Created by restaurateur Gino Iovino, owner of award-winning restaurant Girasole in Atlantic City, in partnership with Michelin Starred Chef Cosimo Cassano and Franco Ricatti, Amare’s expansive menu includes classic dishes made in-house with seasonal ingredients flown directly from Italy. Amare’s design pays homage to its Amalfi coast roots, with a main dining room awash in azure, white and coral hues inspired by the Bay of Naples, paired with authentic design elements including intricate, hand-painted ceramic tiles flown in from Naples. The restaurant welcomes guests from early morning, when a la carte homemade pastries and coffee beverages are available, to late night. Under the direction of Chef Cassano, Amare’s menu stays true to the time-honored dishes found throughout the small towns and villages along the Italian coastline. Fresh, seasonal ingredients are highlighted in Amare’s carpaccio and tartar selections, salads, artisanal pasta dishes, and entrees from both land and sea.
