Amore Pasta – New Downtown Location NOW OPEN!
From the makers of Cafe Amore Bistro and the Black Pearl Seafood comes the new and improved downtown location of Amore Pasta.
Family recipes passed down from Italy will tantalize your tastebuds on this budget-friendly, build-your-own menu. Yes, there is an Amore Pasta on the south side, but that location is just pasta and pales in comparison to the new downtown location. They are open at 8 am for breakfast – yes, breakfast!
There is a lovely cappuccino bar to serve up some espresso and baked goods in the morning. If you need something heartier, they have some signature omelettes available as well as the build-your-own versions. Choose how many eggs you would like, add your choice of veggies, protein and cheese. You can even choose to have a side of Amore hash (crumbled Italian sausage, cheddar cheese, green onions, mushrooms and peppers). Can’t decide? There are five signature Baked Eggs al Forno and omelettes to choose from.
Franchise? No!
The Crudo Family will have none of that! They would love to have Amore Pasta all over the countryside, but they want to ensure quality over quantity. They have a central “warehouse” location where the sauces etc. are made lovingly called “Papa Giuseppe’s”. They are hoping to have more “in-house” made fresh pastas in the future.
Lunch and dinner will knock your socks off!
You can order a beer or wine to go with your dinner creation. Make sure you try the fried lasagne bites with Papa Joe’s red sauce to start off with, they are very tasty!
This is similar to a Subway concept where you go up and order your food and bring it back to your table to enjoy. Lunch can be quick, delicious and painless.
The “Return of the Mac” shall be triumphant. They have 5 signature choices and the macaroni is made fresh daily. “Pizza Me” is pictured in my slideshow; red onion, mixed peppers, crumbled Italian sausage, cheddar and mozza cheese. This rib-sticking delight will surely satisfy.
Create Your Own Pasta starts out with the pasta and sauce, you add your choice of veggies, your protein and cheese. Again, there are five signature pastas to choose from if you can’t decide or are in a hurry. I couldn’t get enough of the “Sicilian”; made with homemade Strozzapreti, marsala cream sauce, green onions. All of the flavours blend together beautifully. It was a delight to eat.
Where is it?
10235 101 Street, right in the Ice District. There is a surface Impark parking lot located across the street but that can get pretty pricey during a game night. There is also parking available in the tower which is much more reasonable. Open at 8 am for breakfast and closes normally at 9 pm on weekdays. Open at 11 am and close at 9 pm on weekends. They will be adjusting hours to the crowd and are wanting to be open for food and drink after the games.
Gluten Free options available.
Since you are building your own meal, you have the option to pick items that are gluten free. Your food is cooked right in front of you. Ask your server for details.
