Amore Italian Restaurant - Hungerford — Restaurant in England

Overall was an ok experience but having spent a lot of time in Italy this is clearly not in any way an authentic Italian restaurant.

The staff were polite and friendly but the male waiter completely forgot to bring olives that I ordered so I had to remind him then he said, “oh yeah”. Wake up!

I asked him what style of pizza they served, Roma? Napoli? He had no idea what I was talking about. I also asked if they had Crodino and again he had absolutely no idea what I was talking about.

The pizza tasted fine but there’s no way they need to charge £15 for one - especially when you get better pizza in Italy for less than half the price. Dough and toppings are not that expensive.

Lastly, I wanted to finish with a coffee but was told that they have no plant milk at all - only semi skimmed cows milk!

In 2025?? Seriously? And what about lactose intolerance? Erm, discrimination? So if you have an allergy you’re not allowed coffee.

Every cafe I’ve been to in all of Italy has had at least oat or soy milk.

If you want genuine Italian food give this place a miss - you may as well go to a chain like Zizzi, ASK, or...

This looked great according to the reviews so we opted for our evening meal here. It was during the recent mini heatwave and the place was very warm, even with a/c. We were sat right at the back by a closed window, but next to a group of 'too loud for a restaurant' group, absolute knobs on full volume. The view was awful, the side car park and lots of satellite dishes on the nearby houses. Food was efficiently and quickly served, but from the off there was an issue with one starter, and although it was rectified and apologised for, the cost wasn't deducted from our bill as I would have expected, plus only the young server apologised. No complaints about the food other than that, and it was delicious and hot. I understand that the restaurant can't dictate who eats there in advance, so the loud group weren't their fault, but if I wanted to eat in a Wetherspoons video venue, I'd eat in a Wetherspoons, maybe we were just unlucky that night? Overall, disappointed, Hungerford is lovely but we won't be rushing...

DISAPPOINTED! For a starter we had garlic bread and it was dry and had hardly any garlic. Seabass was like a piece of cardboard, stiff and dry. Lasagne was drowning in tomatoes and had no pasta. Seafood tagliatelle had empty muscle shells, couldn't cut or chew through the calamari, pasta like rubber and it was cold. 12" pizza with 6" inch topping so genuinely just bread. Got order wrong and brought a different dish that was still wrong when everyone else had already finished, when we complained about it being the wrong dish the manager insisted that is what we ordered when we didn't so he walked off and threw the menu. The complaint was dealt with by the manager sending a waiter to do his job because he stormed off when he got the order wrong. The waiter that came to sort out the complaint was arrogant and rude telling us we was trying to find fault in everything. The only upside was they charged us half price but most of the food was left. Overall...
