Amore Mio in Cotswold

The food was so delicious and the staff were so helpful and friendly! Would definitely recommend the tiramisu dessert!

We called into Amore Mio as a party of seven ex uni friends and partners who were staying at the nearby Corinium Hotel a few minutes walk away. One of the party had eaten here before and so had booked a table for us all and we were not disappointed by the quality of the food, service and surroundings. Well worth a visit. I went for the sliced pork in a creamy white wine sauce which was delicious. My wife went for the linguine with prawns which was also excellent. Topped the meal off with a tasty helping of Italian ice cream with “branded” wafer biscuit!

Excellent food and service as usual. This is our restaurant of choice if we want to eat out. Would recommend booking a table as it can be quite busy. Online booking on website is very easy to use.

Very friendly and hard working staff. Nice ambiance and delicious food served. Located In the heart of Cirencester, so easy access. People often say you get what you pay for… I think it was great value

Really annoyed that it's not cheap to eat there yet we were counting the minutes. Booted out with a box to finish dinner. We ate as quick as we got served. It's one thing that I forgot and now remember why I didn't go a second time. Food tastes good but you are literally not there to chill. We had to finish pizza off in the high street. I didn't want to pay the service charge, it wasn't a good experience

Everything was great! Food, atmosphere and service!

Tried this place after many years and was impressed by the updated interior and lovely food and great service. Would definitely recommend.

Very good Italian restaurant in the Cotswolds! The food is authentic and the service is brilliant.

We had the most delicious Italian food that we have ever had here tonight! The staff are helpful and friendly and the food is divine! We highly recommend!

I enjoyed the food, bread and wine. the service was fantastic.

I wasn’t sure whether I was in Rome, Naples, Florence or Cirencester. Incredible!

Food was delicious! Definitely going to be heading back.

The service , cleanliness and hospitality was top notch, the staff were individually pleasant and respectful. Watching the staff clean every table, and seats, top and bottom, was the cleanest environment I’ve ever experienced. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Authentic and delicious Italian food by a family run restaurant. No hesitation in recommending.

Great service, lovely restaurant and fabulous, friendly staff.

Great food,wine and service at a good price

Something wasn’t quite right sadly. Slight arrogance attitude undertone. My steak was very disappointing and couldn’t eat it. Shame as the experience initially had promise.

A wonderful evening spent at Amore Mio. Thank you all for making a 60th Anniversary Celebration meal extra special and the.food was divine. The Hembrow Clan xx

My wife had arranged a last minute online reservation for an outside table - apparently within "the courtyard garden" - in the restaurants defence they did contact us shortly after the booking, however when we arrived there was a table that was essentially in the car park! Completely misleading booking, and inappropriate for a more expensive looking restaurant. --- Updated after response from the restaurant I am rather disappointed that rather than actually considering a review on it's merit and wondering where the description of "courtyard garden" came from (we would have not collectively made it up), the response described our plan to eat outside as "odd" (11 degrees is not that cold - wear a jacket?), and made a baseless claim of miscommunication between myself and my wife. So I naturally have reconsidered my review and have changed this rating from 2 stars to 1 star given the inappropriate response to the initial review. I am not going to make further changes to this review or reply to any further comments, however I would urge the restaurant to actually review the process that led to this issue rather than trying to land the blame on a customer.

Our favourite place in town. Consistently good service and great food!

I brought my wife to Amore Mio to celebrate a milestone birthday and we were VERY happy with this choice! The staff were excellent, as weel as the food, and to top off the dinner, they played "Happy Birthday" over the music system, and got the rest of the customers to join them in singing Happy Birthday to my wife while presenting her with some of their famous gelato topped with a candle. Plus, they had Italian music playing as the background music, which too many ethnic restaurants don't do and that always takes away from the mood & feel for what they are serving and the authenticity of their cuisine. Amore Mio NAILED in ALL categories for us - Thank you!

Gorgeous food, as always, fabulous staff. Always a pleasure, always look forward to our visits. Great atmosphere. Thank you

Really enjoyable lunch. The wide variety of dishes on offer made it difficult to decide what to choose. DSucj a nice problem to have! The chicken in lemon sauce was really tasty. This was our first visit but it will not be the last.

Date night meal, a present from sister and brother- in- law. We were very impressed with our first visit. The welcome, the menu and wine selections were all excellent. The quality of the food served was perfect, along with the efficient and friendly service. It was obvious all the staff worked as a team and were passionate about their roles in the restaurant.

Delicious food and service is excellent. Lovely little restaurant with very attentive staff and a great atmosphere. Second time we've been and enjoyed it both times

Lovely place to have lunch. Great food and very attentive service. Thank you, Amore Mio

Fantastic meal- best seafood risotto I have ever had. Really great service. Really love this place and wish they would open a restaurant in Cardiff!

Excellent food in a warm am friendly atmosphere. Can't fault anything

A lovely restaurant with authentic Italian food

Great evening with delicious food in large quantities and great selection of wine. What more could you ask for. Thank you very much.

So glad we found this place on our trip to Cirencester. The staff were brilliant and very attentive and the food was delicious

We went for lunch with friends to Amore mio, 10/10 for service, food and atmosphere. Restaurant was spotlessly clean. The were lovely. We will be back xxx

Lovely food and atmosphere. Staff were also really friendly. Would highly recommend.

Good food and very friendly staff. The pudding was amazing.

What an amazing Italian restaurant!!!! Food was incredible, I think the best goats cheese pizza I’ve had. Really friendly service as well. Beautiful decor in the restaurant it had a really nice vibe. We’ll definitely be back!

Sorry, cannot recommend this restaurant. Overpriced dishes and poor quality ingredients. Frozen vegetables in risotto. We counted 21 discs of carrots and a dessert spoon of sweetcorn. For £19.50 we expected fresh, seasonal vegetables. Waiter told us this was their standard, year-round recipe. We discovered a much nicer Italian on high street which we wish we'd gone to instead.

Overcharging for a vegan pizza, and vegan cheese in the 21st century not having one on the menu, that's why the place was empty on a Friday evening.

A wonderful find! Welcoming, attentive service and amazing food. Never been to Cirencester before but Amore Mio is the perfect excuse to come back.

I really appreciate their policy of no children under 12 for bookings after 6pm. This allows a lovely calm, adult atmosphere for evening dining.

They really care about what they do. Great food and atmosphere and good wines!

Cracking little restaurant. Great wine selection, wonderful service. Food was simple and tasty. We both had a lovely lunch.

Excellent menu and wine list. Staff were super friendly and professional. The restaurant had a lovely ambiance. I would Heartily recommend

Beautiful food, excellent service, nice wines, relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Nothing not to like. Highly recommended

This is by far the greatest Italian restaurant I have ever dined at! The food is phenomenal every. single. time. They never miss! Have tried a variety of red wines and all have been exquisite! The staff are so friendly and personable - always dine at my favourite table (prepared for me prior of course), a purely kind bunch and would recommend this restaurant to absolutely anybody. Thank you for a great experience every time guys!

Another splendid lunch - sadly we were the only customers- but it was a Tuesday in January. Wonderful service- we will definitely be back.

Went there for my sister`s Birthday party. What a great little place!!! Food was lovely, staff was very friendly and fantastic atmosphere. Thanks guys, we definitely will be back.

Great pizzas, full of flavour and the bases were cooked absolutely perfectly 👌 Will be back and will plan so we can get a table in this very popular restaurant 😁👍

To start the staff are very friendly and the restaurant has a great ambiance. The service is fantastic from the minute you walk in through the door. The food was delicious, we were a large group and no one had anything bad to say regarding the food. The only thing I wish was the portion size was slightly larger only because their food is so delicious. A must visit, keep up the good work.

What an absolute disaster of a dining experience. First off, the food was mid at best—completely uninspired, bland, and tasteless. It felt like it was slapped together without any care or effort. For the outrageous prices they charge, I expected something at least halfway decent, but no—this was highway robbery disguised as a restaurant. You’d be better off eating a gas station sandwich than wasting your money here. The service was just as bad, if not worse. The waiters were rude, dismissive, and downright unpleasant. It was as if they went out of their way to make the experience miserable. When we asked simple questions about the menu, they acted like we were inconveniencing them. And don’t even get me started on the attitude—they served up more sass than food. The atmosphere didn’t help either. The place was loud, cramped, and poorly lit, making it feel more like a sad cafeteria than a proper dining establishment. Not to mention, the wait time for our meal was absurdly long. For food that tasted like it came out of a microwave, I can’t fathom why it took so long to arrive. By the time I left, I felt completely ripped off and annoyed. This place is an overpriced joke, and I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs—you’ll thank me later.

Great friendly service the prawn risotto was devine.

Always a great meal and experience in Amore Mio! Staff are friendly, efficient and always go the extra mile. Would wholeheartedly recommend particularly for a special occasion.

Very tasty food, friendly and accommodating staff. Great service. Good value.

Been quite a few times now.. I am consistently impressed by the team, service and the food. Pasta pizza or something more traditional.. just great! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Made our one year old very welcome and interacted with her throughout the entire meal! Great service

Another fantastic visit. Food and atmosphere amazing as always.

Awful Experience – Discrimination Against Families! I am absolutely appalled by the treatment we received at Amore Mio. My family and I arrived excited for a lovely dinner, only to be told that children are not allowed after 6pm. What kind of establishment bans families in such a blatant and discriminatory way? This is supposed to be a welcoming place, but instead, we were made to feel like second-class citizens. It’s 2024—excluding children is not just outdated, it’s downright rude. Restaurants should be about bringing people together, not driving them away with such ridiculous policies. There was no clear signage or information about this rule on their website, and we were left standing awkwardly while staff refused to accommodate us. Their attitude was cold and dismissive, and it was clear they had no interest in even trying to offer an alternative solution. If you value inclusivity, kindness, or basic decency, avoid this place at all costs. They clearly don’t care about families or creating a positive dining experience for everyone. Zero stars if I could.

Service charge added to the bill without telling you - you have to ask them to remove it from the total if you don’t want to pay the extra 10%. That’s unethical. Other than that, the food was fantastic.

Lovely meal, great service, nice atmosphere. Recommend the garlic bread!

Lovely meal and service. Authentic Italian.

Food looks beautiful and is full of extra taste. A wide interesting menu.

Great place! Very, very friendly and helpful staff. Great food. Excellent location and excellent service. Thank you very much. We have had great evening. Always will consider for dinner and the partys!!!

Lovely food, great service and overall highly recommended. Delicious! Thank you very much.

Beautiful place, friendly atmosphere, great food. Thank you!

The best pizza and tiramasu I've had this year.

As we were such a large group we were requested to pre-order. The communication with them was easy despite several changes to the booking. On the day the service was excellent and the food was spot on. Thank you to all the staff working today ☺️

Really excellent pizzas. Delicious sourdough bases, beautifully cooked.

Food was ok. They used cheap ingredients, for expensively priced food. Will not be going back there. Staff were friendly.

Great visit, service was excellent. Food selection and quality was very good. Prawn starter was especially yummy. We will be visiting again!

It’s the second time we dine at Amore Mio and we were as impressed as the first time. This is a first class genuine Italian restaurant, amazing food, service and spotless clean. We will definitely be back!

Cannot ever recommend this place enough! Always a warm welcome and very friendly helpful service! Amazing menu and the food is always so delicious! 10/10

Lovely food and great service. We were made to feel welcome and staff were very attentive. Restaurant had a nice ambience

Food and service were excellent. Sourdough based pizza and sea food linguine were spot on and highly recommend the home made ice cream.

Second visit, both occasions I would give 5 stars. Delicious food and great service.

If it wasn't for my date then I would have been eating alone

Fabulous food and service - faultless. A definite visit if you are in Cirencester

This is by far the BEST Italian restaurant my partner and I have ever been to, and we have been to quite a few! Lovely atmosphere, incredible service, super friendly and welcoming, they even hung our coats upon arrival. The menu has an incredible selection - I highly recommend the Camembert! The lasagne was also amazing. It was my birthday and they sang happy birthday, everyone in the restaurant joined in and it made me feel really special. Overall really welcoming and lovely experience, can’t reccomend enough. Gets 5 starts from me, will defo be returning! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent food. Highly recommend. Thank you

Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere.

Delicious meal, Genovese and Carbonarra and great advice on wine. Choc. Lava cake oozed well too! Staff attentive and helpful. Will be back.

Best Italian food I have ever eaten and I’ve been to Italy twice! Great service, will definitely be visiting many more times.

Great authentic sourdough pizza as well as wonderful service. I visited with my 12 year old son and he loved it…………………,.

Food quality was excellent. Great wine list, many choices by the glass and even more by bottle. Service was outstanding - they really cared about their guests.
