Amore Uptown

If you’re looking for affordable vino, authentic pasta dishes, and an off-street escape in the heart of Uptown, it’s definitely Amore. The charming second-story rooftop is relaxed and casual, with traffic whizzing by and lake Bde Maka Ska just down the street. Wines run the gamut from the quality house white and red (from Tuscany, not California) to $100 Italian bottles. Antipasto includes caprese, bruschetta and calamari, or skip the starters and go straight for the Uptown Bolognese with fresh rigatoni.
