I tried Cafe L’Amore for the first time today based on a recommendation. Wow! The pizza is absolutely delicious, made to order from scratch with fresh ingredients. The crust was done perfectly! I truly enjoyed my experience, the staff was very kind, Mark was a pleasure to speak to. I can’t wait to go back!

Don’t normally leave reviews but this place is AMAZING. Our family and I’s go to place and my family is beyond picky. Not too salty, not under or overcooked, just perfect. So good you want to gatekeep 😅 Octopus, NY strip (cooked perfectly ALWAYS), calamari and pollo l’amore is a must. Also BYOB which is great. Staff is super friendly as well :)

A Taste of Italy You’ll Want to Return to Again and Again! This Italian restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and genuinely friendly service that makes you feel right at home. The menu offers a perfect balance of classic Italian comfort food and fresh seafood specialties — everything I’ve tried has been exceptional. The pizza comes straight out of the oven with that perfect thin, crispy crust and just the right amount of cheese. The pasta dishes are rich, flavorful, and clearly made with love and care. But the true standout for me is the seafood salad — fresh, light, and full of flavor. It’s easily one of the best I’ve had anywhere. And don’t even think about skipping dessert! Every sweet treat is beautifully presented and absolutely

★★★★★ 5.0 Amanda Shababb · Dec 2025

I have been here countless times. The food is always great (and their portions are huge), and the staff is warm and welcoming… especially the owners they’re very friendly and kind. It has a homey and authentic atmosphere. Love this restaurant. It’s become a staple for my family and I.

I've been here a few times now and each time the food and service has been terrific so its time to leave a review. The owner is very friendly as well and that doesn't hurt. Today we had the big pita bread and the gnocchi bolognese that many have said to get and they are right. Its super! The prosciutto sandwich was very good and the tiramisu acceptable. But the gnocchi...get it. You're welcome. BYOB to boot. If you're in the area come here. Hidden gem in a strip mall.
