AMARI Italian Kitchen & Wine Shop

Amazing Experience!Had the most fresh and flavorful dinner here! We enjoyed clams, Caesar salad, and Margherita pizza, all absolutely delicious. The live bread was a unique touch, and the service was fantastic--our waitress was super friendly and dog-friendly! Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend!

Oh Amari. Besides their whisky sours and the happy hour spritz drink, what else is there? There's a beautiful restaurant with a kitchen view, a grand time, a beautiful bar with a great bartender who provides the best attitude and lets you decide and is quick to remind you that happy hour is almost over so put your orders in for the discounts if you need them! I tried their arancini, and their whiskey spritz on happy hour, then added a whiskey sour with my preferred liquor since I figured I could spoil myself since I was not driving! Anyway, the drunks were top notch, the arancini not bad! The rice was fresh, the sauce was decent, but the only thing was the fresh mozzarella was in the center. I personally would have preferred a melted cheese; but that's just my personal preference! But the size of the arancini and the price for happy hour satisfied my interest and accompanied my drinks amazingly! I'll be back!

Looking for a delicious Italian food spot? Add this to your list because this place is a must try. The ambience, decor, service, and food is all good. The chicken Marsala was delicious and the margarita pizza was one of the best I had. Everything was seasoned well and the portion was perfect. Don't skip on this spot and give it a try!

I stopped by for a quick drink. Had I known this establishment was open, I would have dined here but I already ordered food at another spot. The decor is beautiful and the MOD (at that time) seemed very nice. I went to the bar and ordered a drink and that service was meh. No personality or small talk. Order and leave feeling. I'll return. The pizzas looked good.

Deliciousssssss!!!!!! Honestly I'm not a big fan of Italian food but this restaurant has changed my mind!! The tomato basil focaccia bread with whipped ricotta was so delicious (especially the tomatoes o..m...g). I got a side of Brussels sprouts... also AMAZING. I got a pesto pasta as well which was super yummy. I went for my anniversary and they gave us a cute note and a free dessert :) service was also 10/10. Our waitress was so nice and knowledgeable about the menu. Definitely will be back!

Ambience, location, servers/staff, parking are all amazing. Came here for happy hour and decided to give a few random items on the menu a try. Everything was plated nicely and came out timely. It all had flavor and tasted really great. However, my only complaint would be the Spicy Calabrese Pizza. I was expecting some sort of spicy pepperoni or some kick to it. It had none. In fact it was more of a honey pizza and very much on the sweeter side than anything. A little misleading if you are glancing over the menu, id suggest you ask for the honey on the side, so you can control that aspect to your liking table side. Overall, Ill be back to get the tartar and shrimp scampi again while exploring other items on the menu.

I visited Amari during happy hour, and it was a fantastic experience! We ordered almost everything off the happy hour menu--shrimp scampi, arancini, herb focaccia, salumi & cheese, eggplant pizza--and the tagliatelle from the regular menu. The food was delicious, and everything was served beautifully.We arrived around 4 pm and were seated right away. The waiter was super kind, checked up on us often, and the food came out quickly. I loved the cozy interior, especially the large windows that brought in great lighting. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and the bar area is a nice touch.The standout for me was the eggplant pizza--it was packed with flavor! I will definitely be back to try the meatballs next time, and of course, for another slice of that pizza. We shared everything among the three of us and even had enough to take home.For all the amazing food we ordered, the bill came to $100, which I found very reasonable for the quality and portions. I'll definitely be back!

The food is fantastic here all the staff is on point and great service especially the manager Boston he made sure the our party was taken care of and also our server. The special of the night was killer! Highly recommend this place and such a great ambiance.

I came here for dinner with a couple of coworkers while we were in town for a conference. It's a cute little restaurant located in a relaxing outdoor food center across from the new Durango casino. It is very clean on the inside with a contemporary look. Service is very good and friendly. The menu is small, but their food is delicious. I highly recommend the shrimp scampi pasta dish. The sauce was the smooth and silky. So good.

Amari Italian Kitchen has become one of our go-to spots, and this was our third time dining here--and it keeps getting better! We started with the Tuscan kale salad, which was fresh and perfectly balanced, and the squash blossoms stuffed with creamy ricotta paired with the hot honey Calabria dipping sauce, which added a delightful spicy-sweet kick.For entrées, we had the tagliatelle pasta and the squid ink malfadine, both bursting with rich, vibrant flavors that showcased the quality of the ingredients and the chef's expertise. We paired our meal with the Nervo Pinot, an excellent wine that complemented the dishes beautifully.As always, the drinks were fantastic, and the service was top-notch, with the staff making sure every detail was perfect. Amari continues to impress us with its consistent quality and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!
