This place is a vibe. We went there in a group of 12. They were kind enough to accommodate our same day reservation. Service was fast and our waiter was patient, polite and answered all our questions. Food, dessert and wine were great. We ordered a margherita pizza for the table. I got a lumache con pesto pasta. We ordered three desserts for the table - tiramisu, panna cotta, and torta mascarpone. Everything was great but tiramisu was exceptional. We had a good time. There is street parking around which can be tricky to find depending on the time of the day.

We were a group of 12 and the restaurant was very accommodating! The atmosphere is nice and cozy. The Ricotta al Tartufo with truffled chestnut honey was perfection but the bread that came along with left me desiring for more. The Ravioli di Zucca was on the sweeter side for me but balanced well with hazelnuts. The Lumache con Pesto was flavorful with fresh pesto but I wished it had more burrata. After the main course, we got some desserts. The panna cotta was one of the best I’ve had! Just the right about of sweet and great texture! The tiramisu was alright, slightly on the sweeter side. The flourless torta was slightly too dense but tasted great with dark chocolate coming through. Paired with some nuts and it was an indulgent treat! Lastly, our server was great with taking our orders, answering questions, and giving suggestions. Overall a great place and worth visiting!

Amaro Bistro offers a cozy Italian dining experience, though my recent visit left me with mixed feelings. Opting for a classic pairing, I ordered a glass of wine to accompany my steak. While the ambiance was charming, I found the steak lacking in flavor--it could have benefited from a finishing salt or another seasoning to elevate its taste. The calamari was a surprise; I expected traditional fried calamari but received it in a spicy marinara sauce. While the flavors were enjoyable, I missed the satisfying crunch of the classic preparation. Overall, Amaro Bistro is a decent spot, but tonight's experience fell short of my expectations. Perhaps it was just an off night, and I'm willing to give it another chance in the future. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Yet an other pseudo Italian restaurant that serves American perception of what Italian food is like. This one tries a bit but fails to deliver. The fact that they try shows up in the atmosphere and vibe which is quite energetic. Most of the staff is professional even though some of the waiters can be a bit over the top. The wine selection is not bad but the markup is inconsistent so be careful at what you order.

Based just on the food we would not come back. Ambiance was refined and romantic, service was nice but not engaged or attentive and the food was very subpar. We came here for our 9th anniversary to have dinner and it was a big disappointment. My husband ordered off the Seattle Restaurant week menu and I had a pasta. The carbonara pasta was quite mediocre and was not rich in flavor as it must have lacked quality eggs/cheese as the base of the pasta was more of white sauce. Steak sauce was a cherry sweet and vinegary which was all over the meat and did not work. The spinach was probably the best part. Caesar salad was average and the torte was quite good. Our server asked how the food was and I said my meal was so so and she looked at me and it was silent for 15 seconds until she turned to my husband for his response and then left us with our meals. No other attempts were made to see how we were doing. It was awkward to sit with food we weren’t eating so we paid the bill and left (20% auto-gratuity). We just moved into the area and are sad this was such a let down. We would not come back after such an experience.
