Anonymous: This place is closed dude. And it looks awfully tacky that you wrote this about the previous owners of such a neighborhood staple

Amore Victoria offers decent Italian food that is slightly overpriced for what it is. Best option is brunch.
If you patronize Amore Victoria, please know that ThriftyHipster is no longer on good terms because they had us do a bunch of work for them, used our work, and then refused to pay for the services. Since then, we've spoken to several vendors about them. For a company that pretends to be a "neighborhood place" they are surprisingly immoral about paying their service provides, especially small local businesses like ThriftyHipster.
I apologize to our users for this editorial, but we hope you will understand and support us by not patronizing this venue. We've of course had client issues before, which we've always been able to resolve acceptably. However, no one has ever been as disrespectful, rude, or irrational as the owners of Amore Victoria (and we're talking most clients are bar owners here, so this is saying something). If you support ThriftyHipster and our goal of being a complete and updated resource that helps you save money and find cool local things to do, please do NOT go here.
Instead, you should consider any number of superior options in the area:
Barbette, Republic, Bryant Lake Bowl, Lake and Irving, Tinto all support ThriftyHipster and are on Lake Street near Amore.
Of course, this rant is just our opinion based on the way we were treated by the ownership and the continual run-around, meetings they made us come to then didn't show up themselves at, and all they forced us to go through just to get paid for the work we did for them.

Tiza White: Want a thrifty tip... DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE. The food and service are sub-par, to say the least. We waited almost an hour for 4 watery cocktails ($10/each), a pizza and a salad. The server was MIA most of the time and then double-charged our credit cards (shouldn't be that hard to split a tab 3 ways, especially since we did the math for her). You'd be better off buying a frozen pizza (their's was like DiGiorno) and making drinks at home.

Anonymous: We went for a nice date night and I have to say the atmosphere, food, and service were truly excellent. It's a small place with a cozy atmosphere. We even got a tour of the wine cellar. Definitely give it a try!

Anonymous: We got there at 6:15 yesterday and were told the happy hour table were full (all 5 of them) so we could do the full priced menu. We felt tricked and we wasted 4$ parking for no reason.

Unknown: Amore Victoria is fun. Bottom line, it's a great upscale nieghborhood joint in uptown. It's got a divey personality and chillness with none of the divey decor. Top notch fun place all the time. In the bar area, happy hour is almost always a constant and the specialty drinks are absolutely amazing.
