Pasta Amore Pizzeria Ristorante

A hidden gem in the Brentwood area! Fresh and authentic Italian food. Service was fast and friendly! So glad we finally found this place and will definitely be back to try more.I recommend you get a reservation as they have limited space I’m sure since they had to revamp things for Covid.

I went there last night for the first time and I was impressed. Nice cozy looking restaurant with great staff and excellent food. The pasta was delicious and so was the pizza. Much better than some other Italian restaurants I've been too. The tiramisu dessert was so good!

I never leave reviews and I am usually very lenient with bad quality food, but this was unbelievable... This is the first time I have ever left a dish untouched. We ordered this through Uber Eats because we saw that the reviews were pretty good. What Iwe received was, I'll use the word, disgusting.I did not feel safe eating the lasagna. I couldn't identify the pasta sheets because underneath a layer of grease and cheese was a mush that looked like leftovers piled together. Again, I am quite forgiving with bad food so I did give it a nibble to taste it, and it tasted old, bloated, and I am genuinely concerned that this was stuff at the bottom of a pot sitting in a sink replated and put in a microwave.The Vongole was not a Vongole, which is an oil and wine based sauce. What we received was bloated noodles swimming in a layer of grease, tomato sauce that was just like out of a can or something, and Manila clams that I was also afraid to eat because I didn't trust their freshness. The clam texture was also a little mushy so they clearly had been sitting around for a while.The pizza was the only thing we really ate, and that too was only because we were so hungry. This only reminded me that screwing up a pizza is really difficult... The (cold) ~10inch or something pizza was cut in 4 huge, irregular slices, which really just showed to us that whoever prepared the dish absolutely did not care about what he was putting out. Oh and instead of Calabrese, we got some sort of smoked ham.All in all, my wife and I only ate the pizza because we were way too hungry, and I am actually worried about what we've just put in our bodies. Whoever prepared the food (I refuse to call them cooks, having been one myself) clearly did not care or had just given up on the food and restaurant, and the quality makes me worry about how much, if at all, they are paying attention to food safety and hygiene. I might have forgiven the pizza and pasta, but the lasagna was what really made this unacceptable.I don't know what happened, because it seems a lot of people left great reviews of this place. Regardless, whether this restaurant was a good place previously, right now, I would aggressively turn people away from here. If the owner or chef is reading this (which I hope), please stop this, pay more attention, and respect your customers, your food, and your business.

No complimentary bread here. Service is slow at meal times. The air towards at the back of the restaurant is very stuffy.Food wise, the cream tomato sauce is pretty tasty and the shrimp amount is decent but not the freshest. The pizza dough is nice and chewy though the artichokes on the veggie pizza tastes canned.

We got takeout from this place! We ordered in store and the server was very friendly and attentive. We got the penne primavera (chef's kiss), the antipasto misto (packaged well, we enjoyed the selection), and half an order of garlic bread. Service was decently quick (they said 15min and they were punctual!) during dinner hours. I liked that there were ample parking spaces in the lot for customers. Can't wait to come back and try their dine-in experience ☺️

We went there to celebrate a birthday and gawd, we were treated like a royalty :-) Claudio, the owner personally attended to us and we didn't order our food ourselves but we trusted Claudio to just surprise us with his specialty, and he did!!! We had a variety of pasta dishes and they were all soooo good! We were a group of friends so we shared. It's lunch time when we dined there and it got really busy, it's smart to book a table or two ahead. The dishes were undoubtedly authentic Italian and they were so delicious!!! The celebrants also received very special yummy complementary desserts. If you are lucky, you can ask to buy a pasta sauce from Claudio :-) The location is not one of the trendiest, it is hidden among the car dealerships and industrial part of Lougheed/ Brentwood area. We have been dining here for multiple times now and we will be coming back for more.

All around great. Pretty pricey though. Ordered the Spaghetti Marinara, thoroughly enjoyed it. Care was definitely put into the dish. Serious fly problem though, understandably hard to regulate but important to note.

Found this gem recently and I found a go to place for pizza. With a friend, we had a gnocchi and Hawaiian pizza. The pesto gnocchi was rich and creamy. While we were having it the pizza came out and I enjoyed dipping the pizza into the pesto pasta sauce. The pizza was just right, not dry at all and very flavourful. One thing I liked the most was our server. The old guy was very friendly and kind. I enjoyed chatting with him.

Nice cozy shop hidden away between garages and construction businesses in the heart of brentwood.Nice decor, really cozy inside, pretty clean, there's a legit pizza oven in the back. The food is delicious and tasty, pasta is well made, not over or under cooked. The pizza is nice thin and crusty, the chef doesn't customize the pizza, you take it as is.Lots of parking in the parking lot, if not there are plenty of street parking around. Will definitely be back to try other things

Overall: Absolutely great experience!Food: Best pasta. Both Alfredo and Carbonara were amazing. Really, really great pizza.Service: One of the classiest service ever in Vancouver - felt like in Europe but still warm and friendly.Overall: If you want good pizza our pasta in a homey atmosphere this is the place to be.
