TESTIMONIALS

Everything about this restaurant was amazing. Owner is very kind! The bruschetta was the BEST I have ever tried! Such sweet tomatoes and tasty balsamic. We also started with cornbread which was very enjoyable, spread was very unique. We had the linguini with shrimp and gnocchi - both sauces were so flavorful! We finished with the strawberry dessert, which had a texture similar to flan. It was amazing! We devoured it in seconds! Our server was also very kind and did an amazing job making us feel comfortable. Highly recommend!

Wow, what a great first impression! Next-level bruschetta, perfect salmon, fluffy Nutella tiramisu. Personal service and great care taken over everything. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Amano Bistro is a wonderful restaurant and a great addition to the North Center /Lincoln Square area. Firstly the food is delicious. My husband and I split the octopus, short rib ragú and pork chop and all foods were absolutely delicious. The service is really transportive they want you to feel at home and they really welcome you in and serve you like family. We walked away from our dinner uplifted with bellies full of delicious food and excited to return soon! We would order the same meal again and be happy but are excited to try more of their menu!

So happy Amano has opened. Brought my kids on Thursday. The staff was friendly and the Frito Misto and Chicken Parm were a huge hit. Came back Friday with my wife and we had a great dinner together. Everything was delicious and the staff was so kind. Can't wait to come back.

What a lovely new addition to the neighborhood! The space is small and cozy and has a sidewalk patio. The Mediterranean menu is small but mighty. It has your favorite comfort food like pasta and chicken parm as well as grilled specialties like Branzino and a uniquely prepared Tomahawk pork chop. The Octopus was cooked to perfection, the bolognese pasta was rich and tasty and the Knife and Fork Caesar was really great. The owners were welcoming and the service was top notch. They await their liquor license and looking forward to trying their specialty cocktails too!

Amano Bistro boasts a creative and thoughtful menu. We started with the celery chips and octopus; they were delectable but the stars of the show were the pastas, specially the short rib pappardelle and gnocchi. The combination of the fresh, homemade pasta paired with the perfectly balanced sauces created a symphony of flavors that left us craving more. Each bite was a journey through taste and texture, showcasing the chef's expertise in crafting memorable dishes. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, with its intimate and well curated atmosphere. Service was attentive without being overbearing, allowing us to savor every moment of our dining experience. Amano Bistro truly exceeded our expectations and has secured a local favorite.
