“ If you're in the mood for a timeless Detroit dining experience that balances charm, flavor, and hospitality, Amore de Roma delivers. Nestled in the historic Eastern Market district, this restaurant is a throwback in all the right ways. From the vintage decor and cozy ambiance to the welcoming staff who treat you like family, the vibe is old-school, warm, and full of character. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It came with a side of marinara that had a fresh, herby kick—definitely made in-house. For the main course, we chose the seafood pasta, a generous plate loaded with mussels, shrimp, and scallops, all soaked in a rich tomato garlic sauce that tasted like it came straight out of Nonna’s kitchen. The pasta was cooked just right, and the seafood was fresh and flavorful. Service was impressive—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. The staff moved efficiently and made sure water glasses stayed full and needs were met without needing to be asked twice. The restaurant is quaint, and while the atmosphere is charming, the restrooms are comically tiny—worth a chuckle, but definitely a tight squeeze. That said, it’s a small price to pay for the overall experience. Portions are satisfying, prices are fair, and there’s plenty of parking, which is a rarity in the area and a huge plus. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a comforting Italian meal with friends, Amore de Roma is a solid bet. Final verdict: Great food, great service, classic atmosphere. Just don’t expect a spacious bathroom. Highly recommend. ”
“ Went to Eastern market today and saw this spot on Google search for a place to eat for lunch and decided to try it. Service, food and people were all super awesome. The place has an old world feel to it. I will definitely come back! ”
“ My father in law was a chef there back in the day for 30 years. Meal was fabulous. Its sad that not many people were in there. Should advertise more to get more patrons into this historical resturant. ”
“ 1st time coming here. wish I would have known about this place before now.. So glad seen it on a TikTok video. We will definitely be back again . Chicken Parm and House salad was very good . only issue we had was found out after they had a Specials Sheet and we never seen it or was told about . my wife would have definitely had the fish Special .. but next time will make sure we ask I guess to make sure we see it.. ”
“ Decided to check out the oldest restaurant in Detroit, Amore Da Roma. We made reservations for 6pm although we were running a little late due to weather and poor planning on our end. They were super understanding and assured us it was not a problem. The service here is absolutely outstanding! I could not have asked for better hospitality, and Tommy was our amazing server. Everyone here makes you feel so welcome and at home. Walking in you feel like you stepped back in time. It was simple and cozy. You can’t go wrong with any of their cocktails, I had a Manhattan, and everyone including myself enjoyed their drinks. Prior to our entrees, we all started off with some of the best Minestrone and Roasted Red Pepper Soup I’ve ever had personally. I decided on the Filet Minion cooked rare, the Lamb Chops cooked medium and Parmesan Encrusted Salmon were ordered by the two next to me which made it very easy to sneak a bite or two of each. The Filet was cooked perfectly, and was solid. No complaints here. The Lamb Chops that my friend ordered medium ended up coming out well done. Our waiter Tommy gave no fuss about it and brought out a new order which was then cooked perfectly, and was delicious! Things happen and hopefully someone in the kitchen got to enjoy the previous plate. The Salmon was huge and very delicious as well. Ordered but not pictured are the Lasagna and Veal Parmesan. Those were the two that really stole the show. The Lasagna was so so so cheesy and the red sauce was to die for! The Veal Parmesan will more than likely be my order next time, absolutely outstanding. We all got a side of Fettuccine Alfredo which was also some of the best I’ve had. It was safe to say we were all way too full for dessert, starting off with a generous serving of complimentary bread and butter is just as much a blessing as it is a curse. Overall between the history, the service, and the food, this place will definitely be added on to rotation. Thank you so much Amore Da Roma for an amazing night! ”
“ I went here recently with my sister. Had a wonderful meal. Vegetarian friendly options. Was filled up with the appetizers alone! Also drank a glass of wine. One thing to note is that my server was noteworthy and memorable. If you come here, ask for Blair! One of the best servers I have ever had. He was on top of our orders and checked in on us when appropriate. Even made the time to get to know us. Thank you server Blair,! We love Roma and can't wait to go back! ”
“ We went here for a meal after seeing a show at the Fisher with a large group. I was really pleased with the food and our server Sam was so sweet, along with the staff supporting him. You have to have the tiramisu! ”
“ WOW! What a pleasant surprise. Just spotted Amore da Roma as an option close to Air B&B and found Italian authenticity. From greeting by KJ to every interaction with Matt, we felt served. I like plain ole Italian. The minestrone & chicken noodle with sage soups were flavorful & distinct. I asked for anchovies with my puttanesca sauce & got just enough. Don't know the name of other side pasta that was special with peas, prosciutto, creamy cheese sauce, but it was spectacular. We have lived in Chicago, Boston, Providence, Bronx, and Amore da Roma could compete anywhere. ”
