Our honest review of Amo

Ambience at Amo Restaurant

Good vibes, solid food, and reasonable prices.

We tried two starters, three mains and two desserts, and here’s what we think about the food.

Definitely go for the steak

$42 for a plate of wagyu is a pretty good price, especially when the wagyu actually melts in your mouth.

It’s nothing too crazy. Just a solid steak and truffle mash done right.

Other dishes at Amo

Grilled Octopus at Amo

Seafood lovers can also opt for the Grilled Spanish Octopus with Black Olive and Paprika Cream ($38). The portion is decent, and I loved the texture, which was soft, but chewy enough that it retains a bite.

Just like the Wagyu, the seasonings here were simple, letting the quality of the ingredients speak for itself.

Strozzapretti Pasta with Jumbo Crab and Tomatoes

The last main we tried, the Strozzapreti with Jumbo Crab, Tomato and Mascarpone ($35), tasted good, but could’ve had a bit more crabs for the price we’re paying.

For starters, the Creamy Pumpkin Soup with True Pesto and Piemonte Hazelnuts ($22) tasted alright. Probably would order something else with the $22.

Yellowfin Tuna Tartare with Avocado

But, the Yellowfin Tuna Tartare with Avocado and Pickled Cucumber ($24) was light and refreshing, the perfect start to the meal.

Desserts at Amo

We tried two desserts.

Pannacotta with Blood Orange

The Pannacotta with Blood Orange Caramel ($15) was textbook, with a jiggly and creamy consistency. The touch of blood orange, with a good mix of acidity and sweetness, balanced the syrupy profile of the vanilla in the pannacotta.

Definitely, one of the best desserts we’ve had.

Tiramisu at Amò Restaurant

Next, the Amò Tiramisù ($18) had a consistent and fresh of the mascarpone mixture. But overall, it was too chocolatey and overpriced.
