Absolutely terrible. Only reason for two stars is Carolyn was an amazing server and worked her bottom off to make things right. Unfortunately, the staff in the kitchen do not give a **** about the food and there was no love in it, let alone amore in the ambiance. This place needs a lot of work. Menu sounds amazing but execution was terrible beyond belief. White table cloths but lighting and table placement was not romantic or love inspiring. Husband Ordered lobster piccata and two tightly curled over cooked lobster tails arrived with some kind of minuscule tasteless sauce drizzled on them. Brocolli was dried and dead dead and he said the lobster was extremely briny tasting. Also I ordered a blue New York strip and it showed up medium well and had no seasoning or flavor. My asparagus was okay. My lobster tail was cooked nicely but lacked flavor. Carolyn tried to make it right and offered me a free dessert. Ordered crème brûlée and it was clearly a boxed vanilla pudding with sugar put over the top and brûlées to feel fancy. What a shame! We won 't eat there again. it was our 29 year wedding anniversary and Easter and it is now memorable for the all the wrong reasons.

While the ambiance is somewhat basic and generic, which is what I would expect from a casino restaurant, the service was outstanding. Our server, Vicky, had extensive experience in the dining industry and was well-informed about the menu, providing wonderful recommendations and pairings. I wholeheartedly recommend Amore. It’s well worth the price and an excellent option for a special dinner in the Salem area, whether for a birthday, anniversary, or any other celebration.

The food was mediocre and not worth the price; I should have opted for the Sports Bar instead. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food rating: 3 Service rating: 4 Atmosphere rating: 4
