That's Amore! Italian Cafe

We two had dinner. Highlights are the view and the ambiance. Neighborhood restaurant worth dining at if you live nearby.SERVICE: 3.5. Attentive and friendly. 20% service charge included in bill.FOOD: 3.0. - Grilled Pear Salad: 3.0. We split a salad. OK.- Fungo Davi (appetizer plate): 3.5. Mushrooms were good with bread (ordered separately). Bread comes toasted, and should be eaten before it cools down.- Linguine: 2.5. Shrimp was rather salty for us.- Bucatini Carbonara: 3.0.- Dessert - Chocolate Decadence: 2.0. Way too sweet for our tastes. Really sweet.- Dessert - Cannoli: 3.0. AMBIANCE: 4.0. We dined indoors as it was a grey evening. Tables nicely-spaced and comfortable. Simple, inviting interior. Excellent view over Seattle from the windows on rear wall. Our table was in second row away from wall and well-positioned to take advantage of view. There are 2 tables and half of another that are right next to the windows; one is next to the 2 bathrooms but the positives of the view will probably trump the negative of the bathroom traffic for most folks.

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.

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 game 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!

I was craving Italian food and came across That's Amore. I had no reservations and showed up. Luckily there were open seats at the bar (total of 4 spots) - in the future the staff highly recommended reservations.I ordered a few things and I wish the portions were bigger because it was delicious! If you order a starter, main, and desert then you'll be fine but anything less may still leave you wanting a snack or something.Bread and butter: the bread is warm and the crust is crunchy. It's topped with rosemary, salt, and pepper and was my favorite part of the dish. Butters seemed to be on rotation but there three I had were truffle, roasted tomato, and honey pear with brie. Bucatini carbonara with chicken (additional charge): the dish was creamy and super delicious. Loved everything. I added chicken to the dish and that was also juicy. My pasta had some carry over from a different dish as there were some pieces of onion and mushroom.Tiramisu: I didn't realize how large the slice of tiramisu was. It was delicious however some sections of the lady fingers weren't sufficiently soaked so it was a little dry.Overall, staff was pretty friendly and food was delicious! Will definitely be back in the future for special occasions given the price.

I haven't even gotten home yet and already am writing this review bc it was so amazing! I've lived in Seattle all my life & somehow never knew of this hidden gem! Amazing service, you can tell they actually really care about their customers and the customer experience which I appreciate. The food was to die for! I got the special-crab Pappardelle and it was soooooo good. TONS of crab!! We also got three appetizers, a pizza & another pasta and the tiramisu that was DELISH and so moist! I will definitely come back and tell all my friends/family to as well! I also think it was very reasonably priced. We came on a Monday night at 6 PM no reservations and were able to walk in!

After a long week of work my husband and I were craving Tiramisu. In Federal Way you are very limited on finding Tiramisu let alone finding authentic Tiramisu. Found this cafe via Yelp and placed an online order so I could pick it up on my way home.The online order asks if you want to pick it up inside or car side. They even ask you for the color of your car and make. (*Note* there is no where in front of the cafe for them to bring you your food car side at least nothing marked)Instead of assuming someone would see my bright blue car from the curb that was indirectly in front of the cafe I walked up to the hostess.The portion we received might just look small because it was in a takeout container and unlike all the other photos I've seen of the Tiramisu from this cafe, it has no frills like the dine in photos. (I'm kicking myself for not taking a photo) It's not as tall or wide either. The lady fingers still were not soaked even though previous reviews/comments had suggested the cake was dry. I don't want to be negative so the place could be deserving of five stars, but I will need to try the rest of the menu and possibly dine in to get the best experience. I'm disappointed I had to pay $16 (rounded up after tax, service fee and tip) for a small slice of fry layered cake, but for the authenticity I will leave a four. The flavor was on point. Just please start soaking those lady fingers.

Love it! Great ambience , we had a large group and service was amazing! Totally recommend

This was where we ate on my very first date with my husband! I have very fond memories of the view and the food. It's a quaint spot with Seattle charm. We have been married now for 12 years. Cheers to that's Amore !

I went here for Valentine's Day with my husband. I made a very last minute reservation and love Italian food, this was all I could find. It is a very date-like vibe, small tables and an intimate setting. They have some nice views if you get a table by the window too!I was a bit disappointed with the food given the ratings online. I got a seafood special and it was so bland and tasteless. I ended up not even finishing my meal. My server recommended a dessert wine which I enjoyed. I will say the service was great but I amskeptical to come back because of the food.

I had this whole page written out for this review, but decided to get to my point instead of posting my one pager. Food is good, service is terrible if you're a minority. It's super old money white feeling.
