I have had Amore on my list to visit for a very long time, but Merchant City is not an area of Glasgow I tend to visit a lot mostly as I am either in the centre or West End….but I have added a few more restaurants to my list so I will be seeing this area more.
While I was at work I got a ping in my inbox, and it was an invite to come and visit Amore and feel the atmosphere and taste the food….now how could I refuse I LOVE Italian food so I thanked them for the invite and accepted.
First Impression :
On entering it had that traditional Italian restaurant look and feel, and as I was walking to my table the smells ohhhh mmmmm my mouth started to water right away.
Looking about everyone was having a good time, and also enjoying the food so I couldn’t wait to take a look at the menu and see what I would order.
As my readers will know from my posts, I have visited Italy since I was about 6 months old every year so when it comes to Italian food I am VERY fussy!!
The Food…
Starter
Calamari Fritti £5.95 (Tonight £N/A)
Deef fried squid. Served with tartare sauce
On arrived the first thing I noticed was, this was a big portion for a starter but I was hungry so it was perfect for me.
Normally this is a very hit or miss dish, so time to dig in and see…
This has to be the best Calamari I have had, the Calamari was not chewy or rubbery it was 100% perfect! I am very impressed so far…
Portion Size : 5
Flavour : 5
Presentation : 5
Value for Money : N/A
Main Course
Spaghetti Carbonara £10.25 (Tonight £N/A)
Strips of succulent bacon, garlic, white wine, black pepper, egg yolk and cream
On arrival this looked so good, and smelled so good…..
WOW is all I can say this was again perfect, the flavours were just amazing with every mouthful!! I cant wait to have this again, and again I think this is the best Carbonara I have tasted!

Garlic Bread £2.95 (Tonight £N/A)
This for me was a little disappointing, it didn’t have enough garlic for me but that could be a personal thing.
It was just ok.
Portion Size : 5
Flavour : 3
Presentation : 4
Value for Money : N/A
Tiramisu £5.45 (Tonight N/A)
This was nice, not as strong a flavour as I would have liked but it was still very nice.
To be honest by the time I got on to this I was really full, so I was only half enjoying it due to that but it was very nice and I will have it again next visit and when I am not ready to explode 🙂
Portion Size : 5
Flavour : 3.5
Presentation : 5

Overall
As always even though tonight’s food was free thanks to Amore, I am still writing a 100% honest review.
Apart from the Garlic Bread, I enjoyed everything from start to finish. The portion sizes are amazing, and due to that its very good value for money.
At first I thought the starters were larger due to me being a blogger and Amore knew I was there, but looking around nope! everyone had just as big a starter so this is very good!!!
Amore is now my favourite Italian in Glasgow, due to the amazing flavours and value for money. I know this restaurant is a little out the main centre but do check them out, you will not be dissapointed!!!!
Finally a BIG thank you to again Amore for inviting me, I had a fantastic time and fantastic food!!
Grazie
