A small, central Roman restaurant with particularly strong pasta, seafood and welcoming service, though pizza, seasoning and occasional service lapses make ordering selectively worthwhile.
That's Amore delivers solid food quality anchored by reliably praised pasta, seafood, and tiramisu, supported by knowledgeable, attentive service in a conveniently located Trevi-area setting. Inconsistency in pizza and occasional seafood execution prevents a stronger grade, though core dishes remain dependable. The restaurant offers genuine Roman hospitality and fair value, making it a trustworthy choice for traditional Italian dining.
Tucked behind an unassuming entrance on a busy central-Rome circuit, That's Amore is a small, lively dining room where Italian music, framed photographs and warm greetings create a more welcoming interior than the street frontage suggests. One diner summed up the appeal as a quiet escape from tourist bustle, while repeat visitors repeatedly mention friendly staff who remember guests and recommend dishes. Dinner can fill the compact room quickly, so spontaneity is easier earlier in the day. The kitchen is strongest when it sticks to Roman and Italian comfort classics: carbonara, cacio e pepe, lasagna, seafood pasta, truffle-and-porcini fettuccine and tiramisu dominate the praise. The menu is traditional rather than experimental, with a broad range that also includes pizza, meat, seafood and vegetarian dishes. Pizza receives noticeably more mixed feedback than the pasta, and isolated diners report blandness, excessive salt or disappointing seafood, so the most reliable strategy is to follow the pasta recommendations rather than treat every section of the menu equally. Families should find plenty to work with: lasagna, Alfredo, meatballs, fries, familiar pizzas, gelato and tiramisu are all approachable choices, and the menu includes numerous vegetarian options. There is no dedicated children's menu shown, and the compact, sometimes noisy room may be less relaxing with small children during the dinner rush, but the food range makes this a practical family stop.
