Amante Pizza & Pasta

"Fantastic. I grabbed a chicken cheesesteak sub with fries just the other day for lunch. It was phenomenal. Nice and hot, right out of the oven. Flavorful. And the fries were delicious. Yeah, just fries but really great. The staff --- I only saw one person who acted as host, waiter, bus, everything --- she was wonderful. Really polite and helpful. I am in the area on occasion and the small shop I am at orders pizzas from here. Why? Because they too are phenomenal. Just really happy with this place, and seems to have a very well-deserved great reputation. I'll definitely be back!!"

"I have always drove past their sub lunch special signs and never stopped in. Wish I had started going sooner, they have a great cheese steak special on Monday you can get for carryout. Comes with a good amount of meat on a great roll, so far I've gotten carryout twice and been very happy."

"Hand's down the best Italian in the area. Perfect balance between authentic Italian and Americanized Italian. On our first visit (was a super busy Saturday night) - the staff/management was very welcoming and got us seated immediately even though their phones were ringing off the hook and the line was going out the door for their takeout orders...which is a true sign of how good their food is. The layout of the restaurant is interesting to say the least; With plenty of room to fit all incoming parties. Two story high building with a bar downstairs and lots of seating both up and downstairs. Visually the décor is also very appealing...almost looks like the inside of a winery. The food was INSANELY GOOD. And the portion sizes were massive for the price. I have been eating leftovers for three days and every time I heat them up they are almost as good as the first day. I had the Chicken Parm Sub with Onion Rings (best onion rings I have ever had). Girlfriend got tortellini with meat sauce (which wasn't on the menu but the restaurant was easily able to compensate her request). And our other party member had the Chicken Parmesan (also the best I have ever had.) And for the table we split a large Margherita Pizza for $21 which was 16 inches but felt even bigger. The toppings were fresh AF, whatever cheeses they are blending to top their pizza - DELICIOUS...and their sauce...don't even get me started on that sauce...SWIMMING IN DELICIOUS GARLIC. Exactly how it should be done. We loved this place and we will be back time and time again. I have been spreading the word to any of my friends who haven't tried it. PS: I also love the location of Amante's. I grew up in a the middle of nowhere and this place is on a very scenic route. I live close to Baltimore but will gladly travel 20-30 minutes out to Sykesville/Eldersburg for this food. Love this place."

"The restaurant is in a nice location. Italian and beautifully decorated with very pleasant music. Restaurant atmosphere suitable for family dining as date friendly. Parking in the rear of the restaurant where there is outdoor seating and a downstairs indoor bar with tables that is very nice. Our server greeted us with a pleasant smile, she was kind and helpful. Our food came out in timely order.. was absolutely delicious..the pizza was half Napoli and Sicilian. All ingredients are fresh . I had a bottle of Italian red wine, L'avvocata it was 50% off absolutely delicious with the perfect cool temperature and a very nice wine glass."
