I love Italian food that is why I went and found me an Italian husband! I was excited to try That's Amore after reading the reviews, but I made the mistake of going with my husband. Being that he is Italian/Sicilian and considers himself an amateur chef he is critical of any restaurant we eat at. We started with the Deep Fried Eggplant which we both throughly enjoyed, even though we didn't get a shaker of Parmesan until we were almost through with the appetizer. The waitress then brought us garlic bread and salad. I was not impressed with either, the bread was dry and the salad needed fresher vegetables. The waitress seemed really frazzled and did not take our food order until she brought us the salad, which is also when my husband asked for salt and pepper a second time. I ordered the Beef Spodini and my husband ordered the Linguine with Blackened Chicken. I have never had Spodini before, but I thought it was really good, except for the Spaghetti served with the Spodini needed more sauce. My husband asked for extra sauce for his linguine and was not happy that it took 15 minutes to get more sauce. He was not impressed with his linguine at all, however he did say the Blackened Chicken had a good flavor. All in all we were not impressed, but we will give That's Amore another chance. We will just keep in mind to order extra sauce right away.
