About Amore
Amore is an Italian restaurant and pizzeria at 98 High St in Rochester, just off the main street. The dining room is arranged in three different styles, and a garden adds a further space to the property. Pasta is advertised as freshly made, with crab ravioli and butter and sage ravioli among the dishes. Pizzas are sized to share between two, and leftovers can be taken home. A warm bread basket comes with a balsamic and olive oil dip. Reservations are taken by phone. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Pizza is the most frequent draw at Amore, with reviewers calling it fresh, noting the dough, and describing portions big enough for two to share. Close behind are the pastas and starters, including crab ravioli, butter and sage ravioli, calamari, and an antipasti platter, while one diner praised a perfectly cooked veal steak with red wine. Service comes up repeatedly as friendly, welcoming and attentive, and one party said staff handled a booking request about the bill and a vegetarian guest's changes without fuss. The caveats are specific. One reviewer found the Napoli pizza soggy and undercooked on the bottom, and the fries too heavily salted, with a lone waiter rushing through a busy evening and apologising for waits. Another found the sliced steak with rocket salad only okay, and one wanted more pasta sheets in the lasagne. One reviewer who had seen mixed comments about busy evenings had a relaxed late afternoon visit and took leftover pizza home.

“Today I visited this lovely Italian restaurant, and I had a wonderful experience. I ordered a red wine and a veal steak, and both were absolutely delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavour, and the wine was an excellent match. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and professional. Everything from the service to the presentation of the food was excellent. I truly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!”

“This is a nice little restaurant right off the main street in Rochester. The service was very attentive and the food was fresh and delicious. I had an appetizer and a pizza, both of which were delicious. The pizza was easily big enough for two people to share.”

“Nice little restaurant with a nice covered outside area. The service was friendly and came with many apologies regarding wait times as it was busy, the poor waiter seemed to be on his own and was rushing around, his stress created a stressed atmosphered for the evening. The food was okay, I ordered a Napoli pizza which was very disappointing. It was soggy and undercooked on the bottom. The pasta dishes were nicer and the portions were all good sizes. Ordered a side order of fries, these were also good but way too heavily salted. I would visit again to try more dishes but based on my first experience I can only give 3 stars z”

“I’ve seen mixed reviews about what the restaurant is like when it’s busy in the evening but we visited late afternoon and had a lovely, relaxed experience, and delicious food. Crab ravioli was gorgeous and filling; pizza was really fresh. Was able to take leftover pizza home. Great menu selection. Relaxed atmosphere and attentive but relaxed service. We’re local so very likely to return.”

“Absolutely fantastic place !! First time visiting tonight with 6 of us including our baby. They honestly couldn't be more accommodating!! When i booked i asked t not to let anyone eles pay the bill, only me ! As my father inlaw likes to pay normally and it was our treat.... and they made the effort to remember and only give me the bill! We had a fussy vegetarian with us so i asked for a few requests for her, extra garlic etc and they were so accommodating! She rated it a 10 out of 10 ! So Thank you so much, the food was cooked perfectly! Really lovely pizza dough too.!! I had the lasagne which was very nice, think it could do with more pasta sheets but thats me beeing fussy now. Will definitely be returning, have wanted to try this place for so long! and it definitely didnt disappoint!! Staff are so lovely! Sorry for the long review 🤣🤣❤️”
