About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
An understated storefront hides a coveted skyline view—just one of the many ways you could underestimate this longtime cafe on Mount Baker’s main drag. The menu, the sign—even the name—are a bit of a throwback, but current owners Guy Devillier and David Hoefer took over in 2018 and keep things attuned to today. Carbonara packs more nuance than you might expect, the slightly crackly pizza’s better than it has to be, and the bar pours lambrusco and negroni. No wonder tables are loaded with a diversity of diners.

    It is always a joy to be back at That’s Amore with David and Guy! Lisa served us with grace. Then the food!! Everything we ordered was sublime. I especially recommend the Dungeness crab Pappardelle or the carbonara. Perfect place, perfect meal, perfect hosts. I’ll be back!!

    Such a wonderful experience. We were a group of eight celebrating a birthday, and Guy made us feel so welcome and genuinely celebrated. The food was delicious, the ambiance was warm and lively, and even with a full restaurant we could actually have a conversation without shouting across the table. Great food, wonderful hospitality, and the ideal spot for a celebration. I’ll definitely be back.

    A lovely little restaurant located in a wonderful Seattle neighborhood. The food was good, the staff is wonderful, and if we lived in the area we would return. It is not a high end Italian dining place, but it is warm and friendly, a place you would like to have in your neighborhood.
    That's Amore - SeattleResponded on 4 October 2026
    You are so kind, Joe, to throw all those compliments our way. We do love our neighborhood vibe, so thanks for calling that out.

    Experience was good overall but food was a little bland, however the risotto cakes were absolute fire! I’d go back for those alone!
    That's Amore - SeattleResponded on 4 October 2026
    Hey, Angela, Thanks so much for taking the time to post your 5-Star review and your additional comments. I'll let the kitchen know that a guest found our food a little bland. But we won't touch that arrabbiata sauce on the risotto cakes. I'll let the kitchen know you described them as, "fire." They'll love that.

    Kind of like that Billy Joel song about that little "Italian Restaurant". Quiet, intimate with really good food.
    That's Amore - SeattleResponded on 4 October 2026
    That is so funny, Jerry. When we read your review, we found out that David is not familiar with the song. So we played it in the dining room, and the rest of us sang along. Then I forgot to return to review to respond. Just know we enjoyed serving you and look forward to next time.
