Amaro in Blackpool

We managed to get a table for 6 on a walk in which was perfect. The hosts were attentive and cheerful. The food selection was great with some specials available too.

This is a hidden gem of Blackpool. We didn't book and where shown to our seat straight away by a lovely member of staff. We ordered our food which , having been a few times and sampled most things on the menu was fantastic along with the staff who where attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommended.

Managed to find this restaurant by accident and so pleased we did. Excellent food, excellent attentive service from all staff members. We were lucky to get in as didn’t prebook but just timed it right. We felt looked after all night from the moment we walked in. Every single staff member paid full attention to what was happening in the restaurant at all times ensuring the service was impeccable. The food was lovely we really enjoyed our meal and time there and would highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely evening!

A wonderful Italian restaurant with an incredible atmosphere. Very attentive service, very polite and knowledgeable. My wife and I both had calimaris to start, beautifully presented and tasted Devine. My wife had Spaghetti Bolognaise and I had tagliatelle al salmone. Lovely. My partner finished with profiteroles and I had tiramisu. Highly recommended.

We booked this restaurant for a pre-show meal and were not disappointed. The food was fantastic and the staff and service were brilliant. Would highly recommend.

What a great find! We hadn’t pre booked but a table was made ready for our family of 5. Food is excellent all round and the staff were helpful, friendly and very attentive. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic restaurant. We had not pre booked and although the restaurant had started to fill up they still found space for a family of four. The food was fantastic, we went for the garlic bread and pate to start, followed by a chefs special Ravioli with lobster, cannelloni and a margarita pizza. I have to say the dough used for the garlic bread and pizza was delicious! House wine lovely and the staff were so friendly and funny. The location is great, only 5 mins walk from the tower. Would highly recommend

I had the sea bass from specials menu. Bit worried about description and waiter knowledgeable and said it could be adjusted. Well it was perfect, served with a professional chefs distinction. As for the taste, top notch. The glass of wine probably wasn’t the best choice to have with the fish but I do like a pink. The dessert I wasn’t so impressed with - ‘home made’ tiramisu - but to sweet for me - defo one for sharing. I should have got the starter. Great service and good atmosphere.

The food is delicious and the staff are friendly and professional. Lovely inside and in a perfect position in the town centre near the Winter Gardens.

This place had been recommended but I was disappointed. A very buzzy atmosphere but the food was average and the service slow. The location is excellent however.

Fourth time here. Probably the last. Think the business has changed hands. Service was functional. The male waiter was better than everyone else. Antipasti was expensive for what was on offer and were underwhelming. Secondi were well cooked and good. It was an ok experience, hence the score. Used to be excellent. Shame.

What a gorgeous meal at Amaro after seeing a show at the Opera House. Beautifully decorated restaurant and absolutely lovely staff (be still my beating heart!). Had the mushrooms in Stilton on bruschetta for starter and the polla alla creams and it was divine. Such a lovely place and I wish it was a bit closer to home

Great modern restaurant&fantastic service.I had ravioli which was delicious&cooked to perfection. Plenty of vegetarian options.

We stopped off by chance before attending opera house. So glad we got a table. Food was quick and piping hot. Very flavoursome.

We arrived without booking and staff were very accommodating even though they had to offer a limited time slot. Perfectly cooked calamari. Melt in the mouth fillet steak with delicious roasties and broccoli in Stilton sauce. Fabulous tiramisu and sticky toffee pudding. Lovely staff and great atmosphere. Altogether outstanding. We'll be back next November.

Excellent service from arrival to departure. Plenty of menu choices from pasta, pizza and meat or fish dishes. Reasonably priced for the quality 😜 f the food and service.

Booked here initially due to the proximity to the Winter Gardens for a pre show meal. A little confusing on entering, as we had reserved a table and people without reservations were walking in and being seated before us. This was the only negative. Once we were seated and ordered, the communication on waiting times was spot on. We ordered a Lasagne and a Calzone. The food was delicious, extremely tasty and reasonably priced for a town centre restaurant. We departed well fed and watered. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will most certainly dine here again.

Chose due to proximity to Winter Gardens ( literally next door) and previous reviews ( which were so accurate) Lovely pasta for all of us and my Lobster Ravioli was delicious Portions were great, and the service from all was just smiley and lovely. Will...

I was attending an event at the wintergardens and wea looking for a restaurant close by. Luckily, we found this little gem. It had a very good atmosphere, the staff were friendly and helpful, but the best thig was the food. What we got far...

Visited Amaro before going to the theatre. Lovely food, lovely staff, excellent service and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Right in town centre, easy to find, beautiful food and great service highly recommend. Lasagna,garlic bread and extra Parmesan to finish it off.The sauce around the lasagna was something different but fantastic.

Superb gluten free pizza They don’t make it obvious that they have gluten free pizza and pasta options which is surprising because the pizza was superb, made on the premises, not a pre-packed base. My partner had the the tagliatelle salmon and also thoroughly enjoyed...

Set right in centre of Blackpool with plenty of parking in locality. We had been meaning to go here for some time and due to an unpleasant experience experience at Casa Franco, thought we would give this place a try and were so glad we...

At the time of writing, the restaurant was rated 30 in Blackpool but I feel it should be far higher! Amazing meal with fantastic service.

Just spent a weekend in Blackpool (for the Elvis Festival) and ate here every night, because it is just that good. Uncomplicated menu, simply well-cooked food, served by attentive staff.

Delicious food, tasty wine and I would certainly be back. Great atmosphere and wonderful service. Can't wait to return!

Enjoyed a lovely meal before a show at the opera house. Could see they were busy with three big groups. I think a couple of tables complaining about the wait for food but our service time was fine. Some new and different things to try,...

The restaurant is located in the middle of Blackpool at the side of the Winter Gardens . It is immaculately clean and modern. We attended on a rainy midweek night although the restaurant was quiet it had a lot of atmosphere due to the managers...

Unbelievable food, exceptional service and outstanding value. Turned up prime Saturday evening with no booking but the restaurant couldn't do enough to accommodate us. Starters unreal , main courses even better , and the dessert , a perfect way to round off a lovely evening....

Visited the restaurant, having been recommended by a friend......and it didn't disappoint. As a group of 11 friends we had a wonderful meal (all meals were delicious, especially the ribs, steak and salmon tagliatelle) with excellent customer service. We will definitely be returning

We went New Years Eve while staying in Blackpool We have been a couple times before The service & food are excellent & never let us down.

Was lovely and quiet when we visited, the waiter was very attentive and polite. Food was delish especially the special bruschetta for Christmas!

Visited prior to a show at the Winter Gardens. First visit and won't be the last. Excellent choice on the menu. My wife had chicken livers and I had spare ribs to start. Food was piping hot and very tasty. We both had pizzas which...

We popped in without a booking for a pre-show meal. We had little more than an hour to play with when we walked in. The service was excellent, and the food equally so. We would certainly go back. A big thank you to the young...

Just had a meal at amaro Italian restaurant in Blackpool and I have to say it was an absolute pleasure to eat at this restaurant the service was and is superb and the food has a full Italian flavour I would go as far as...

Fitted 7 of us in despite being busy. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. Staff were great. Been a few times over the years on trips to Blackpool and it’s always the same good food. I can recommend the salmon pasta dish.

Excellent meal. Although they were busy they squeezed us in. Service was impeccable, food really tasty. Garlic bread was freshly baked. Very impressive all round

What a great Italian find in Blackpool. If you love Italian food, you won't be disappointed here. They catered perfectly for my daughter's gluten free needs. Food was amazing, especially the gluten free garlic bread. Great value for money but make sure you book as...

Visited today for my daughter's 18th birthday. We went a couple of hours earlier and they allowed us to leave balloons and table decorations which they set up for us at the time we had booked in. Staff were very attentive and always made sure...

The manager squeezed us in as we hadn’t booked and the meal was lovely. Reasonably priced and decent portions. Great waiting staff too

Visited as a group of 8 (ages 6-60) on bank holiday weekend. Restaurant is in a nice location on a public square opposite a church. The decor is very chic. Waiters were attentive from the get-go; we had an allergy sufferer in our group and...

Just returned from excellent meal here.Food was delicious & staff could not have been friendlier- produced takeaway boxes for kids unfinished pizzas. Check the daily specials menu. While not the cheapest certainly one of the best. Thank you.

Food was amazing and waiters were very attentive. We’d tried 3 Italian restaurants during our short stay in Blackpool and this one was the best.

Great restaurant with excellent food and service. Salmon tagliatelle was delicious. House red wine was good and reasonably priced.

Very busy restaurant with little space between tables. Menu was varied with some different meals. We both found both starters & main meals were just ok rather than lovely, may have been wrong choice. Service was good for a busy restaurant & house wine was...

A chance visit on the busiest day and they accommodated our family with a very warm welcome. Service was superb - all staff attentive and although very busy always available. Establishment is very well decorated and has a very relaxed feel. Food excellent, fresh, piping...

We just love their Italians dishes...it feels like you are served by lovely Nonna somewhere in Italy. The owner is really friendly and polite all the time and we feel very welcomed. Thank you for yet another great food experience

Very nice restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff, and great food. You might need to book ahead, but it is worth it. Excellent value for money.

This restaurant is completely on point took my family there and was amazed at the quality of both food and service and then for it to be so reasonable means it gets full marks from me. Now is on my List of must go restaurants...

We were looking for a healthier option from fish and chips etc and don't usually eat Italian but thought we would give it a try. We were lucky as only 2 of us, to get a table so quickly. Service is good and attentive and...

Booked 1 night in advance - advised busy at the time we wanted but happy to book us in when advised we were going to a show. Friendly table service , good variety on the menu , good portion sizes , reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Fantastic service fantastic food staff very friendly and helpful, will definitely be going back and definitely recommend

Place was quiet. We stopped off and were made to feel like they could squeeze us in. Still loads of free tables when we left. Young man behind the bar was very pleasant and attentive. Food was very tasty but soon went cold as we...

First class service and excellent food. Nothing too much trouble. Very tasty spaghetti bolognaise, lasagna and the garlic bread is as big as a pizza! Highly recommended.

Fresh food. Really had an amazing night. The staff were very friendly.they were attentive and looked after us all night.

We visited Amaro before going to the theatre, the location is perfect between the car park and the venue. The food was really tasty, the decor was classy and comfortable. But most of all, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even on a busy...

We tried this place for a pre-theatre meal as Bella Italia wasn't available and so glad we did. Really nice, authentic Italian and the good was delicious. Excellent service too. Would highly recommend and we will definitely return.

Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. Good range of food with something to suit every pocket. Seemed popular with walk-ins as well as those who booked (like us). Good selection of starters but beware the pizzas are huge but really good! The toilet facilities were pristine.

Been here a few times always busy, service is exceptional, and the food is divine. It's not a busy menu but it covers everything and everything we've had has been special.

We really enjoyed our dinner here which was on a busy Thursday evening ahead of the Kinky Boots show at the nearby Grand Theatre. We let the waiter know we had to be finished by 7.10 latest and they made sure we were, which was...

We were visiting to see our friends in a show and wanted a pre theatre meal. What a lovely restaurant, the whole experience was first class. Service was so good, attentive and very friendly. Food was gorgeous, wine lovely and all very reasonable. I had...

Beautiful food and nice atmosphere at the restaurant, just be careful when booking, we went in to book and when we went our table wasn’t ready until 25 minutes later, alright if you haven’t got a show to get to

Looking for an Italian in the centre of town booking this place was a bit of a challenge,we wouldn't normally have bothered but seeing that it was Mothers Day it seemed wide to do so. First problem,no online booking,second problem the phone number shown doesn't...

We visited the Amaro early on a Saturday evening after coming across it whilst wandering around Blackpool. We were greeted in the lobby by a waitress and told that they could accommodate us, but that the card machine was not working. From previous reviews it...

The principal of our sons dance school organised a meal out for the competition teams. Staff were brilliant…especially the young male waiter who was very helpful, friendly & attentive! Food was delicious. The Kitchen did extremely well to get all the food out. Thank you...

A valentines treat, but to be honest can’t believe we have never dined here before !!! We were greeted and shown our table by a lovely young man. Scallops and black pudding starter with mustard sauce amazing he had the ribs, so tender. Both had...

Excellent ambiance, service food and pricing. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. My wife had Prosecco, I had the Chianti. My wife had calamari to start were I had black pudding with scollops. We both had the Tagilliatelli a salmoni for our main. A wonderful...

Came across this restaurant by accident and it’s wonderful. Great food, lovely service. Fresh salad, al dente pasta, great wine and coffee

Me and my boyfriend went to amaros for New Year’s Eve , left booking until a bit late but luckily managed to get in very last minute , very happy we did get into this Italian as it turned out the food was absolutely delicious...

We went to Amaro to celebrate a friends birthday and the level of service received from a young man who served us completely ruined our whole trip to this restaurant. When this young man proceeded to seat us (he was scruffily presented and not in...

Positively the worst Italian restaurant I have ever visited. Where do I start. The waiters were two very young lads, not much older than twenty, and you could tell by their attitude and demeanour that they didn't want to be there. Lets call them A...

We have visited annually for the last 5 years, we missed last year due to the lockdown, the food was fabulous as usual. The only complaint is the poster in the window has the wrong telephone number

We visited on Nov 11th for my mothers 70th birthday, Wow what excellent food and a lovely atmosphere, We will definitely without doubt be returning. The food was served in excellent time and any adjustments we requested were carried out to perfection. Thankyou

No messing about here. Top service, great food and excellent value. Lovely crispy garlic bread. Delicious risotto and a damn fine pizza. And just when I didn't think it could get better, a creme brulee turned up with strawberries. Highly recommended.

We visit Amaros a couple of times a month. The staff are getting to know us now. The food is exceptional and the staff are superb Thankyou Amaro

I took my parents who have been quite nervous about going out since shielding from Covid. The meal was great, as was the service. Everyone was attentive and the facilities were excellent. My mum is looking forward to going again. Brilliantly placed for dinner before the Opera House.

Excellent food. We booked a table knowing how busy it would be. Our 2nd visit on a night away. Food again excellent pasta dishes & garlic bread. House wine (Bottle) good value & tasted nice

Went for a birthday meal with my family. Booked the restaurant after reading serval good reviews. I have to admit the food was good for an Italian but that is where I am afraid it ended for me...found it overpriced..potions on the smallish side my pasta dish containing only three to four bits of broken sausage, if we hadn't order extra sides would have been still starving. Desert was a tiramasu which tasted nice but contained a small piece of plastic.when this was mentioned to staff he identified the item as plastic and threw it on the floor without a second thought no apology no thought of anything else. I have eaten in many blackpool restaurants over the 7 years we have been coming and I have to say this is one I won't be returning to or recommending to any of my friends or people who read my notes. I would put this experience almost as bad as my experience in Poulton le fylde a few years ago and another poor Italian. After enjoy recently some great Italians in my home town sadly to see thus appear something blackpool needs to improve on vastly.

Excellent food and atmosphere lovely. Great tasting high quality Italian food and would definitely come back. Would be good if they did a kids menu though.

Beautiful food lovely staff. Been there several times, nothings too much trouble. make you feel very welcome as returning customers. good specials board and good size portions for normal size eaters!
