Best WLM Reviews
Decided to check out the oldest restaurant in Detroit, Amore Da Roma.
We made reservations for 6pm although we were running a little late due to weather and poor planning on our end. They were super understanding and assured us it was not a problem. The service here is absolutely outstanding! I could not have asked for better hospitality, and Tommy was our amazing server. Everyone here makes you feel so welcome and at home.
Walking in you feel like you stepped back in time. It was simple and cozy. You can’t go wrong with any of their cocktails, I had a Manhattan, and everyone including myself enjoyed their drinks. Prior to our entrees, we all started off with some of the best Minestrone and Roasted Red Pepper Soup I’ve ever had personally.
I decided on the Filet Minion cooked rare, the Lamb Chops cooked medium and Parmesan Encrusted Salmon were ordered by the two next to me which made it very easy to sneak a bite or two of each. The Filet was cooked perfectly, and was solid. No complaints here. The Lamb Chops that my friend ordered medium ended up coming out well done. Our waiter Tommy gave no fuss about it and brought out a new order which was then cooked perfectly, and was delicious! Things happen and hopefully someone in the kitchen got to enjoy the previous plate. The Salmon was huge and very delicious as well.
Ordered but not pictured are the Lasagna and Veal Parmesan. Those were the two that really stole the show. The Lasagna was so so so cheesy and the red sauce was to die for! The Veal Parmesan will more than likely be my order next time, absolutely outstanding. We all got a side of Fettuccine Alfredo which was also some of the best I’ve had.
It was safe to say we were all way too full for dessert, starting off with a generous serving of complimentary bread and butter is just as much a blessing as it is a curse. Overall between the history, the service, and the food, this place will definitely be added on to rotation. Thank you so much Amore Da Roma for an amazing night!
This restaurant is very nice. The ambience in this restaurant is amazing. The bar tender is very nice his name is Mat. There is a waitress named Steven and he is very nice. ???? I had a shrimp ???? and chicken ???? Alfredo. The noodles were fresh and made in house. ????????
Let me start by saying the food was good. Where it went downhill was when we received the bill (which is the only reason I give one star). There were 4 of us. Two ordered the Shrimp Scampi. On the first page of the menu, it lists appetizers on the left size, then Dinner Menu on the right side. My two friends ordered the Shrimp Scampi from the first page (see picture). It was listed as $22. Our server NEVER asked them if they wanted the appetizer or dinner portion. Based on the menu, what they selected was "Dinner". However, when the bill came, they were charged $37 for the dish instead of $22. When they asked the server, he said he brought them the dinner portion that was inside the menu (vs. the first page). They hadn't noticed the one inside the menu. I'm showing this part of the menu so you can see what they were ordering. They even asked for a manager, who just said they ordered the dinner portion. They just ordered Shrimp Scampi from the first page, not knowing there were different portions. Good customer service would have been for the server or manager to say "I can see how that could have been confusing, and we'll only charge you for the appetizer portion." But they did not, didn't discount it at all, and the manager was not very nice. So if you decide to eat here, make sure you specify appetizer or dinner portion so you are not overcharged. I would not go back or recommend.
I have been to this old Italian restaurant in Detroit probably 20 times in the last several years. The veal in the past has been very good. This evening it was dry. Like it had been frozen and taken out and thawed improperly. It had little taste. The marsala sauce was fine. When I brought it to the attention of the waiter he brought in the apparent manager who basically insulted me, questioning my reaction to the poor quality of the veal. I told him to take it away. There was no offer to do any kind of adjustment, any kind of substitution. And at that point I didn’t want any further response from them. I simply let them know on departing that I would never ever be in this restaurant again after enjoying a lot of good experiences here. This place has gone way downhill. I suggest all stay away to avoid the poor experience I had.
Food was disgusting! Service was Horrendous! Amy was the only kind soul in that place. Save yourself the trouble and go to Giovanni’s Restaurante if you’re looking for good rustic Italian in Detroit.
Excellent food and service at Amore Da Roma. We had Dave as our server he was very attentive and kind. Our water glasses keep getting refilled by other servers, and our plates got cleared in a timely manner.
We had dinner for Christmas with 8 friends last night. It was fantastic! Food was amazing. Our server, Matt was terrific! We will definitely be back soon!
Great history and food to match. Wait staff open to share the proud history serving since 1890 Detroit history right in Eastern Market. The Tiramsu was light and very pleasing without being heavy a great finish to any entrée. The homemade cabbage soup delicious. All the pasta you can't go wrong with. Stop in if you have a chance.
