Amore

Amore is a small Italian place on Huntly street. It is a good place to go even though I do not visit that often.
The food is good, even though the sauces are a bit oily for my taste. And in a way I do not understand the oil bath that the Mediterranean restaurants (in UK) have to offer to your food. Is that a marketing promotion? Something like that we (from these countries) have plenty of olive oil that you can take a bath as well as eat? anyway…
It is a bit pricey for me, but you can make it a good night out with food, and some good wines.
The ambience is a bit dark and maybe that is why I do not go there so often. I really like to know what to eat.
What I really like is the owner that he is really friendly. Once we did not have 5£ and their card machine did not work, so he said that it is ok to leave and whenever we were coming back to give him the money then. Eventually we did find 5£ in change (20p and 50p’s) but only the fact that he trusted us to come back and give him the money (even if it was only a fiver) makes me want to go back again!

This is the place to book for a delicious meal where the tortelloni pasta is rolled thinly, the pasta bases are proper italiano, the sauces are tasty and the meat specialities like veal, beef and ‘pollo’ are always tender. Ask for the soup of the day for an unusual but spot on combination. try and avoid the complimentary bread and olives if you don’t want to be too full before the main meal arrives! These are not small dieters portions, so ask for a small helping if you’re worried about that kind of thing. There are no pretences or frills, this is trattoria styling with full blown flavours of Italy. The warm welcome you get from the owners is unequalled in any other Aberdeen restaurant of this ilk. Minimal improvements could be made to the baby changing /​toilet facilities and maybe by stocking some prosecco this restaurant would be 100% splendid. But the food could not get any better. Try, try and try again
