It has been so long since I have been able to catch up with my girlfriends. Since we are all busy with our own studies or with work, finding time and being able to reconnect with close friends is so very dear to me! We decided to settle for something central and for a restaurant none of us have been to. A friend suggested Cafe Amore for good quality Italian food. Yum! I am always up for pasta - with this event occurring right after finals, pasta is my number one go to comfort food. As we walked in, the restaurant was small but super cozy expected since it is more of a cafe style. With nice atmosphere, I can only imagine what this place would be like buzzing with conversations and excitement. Our waitress was super kind and helpful, recommending us different dishes as well as reminding us of the special pasta of the day.
I thought the centerpiece was a really cool design! Even though it looks messy, the wax flowing from the candle makes a nice touch.
The special of the day was a clam type pasta for $14, unfortunately for me I dislike seafood. But for those who like seafood this place offers a wide variety of seafood infused pasta! I settled for the specialty chicken, cream, marsala. mushroom and habenero pasta. When our pastas came out, I was shocked and knew immediately I would need a take out box at the end because the portions were huge! There was quite a bit of penne pasta though, and the other ingredients such as the chicken and mushrooms were hidden. The pasta was cooked al dente! The cream sauce was amazing with the mushrooms and habenero adding a hint of spice to it.
Overall, this is a great Italian food spot to satisfy all your pasta needs. The pasta is well done, portions are great, quality of the food is amazing and the atmosphere of the place is very relaxed yet welcoming. This place is a little hidden, near grant mac university and the parking is limited on a busy night. But it is well worth the drive here!
