restrictions: More halal and vegetarian options would be nice

Been here twice recently. Both times the servers were absolutely amazing and very pleasant to deal with. Usually you don t remember how good the servers were after dining but they left their mark! Food was incredible. First time I got the chicken parm. Very good and very cheesy. Chicken wasn t chewy, it seems like they use fresh chicken breasts and not frozen ones. Some restaurants have realt chewy chicken and you can tell its frozen. Not these guys! Second time I got the lobster mac and cheese. I love cheese and usually theres not enough cheese in the dishes I get. Not here! The cheesy goodness makes it one of the best Italian dishes I have had. Highly recommend Both times we had the Caesar salad and it was good too, except the 2nd time we got only the end pieces of the romaine lettuce and it was yellow/white instead of green. Still good regardless. Finally, it was very nice to see (who I think is) the owner/manager walking around and asking guests how they are enjoying their meal. We went near closing time and at the end he had a large plate of a dessert (it was some type of bread with chocolate) for everyone in the restaurant to have a small piece for free. Very thoughtful

The chicken Parm was delicious and massive.

Vegetarian options: Not many Parking: Limited space when restaurant is full Food : 5/5 |

Wow great little Italian place. Awesome food and service. Definitely will be back

Great drinks , great food , amazing service

Best Caprese salad Ive ever had, hands down.

Excellent food and friendly staff. Enjoyed a fantastic meal.

Very cozy, food was very delicious, brought a cake for my friend s birthday and the cake was so delicious.

This long standing, family run restaurant is a well-known and loved fixture of the community! The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive, and the food is exceptional! Everything on the menu is delicious, but I tend to now order the special, which never disappoints!

Great experience, food was delicious, staff really wants you to have a good experience

We loved the restaurant. Its cozy little traditional Italian restaurant. Loved the food, wine and environment. Our server was awesome. We had a great time on our first anniversary server even brought us complimentary anniversary shots. What a sweet gesture. Food

Such a great restaurant. Food was outstanding with incredible service. An absolute must to check out!!

EPIC night!! I ate like a KING and was treated like one.. do I need to say anything more.. Look at the pictures! I indulged in the King Pescatore(left overs of course) and my wife had the Chicken Parm(a favourite of hers). Enjoyed the live entertainment as well. Thanks to Chris and Vince.. what a great evening!! Of course, we will be back!

Had a delightful experience ! The atmosphere was charming, the service was impeccable, and the food was outstanding. Each dish showcased authentic flavours, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. A truly memorable dining experience that I look forward to repeating.

Great lunch specials

Always great service and delicious!

Everything about this place is a 10/10! Come have a lovely dinner!

Wow! Everything was perfection. Loved the atmosphere, we felt like we weren t in Edmonton and were transported somewhere else. I m very indecisive and the service was great. Our server confidently recommended dishes and we loved them all. Coconut margarita is a must and the smoked maple old fashioned! Crostini appetizer was packed with flavour. My partner loved the muscles and lamb. Finally found a place with homemade noodles. Food came out fast too. But the icing on the cake was the dessert, we were blown away. Big portions, we can t wait to have the leftovers. We will be back!

Another amazing meal at Cafe Amore! The meal and service were fantastic. Susan was attentive and so friendly. Truly one of the best service experiences we have ever had. The entertainment by Ferdie Sy added to the ambiance. We can t wait to come back again!

Vince was very attentive and helpful. We loved the food: the portions were amazing, food came really quickly, and they were all delicious and filling! We ordered the Mista salad, meatballs, lobster ravioli, pancetta bucatini, panna cotta and tiramisu. Well be back again to try different dishes from the menu. Thank you!

We feel this place to has the greatest meat bolognese sauce and pasta dish with meat balls of all time. For real! The owner is greeting you on the way in and out. The house Cesar drink and the house Cesar salad is incredible. The dessert menue to close the night off was spectacular. A must go to.

Awesome food and service! We ordered the Vongole pasta and the Pollo Parmigiana. I enjoyed both dishes, and the portion sizing is really good for the money spent.

We had an absolutely awesome meal tonight at cafe Amore Bistro. The atmosphere was fabulous with Ferdi Si playing music and our waitress Susan made our night out even better! Kudos to you Susan for being the best waitress and engaging with each of us at the table! Keep up the awesome work! Thanks to the owner for redirecting us to a table that was more suitable to our party of four! All in all 5 stars! Well done! Meal was delicious!

I love this place. The atmosphere is amazing and the service is great! And the food.....OMG its absolutely amazing!!!

Great Italian restaurant - interesting location. Food is generally excellent- not a fan of the sambuca pasta, very sweet and too strong. Bolognese was good. Chicken parmesan was very good too. Make sure you go on Monday as the mussels are excellent! Good winelist and very good tiramisu.

Food was decent but was a bit on pricey side. Service was amazing Food : 4/5

Allyn was our waitress last night to table 13, from when we arrived the host, the waitress, the atmosphere was amazing if I could giv a 10 start I would. The appetizers were amazing, the drinks were stunning, presentation was amazing, the food was supper delicioso . Our first time being at Cafe Amore Bistro. Awesome experience. The price is right.

The service was great. We got our food pretty quickly. Tartufo pasta and sangria were delish. Pork loins were overcooked and chewy. Overall, nice evening!

Great service! The food (mostly the veggies) was noticably on the salty side but it was still very good. Will for sure be back

My spouse and I went to celebrate a friend s birthday with a large group this last Saturday. I am embarrassed that the locale was recommended by me, because I ve had several nice meals at Cafe Amore Bistro in the past. Sadly, this experience was not as pleasant. Let me start off by saying that had it not been for the seafood dishes, I may have given a 3-star rating for my most recent experience, but when a restaurant serves a customer clearly-spoiled and rotten seafood, and when the extremely rude owner then tries to gaslight the customer and escalate a discrete complaint by making a scene at the table to convince the customer that the off-taste is merely the way they spice that particular dish , or alternatively, tries to shirk responsibility for serving spoiled seafood by placing the blame on his supplier (the owner tried BOTH excuses that day), then I feel the restaurant has nothing but contempt for the customer, and has no objection to putting profit over the health and well-being of its customers. This is what happened on Saturday. I ordered an appetiser and the pork-shoulder & risotto special. Others at the table ordered other various non-seafood dishes. Only my spouse ordered a seafood main course (the vongole). When the server brought out the food, reactions were mixed around the table. My own meal was meh the risotto was cold in the middle, the vegetables overcooked, and the pork shoulder was piping hot and smothered in sauce to hide that it was a little dry. Certainly not the most palatable dish I ve ever tasted, but far from inedible. Others around the table had varying reviews on their selections from absolutely delicious to bland but okay . My spouse however had a different experience entirely with his clams and linguine. The pasta was wonderfully al dente, with a tasty sauce. But as soon as he ate one clam, he spat it out expressing disgust, saying he got a bad clam, and that it was bitter and totally spoiled. He tried another and spat it out as well. Now, my spouse is a seafood gourmand, and well-travelled eating seafood all over the world in all sorts of establishments. He asked me to taste another clam to ensure his tastebuds were not off that day. I did, took a few chews, and spat it out immediately. It was clearly spoiled, bitter, and revolting. It was difficult to get the bitter taste out of my mouth. We called the server who suggested that my spouse was mistaken, as manila clams taste different than the other clams most people are used to . This was complete gaslighting. My husband responded that manila clams are usually sweeter and juicier than other varieties of clam, but these clams were bitter, spoiled, and clearly off . The owner/manager was clearly irritated at the complaint, and very rude as he tried to argue with my spouse, implying that my spouse just didn t know his seafood, or that his taste profile was off, and they could do nothing about that . However, he offered to prepare something different, which my husband accepted. He ordered the same dish with prawns instead of clams. Bad mistake! When the substitute arrived, it was the same story. The prawns had a distinct bleach-like ammonia taste and smell, they had a slimy, mushy texture, and were also clearly off. I don t know when the restaurant gets its seafood delivery, but it was apparent that their seafood was NOT fresh, and that they were clearing out old product, assuming their customers were not sophisticated enough to know the difference. The owner insisted that the prawns were peeled that very day , as if that in any way established their freshness. The incredibly rude owner/manager began to raise his voice and try to bully our table that his seafood was fresh, but if there was a problem, it was his supplier s fault. My spouse said he wouldn t be eating the dish, but we were not asking for anything we just wanted them to know that their seafood was spoiled. We were charged full price anyway, and after paying more than $200 for our meal, my husband was ill and vomiting throughout the night. Won t be going back!

I had a great time here! I came here on a whim after googling some Italian restaurants, and now I am hoping to come back many more times! The cocktails are well crafted, and the food is very fresh and well made. I was worried about the portion sizes, but I left very full, happy, and satisfied. Ill definitely recommend amore bistro to anyone looking for a nice restaurant in Edmonton!

My Husband and I have loved this restaurant for many years. They have the best mussels ( Monday s $10.00 for a pd) plump and fresh off the plane that day. We live between Vancouver and Edmonton, by far it is the best mussels in Edmonton and very few places in Vancouver beat it. Great menu without feeling the economic pinch we are experiencing. The food is amazing and so is the experience. This is a must try and great value for your money.

Amazing experience and flavor. Highly recommend Cafe Amore as an evening out as a couple or with a group of friends. Every plate brought a new flavor!

This is a fantastic Italian restaurant! I love good pasta and I love seafood and these folks do both exquisitely! The feel is a very authentic Italian cafe. It s bright, busy, great music, people talking and laughing and servers smiling while they take care of you with a friendly professionalism that is hard to find. The menu has options for every kind of carb lover and then some! If you re looking for a delicious dinner with friends, family, or coworkers, or just a romantic dinner for two or three (No judgement), this is a can t miss option. Molto buona!!!
