Amore Ristorante

With more Italian restaurants per square mile in Jersey than any other type of cuisine, we decided on Amore Ristorante, located off of Rifle Camp Road in Woodland Park, for Saturday night dinner. The reservation was easily made via Yelp. We have discovered this establishment by chance every time en route to one of the entrances on Garrett Mountain. Unfortunately, the exterior doesn't draw one in. However, upon arrival as first-timers, my partner, our friends, and I were greeted by the host and got a table in the corner at this cozy, warm, and welcoming interior with simple decor of pictures of Italy and music playing throughout the two dining areas. The menu offered Southern Italian cuisine and was limited, but we found meals we liked. Miguel was our server and made us feel so welcome; h

Went to this location for a wedding and it was the perfect place for a low-key reception. They have two dining rooms. The food was absolutely delicious with generous portions of everything they brought out. The appetizers alone were enough to fill you up before the main entrées came out. My favorites included the shrimp cocktail; fried calamari, fresh prosciutto and mozzarella cheese, and the steak entrée was perfectly cooked. They also served meatballs and some type of eggplant appetizer that were also good. Great service. Lots of parking in the parking lot. I will come back for dinner in the future and it’s good to note that it’s BYOB during their usual business hours.

We stumbled onto this restaurant. Pure chance and it was delicious. It is BYOB, don't forget the wine. Staff was very accommodating and courteous.

I had the pleasure of having my wedding reception here. The staff was on point and extremely helpful. I could not have asked for a better evening. My guests called all week long to let me know how much they enjoyed the food and how great every thing was. If you are looking for a place to have a small wedding, holiday party or just a great dinner then this is the place for sure! The food and service is excellent! Thank you again for a great time!

We had a 5 year rememberance dinner for my dad this past weekend. JR was very accommodating for all of our 15 family members including 3 children under 6 and our primary server Miguel was very attentive to our needs and asked if any one had any allergies or special requests. We ordered off the menu. Calamari balsamico was an excellent appetizer choice as well as the grilled octopus and the meat & cheese charcuterie board was beautifully prepared. We ordered various chicken, pasta, veal entrees and specials like Bronzino & Osso Buco did not disappoint. Everyone’s meal was brought out together by various servers which was very nice. We brought in a cake for dessert and ordered the speciality ice cream off the menu. It was the perfect pairing with our hot coffees, cappuccinos and espres
