Amore Whitefield

Just a quick word on a Whitefield eatery that was new to me and, according to its nifty Customer/Dishes Served/Business Days website counter, relatively new in general. A modern Italian tucked away in the now increasingly trendy Greater Manchester suburb.

In a word - impressive. Very crisp, very clean and very modern in terms of interior decor and ambience, yet at the same time there was an intriguing feeling of warmth and cosiness too. Whilst Amore is not massive in size or scale - an immediate atmosphere hits you that is grand and all encompassing, whilst the place also makes you feel very individual and welcome too.

The menu itself reads quite simply and is not massive, but every single plate of food I saw looked stunning, and those I tasted were just as superb.
There is no doubt about it: the food is well and truly the main focus here. Superbly presented, brilliantly crafted and tasting not too far away from divine. Obviously Italian with a very nuanced and individual twist; the chef and his team are clearly very accomplished, wonderfully skilled and also I wager harbouring quite a controlled yet potent passion for what they do, or at least that is the impression I received.
My two dishes were sublime. Starting with Arancini (which I am normally quite a fan of anyway) which were filled with Parmesan and ragú and were stunningly and delectably delicious, this was then followed by a very pleasing and very well cooked chicken breast served with gnocchi and a hunter's sauce. But truly, there really was an array of dishes that would have surely been just as pleasing to eat, and I do intend on returning to sample a few of them.


My only minor niggle is that the staff, whilst pleasant, welcoming and accommodating, were a tad lacking in attentiveness, but I'm sure this will improve with time.
All in all I am extremely happy I have discovered and dined in Amore, and would highly recommend it to anyone wishing a new, different yet incredibly pleasing and delicious Italian experience.
