Welcome

On Huntly Street, just off the west end of Union Street, Mi Amore is a traditional Italian trattoria of the old, friendly kind, with checked tablecloths and murals of Italy on the walls.

The menu is the classic one, done well and at a fair price: pasta of every shape, rich lasagne baked in the dish, penne in a fresh tomato sauce, linguine heaped with prawns, mussels and clams, crisp calamari to start and generous desserts to finish. The welcome is warm and the atmosphere relaxed.

It is a few minutes' walk from His Majesty's Theatre and the Music Hall, which makes it handy for a meal before a show. The restaurant opens from Tuesday to Sunday, from noon until midnight, and there is a takeaway menu too.
