AMOR is a place to meet, in the typical conviviality of ancient Rome. Our idea sees the meeting of the gastronomic culture of ancient times, with the evolution of modern taste starting from the genuine flavors of one of the most loved cuisines in the world: Italian cuisine.For the ancient Romans, the banquet dinner, which lasted until late at night, was the most important meal of the day.All five senses were involved: in addition to seeing, touching and tasting, there was speaking and listening.If the ceremony culminated in the sharing of meat, the spectacularity was guaranteed by dances, music and theatrical scenes.Our proposal is inspired by the tradition of the ancient Banquet, inviting guests to live a new experience, savoring the pleasure of food and traditions of the past.

    I loved everything about Oui Madame. The food and wine was delicious and the service was great. Charming servers and lovely, relaxed ambience. Delightful, cosy setting. I appreciated that they had really good vegan options as an integral to the menu. So refreshing not to have to ask specially and/or end up with a default, uninspired vegan offering. We also appreciated not being rushed and the absence of loud music. Just great food, wine and conversation. Perfection. Chef's Kiss!

    It was a quiet Tuesday night otherwise I’m sure I’d have given the ambience 5 stars. The staff were lovely and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend!
