My wife have always searched for good, individually owned restaurants throughout Southern California. Often we are disappointed, but occasionally we find a very good, or even great place that we return to often. We discovered Amori almost three years ago, and have returned several times. Each time we have agreed that Amori is better than anywhere else we have gone. We returned last Saturday to this small, romantic place and were treated with the same personal hospitality as before. The chef and owner, Pedro Simental is truly a master. Every dish that he creates is outstanding.\r

Amori is a very romantic, small restaurant that is tastefully decorated. The service is always attentive, yet unpretentious. Amori is definitely not like some of the chain restaurants where the meals are overpriced and the service is phony. Rather, Amori is a unique treasure of a place where food is treated with passion by a great chef. Everything about Amori is romantic. \r

We have tried restaurants all over the Southern California area, including virtually every one on the Citysearch list within ten miles of Pasadena. Amori is our favorite. Pedro Simental is a master chef who creates wonderful, romantic food. Amori is marvelous!
Pros: Food, Service and Ambience
Cons: none.
