Amore Restaurant in Basingstoke and Deane - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Portion sizes got smaller and price increased. Sorry but won't return. My food was cold but they did provide me with another portion that was smaller than the first.

On my way back to bristol from basingstoke, I stopped by Amore in Overton, and i had a very good afternoon. The food here is amazing, the staff are very professional and welcoming. I will be back in the future to try some more of their tasty food.

Group of 6 went for an evening meal. Food was good but service was appalling. It was as if none of them had any training in how to serve customers! Once sat down we wrongly assumed someone would take a drinks order but no. It was as if the staff were avoiding eye contact with us to avoid having to serve us. Gents toilet had clearly not been properly cleaned for a long time . We won't be returning any time soon.

Lovely restaurant for a relaxed meal. This was our first visit and we went for a birthday meal. The staff were attentive but there was no rushing. We had plenty of room although the restaurant felt cosy. We were a party of 6 and we all enjoyed our meals, which were fresh, hot and tasty.

Second year running I celebrated my birthday with family & friends at Amore. The ambiance as expected is very warm & welcoming with a fantastic team that greet you at the entrance. Freshly prepared food with great flavour furthermore cooked to perfection and presented well. The staff are truly amazing, making every effort to cater to the needs of guests. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be visiting again soon. Thank you Vicky x

The food was very nice and excellent service I will be back alex its the best waitress . I really like this restaurant, I recommend you to try its food and service

Very disappointing. After reading the reviews we chose this restaurant to celebrate my father’s birthday. Unfortunately the meal and service wasn’t as expected. We ordered 3 steaks and my wife ordered a cannelloni. The Cannelloni was dry and bland and was not what you would expect from an Italian restaurant. All the steak meals were cold and one of the steaks was very fatty with hardly any meat. The service was inconsistent. The female server was lovely however the younger gentleman seemed very arrogant and didn’t really feel like her wanted to be there. All in all a very disappointing evening and we will not be returning. Such a shame

I stopped off for lunch (only 4 miles from the A303), down a country road. A set lunch (2 course) for a very reasonable price, in a pleasant restaurant. I don't think they have had a solo diner for a while, judging by the way the chef had a peek!🤓. Not difficult to park (on the day I dined).

I had booked for four of us but two ladies were ill. Two of us had the set lunch for £12.95. We both chose lasagne as our main course. It was delicious - maybe the best I’ve ever had. We followed that with panacotta with a fruit purée on top. Very delicious. Compared to a pub lunch a few days ago which was more expensive the food at Amore was well cooked, presented beautifully and we didn’t wait long. The service is excellent and the restaurant was cosy. The set lunch price is so reasonable too. I shall certainly return.

We organised lunch at Amore last Saturday for a large (20+ people) group. We can't speak highly enough of how helpful the staff were during the pre-booking of the menu choices, nor how attentive, friendly and helpful they were on the day. To top it all off the food was delicious, plentiful and quickly delivered. This was not our first visit, and probably won't be our last. Highly recommended.

Had a very enjoyable meal . Lovely environment with good range of meals to choose from. Friendly and welcoming staff who provided an efficient service and the food was delicious. Intererestingly following a recent visit to another establishment in Overton where an automatic uplift of 12.5% is applied for, at best, indifferent service - it isnt the case with Amore which is refreshing. You therefore feel able to think about and value the service element and pay accordingly rather than feeling ripped off and resentful in being automatically charged. Definitely recommend for anyone seeking an excellent Italian restaurant that offers excellent value.

Food is exquisite, service is always amazing never had a bad experience. Cocktails are delicious too

I have visited Amore many times and it has been fantastic every time. It never disappoints! The staff are lovely and attentive. Every dish we've tried has been very tasty. Highly recommend.

This is the best Italian food I ever tried in the UK.On a Friday evening we were a big group and couldn’t fault anything really!Staff were very friendly and attentive to accommodate our big group needs!Food was served piping hot and all 24 of us enjoyed it!Good selection of wines and beautiful atmosphere!We will definitely be back and recommend this gem.Grazie Amore

I’ve been there with my family for a birthday party and the food was absolutely delicious, the service was top,very attentive staff, we will definitely coming back

I've been to Amore a couple of times and it's been OK....I live in Oakley and frankly there's not that much around that's decent and local so decided to go back again this week. I don't know what was going on that night but I can honestly say I can't remember the last time I had such bad service. We were seated in the front - just 2 of us thankfully by the radiator. We were given menus and left to it. No one asked us if we wanted any water. We were left sitting there for absolutely ages before I had to ask the waiter if we could get some drinks. Drinks arrived and again we were just left there. Had to ask to order the food. There only seemed to be 2 guys on that night but one was at the bar just feet away from us - so busy cleaning glasses that he had no idea we were just sitting and waiting. Finally the food came which was fine. And then nothing. For about half an hour absolutely nothing. The guy at the bar made himself a meal and sat down feet away and ate it. No one around. I was tempted to just walk out but would never do that. No one asked us if we wanted dessert or coffee/tea...when we came to leave the other guy was in the back cleaning tables.....WTF? I complained and the service was taken off the bill. They just don't get it. As I say - not sure what was happening that night but it was appalling. Won't go back. Just complacent and ignorant of the concept of service. Has the financial hit of Covid taught them nothing about keeping a loyal client base? Extraordinary.

It was ok. Evening meal. A bit cold. Radiators weren’t on (a cold frosty night). Main courses were good. Risotto very good. Starters average. Desserts …. 😬 the brownies were like rubber! Tiramisu, nothing special. So yeah, ok, but not somewhere I’d recommend as being amazing

We visit here fairly regularly as we live locally and we've always had a good experience (see my other reviews!). This evening was no exception, a busy Saturday service, but greeted and seated in no time. Drinks brought promptly. Partner chose the Funghi Aglio and I had the Bianchetti, plenty of breaded white bait with tartare sauce, both very good starters. My partner's main of Risotto Amore was very good with lots if large and tasty prawns. My Pizza Piccante was excellent. No room for desserts unfortunately. Friendly and engaging staff, nice atmosphere and good honest Italian cuisine.

Had a lovely relaxed lunch at Amore today. Our choices were taken from the set lunch menu and were delicious. Thank you Alexander for looking after us today.

Late Saturday afternoon on a stormy day. Welcomed warmly and soon served our drinks. My starter of Funghi All'Aglio, (pan fried button mushrooms with garlic butter, white wine with fresh herbs and home made bread was perfect and not too heavy, nice and hot too. My partner's Caprese (vine ripened tomatoes with buffalo mozzarella, basil and olive oil was also deemed excellent. Our guest had Bruschetta Alla Romana, again all fresh ingredients. My main of Piccante pizza was first class, generous toppings, well cooked and lots of flavour from the peperoni and chilli oil. Partner's Risotto Al Funghi was well recieved, Arborio rice perfectly cooked with garlic white wine and parmesan. Our guest had Carbonara, very good. No dessert for me but a Tiramisu was shared by my partner and guest and greatly enjoyed. Rounded off by a Latte and I had a beer. Gratuity optional (pick your own percentage). All came to less than £100, good value for good food and service in our local high street.

Booked last minute yesterday for a table for 4 last night and so pleased we were able to get a table in this lovely restaurant. The staff, service and food were all amazing. It was our first visit here & certainly won’t be our last....

Considering this was lunch time the restaurant was incredibly dark and very hot. The doors leading to the garden could have been opened. Service was brusk and very slow, in fairness to the server she was the only one on duty. There was a clear...

Not only were the staff inattentive, the food was mediocre. The best part of our meal was the mock tail.

This restaurant was recommended by a very experienced restaurateur who had dined here recently. We are so grateful for the recommendation as what a delightful place. We dined tonight and the food was fabulous but even more so the team were so attentive and passionate...

Three of us for a Father's Day lunchtime treat. Seated promptly, drinks order taken and delivered in double quick time. Starters of Salad Caprese Funghi Aglio and garlic bread with cheese all excellent, hot and generous portions, especially the garlic bread which is enough for...

Great food!! But waited 20mins from sitting to be asked for drinks, then I had to ask where our drinks were after another 15mins . But other than that lovely venue and good grub!

Myself & friends walked into the restaurant and was greeted by members of staff, first impressions was great. We had the area booked outside for my birthday, absolutely beautiful spot with ample room furthermore the atmosphere was so relaxing and Beautiful. The food is definitely...

We visited for a family celebration after having a great experience here previously. This visit wasn't as good unfortunately. The staff didn't make us feel particularly welcome and didn't have the friendly attentiveness we received on our previous visit. One member of the waiting staff...

Absolutely beautiful restaurant, amazing staff and delicious food ! Would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Lovely restaurant. Food was excellent, service excellent and a very good set priced lunch menu. The restaurant was lovely and bigger than it seemed from the frontage. We plan to go back for an evening meal. Will be recommending to friends and suggesting Amore as...

We have been to Amore a few times. We were disappointed with our last visit about a year ago, but decided to give it another go. I asked them if they could replace the bread in my starter with a handful of salad - the...

Food was delicious, service was very good and we were pleasantly surprised when we got the bill, it was reasonably priced too. This was our first visit but we’ll definitely be back. Only downside was finding a parking space nearby was a bit of a...

A romantic night out with my beautiful wife 😍 We eat here every now and then. It's a little more expensive than other options in the village, but is certainly worth the money. We have always found the staff to be very attentive and reliable...

What a great Sunday evening! Loved the staff and the overall customer service experience. Staff took time out to chat. Felt like a proper old school family friendly business. Food was freshly prepared and on point. Would recommend and return very soon. Wine, Spag Bol,...

Great service, very attentive without feeling rushed. Food was great, portion sizes were good as well. Overall a lovely meal and great value for money in the current climate. We'll definitely be back for more.

Not great this time unsure if we will return. It was our 2nd anniversary and we had been the year before for our first and we had a lovely time. This time was not good for the most part. Service was okay but food was...

Came in and was greeted with a friendly face! He was so kind and altered my food to how I like it. I ordered a risotto with prawns. It was amazing! Still piping hot when I got home and full of flavour. Would definitely come...

Amazing service and food, been a few days ago with my family, it was very busy and it was impressive how the service and food has been Looking forward to seeing you back soon

We visited the restaurant as an inter-generational family of five. It was a birthday treat for two of our party. We ordered a couple of starters to share and all ordered pasta for our main courses. The starters arrived in a timely fashion but we...

To be completely fair the food was good but the service was shocking.sat down at 7;30 drinks order was collected about 7;45 and arrive about 8pm when we ordered food. Two of9 starters turn up at 8;25 we complain another 5 cakes out only to...

My family and I have an extremely delicious meal. The service was perfect and the ambience was warm and cozy. We will definitely come again very soon.

Visited today for Father's Day so very busy. 5 of us in total and seated comfortably in the window area. Lovely bottle of Montepulciano plus a Moretti beer for me. My Funghi Aglio was delicious and the other starters chosen of Calamari, bread and olives...

Came for my daughter’s 16th birthday celebration The decor of the restaurant is very nice and skandia. We booked a table for 10 and when we arrived there was one table of 4 in the front and another table of 6 already seated. The service...

The food and service were excellent. The restaurant noise levels were quite high at times which was not a criticism but it could be a problem for some.

Beautiful food. Staff friendly. Only criticism it was like a sauna. Heating was on we had to switch it off next to us. Still very warm as think all other radiators were on full.

Took my father in law here for his birthday and all of loved it, the food was beautiful service good and definitely a place to enjoy special occasions

Excellent pizza, very large with generous toppings. Partner's salmon also very good. My starter of calamari was perfect and my partner enjoyed her mushroom dish although she would have liked it to be a bit more garlicky. Unhurried service, good drinks selection. Italian authentic trattoria...

Great food and service, pizza was lovely a generous large dinner plate size with fresh toppings, pork was very tasty, definately coming again

We had a delicious meal and dessert. The service was fantastic, helpful staff when choosing food options. The restaurant was busy but didn’t effect the service we were never waiting long for drinks or food. Cannot recommend enough.

Arrived late without a booking, we were accommodated and made to feel welcome even though the restaurant was busy. Great atmosphere, attentive staff, delicious food. We will be returning. Highly recommend.

Brilliant service, lovely layout the food was amazing too! Very varied menu and they were able to meet out gluten free needs too. The bathrooms need a little TLC but other than that everything was lovely. Great food and atmosphere, good prices too

Been here a few times now and never had a bad meal. Lovely location in Overton, gorgeous interior, lovely staff and amazing food. It truly is a gem of a place to visit.

We were a group of 4 friends that ate on New years Eve - the service was friendly, and efficient. The menu was very dated as was the presentation of the food. The starters were all average, but the lamb shank main course was poor...

Visited on 3rd January. Friendly and cosy atmosphere, and the food and service were excellent. The Greek waitress (sorry, we didn't catch her name) was very polite and more than deserved her tip. We can recommend the Mussels and Frittura Mista (starters) and Carbonara and...

This is a charming restaurant in a charming, rural, north Hampshire village. However, if the quality of food was to the same standard of ambience and service we would give it a 5 star. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. This is our second visit in 12 months...

Beautiful interior and food! Definitely a place you could dress up for. Reason why 4 stars and not 5, is the fact we felt a little forgotten. Our table was at the back near the door and we did have to keep flagging staff down...

A new place for us. The menu was great and the food did not disappoint. Starters were really good. Authentic and indeed very tasty. Service was excellent

Had a Friday night meal, was busy but not crowded. Lovely venue, staff were polite, helpful and lovely, service was good and food was delicious. Lovely restaurant for such a wee village

5 of us dined a 6pm Saturday for a birthday celebration, unfortunately on this occasion the food was sub standard and frankly unacceptably poor. I had ordered the lamb shank in red wine sauce, this was not what was served to me, the red wine...

I am so glad to have found this lovely restaurant. I usually spend a lot of time in Italy so it was great to find such an authentic taste of Italy so close to home. All the starters were excellent. The antipasto alla Italiana was...

Had a really lovely evening celebrating my birthday with my husband and niece. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were all very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The food was excellent and very tasty - portion sizes very generous! Will definitely return.

The place was lush, and we were pleasantly surprised by these gorgeous restaurant. It was the perfect romantic gateway for us. The only downside was the placement of our table. We were put right in this little corridor section, where people/staff were constantly moving. The...

Went for dinner with my daughter for her 25th Birthday. I was excited to try this place and it was our first ever visit. We were lucky to be offered the bay window table which was nice. The restaurant is beautiful inside, very clean and...

This place is a real gem. Excellent menu, beautifully presented food, attentive service and great value. However, when you are given a dish of pasta as good as this you don't want to waste any of the sauce so why is there not a small...

We had decided to take a small trip out on a Monday evening to go to the Indian in Overton, this was closed, so we decided to check out the Italian Restaurant across the road. Well what a gem of a place, it looks small...
