    The food was decent for the price. But what ruined our experience was the waiter. He was extremely rude. We would be in the middle of our order and he would walk way. We tried to call him back to let him know we were not done with our order and he would ignore us. The restaurant was not busy at all. Literally there were only 4 tables and one left about 20 minutes into our dining experience. He talk to us very condescendingly. Over all I doubt I would ever go back and will not be recommending this place to anyone.

    The food and service were good. Celery salad refreshing We'll definitely come back again when it is not a holiday. Celery and octopus' salad, spinach and ricotta cheese raviolo were delicious. Enjoyed a good Barolo with dinner.

    Dining at Amore was a treat. I think my Chilean Sea Bass was the best I have eaten in Houston. My fried artichoke was excellent as usual although the stem was inedible because this is not the best season for artichokes. My wifes regala seafood dish was also very good. The prices are reasonable for white table cloth dining and service was attentive but not intrusive. My only minor complaint was that the music was a bit too loud. I'm not sure why restaurants feel the need for loud music that drowns out conversation. Also, why does an Italian or French or Japanese restaurant see the need to play American pop music. I never returned to one restaurant which served good food because their music was rock played at an ear splitting volume. I will not ever return to one of the new one star Michelin restaurants because they refused to lower the volume of their pop music which was culturally at odds with their cuisine.

    This is consistently the best Italian restaurant in Houston. Superbly cooked fish and pasta. Excellent wine. Great dessert.
