Amorosa Pasta House - Burnaby

My wife and I went to Amorosa for the first time yesterday. Very pleased with the service and the meal was exceptional. The chef/owner came out to say hello and we chatted for a few minutes. Very nice man. We are looking forward to goIng back and trying something new from the menu.

The food was awesome and so was the service : I have recommended this place to a bunch of my friends

Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere! Will definetly be going again.

Very nice service here together with my niece and sister plus my brother in law

Amorosa has a quaint environment. The decor is not as bright as I would have wanted but it gives off a cosy vibe. There are beautiful images on the wall. I thought it was a full Italian restaurant but it is Italian and Greek combined.<br/ <br/ To start my friend and I shared the caprese insalata and the hummus with pita. The hummus was one of the best hummus' I have ever tasted. It was quite dense with chickpeas and had a garlic flare. The caprese insalata would have tasted better if the tomatoes they used were not as ripe. I found the ripeness of the tomatoes made the salad a bit soggy overall.<br/ <br/ For a main dish I had the cartoccio with a cream red sauce. It was super tasty. There was a lot of seafood in my dish so I didn't feel cheated. Though I did not receive the spinach tortellini I asked for, it tasted good regardless. Everyone else enjoyed their meal as well.<br/ <br/ The only downfall is the service. The amount of time it took for us to get our food was quite slow. I found it hard to get a hold of our server who appeared to be a little scattered at the best of times. Otherwise the price is good and I would definitely return.
