That’s Amore

In 3 years of vacationing in NSB, this is the first time my wife and I have dined at That’s Amore. Another Italian restaurant in town gets all the press, but Amore takes the «best in town» prize. We each ordered a different dinner special, both were excellently prepared and presented. The portions were large and they were delicious. My baked ziti was rich with ricotta and the sauce was thick and tasty. My wife had grouper with muscles served over pasta. Our house wine was very good and a generous pour. We finished off the meal by sharing a large cannoli. It was good but perhaps a little too much cinnamon. We will return and try their Sicilian style pizza next.
A few days later we returned, as we enjoyed the food so much. Food was again delicious. Service was great. However, the owner was present this evening. A loud and obnoxious person. The restaurant was crowded and there was a line of folks waiting for a table. This loudmouth yells at the diners to breath through their noses and keep shoveling food into their mouths. He groped several of the young women who were waiting for a table. If we ever return, we will make sure he is not there before we enter. Too bad, because the food is very good.

I have been to this restaurant several times in the past for lunch as the food is always excellent.
I returned on Valentines Day for dinner with family. What should have been a special evening became a nightmare. The co-​owner was present in the dining room for most of the 2 hours and was extremely obnoxious. He often shouted, hit on women and shined a very bright flashlight at people. Fortunately the waiter said this owner does not come in often. I may return for the food but will leave immediately if this owner is present.

Excellent place. Friendly waitstaff and thorough busboys for water, bread, and refills.

This place has really good italian food. The caeser salad had crisp lettuce, crunchy homemade croutona, and a really good homemade dressing with just the right balance of flavors. I had the spaghetti pescatore and it had lots of fresh seafood in a really good tomato sauce over al dente pasta. The tiramisu is homemade and delicious. The place is loud and it isn’t fancy, but that doesn’t bother me.

The very best spaghetti and meatballs I have ever had. Outstanding homemade sauce.
Excellent service and very nice servers.

Great italian restaurant just a few blocks from the beach. Good selection of salads, appetizers, and entrees. Portion size is big and food is made from scratch. The red sauce and pesto were both excellent. Outdoor seating is great but it’s on the road so no view. Prices are reasonable and service was great the first time we went not so good the second. Would still recommend if you’re hungry and want good food near the beach.

The Lasagna and Eggplant Rollatoni were excellent. Service was good. Our waiter spoke Italian, very authentic, not a fast food place.

Love this place. Every Time I go see my mother she asks so I know you what to go out for dinner and I say yes we are going to Thats Amore. Her boyfriend just told me he want in to make sure I call him to go too. We all Love the people and the food. Its just a great place that makes you feel good and gives the best meal. If I live in FL I would be there all the time. I took my brother and his wife out the last time we were there and hes still talking about how he can’t wait to get down there again. Keep up the good work.

Great service! Great food! Great everything! I did my wedding dinner here, and the food was amazing, and I’m from Europe, I know REAL amazing Italian food!!!
Just a reminder to all the food «experts», keep in mind that it’s Italian food not Americanized-​Italian!!!
The service was impeccable and the owner is a very nice funny guy! You can tell he is like the cool uncle to his employees! He was great as well! Definitely coming here when I’m in NSB!!!

We got take out only because we didn’t want to go out later. Had chicken parm & antipasto appetizer. Very good I am sure would have been 5 stars if ate there. Very quaint & outdoor seating. Yummy!

I have taken a variety of factors into account for this review First, if I were to compare my meal here with the ones I’ve had at The Garlic, this one wins hands down! The service here is better. The location is perfect and so is the bread. Although I think their fish needs some help, everything else is on point. I posted some photos of our salads … They were fresh and well composed. Come here early though because it gets loud and crowded at peak hours.

My parents are obsessed with this place. They ate here almost every day of their week long vacation. So I decided to try it out with them — twice. I have to say that both times I was very underwhelmed. The service isn’t very good, although the servers are nice. You will not get in and out of this place in a timely fashion.
My favorite part about this place is probably their balsamic vinegar that they give you with your bread, it’s really very good and I believe they make it. It really disappointed me to see they don’t even make their pasta fresh, it’s boxed and it’s advertised on their menu! I will say of the two dishes I had there, the Chicken Marsala was very good. I asked for it with veggies, as I learned after my first time there. My dad loved their tiramisu but I have definitely had better. Also, it can get very loud and if they have the doors open, hot.
For NSB this place is decent, but it would definitely not be my first choice.

Food was good, the atmosphere was good.

You must go to this restaurant! Authentic Italian food that is crazy delicious. The service was fabulous and our waiter was from Spain which added to the authenticity of our visit. Order whatever you want off the menu, it’s all really good.

Called on a Sunday night to order pizza for take out. Kid on the phone asked me to «hang on a second.» He set the phone down, then I heard him complain that all he’s done is answer the phone and couldn’t get anything else done. Then he complained about the previous caller who’d called to order 7 pizzas. Hey genius — THATS WHAT YOU DO — you take orders for people who want FOOD. If this irritates you, find another job!
Needless to say, Mr. Employee-​of-​the-​year never picked the phone back up to take my order. I timed it and was on hold for 8 MINUTES before finally hanging up and giving my business to Stavro’s (great pizza, by the way!).
Too bad this place doesn’t care more about the public it serves. I did try calling back a couple of times, but no one ever picked up the phone.

Great service delicious food, homemade yummy delicious tomato sauces, fresh meatballs, great gnocchi, everybody enjoyed the mocha tiramisu, wonderful family owned intimate atmosphere. Fresh salads, good bread.

Went for lunch on a Saturday and it was 50% full. They have a tv over bar and along the wall so you can watch sports. They bring you warm white bread with olive oil/​balsamic vinegar for dipping. For an entrée, my brother and I split the lasagna. They didn’t charge us a sharing charge and even cut the lasagna and put it on separate plates. For $ 12 it comes with a salad which had romaine lettuce and a yummy vinaigrette dressing.
Our server was friendly and efficient. There is a lot of outdoor seating too. The parking is behind the building and is free. They have a good menu with options for a salad, Panini’s, or regular Italian dishes.
With your Unilocal checkin you get a free tiramisu. It was not super coffee tasting but was refreshing and light with the whip cream topping. This is a cute local place. I heard other reviewers mention it was loud and warm. On the day we were there, we didn’t have any of those issues.

I walked from the Hampton Inn where the manager told me I should eat here after asking where I should go that I shouldn’t miss as I was only in town 1 night.
I sat on the patio at a deuce by the door. It was 5:4pm on a Tuesday night. the breeze was wonderful (they have ceiling fans not on or needed) I was wearing shorts and a casual shirt with flip flops, no problem.
Travis was my server for the meal. Wireless is weak but secure with an offered password. The warm bread was immediately offered with a plate of oil, light spice and too much balsamic. The bread isn’t covered so it gets cold quick.
I ordered a caprese salad. It was quite large but nicely done. It had a decent amount of almost ripe tomatoes and fresh greens with pieces of mozzarella as large as the plum tomatoes and I washed it down with an ice cold Stella with a frosty glass while Frank Sinatra and 50’s music played in the background for my ears and kids on skateboards frolicked in the park across the street for my eyes.
The Entrée arrived with great timing and looked wonderful. I ordered the special of the day which was mahi mahi, with angel air, rock shrimp, sun-​dried tomatoes and capers. The fish was a about a 5oz portion. It had good flavor and was not at all fishy. The pasta was cooked correctly. The sundried tomatoes, capers and limited broth were meh, it actually tasted a bit removed, like each component was cooked individually then presented. The shrimp were a joke. They were not cleaned, still in the shell, and they smelled like «fish». There were only 4 of them. I did make an attempt to clean then with my fingers and try them with the dish but I decided against it after trying a bite of one.
For dessert I tried the cannoli which is made in house like the tiramisu (I don’t care for coffee so it was out). It is a large chocolate chip cannoli with a great delicate crust and the right amount of filling to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Overall, even though the entrée was a disappointment, I would still recommend this restaurant based on two things. First, the staff, who were very friendly, even the young chap who bussed, seemed genuinely concerned with my needs and of course, the service with Travis was genuine, caring and professional, behavior quite welcome in this day and age! Oh, and they are dog friendly on the patio!
The second reason is actually the food. Little things like; too much balsamic, covering the bread when you bring it out and cleaning and peeling the shrimp can be easily fixed.
So if you happen to find yourself in the mood for Italian while visiting this area check this place out.

Located just off of Flagler Ave I’ve been several times and I’ve never had a bad meal here I actually think they offer some of the best spaghetti and meatballs in the area. It can get a little crowded and noisy at times but the service has always been good and the owner is very outgoing and always welcomes everyone with a big smile.
If you have the opportunity to grab a table outside do it, it’s a great place to enjoy a nice glass of wine, people watch and just chill.

I think the food is great-​made to order! Different options to meet every Italian food craving! I scored it low because I wish there was more traditional music. The service was great, too, the bathrooms not so much. And I wish there were more outdoor seating for larger parties.
Ive had the pizza-​yummy! Vodka sauce is good, the Italian wedding soup was wonderful! The bread they make outta their pizza dough and bring dipping oil– SO GOOD. Tiramisu is my favorite dessert, however, this tiramisu was not in my top favorites-​the lady finger to marscapone ratio is off and the flavor was not the best-​good but not the best. Still an all around good establishment!
