D'amore's Ristorante

From the vibes to the bread to the dinner - 10/10. Bread was hot and fresh, the dipping oil was incredible. The food was amazing. My mom said it’s the best chicken parm she ever had. Pictured is the fettuccine Alfredo and mussels. We didn’t have a reservation and didn’t have to wait to be seated, they accommodated 5 of us and pushed together tables. Waitresses were kind and cheerful! Will definitely be back.

Such a cozy, lovely Italian spot in New Smyrna! We visit from Orlando on a regular basis and this was our first time checking out D’Amore. The service was wonderful, Ashley was amazing and all of her recommendations were spot on, from the wine to the carrot cake cheesecake. We’re very picky about Italian restaurants but everything was genuinely delicious and also loved that they are a seed oil free restaurant. 100% coming back very soon!

Accommodating, elegant, and warm. D’Amore’s never skips a beat! From each meal to each staff interaction, this local favorite keeps us coming back.

This place easily takes first place for my all time favorite restaurant. The food is amazing no matter what i get and I’m a picky eater. The service is incredible. Everyone working there has the perfect amount of humor and so kind to anyone and everyone. The atmosphere is perfect and looking around you can see how hard they worked perfecting every detail about it. The color choices, the seating, the lights, the cork roof, everything is so pleasing.

Atmosphere is cozy, bread is a great starter, the pesto dip is amazing! Red wine was great and food was delicious! Highly recommend!

This place is so cute and cozy! The menu is filled with great authentic Italian food and what my wife and I got was FANTASTIC! She got the rigatoni bolognese and I had the ravioli bolognese. Both of these dishes were the best we have ever had. The cheesecake….let me tell you they make the BEST cheesecake from scratch I’ve ever tasted! The prices were very reasonable and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. If you’re looking for a hidden gem in New Smyrna this is it! 10/10 service and Kelly who was our server was great as well! We will be going back LOTS! And I think you will be adding this restaurant to your favorite list as well!

Definitely a keeper. Really small and cute decor. Love the ceilings, so be sure to look up. Started with fresh baked bread, hot with olive oil to dip. Next was meatball app which was delicious, but could have been warmer. Jess had tomato bisque that she loved and I had Caesar salad with anchovies. Good quality but the dressing had no taste. Main courses were awesome. I had chicken parm and it was great. Super hot and crispy! Jess had their signature dish, the crepe lasagna. It was full of meat and cheese, yet very light. Definitely a must try dinner and must stop spot!

In our opinion, this is one of the best Italian restaurants anywhere. All our food was amazing. Scratch kitchen, family recipes and authentic. Great vibe. Enjoyed meeting the Chef/Owner to extend our compliments in person. Our server Ashley was outstanding. Can’t wait to return for another wonderful experience!
