Amore'

[30A Skunkape]

OK full time SOWALers and frequent visitors, I am really worried about Amore! Please, please, PLEASE patronize this place. They were closed at 8:45 PM Saturday night when we tried to go there and were dead as a doornail early in the evening yesterday. Please do not forget about this little gem. The food is delicious and priced right. Support the little guys or you will be enjoying Dominos or such:bang:

[shakennotstirred]

It is definitely on my dining itinerary for next trip!

[Indigo Jill]

This is what I fear we are going to see more and more of. Even the BaitHouse at WaterColor is closing after the holiday weekend for limited hours of operation (I think they will be open for breakfast and dinner only on the weekends?? I will post when I get more details). How many Realtors are living in SoWal? Builders? Contractors? That market is depressed so discretionary income goes away thus it's harder to get people into the door at restaurants and retail stores (the "luxuries" of life). Maybe bars will see an increase of business :shock: A lot of other year round locals are in the tourism industry which is also depressed this year due all the factors at work (hurricane season last year, gas prices, etc.) It's a domino effect and I hate to be a pessimist but my gut is telling me it's going to be a rough next few years for a LOT of folks here. It seems most everyone I speak with has alluded to how money is tight for them right now.

It has been a little slower since school started again. We are hoping for a good holiday weekend now that Ernesto is no longerbearing down on us.

We are always happy to see our SoWal friends!!

we'll be there very soon... I've tried every single pizza on the menu and can't decide on which one is best - they are all the best! toppings are all so wonderful!!!

[Beachbummett]

We will be eating there this weekend. Can't wait to try it out. As often as we are at the beach we never make it in, after reading all the great post here we have to try it. Looking forward to it!

[Paula]

I'll be there next trip in October, ideally with other SoWallers!

By the way, Olive, we had a fantastic type of thin crust pizza in Italy that seems to be quite the trend there now, at least where we visited in Tuscany -- pizza with a light red sauce covered with little scoops of mascapone cheese with a thin layer of prosciutto over the cheese. It was so good that I sobbed silently as I ate it, overcome with food emotions. I even took a photo of it. If this photo below doesn't come out well, email me and I'll send the photo to you privately.

[miramargal]

We'll be sure to stop by in October, too. I want to go to the Flutterby festival at Gulf Place so it will be an ideal stop for a meal after.
Since The Spicy Noodle has let me down, I'm looking for a new fav pizza place.

:clap_1: :clap_1: A new SoWal favorite! Maybe Avery (sp?) can duplicate it??...it sounds heavenly!

[goodwitch58]

We love this place but it has been too hot for us to enjoy for the past two months...once the temps falls, I am sure Amore will be crowded--I hope so!

We have, but, it's not as pleasant. I am looking forward to Fall temps and wonderful breeze to go with the pizza....

It was heavenly. I think the trick to the pizza is to add the mascapone and prosciutto at the very end of cooking. Otherwise the mascapone will melt (and it's better when it's in a small creamy lump on the pizza) and the prosciutto will cook. Interestingly, I googled the recipe and found nothing! It seems to be a new trend in pizza, at least where we were in Tuscany. (I had it 3 times over 2 weeks and it was offered in several restaurants/pizza places). We discovered tiramisu there before it got popular here, as well as panna cotta before it got popular here.

yes, outside is wonderful when the weather is fine. but I promise, the pizza is outstanding inside as well... we tried it out recently!

YUMMY! Wow- my husband (Parrothead) and I took our two children (ages 4 and 2) to Amore tonight- it was delicious! I have a new favorite down here on 30A!

The deck is incredible, the breeze was awesome and the pizza was perfect! I recommend everyone try it. The music was really cool too- I felt like I was on Southbeach.

We enjoyed ice cream at Miss Lucille's after dinner- a fun night! :D

I also must tell you- today was a GORGEOUS day in Seagrove. I've been here for almost 2 weeks, and today was the prettiest day yet. Clear sky and low humidity! :rolling:

I usually find one or two foods when I go to Italy that make it to the U.S. about 5 years later. Since I couldn't find the recipe or any mention of the mascapone/prosciutto pizza on Google, then this may be one of those times. I believe they put the mascapone and prosciutto on at the last minute (maybe even when it comes out of the oven) otherwise the cheese will melt and the prosciutto will cook. Problem is that in the US, mascapone and prosciutto are expensive, whereas they are quite reasonable in Italy. Oh well...

Paula, you may not be having much luck finding a recipe on Google because you're spelling the mascarpone the wrong way. Try it again with the "r" and you'll come up with quite a bit. (I really like mascarpone, which is the only reason why I know how to spell it. :roll: )

The Spelling She-Devil has hit again! :twisted:

i had a fantastic lunch yesterday with a sweaterpuppet. the seasonal salad was so great that i went to the kitchen to get more yellow beats, but the last ones had been put on my salad. of course the pizza was perfect. i took a pic, but i can't find my camera. think i might have left it there.

Paula, I'll check all my Italian cook books for this pizza (or similar). If you can find a similar recipe, you can just start experimenting and figure it out. The first time I went to Italia, I came back in love with penne with gorganzola sauce. I found recipes and tried quite a few - the simplest is usually the most accurate/authentic. This is still one of my absolute favorite recipes on earth.

[Paula]

Penne and gorgonzola sauce. I love it, too, Tootsie. It's easy to make. put butter in a pan, melt a chunck of gorgonzola in the same pan with the butter, add to freshly cooked penne or bowties... sigh...:wub:

I looked in a few of my cookbooks and couldn't find the pizza recipe. We tried it at home and that's how we learned not to put the mascarpone and prosciutto on until very late in the cooking or right out of the oven. We used a dough from the freezer at the supermarket and that actually tasted very good when rolled thin.

Oh silly me, I didn't think of adding cream! That would make me not only want to slap somebody I love, but who knows what as well!

i'll check out the Italian recipe thread but I may not post right away. I'm exhausted from getting the kids ready for school, cooking up a storm (3 batches of peach jam, 10 jars of roasted red peppers for the freezer, about 20 jars of amazing gazpacho) because I went to the farmers market this weekend, and other stuff this weekend. I'm heading for a well-deserved nap before I start making the limoncello cream later tonight... I'll post that recipe for sure.

I only wish we had a farmer's market. that's one of the things we still don't have around here. really good fresh fruits/veggies very hard to come by. and I don't grow 'em...

[Paula]

the Farmer's market here is wonderful. I used to go early every Saturday morning, but this is the first weekend I had a chance to go. But my routine is very similar every fall -- make the peach jam, roasted peppers, gazpacho. Usually I make pesto and an eggplant appetizer, but I had some left in the freezer from last summer so I didn't this year. I'll make apple sauce later in September and this year will make limoncello cream and will bring it to SoWal in October if it comes out well! I'll post recipes soon... just too tired, too tired, too tired.
