That's Amore - Seattle

My husband and I went here on our anniversary weekend trip. We were going to a show in the neighborhood, and decided to stop in for dinner. By far, the BEST Italian food I have ever had!! We ordered the bread and butter 🤤 so delicious!! We had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The chicken was so incredibly juicy and the sauce was flavorful without being bland. The owner was incredibly friendly. He was personable and interactive, and let’s not forget fashionable 😅 we were blown away by his hospitality. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Nice neighborhood Italian restaurant with excellent service, a great menu and fun Italian cocktails. I loved my Spritz with Lambrusco and grapefruit. Had a hard time choosing between pasta, pizza or entree but was happy with my choice to order chicken marsala. Loved that it was served with veggies.

We had a 9pm Valentine’s seating at That’s Amore! We were served by the incredible Gabriella that guided us through the menu and made sure our glasses were filled, our silverware fresh, and our table clean! Bonus: We were given the table my partner requested with a beautiful nighttime view of the city. We started with the risotto cakes which were fried to PERFECTION! I wish I had remembered to add crispy pancetta on top, but will definitely returning and will do so next time! We split the rolls that came with olive butter, a lemon/horseradish butter, and lobster butter. Loved how they incorporated the specialty butters into the courses, it was a glimpse of what was to come! The olive butter is worth its hype- such a unique blend of flavors. We split the carbonara, tuscan pork and tenderloin of beef special. THE TENDERLOIN OF BEEF WAS TO DIE FOR!!!! I am so bummed it’s a special because anyone who does not try it is really missing out. The beef was cooked to perfection and dressed in a creamy lobster butter. Each bite was topped with lobster meat and accompanied by a gorgeous truffle mashed potato. I found myself dipping my bread in the butter at the end of the meal because I could not get enough. With all of the red meat we ordered, the carbonara offered a balance. Additionally, the bathrooms were clean, the food came out at a perfect pace, and we found the staff to be attentive. It was the perfect place to celebrate Valentine’s!

We had an amazing experience there. The atmosphere and the service was fantastic. The only thing I wish they did is make their pasta fresh. It would make the dishes great to outstanding.

My fiancé and I stopped in here this past weekend for a glass of wine and were very warmly welcomed by our server who brought us some great Sangiovese and informed us that the menu is made-to-order so they could easily accommodate a vegan request. We had dinner plans elsewhere but ordered some bruschetta with our wine and it was delicious! So fresh! We will definitely be back to try more of the menu and to gladly give this lovely little restaurant our business again. Thanks for the great service! PS- the outdoor seating in front is great, but the view from windows at the back of the restaurant is amazing too! Can’t go wrong!

I've gone here several times this year alone and will definitely be going back. I highly recommend this small quaint place. They have some of the best Italian food I've had. It's all fresh homemade (they have no freezer) with new daily specials that are always different with a tiramisu to die for! I recently visited them for my birthday and had a great experience. My server was amazing as she helped me pick out a glass a wine allowing me to taste a few selections, she replaced an ingredient in my dish with no hassle after I told her I wasn't a fan (we had a good laugh about it) and to top the whole night off she sent me home with an additional piece of tiramisu which she took off our bill in honor of my birthday🎂 **The only down side of the whole night was my boyfriend's seafood was overcooked**

What do I really need to say about this place? Amazing food, super friendly staff, and an absolutely unbelievable view. Me and my friends celebrated my bachelorette party here, and I can't think of a better place. Do yourself a favor when you eat here, get dessert. Life is short, and oh man it's worth it! ❤

Came to see my son at the Naval base of kitsap walked around Seattle downtown and could not get a reservation which intern we saw this place outside of town which was fabulous highly recommended from other reviews. First of all great views of the skyline of Seattle from this restaurant. The gentleman that sat us which I believe is the manager was very Accommodating , and just a good dude. We had the bruschetta and the risotto cakes for appetizers which were yummy. I had a special with Dungeness crab pasta which was really good and fresh everybody enjoyed their dinner plates and more importantly Gabi our waitress is a class act and outside the food would be the reason why I would want to go back and venture out to this joyful restaurant for her welcomeness. Wish we could see her smile without these masks 😷. Bon appétit and enjoy.

Great service here! Food was exquisite and the risotto cakes with crispy prosciutto was our favorite dish. I recommend you get a reservation to make sure you get a seat.

The food is fantastic and the service was wonderful. Everything is homemade. We had the pizza and the spicy sausage was some of the best we’ve had. The view is amazing. We will definitely be back.

Quaint spot with excellent Italian food. Great view of the Seattle skyline from the back of the restaurant. Make a reservation, they are very accommodating.

This restaurant is spectacular! My visit was the perfect example of when superior service and exceptional food comes together to create a one of a kind experience! If you want an authentic italian restaurant experience, this is the place for you! I am ecstatic about my dining experience! Enjoy!

We have been coming to That's Amore for many years and have nothing but incredible things to say about the people and the food. Tonight I wandered up for dinner on my own and they just happened to have a special that I've not had before; chicken and mushroom risotto. I've always truly enjoyed the food, but this was probably one of THE best dishes that I've had here. Now under new ownership, Guy Devillier and David Hoefer along with executive chef Richard Holdridge have started offering some truly incredible dishes and tonight was no exception. Do yourself a favor and head over to enjoy an awesome dinner experience all while taking in the breathtaking views.

Everything about That’s Amore is amazing! The view they have of the Seattle skyline is gorgeous. The staff is amazing, everyone was so kind and attentive. Most importantly the food is “chef’s kiss” delicious! I had the bread and caesar salad for an appetizer. Lasagna pictured below for my entree. And for dessert, tiramisu. Every single thing was amazing. They make all their food from scratch and you can taste the difference that makes. I highly recommend coming here!

All I can say is WOW! This place was a perfect choice for my company's leadership appreciation dinner! We had a great time! The service was top notch, the good and drinks were delicious and the desserts.....🤤🤤🤤 Thank you all so much!

Great neighborhood spot. If I lived nearby, I'd be here regularly. Pasta with crab was amazing, as was the focaccia and cannoli. I will be back soon!

Love this neighborhood gem- they have the best tiramisu I’ve ever had, and their specials are so tasty and unique. Only advice I’d give to them is to serve their wine in wine glasses instead of water glasses :)

Immaculate. Went alone on a whim and food near by tag on Google and was blown away. View is great, staff so great and friendly. Went on and got both specials for appetizers, loved both. Also got dessert and another drink because I loved it so much. Also the music was on point ✨

We went for the first time last night. The entire staff was so sweet and service could not have been better. When they heard it was our anniversary, they went all out! The food was delicious and we highly recommend.

The food was delicious! I especially love their small plates. The view of the Seattle sky line is magnificent and the ambiance is flawless. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

What a beautiful little local spot! It was our first time in (new to the neighborhood). Staff were exceptionally welcoming and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. Food is fresh, made with love and a great deal of care, and we will definitely be back!

This is the perfect place to come with someone you love. From the appetizer to the dessert, and between vegetarian and non-veg dishes, everything exceeded our expectations. We tried the Valentine's day menu (pear ravioli, crab pasta) and normal menu (vegetarian pizza, tiramisu). We also ordered two drinks, which wasn't the star of the night, but it set a good atmosphere. I also loved the decor and ambience of the place. But I'm a foodie, so I live and breathe for the food - which The Amore absolutely delivered. If you want to make your loved ones happy, bring them here.

We celebrated our anniversary at That’s Amore Italian Café and had a wonderful experience. The staff made us feel special from the moment we walked in, wishing us a happy anniversary several times. We got a great table with a beautiful view, they even surprised us with a complimentary dessert, and every dish was delicious. My husband loved his chicken Parmesan and my pork belly was incredible. Highly recommend!

We’ve been meaning to try this place since we moved to the area. It was awesome. The staff, cocktails, food, & vibe. All amazing. They also have some dinner options for kids and can’t wait to come back with them. Such a gem in our neighborhood.

I have been there again today and wanted to update the name of Jenna who is very good at vegetarian recommendations. The chefs special butternut squash ravioli was so delicious today. One of my favorite spots ever. I appreciate how they customize dishes to fit dietary restrictions. Jenna is vegetarian herself and suggests beautiful additions to dishes. I especially like penne special and linguine in pasta. Bruschetta and Caprese are my all time favorites here. Balsamic Vinegar adds to their taste. Sometimes they have vegetarian chef specials as well. I really like to emphasize how you will feel the taste of pastas without cheese overload here. It feels so fresh and filling. I have been there over 7 times till now.

Great place, great service. Our waiter was very nice on a busy day like Feb 14th. Food though, I don't know seemed a bit overpriced. I got the Penne Specialli, the pasta was aldenete, but it was so watery like a lot. The flavor was not rich and deep, my partner got the Tortellini, which was better but for the portion sizes, the food is definitely overpriced. The tiramisu though, was phenomenal. Very creamy and soft , even the lady fingers were soaked well. Would recommend if you're there for the cute and cozy vibes but not for the food.

That’s Amore is a very good Italian Restaurant. The view of Seattle from the restaurant is incredible. This is a great place to visit for a date or special. We ordered the bread and butter (doesn’t come with the meal) and Amore salad for appetizers, and linguini and Chicken Parmesan for entrees. The bread and butter was exceptional, it came with 3 unique butters that were infused with herbs and vegetables. The salad was very good, and had a great balance of flavors. We enjoyed the entrees, but the entrees had a few minor issues. The linguini was covered in a lemon sauce. The lemon was a little overpowering in the sauce, that it took away from the other ingredients in the dish. I added black pepper to the dish which neutralized the flavor and balanced the dish. The Chicken Parmesan was slightly overcooked, but the entree had good flavor. Aside from the few missteps in our entrees, the meal was amazing, and the ambience at this restaurant is unmatched. I would definitely visit again.

Thats Amore is an Italian restaurant nestled in the neighborhood close to Leschi and Central District. Street parking here can be tough at times. There is about a dozen tables inside and a couple outside, so it's pretty intimate. Their staff is friendly and always walking around to help. Their menu is a good size, with some daily specials that usually aren't on there. The portions are smaller, typical to most Italian style restaurant trying to impress. The cost per portion is just too high for me. Taste wise it's hit or miss, the caesar salad was too lightly dressed and off, but the salumi plate was good. Brushetta was missing a few things taste-wise and the pasta sauces were missing salt but have a nutty flavor (sort of nutmeg), which stands out. Overall I'd say the experience is nice but the food just misses the mark for me. A few tweaks here and there would put them to 4, maybe 5 stars for food.

Great little place I ran into when I was droning. Unexpected, perfect seat for one. Good drinks. The only small critic was my

We enjoyed our time together. We were grateful we got accepted without a reservation. After a long flight from NC the day before we explored Tacoma and landed here.. Food was about a 4.3. I had a type of crab pasta crab tortellini, I believe. It was very strong in smell. Haven’t had that before in a crab dish. I would probably order something else next time. I wasn’t crazy about it especially for the price, but I’m not one to complain. Overall it has a wonderful view and a very relaxing, dim lit, ambience. Do be prepared to be pay 20% gratuity. I thought this was different but understood in today’s industry…

We stopped going here years ago during the second owner era. Well the current owner has restored its greatness. Still great view of Seattle. Nice menu selections and wines.

Family style place. The chicken Parm was a little too spicy for me. The pork belly was excellent! Service very friendly. It’s busy! MKe a reservation!

Great food and experience! Only have to knock the restaurant for 20% auto-gratuity for party of 2. I was probably going to tip that much anyways but it leaves the customer with bad taste in their mouth when it’s not their choice.

Arrived just after opening and was asked if I had a reservation. I said, 'no,' not realizing my friend had made one and was shown to a 4-top by the window and told we would have to finish by 7 PM to accommodate a reservation, which would have been a non-issue except the place was empty. I felt awkward and uncomfortable. Food was fine. Three more parties arrived while we dined and when we left, most of the tables were still unfilled.

Opening with a statement: I think we missed the heyday of this place, or we came on an off night. I've been wanting to try this place since we discovered it several months ago, with the wild boar ragu being quite appealing on their menu, so made a 5 PM Sunday evening reservation for our 10th wedding anniversary. Temperature check and vax card check was appreciated. Cute place, with a nice view of the downtown Seattle skyline. Noise level towards the end of our meal got to a point where conversation with my wife was frequently punctuated with "WHAT"; not a good date night destination. I've never been to an Italian restaurant that didn't provide bread, thought that was quite odd, given the number of positive reviews regarding the bread. Seattle food waste/compost laws? Rundown of the dishes: Salumi plate: Interesting mix, but not much of a theme beyond "Italian things on a plate". Waitress didn't provide a rundown of what we were offered, but was a fine journey by ourselves. Steak florentine: The wild boar ragu listed on the menu is what pulled me in, however the steak florentine listed on the specials sheet seemed appealing. The steak was everything you don't want a steak to be: thin, tough, and gray inside and out despite asking for medium rare. Steak had very little color on the outside, yet was cooked through, that's just how thin it was. Chicken marsala: Surprisingly good, relative to my steak. Great flavor with the sauce and just enough savory flavor from the mushrooms without being boring. Portion size was correct. Limoncello cheesecake: a light and delicately-flavored cheesecake ruined by the harshness of the strawberry/rhubarb compote. I'd get that compote on the side and just put the smallest dabs, if any at all, on every bite. Tiramisu: Hands down, the best tiramisu I've had in Seattle yet. The issues with a lot of tiramisu is that they're just too "wet", this one was fantastically moist without being too wet. We'll probably give it another try in the future, stick with their regular menu, and will update this review accordingly. Hopefully we can try the bread.

Overrated for the price. Service was subpar and atmosphere was mixed. - The food was pretty good, but certainly not good enough to justify the high prices. You can get better for less at Mioposto. Keep in mind there is a compulsory 20% service tip added to the bill outright. - Service was just ok. The staff were nice of course, just awkward at times. Our server seemed intent on rushing from the table before asking relevant questions, and didn’t take ownership of a very long delay in our food. One dish literally came out over 20 mins before the others with nothing more than “sorry”, making for an awkward meal. They were, however, attentive with water carafes for the table, which can be rare sometimes. - The atmosphere was generally quiet. The bathrooms, though, were the most awkward. A curtain separates them from people eating their meals, and they were quite dirty. Overall this place felt like a small family restaurant trying to be upscale but not quite hitting the mark. I’d recommend going elsewhere if celebrating a special occasion.

Small and cozy restaurant with a dated decor on a street next to residential areas. The food was hit or miss with a disappointing bruschetta. My fettuccine alfredo with shrimp was good but my partner’s spaghetti bolognese was disappointing. My tiramisu was excellent but the cannoli was disappointing. Service is efficient but not friendly.

What could have been an excellent restaurant experience was diminished due to the service or lack there of by our server for the night. It started when asking about a drink from the menu, when I mentioned I didn't want the jalapeño she said why not, it's good. So that put me off. I don't want it because I just don't. I shouldn't have to explain why. I'm the one paying for it so I should get what my preference is not hers. We then ordered a few different starters. We ordered the bread with butter, the bruschetta, the cheese bread and the arugula salad. Of those all were very good (aside from the salad which in my opinion had too much dressing.) If that wasn't enough food we also got two entrees. The chicken Marsala wasn't anything to write home about. The Penne Special was the same. Nothing spectacular. The cannoli's on the other hand were amazing! The atmosphere and restaurant are nice. It was just the terrible service from the waitress that ruined it. She kept grabbing things without even asking if we were done. And then when I asked for boxes to put my leftovers in she insisted on doing it herself to only throw away part of my bread with butter THAT WE PAID FOR. I honestly don't think I'd ever come back to dine in at this restaurant. If you order just get it to go.

Seattle pizza isn't something to write home about, but the pizza from here is... for all the wrong reasons. I ordered a Margherita pie for 21 dollars, or so I thought. When I showed up to pick up the pie a 20% service charge which I was told was "a tip for the kitchen". Okay, if that's default it should just be part of the price. If it's a "tip" then it shouldn't be taxed, but sure enough it is bringing the total for a single Margherita pizza to $27.78... This would be fine if it served 2-4 people, but this is a personal pie. To add insult to injury, this was _not_ a margherita pie, rather a cheese pizza. Whatever, though, if the pizza is good it'll make up for it. Sadly, it isn't. The flavor is okay, but the texture is all wrong. The dough is basically bread, and lacks gluten development. I'd rate this 4 star if it was $15 (total), but the price tag is truly unbelievable.

Unprofessional staff, cmon your not at the beach dress nicely. Food was good but have had much better Italian in Seattle for cheaper.
