Ama’s w**e dinners are back this fall and we couldn’t be more excited! Starting of with Martin Hofstätter from Weingut Tenuta J. Hofstätter to celebrate all the beautiful w**es from Alto Adige.

Martin will share five outstanding w**es throughout the night, capped off with a side-by-side tasting of two vintages of Barthenau Vigna San Urbano Pinot Nero. The flight will be paired with a four-course, family-style dinner crafted by Chef Johanna Hellrigl.

Tira-mi-su literally translates to “Pull Me Up” and we think the Ama Tiramisu is the perfect pick me up for any occasion.

Our signature dessert features housemade savoiardi made with Big Bold Health Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat Flour. Not only is the flour gluten-free and a complete protein, but it’s rich in prebiotic fiber, low-glycemic and abundant in minerals. Dipped in Italian coffee & then layered between a filling of Sucanat, Mascarpone and Pasture-Raised Organic Eggs. Between the Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat & Dark Cacao Powder dusted on top, this dessert is a polyphenol powerhouse while still tasting delicious!

We’ve extended RAMW Restaurant Week for one more week so you can give it a try. Don’t skip out on our Tiramisu Gelato as well 👀 (More on That Soon…)

Rainy days, no matter the temperature, call for soups and stews.

Our Pasta Fagioli is made exactly the way Chef Johanna grew up smelling it on the stove.

Some families make it with cannellini beans, others with borlotti. We prefer borlotti for their creamy texture and nutty flavor, which also makes this dish 100% vegan and full of protein, fiber, and minerals.

We source the best organic heirloom borlotti beans from via and pair them with Monograno Felicetti organic ancient grain farro ditalini pasta. A Gluten Free pasta is always available to substitute!

A bowl of comfort, the Ama way. 🫘 See you for Lunch!

Happy Memorial Day from Ama! We’re open today. Stop by the bancone for a caffè, or sit down and relax with us inside.

From fresh cornetti 🥐 to frittatas, breakfast is covered. We also make our A2 yogurt in-house, topped with our signature grain-free muesli made with Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat Sprout Powder for an extra polyphenol boost.

And the best news: our farming co-op just brought us the first organic blueberries of the summer 🥹 We don’t serve berries year-round, only when we can get the good stuff, and they’re always worth the wait.

Come spend the morning with us!

Happy International Women’s Day from some of the amazing women that make Ama so very special! We hope to see you from 2-5pm today for our Donne, Disco and Daiquiri Aperitivo Hour celebrating our women bar leaders like competing for , beautiful vintage vinyl music from and flowers from with a portion of proceeds going to for breast cancer prevention!

Did you know 1 in 8 women today will be diagnosed with breast cancer? Yet, 90% of cases are not linked to family history, but to lifestyle, environmental, and toxic chemical exposures. That’s why BCPP is the leading science-based advocacy organization working to end the preventable risk factors linked to breast cancer— to save lives and stop the disease before it starts.

Come for the music. Stay for the flowers. Support prevention. Celebrate the women.
