"Great Italian spot! I've lived close by for a few years but never really noticed this place. My wife and I decided to give it a try last night. We came about 6PM on Friday. We sat at the bar (we often prefer bar seating, but they have nice table seating as well). Service was beyond amazing. Everyone was helpful with suggestions and attentive. We ordered a couple mojitos (coconut mango). They were freshly prepared and very good. We tried their calamari as an appetizer. We decided to have half normal calamari half a spicy garlic flavor. Both very good! The normal style was what you are used to, and it was cooked to perfection. The spicy garlic version had an oily sauce on it. The flavor was amazing. Both my wife and I couldn't get enough! I will say the sauce makes the breading not as crunchy. We didn't mind that at all, but just a heads up incase that crunch is super important to you. For meals my wife made her own spaghetti with Italian sausage crumbles (they have options where you can pick your pasta, sauce, meats). I had their stuffed mushroom appetizer. Her spaghetti was amazing. She likes some spice, so she let them know and the sauce was so good. Lots of meat, tons of flavor, and just the right spice. Best pasta we've had in a long time. The stuffed mushrooms I had were great. Never had anything quite like it. And so glad I tried it. They are covered in a creamy sauce and filled with Italian sausage. Very good! They even had a singer that was great and entertaining. Very nice guy with a great voice and good song choices. They don't have live music every day I don't think. But they did this Friday. Overall, this place was great all around. Wish I had come here sooner. But glad I've been now. Will for sure be back!"

"Honestly, I used to order all the time. Not any more. I ordered a pizza that was way undercooked and a chicken par. I ordered the chicken parm sub with extra cheese, they didn?t put any extra cheese. And to be honest, it didn?t even seem like they gavemuch effort to make it as is basic off of the menu. There was barely any chicken, cheese, or sauce. Just mainly bread. I wish Ihad caught this before they served it. I would have told them it was unacceptable. I guess I?ll feed it to the wildlife. There?sreally no nutritional value from ordering from here. Pizza was soggy and under prepped. If you go in, it?s a bunch of young kidsthat don?t care about anything other than the game currently playing. Really disappointing that this place used to be a staple.And to be completely honest, I don?t want a response from the owner saying ?I?m sorry please reach out to us directly so we cancorrect this issue?. How about, no. You can correct the issue by actually caring about your business and genuinely caring aboutthe products that you put out. By the way, your penne alla vodka is a joke. I?ve spoken to quite a few of long time customersthat now actually redirect their business elsewhere because of the poor quality of food. Sad to say but spend your money elsewhere. I will take photos to follow up. But if it helps to make up your mind, don?t waste your money here. Such a shame. EDIT:I just want it to be known that if you go there to pick up your food, it?s usually some younger female to deal with the overloadof phone calls while the males in the back, carelessly grow around food making poor mistakes to which they call food while theywatch foot ball and place bets and worry about fantasy football while they put out your ?worthless meals? they really do missthe point of the food and how much Amore used to mean. Such a shame but honestly, there are so many better places to order fromaround wallingford. The terms pasta and sauce don?t even ring a bell to these kids any"
