Amoré Ristorante Italiano has operated as a family-owned restaurant in Birmingham's Eagle Point area since 2005, run by host and executive chef Dino Drakos. The kitchen works across Italian tradition in meat, seafood, and pasta: veal scaloppini, lobster fra diavolo, and crab cakes sit alongside prime steaks, veal chops, pork chops, and Italian sausage, plus seafood like gulf black grouper, colossal lump crab meat, and New Bedford scallops. Pasta options include penne carbonara, penne alla vodka, lasagna, and baked ziti, with house-made ravioli filled with crab, lobster, cheese, Bolognese, or sausage.
Beyond the dining room, the restaurant maintains a wine list, hosts wine dinners, and runs a catering operation.
Regulars point to the service and generous portions, along with the sauces and bread, as reasons they keep coming back, and the restaurant has built a reputation as a spot locals reach for when marking a special occasion.
