Amore Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen

Let me start by saying you drive up and walk into this lovely Italian style restaurant feeling like you're in Italy. The beautiful Christmas Decorations made my visit even more amazing. The pizza is bake fresh to perfection if I give it a 9.2. The bartender Paulie is friendly great conversation offers great hospitality seems to be loved by many regulars. Daily Special's with a menu with a wide variety of delicious meals. Wished I lived closer Id make this place my new weekly spot.

The Northeast is known for great pizza and Italian food and Amore is an excellent way to experience it. We first found Amore on a trip to the Berkshires in 2024, after flying in from Denver. It was so good we made sure to visit again recently on another trip to CT and MA. If anything the service and food was even better. Amore has become one of the things we really look forward to on our New England visits.

Aug 2025: this time around we went back to Amore during evening. It was super packed. We were able to find a spot outdoors.. it was ideal as it wasn’t that cold outside..

That watermelon salad special was perfect summer salad option.. Nonna’s was perfect balance for 4 people with some salads.. totally recommend this place..

Jun, 2025: this time around I tried eggplant italiano.. wooww sandwich is soo amazing with fresh mozzarella paired with steak cut fries..

May 2025: I have been here couple times here during lunch times. We usually go for shareables.

Amazing food quality. We all totally loved the appetizers or salads. Pizza’s (Nonna’s and All American) are one of must have’s. I wasn’t a huge fan off buffalo chicken pizza.

For lunch, we walk in with a group under 8 but any bigger group we tend to make reservations. I assume for dinner this place could be busy.

What started out as a gas/bathroom stop in Armonk, NY, in 2024, has become our new tradition when driving further north. The first time we stopped, the Shell gas station's bathroom wasn't working. As a personal and an ethical reason to use the bathroom at Amore, I ordered calamari to-go. They gave such a huge portion! The box was full! And they loaded us up with some heaping containers of marinara sauce. The calamari was so crispy crust, tender and chewable rings, that I was about ready to move to Armonk.

Skip to 2025, we stopped at Amore on our way to New Hampshire and on the way back to Virginia. I'm post-op on bariatric surgery and at the regular food phase, with a restriction of 4 ozs). The food is still amazing! So this time up going up to NH, I got the minestrone soup and he got the personal pizza. Coming back to Virginia, we stopped and got the veal parmigiana sandwich and the Mark Anthony salad. Everything they make is absolutely fantastic and the staff is wonderful! This is our new tradition every time we go to NH.

PROS:
Food
Service
Price
Parking

CONS:
Price (Only if you're Bargain McCheapskate)
Location (Sure there are other locations, but Armonk is the best and it's off of the beaten path of I95, but still worth the time-suck)

OVERALL:
The food and service is worth the detour. It's a nice, chill spot for some great Italian food. The flavor is there! They make sure you are filled. I'm rubbing my hands together, waiting to go for another visit.

We celebrated my mother's 90th birthday at Amore's outdoor patio in Armonk and had an amazing experience. Great food, atmosphere and wonderful staff and service. We couldn't be happier with the planning and partnership ahead of the party, along with the actual celebration on the big day.

We celebrate my mom every year at Amore and it is always a special occasion. This time we went all out- to celebrate 90 years of fun-and so did Amore!! Thank you to Ken and team for a wonderful day that we will always remember!
