At Amorina, the star of the show is, undoubtedly, the pizza. From their Kids Size Siciliana topped with Sicilian ricotta, fennel, and caramelized onions to the classic Puttanesca featuring stewed tomatoes and anchovies, there’s something for everyone. The crust is thin and perfectly crispy, making each bite a delightful experience. One customer, Nina M., raves about the uniquely delicious zucchini pizza, a must-try for those looking to explore new flavors.
But the menu doesn’t stop at pizza. The pasta offerings are equally enticing, with dishes like the rich Burro & Parmigiano and the captivating Ricotta Cavatelli with Broccoli Rabe. Each dish embodies the essence of traditional Italian cooking, prepared with the finest ingredients and a touch of love. The Eggplant Parmigiana, described by regulars as decadent and cheesy, is a standout dish that perfectly captures the heart of Italian home cooking.
For those seeking a refreshment, you’re in for a treat! Amorina has recently introduced frozen cocktails, like the house favorite Frozen Negroni. As Amie K. points out, these cocktails are not only delicious but also come in convenient to-go cups—a perfect companion for a summer picnic or a cozy night in.

The zucchini pizza (very unique and delish!) and mushroom pasta were both wins highly recommended.
They have added frozen cocktails to the menu!! I had the frozen Negroni - it was the perfect cocktail for a hot summer night. I also learned that they also offer these cocktails in to go cups! Brilliant.
Great neighborhood restaurant with solid food and no frills. They have a special for pasta, salad and pizza which rotates quite frequently so it is a great place to have in your rotation to frequent.
This is our "treat" place when we are getting Italian takeout and in the mood to spend a drop more. Everything they make is delicious! My personal favorite is the decadent eggpant parmigiana. Oh, it is so cheesy and tomato-y and good! I also get their salad (the one with the chickpeas) a lot as a side--always very fresh, with tasty dressing. My kids can't get enough of their pizzas and pastas. Pizza has wonderfully thin crust--delightful.
Such an underrated place. The pizza is amazing, Carbonara and Fichi are my favorites. Nice decor too I recommend it to everyone.
We hadn't planned on eating out, we were just on our feet all day enjoying the late summer weather when we realized it was past six and I hadn't the energy to cook - Amorim's to the rescue! What a lovely place to relax and enjoy delicious pizza in a casual environment with super friendly staff. They have indoor and outdoor seating on the lively boulevard. Great for families, get togethers with friends - they serve beer and wine- and this is a family owned business so things are done with care and detail. Even dessert was devoured by my 13 year old chocolate connoisseur.
Reguarly visit and love the menu! I think the meatball appetizer, pesto pasta, spaghetti and margarita pizza are TO DIE for! Drink/cocktail wise, the Aperol Spritz's are particularly tasty but the "Arnie P" is good too- both are perfect amount of alcohol! I wish the cocktail menu was a bit broader-but overall am in love with the drinks currently on the menu as well as the food.
Amorina's food is a good 3.5, but you can get a table, they have outdoor seating and the service is really nice, so those things are enough to make it a 4. The food is tasty, but not stand out amazing Italian, but, again, it's a no fuss spot to grab a bite and that counts for a lot sometimes. If you're coming for the pizza, the crust is thin and crispy (not thin and doughy) and it's important to know the difference! Overall, Amorina is a trusty local spot but not a strong standout for Italian.
