Cafe La Amore - Oakland

During my second visit to Cafe L'Amore, I was once again delighted by the experience, proving that this spot consistently delivers excellent cuisine. The atmosphere of the cafe remains warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a variety of dining occasions. The pizza, always a simple yet revealing dish in terms of kitchen quality, was outstanding. The crust was perfectly crispy and the toppings were fresh and flavorful, showcasing attention to detail and high-quality ingredients. The lamb shank was also exceptional, tender and succulent, cooked to perfection and richly seasoned, demonstrating the care put into their slow-cooked dishes. Desserts were equally impressive, with each offering showcasing skill and finesse, from delicate pastries to rich, decadent chocolates, providing a sweet conclusion to a fantastic meal. The service at Cafe L'Amore was attentive but not intrusive, enhancing the overall positive experience. The staff's knowledge and passion for their offerings were evident, as they made recommendations and shared details about the menu items. For those in search of a restaurant that consistently serves high-quality food, offers a charming atmosphere, and delivers excellent service, I highly recommend Cafe L'Amore. It remains a hidden gem that impresses with every visit, making it a destination worth visiting for locals and travelers alike.

First Time There, The host Michael assisted everyone at the table with dinner selections. Food was great as was the service, Pleasant ambiance. A keeper

Just had the chicken formaggia or famaggio (oops, I am not Italian over linguine. Absolutely not only the best dinner I have ever had out ....also the best dinner I have ever had!!!! And I am 67 years old so that says a lot!!!! Thank you again Mark. You are second to none !!!!

Excellent svc bit slow but, OK . Excellent food but , walked out still a bit hungry .Quantity of food getting less and less by the year

Have been coming here for years and years. Food is consistently absolutely delicious. Don't be fooled by location in small strip mall. Exterior unassuming, interior cozy, clean, cloth tables and napkins. Service friendly and knowledgeable. Two important details, it is a BYOB, and there is no turnover in staff, wait staff have all been here for a very long time . this is a sign of management being fair and kind to workers. Very impressive.
