No one would hire me as a cook or kitchen manager 20 years ago when I already had 20 plus years of experience in the restaurant industry. So, Maurizio and I opened our own place, Amore Trattoria Italiana. We saw a need for an authentic Italian trattoria but had no money and 2 daughters under the age of 5. We maxed out credit cards and had a partner until we could buy them out. People still walk past me asking for the owner some days. We had to pivot to a drive thru during COVID. We survived. FOOD HUGS was born out of the turbulent times. All of this to remind you, you can do hard things. You deserve to follow your dreams. There will be times where you want to give up. Don’t.

We are so thankful for your continued support and dedication to us.

Grazie Mille for voting for us for Best Italian Restaurant 11 years in a row, since R***e West Michigan started these awards. Thank you for voting for me as Best Chef for 11 straight years. I feel so loved and blessed & 11 is our lucky number. 🩷🇮🇹🩷

We are starting our 17th year of Amore and aren’t planning on going anywhere for a very long time!

We are thrilled to be mentioned and still relevant after starting our 17th year soon! Thanks to everyone who has graced our tables and let us love on you by way of food, drinks and music!🩷

These Michigan Italian restaurants fill up fast every night, and once you taste the food, it is not hard to understand why people keep coming back and planning ahead just to get a seat.
