211 Martindale Rd, St. Catharines, ON L2S 3H9, Canada
Relaxed, family-run kitchen in a strip mall since 1995 with wood-fired pizza & Mediterranean dishes.
We accidentally fell upon this restaurant on our way back from Niagara Outlets and we are SO happy we did. The service and ambience were excellent. The food was absolutely delicious. Calamari was terrific and pasta dishes were large and included a side salad. Poseidon’s pasta was loaded with seafood! We haven’t left a restaurant being this impressed in a long time. Although this is a bit far from where we live, we are definitely bringing family and friends for dinner soon!! Photos: Calamari, Steak with Gorgonzola, Poseidon’s pasta with Alfredo sauce
Value is fantastic! We were very excited about the happy birthday dessert (not complementary). The mushroom ravioli pasta was surprisingly good, and I will be back for more! Our server was friendly but seemed to hesitate at any request; ingredients, takeout, gift cards, etc. She did not ask about the occasion or offer birthday congratulations (even though it was listed in the reservation). Happy Birthday was only on the desert because before buying a desert, I specifically asked if they did anything for birthdays.
Lonely atmosphere. Beautifully decorated. The space appeared small at first, yet not overly crowded. We were able to gather with our family in a space that was open to the restaurant yet felt private. A lot of options on the menu. Something for everyone. Food was prepared well with Pleasant presentation. Staff well-educated on the menu, and get things moving rather swiftly. Little wait time. Appreciate the extra attention to detail when it comes to a special occasion celebration. Great assortment of Cheesecake for after dinner dessert. Be aware that there's no children's menu, portions are simply made smaller. Highly advised to review the menu before booking a reservation so you're aware of the options.
Food was delicious, service was great, staff was attentive and friendly. Didn't have to wait too long for the food to arrive.
Since moving back to the St Catharines area I have been once again able to visit this amazing restaurant. The food is always fresh and fantastic. Drinks on point and delicious, especially the sangria! And the desserts are next level. Sometimes I just visit with friends for dessert. Definitely one of the best places to get pasta in the city, if not the best. Great atmosphere for date nights as well. There's a reason they have been doing the same things for years! Quality!
I haven't visited Cafe Amore for some time. A small group of us came for a birthday lunch. We had a starter of fried cheese and it was very tasty. I then had quiche and salad and it was great, portion size was good and food came out quick. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Prices are in line with other places and menu options good. Our Server was very helpful and took good care of us. Thanks for a good experience!
My wife and I haven't been back to Cafe Amore since April 17, 2019. It's always a pleasure to eat here. Our server was great, the food was impeccable, see you again in less than 5 years.
Once a year, my family goes to Cafe Amore. The food is excellent quality, the service exceptional, presentation delightful. The flavors are quite extraordinary and one of a kind. Definitely a place to celebrate all occasions for great memories.
We had a party of nine for a birthday celebration, the service was friendly and efficient, the food was excellent, we had a wonderful time.
Good value great atmosphere frequent this place fairly often we enjoy it Parking: Loads Food : 4/5 |
food was good staff friendly service was good
It was the first time in the restaurant. I love it.
Wonderful dinning experience I had the fish special it was delicious. I would recommending trying it. It was s beautiful sea bass. The latte was nice and the vanilla bean cheesecake was a treat.make a reservation they are a busy spot
Lunch was good as was the service. I had the fish and chips . Very tasty. Price was reasonable.
My favourite restaurant for family celebrations, never disappoints.
We made dinner reservations on Wednesday. My wife had received company award after a promotion. We were looking forward to have a good time at the restaurant. After we were seated, the waitress implied that with the award voucher we could not be served on Friday. Owener refused to give us permission to be served. We were basically asked to leave the restaurant. For someone elses mistake we paid time and money . Thanks to another restaurant who made up for it with excellent hospitality. We will certainly share this experience with our colleagues.
Surprisingly disappointed. Food was ok, service was slow. We had a good variety of appetizers, pizza, pasta, and soukvlaki. Roasted garlic appetizer was great! My soukvlaki wasnt all that different from Mr Greek, not worth the $25. Lots of people told me this place was great but honestly not that impressed. My wifes pizza looked good (Mediterranean chicken) but it was mostly cheese once we tried it. Maybe they are better on the weekends or we caught them on an off day. Not sure I would go back. Given how busy the restaurant was, there really shouldnt be an excuse for the experience.
Everything from service to appetizers to main entree to dessert was absolutely superb. Cant wait to go back and try more items from the menu, and another spectacular dessert!!
Food is to die for especially the gluten free desserts. This is the gluten free peanut butter brownie cheesecake. One word AMAZING!!!!!
Great place to share with your family and friends. Everything was fine. The dolce vitta pizza we had to order again because it was so good and everyone wanted one more piece perfect sweet taste good place to have a dinner. Is my second time at that place, and when I visit St Catherines again I will try the Lunch it must be amazing as well.
My husband and I enjoyed a long awaited date (life with young kids at home). The food was exceptional, the service was kind and not-too-present, and the fireplace and soft lighting made for a quiet setting. We have come here before but were more impressed this last seating. Cafe Amore has upped their game! It is on the pricy side and I really miss their fixed price menu (pre covid) but there are more affordable options too. The food quality was sensational. This might be our date night choice #1 now!
Very popular spot for dining,Great atmosphere and wonderful food
Fell upon this place accidently. It looks like nothing special from the outside , just a strip mall restaurant . The inside is another story, quaint and fun with an outstanding atmosphere. Every single staff member is polite and looks happy to work there. The food was perfect and very reasonably priced . Will definitely recommend.
Excellent food and service in a very busy restaurant.
Great pasta always Dietary restrictions: Asked for food to be made with less oil and had no issues accommodating Food : 5/5 |
Awesome
visited with my girlfriend. the food was great. the waiter, Mnewemiembe was very nice and provided great service. will come back again.
Went here after a recommendation. Food and service are exceptional. Generous portions, cozy atmosphere. Mwene our server was charming and attentive I will be back!
Great place for dinner. Food is great and portions are generous
Great food and great service!!
Outstanding food! The pizza is incredible. Our server was very pleasant, and the atmosphere superb
Romantic meal with my wife. Good selection of desserts.
This was the first time we tried Cafe Amore, and we were so impressed with the great atmosphere; the food was delicious, with nice portions and at a very reasonable price, and the service was great; our waitress was so pleasant. This is one of our new favourites, and we will definitely go back. Food
Ordered the cajun pasta, delicious BUT SO MUCH OIL!
Great place for dinner! Will go back often. Great food and value. It was a busy night and I was in a rush had to get my entree to go. Appetizer and soup were delicious!
Great dinner!
Group of 8. We had a bunch of apps and main dishes. Everyone loved all the food everything was cooked to perfection. Service was excellent thank you Hawkleen(sorry if I misspelled your name). Items we had Pizza of course Bruschetta Stuffed mushrooms Mussels Lamb Salmon Steak gorgonzola Spinach artichoke dip Roasted garlic
My wife and I decide to try Cafe Amore to celebrate our Anniversary. We ordered the Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms as our appetizer and we both thought it was good. Before we had our Entree we had a Caesar Salad. We found that the salad lacked flavor, the dressing was more like a Vinaigrette,and a slice of bread which was toasted,but was cold. For our Entrees my wife had the Chicken Marsala,and I had the Four Cheese Cajun Chicken, both were excellent. We would both come back and try something else. The wood fire Pizza menu looked really good. Parking: Mid size Plaza with adequate parking spaces.
The atmosphere is relaxing. The service was amazing and the fettuccine Alfredo, garlic feta shrimp and tossed salad was delicious!! Great food!!
great food and service. really enjoyed the meals. good size portion and tons of flavor Wheelchair accessibility: easy strip mall parking and entrance.
Excellent meal! Great service! Recommended by friends, they were very right!
Everything about this restaurant is perfect. Go here!!! Brenda is an absolute treasure!
The food and service was good. She could ve been a little more attentive had to ask quite a few times for certain things to other servers but overall she was very nice. My big complaint was the washroom smell like urine it wasn t very clean.
I tried this restaurant for the first time today after an appointment and ordered takeout. My experience from the start was amazing. Beautiful smiling servers all greeted me at the entrance, helped me promptly to get my takeout, and anyone passing by made sure to check Id been looked after. After taking my meal home I was pleasantly delighted by how fresh my salad was. How perfectly seasoned the dressing was (Greek starter salad) and for a pregnant lady, my fettuccine Alfredo (my newest pregnancy obsession) was perfect. Buttery ! Creamy ! 10/10 couldnt be happier. The restaurant was beautiful and clean. This will definitely be a new favorite for any occasion that I need to get together with family or friends. If takeout was this good I can only imagine how well the dine-in service would be. Much love. Cheers!
The food was amazing, and the portions were huge Grear atmosphere and our server was very helpful suggesting great options and super friendly.
Margarita Pizza was very lackluster. It needed a little more cheese and a lot more basil. This was a bit of a letdown as I brought my parents there and recommended the pizza.
I ve never been there before & boy u dont know what ur missing! It was EXCELLENT!!! I had Sslmon with a lemon sauce, green beans & asparagus & tomato in there as well!!! I have to go back next time im in Ontario!! Plus lemon mouse cheesecake to die for & my friend had snicker cheesecake & she said it was delicious as well plus we shared an app stuffed mushrooms very good!!! And yes i had to bring some home! Plus we each had a garden salad Waitress was awesome as well
Love it! Its an amazing experience. I couldnt say enough good things about the food, the service, and the atmosphere. All spectacular.
The food was fine, service was terrible
Our favourite pizza, we love the atmosphere and the food is always great, my fiancé loves the pizza there and even though we have tried many other Italian places in the region, they don t compare to cafe amore
as a customer...happy with the experience.... not cheap...but what is today ...we left $177 there for a dinner for two....2 appetizers, 3 drinks, plate of reasonably good paella plate for two...caffe lattes and a piece of cake we should not have ordered....except the cake, the whole experience was more than acceptable and quite enjoyable....thank you to the friendly server to make our dinner time feel good even though not cheap...we might be coming back if I want to be really picky..as a customer, if I make a small request to remove the peel from the citrus vedges in my Sangria drink at the bar..one would expect that it would be done with pleasure especially if I leave $177 on the table for the dinner served?!?!....not the case...the drink was served with the peel attached
Great dining experience.
Last night was my first time at Cafe Amore. I celebrated my birthday there with my boyfriend and 6 other friends. We waited 10 mins for our order to be taken but the server was extremely apologetic about the wait. My boyfriend and I ordered Pina Coladas and my friend and her boyfriend ordered a Margarita and Mojito. After our orders were placed, the server told us there were no piña coladas. So we changed the order to daiquiris. Our drinks came and I got a piña colada and 2 mins later we also got the daiquiris. But the server told us we will not be charged for the daiquiris and they also brought us bruschetta on the house. At that moment the server told my friends that they did not have mojitos and margaritas. Shortly after the food came out and honestly it was so good that I forgot about everything that happened prior. I will definitely visit again with hopes that they have their full selection of cocktails.
My very good friend and I always pick different places for lunch. We decided to go here for lunch on April 26th. My friend had been here before this was my first time. Nice place, food, bartender needs to go back to school. I started with a Chocolate Martini. My friend just had water. It was the worst Chocolate Martini I ve ever had. Way too much Vodka the drink wasn t balanced. I don t know what the chocolate was but it definitely wasn t chocolate liquor. Hmmmm maraschino cherries in it, not even a martini glass. Needless to say one small sip I was done. Sent back told waitress it was awful. No charge of course. I think Carol had the Moroccan Chicken Sandwich; Grilled fresh chicken breast in their own Moroccan-inspired sauce of roasted peppers, tomatoes, garlic and spices. Served with fresh greens and tomato. Carol said it was good but the fries were so so. Some fries were not cooked. I had the Roasted Garlic and Goat Cheese platter. Roasted bulb of fresh garlic, hot in the pan herbed goat cheese, balsamic glaze, roasted peppers, fig jam, homemade focaccia bread crostini. Excellent!!
Great food, good service
Great food and service
Lovely place for a meal. Food is really quite good. The atmosphere is very cosy.
Service is very slow. Be sure you have an extra hour in your schedule.
Good food
When reservations were made a birthday celebration was mentioned but was not acknowledged.
Great food always
Super delicious meal! Got the Mussels, Baked Shrimp, Striploin, and Seafood Pasta. All incredibly delicious and fresh tasting... also, they give bread with everything! Come ready to eat lol. The salad included with the entrée is also a very pleasant touch. Overall a great experience for a reasonable price!
Cozy little cafe. Food was delicious. Service was quick and super friendly. Loved the black and blue pasta Kid-friendliness: High chair
Our server was great! The ambience here is to die for! We visited this place for the first time and are already thinking about our next visit. We loved their wood fired pizza, apps and black and blue pasta.
Ive eaten there a number of times the food is very good they have a real fireplace and outdoor patio that is dog friendly Parking: Its in the mall so there are a number of stores plus the Royal Bank
Fast and friendly service. Food was delicious. Definitely a favourite!
First time at Cafe Amore. Our server was terrific. She is a Trinidadian and very attentive to us. The food was good the crab and shrimp pasta and that yummy, gooey chocolate cake.
One of the best meals and atmospheres I have ever had.
In the last 15 years when I come visit St Catharines, every so often I would eat at Cafe Amore. The service is always good and friendly, they treat you like a friend instead of just a customer. The price and portion are reasonable and taste is good.
Great service, excellent food and a great atmosphere. This place has it all.
Great good! servers were attent! Highly recommend this place
Good GF pasta. Wish they had GF pizza and other offerings. A little pricey for the portion, especially for lunch.
The food was really good! I spent my birthday here. The service was slow
Best Italian Food in Niagara . BAR NONE on a good day 100 percent . But I think my wife and friends have been going here to long as eventually your not going to be happy as follows . So we got a table for 4 friday night...will just get into the negatives for now...Ceasar salad 50 percent of it was going brown we couldnt believe it. The sauce on the veal parm....we just dont know why its so bad ..its not like any type of authentic sauce its more like a canned sauce ..taste anyway. Bruchsetta was horrible...do this simple you dont have to have it all covered in greens all greasy and hard bread not warm only cold its just something so simple if you just do the basics for it ..sent back it was not good. After we stacked up all the dishes on table the owner came by didnt even say a word its like he was taking plates from a empty table..Back in the day he use to say how was everything ..appreciate you coming...Even owners can get complacent and he sure has become that way over the last couple years...Anyway its good to experience other restaurants as well like Lina Linguines a mile away we visited last week was a bit of fresh air from Cafe Amore. Great food real Italian ...more expensive yes..wait staff not overly the best compared to Amores ..but I believe its still worth the change from time to time. Anyway Cafe Amore best wait staff anywhere ..they are the best ..they are lucky they have those people because at least the service is above par. I think the owner should sell or give to his son to inject a little pizzaz into the place and spend more time recognizing his valued customers that make him a TON LOAD of cash . Just sayin ....I do believe Cafe Amore is slightly over rated in reviews for what people give it credit for.
I had my dinner tonight at Cafe Amore and actually it was a great experience The food was great and we enjoyed every bit Adriana was our server and her service is exceptionally great Thanks Allan and Cafe Amore for the night
A rare find with 5 stars all around. We know our server was great and that made a big difference... but food and atmosphere were very nice as well. We went for a special occasion and they made it special.
What a great restaurant. Cant wait to get back there
Very friendly and attentive waitress, delicious food and great decor throughout.
Service was great, The food was not what i would expect from a place that says they serve Italian food. My spaghetti was over cooked to the point it was soft and mushy. The red sauce was another story all together lacked flavour and was way too watery. Bench seat cushions all ripped up. The place needs a little love put back into it for sure I feel.
Found this place years ago and every time Im in the St Catharines area, I try to stop in. Ive only ever had the pizza - absolutely fantastic! Real wood oven pizza cant be beat. Other folks Im with have had other entrées and theyre always plentiful and hit the spot! I love that they serve Konzelmann wine! I wish all restaurants in Southern Ontario served Ontario wines but they dont so this is amazing, I love it. Cant wait till next time!!
It was ok the pizza wasnt that good it was burned on the top from the wood oven the cheese didnt stretch so I am not sure if it is Italian restaurant.
Always perfection
The food and service was absolutely outstanding. I cannot ask for anything more from any place.
Dinner for Two, Booked a reservation and everything was prepared. Service was friendly and accommodating. Fried provolone and mussels were excellent appetizers. Ordered a few drinks and they were well received. Salad and NY steak dinner was very good as well. Unfortunately no room for dessert. Everything was perfect.They even fixed a mistake graciously. Mind you our experience was amazing. Regardless something to remember when dinning out. Let s not sweat the small stuff. These are good people that provide a fair service. My favourite place to dine out. The chef is awesome still touching tables. Cheers guys thank you again . See you soon
Great food & service...
A warm and welcoming place, delicious cuisine
Had a wonderful evening with family and friends!
The spicy Caesar salad is delicious. Service is excellent. Always great good, great service!
A lovely experience all around. Carne pizza and Grilled Lamb Chops!
Amazing food, great service and fantastic atmosphere!
Always delicious food and great service
Food was great and the customer service as well. I would come back again and try out a different dish. Lots of parking.
Great food, superior service and all around friendliness for a News Years Eve dinner from the entire staff .
What a great little place to enjoy a meal at. The food is awesome, the service is great, the portions are generous, AND the prices are quite reasonable. I highly recommend this place.
Wow, just great place!
Loved it. Meal was great.
Had a group of 18 ladies dining at Cafe Amore last night. We had 3 servers ! That never happens elsewhere. Food was terrific. Everyone wants to go back again. Sorry, no pics were taken. Parking: Free parking within the plaza.
Thoroughly enjoyed my birthday dinner here tonight. Blackened Chicken & Risotto was one of the specials and no regrets in choosing it- absolutely delicious! Logan served us and made our visit that much better. He earns the highest rating in all aspects of his work- we look forward to seeing him again. This place is easily my favourite to eat at in the area.
Great food and service, st a good price
Good service, good food, and nice atmosphere. Had the Shrimp, crab and garlic Alfredo. Very tasty but Alfredo is not a finger food. Remove the tails from the shrimp prior to cooking.
Was very disappointed in my meal and the waitress was awful She only can back to the table to give us our bill and she wanted a big tip never asked us if we would like coffee I don t recommend this place
Save room for dessert.
Thank you Cafe Amore!! Myself and 3 friends were there tonight celebrating our 65th birthdays and our decades of friendship. Deanna P. was our server and she made the experience even better with her wonderful service and even taking a few pictures for us !! The food was fabulous!!
Flavourless food. Good service. Won t return.
Went here while visiting Niagra falls, Ontario. Service and atmosphere were good. Food was tasty and not too overpriced. Dessert was kind of disappointing.
Stopped in here for dinner and everything was phenomenal. We got a pizza and 3 different pasta dishes and every single thing was perfect. Service was fast and the staff was extremely friendly and kind. Can t recommend this place enough and can t thank the staff enough for their kindness and hospitality.
Amazing food, great staff. Very reasonable with price and lots of food. Dish sizes are gray be hungry.
The best restaurant in st Catharine s I go here for a after work drink from time to tine The food prices is very reasonable the menu consists of mouthwatering finger licking good Options to choose from. And the most attractive thing there is the big dirt oven where they bake your pizza in front of you while you wait on it The waitresses are very beautiful and welcoming makes you feel at home I have one of them a $40 cash tip and she said it was too much lol Highly recommended restaurant to take your family/ friends/ or significant other! Parking Great atmosphere Clean environment 10/10
Waitress was rude, food was mediocre, and time waiting for the food was OVER AN HOUR. Absolutely not going there again. Food
Will forever be one of the best Italian spots in town. the menu changes quite often but never seems to get worse
I liked the vibe. The staff were very understanding and nice. We only went in for cheesecake and coffee but it was a very pleasant experience and the price was not bad. I loved the vibe. Would recommend especially if you re going on a date.
We enjoyed a lovely, relaxing early dinner here. Our waitress was personable and attentive, and the salads and entrees were served promptly. The stuffed sole was succulent, and the blue and black pasta was also 10/10. Well be back!
Awesome food great drinks great service
Was told they close at 9pm on Sunday Fathers Day, arrived at 8:45pm & wouldn t take us for in or for take out! Great spot but don t say your open if your actually closed!
Its been several years since I last visited Cafe Amore because I live in Costa Rica and operate a hotel and restaurant there. What a surprise to walk in and find the restaurant so beautifully appointed! Our server, Logan, was both personable and knowledgeable about the menu. He attended our table in a timely fashion to take orders, deliver the food, and clear the table. The food was incredible! We met the pizza maker Xavier, who prepared the BEST prosciutto, arugula pizza I have ever tasted. The wood oven style of cooking allowed for a perfect pizza! We were 6 people, and the bill was very fairly priced. It was a fabulous place for a family night out! Kudos to the owners and staff. Youve done a great job!!
Service and food were great. Went on a recommendation, and wasnt disappointed.
Emily was fantastic. We will ask for her again next time. She is pleasant, took the time to chat with us and made us feel like family, not just a number. She is a fantastic server and we loved our experience (and always love the food)!
A little hidden gem!! Would go back for real food ..just stopped in for a capicinno and expresso..waitress was really nice Food
Havent been in about 3-4 years. The food was absolutely amazing. The place has changed a bit but for the better. Will definitely try and get back more often
Great food selection, portion sizes and quality. Salmon with the four cheese on top was delicious. Service was great as well, menu not overpriced. Very cute ambience for date night!
Cajun Chicken is delicious.
Used to come here for dinner all the time with my family especially because of the gluten free and dairy free options since myself and my mom are celiac. After today though I won t be back, this is the second time in my gf pasta there has been a gluten noodle in my dish. Wouldn t recommend if you have any allergies!
Definitely would recommend
Last week, my wife and I celebrated our 54th anniversary and we were pleasantly surprised with a key lime cheesecake dessert that was given to us at the end of our meal. We eat here often and are always pleased with the servers. They are friendly and very caring individuals. And of course the food is always superb. My wife particularly loves your lunch time quiche. She says your mushroom soup is absolutely great!! Kenn and Judy Kraeker
Tonight s dinner was absolutely wonderful! Not only was the food very yummy, but the portions were large. I could only manage to finish half of my entree (I was saving room for dessert which was also delightful). I do have to say that our server Andrea really made it seem like we were having dinner with an old friend. She was so personable and sweet. We will definitely be back soon.
Well we are regulars at both this restaurant and the Valley inn. We went there tonight to celebrate my wifes birthday, only complaint my wife ordered a 9oz glass of house wine had one sip and accidently knocked the glass over spilling it on the table. The waitress came over quickly to clean it up not necessary but it would have been nice if they had offered to replace it Parking: plenty
It was a very good place to have a Birthday dinner with family. All the food was well seasoned and delicious! Especially Crab & Shrimp Garlic Alfredo was awesome. I had leftover next day, It was the exact same taste and perfect texture of noodle!
Very calm relaxed atmosphere with delicious food
Food was fantastic ! Unfortunately there was hair in my pasta. Not a huge deal, they gave me a fresh meal. Which came after everyone else in my party was done eating. There was no compensation on our bill,no free glass of wine while I waited not even a desert. What I was given was a 10 off card that I could use the NEXT TIME I came. Tsk tsk, very poor customer service.
Food was excellent, service was wonderful.
Was Always been a good meal at a good price till today. Service was horribly slow. Bruschetta bread was ice cold. Salad was way too salty. Very disappointed. 1 hr and 30 minutes for a light lunch. Not that busy at 130pm.
Food was fantastic. Service was great. Definitely want to go back and try more dishes
Great menu! Miss the pina coladas though. You made the best ones!! Peach pizza was to die for! Burgers are top notch and fries are on par. Great place for a girls lunch!
My favourite place to have a nice evening out with my wife. Great food great staff beautiful atmosphere
First visit and we were very pleased with our experience! Fantastic service- Attentive and helpful. Ingredients tasted super fresh and everything was absolutely delicious: Fromaggio Fritto, House Garden Salad, Poseidons Pasta, Chicken Parm and Peanut Butter Brownie Cheesecake Chicken parm was EXCELLENT value the price
Great food!
I ve been going to this restaurant for years, since it was on Lake Street. We ordered takeout and we re told it would be an hour at least, which we were ok with. The food was cold, pizza was not even edible, nor were the sides. So disappointed. We won t be going there or ordering for a long time. Maybe not again :( too bad because we love to support local.
Everything was excellent and we will return.
I absolutely love this place!!! Food is always top notch! The staff is always very polite! If you go and love blue cheese, get one of their Gorgonzola dishes.....out of this world!!
Food was delicious
We got to eat outside! The dinner was amazing and the staff was friendly. I would highly recommend going here for date night! Vegetarian options: They had atleast 10 dishes that were vegetarian! Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options available! Parking: Tons of spaces! It s in a plaza Wheelchair accessibility: Yes!
New to St Catherines we went here for an anniversary dinner it is definitely not fine dining more like diner food but not tasty .We ordered Saganaki it was ok and sea food stuffed mushrooms they where filled with brocilli and cheese horrible .Husband had chicken Parm sauce was like out off a can I had Island sea food pasta 7 pieces off seafood and was terrible .Our bottle off wine came warm .Needless to say we didnt order desert or after dinner drinks .
Been wanting to try this place for a while. Was not disappointed at all. Fantastic steak and mash. The veggies were cooked perfectly and the salad and garlic bread were equally delicious. Cant wait to go back and try more of their menu. Will definitely be bringing family/friends along.
Food is always tasty and consistent, addition of wood-fired pizzas are delicious and the Wings are a real sleeper!
Food is mediocre, dessert (cake) is too sweet but decent. Ordered pizza and paid $18 taste is not exceptional but not worth the price. My company ordered a burger which is smaller than average burger and she paid $25 Definitely for a meal that wouldnt fill you up, considered too overpriced. Good for 1 time visit only just to try it out.
Been several years since weve been here to eat. Great food. Great service. Nice quiet atmosphere, fabulous evening. Thanks!
Slightly overpriced and bland not so Authentic Italian food. Service was great and atmosphere not bad
Terry was an amazing server and had a great time! She went above and beyond to make sure our experience was one to remember. The food was next level delicious from the arugula and prosciutto salad to the chicken parmesan dinner with garlic mash.
I dined at Cafe Amore in the middle of August. I experienced the most uncomfortable, ignorant and judgmental service of my life. The waitress made multiple inappropriate comments about my weight and also questioned the person I was dinning with why she wasnt drinking. I called and spoke to the manager a week later and he too was in shock with the service I received. He told me the owner was away and would contact me when he returned. That was over a month ago and I have not received a phone call. Dine here if you want to be belittled by staff, and if you dont just go to McDonalds they have better service.
Excellent food and atmosphere!
My favorite restaurant in Niagara. Food and service are both excellent
I had the steak and gorgonzola pasta, let me tell ya, the only disappointment I had was when I finished my plate! I was stuffed but wanted more!! Great portions, great quality food. The pasta was cooked perfectly, steak medium as requested and very good. The sangria I drank with my dinner was delicious. I plan on making a trip back just to get the same dish. I have zero complaints. Wonderful place all around.
Food was pretty good, but not outstanding. I ordered the quiche which came as a 5-inch (?) diameter pie, accompanied with a little salad. Fortunately I wasnt too hungry.
Very noisy. But good food !
Excellent food and service.
Great place for Mediterranean fare. Delicious desserts as well. Black and Blue pasta was fabulous.
Best pasta and cheescake in the city Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten-free options Food : 5/5 |
Really good food and service server was friendly and witty
What a restaurant. Everything I have ever tried there has been amazing. The carne pizza and the calamari are both to die for. Decent prices as well. I will go as far as to say this is the best option for St.Catharines
What a gem of a restaurant! The food, the atmosphere and the service all make date night a success when you go to Cafe Amore!
Great food, atmosphere and service. Pleased to find out that it s more a restaurant than a cafe.
My husband and I love this restaurant! We are from out of town and love to come here for special occasions. The food is great!
We had stuffed mushrooms caps, fried fontana with sauce as apps and for the mains: black and blue chicken penne pasta and the chicken gorgonzala pasta.. we had the Ceasars salad( amazing dressing) and garden salad (amazing dressing) the salad was served with homemade tasty soft bread that you just wanted to eat more of!!! Then amazing cheesecake for dessert. The service and attention of staff, excellent! We can only say!!! Wow! We would eat here again .. if we come back to st catherines. What a great place for great meal. Parking: Lots
