About Us

Family dining

authentic cuisine

Located in Longhurst shopping centre, Halswell, The Amore Italian Restaurant is proud to present stunning Italian cuisine and wine in a beautiful, modern setting.

When you dine with us, you can expect a small and intimate restaurant serving beautiful cuisine and Italian wines – and with the welcome mat rolled out for families. Yes, we love eating out with our families, but we’d rather skip the stress that comes with feeling like children aren’t welcome, so one of our core values is to offer an authentic family restaurant where you can truly relax – without compromising on the standard of your dining experience.

We look forward to seeing you!
