Amalfi Taste

Our first time to Amalfi Taste, and we were greeted by the owner. Catherine took care of my wife and me this evening. We started with the fig and goat cheese flatbread, a nicely balanced and light antipasti. My wife ordered the scallop risotto, which was lemon zesty with perfectly done scallops. I had the pappardelle with lobster, also a perfectly prepared dish. For dessert, we had tiramisu and limoncello cake, both light and wonderful. We enjoyed the concise wine list and cocktail menu. The staff was great, the food wonderful… we will be back!!

We dined at Amalfi Taste for the first time tonight and were blow away by the food. The atmosphere was great and the service was spectacular. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Italian restaurant. We will definitely be returning!

This restaurant in Woodforest is amazing! I visited for a birthday party and thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. I ordered the margarita pizza, which I definitely recommend, although I felt it needed a bit more flavor—that might just be my personal taste. I also noticed that the table didn’t have salt or pepper. They started us off with appetizers, which were bread rolls served with what I believe was avocado oil. They were so delicious that I ended up eating all of them in one sitting! I was surprised by the size of the pizza; I thought it would be small, but it’s actually quite big. If you plan on ordering it, make sure to bring a friend to share! As for the service, it was excellent! The food for our group of 14 was served in about 25-30 minutes, which I think is impressive. We had two servers taking care of us. One of them, named Tony, introduced himself and was wonderful—always checking in to see how we were doing and making conversation. The other server was also very nice. I especially want to thank them for their patience with our loud group. If you live in Woodforest and are looking for a great restaurant, I highly recommend Amalfi Tastes!

Took my bestie for her birthday and the owner Dorian made the experience magical for all of us! And our waitress Katherine was top notch and very attentive. We started with lobster bisque, and had warm rolls at the table. Cocktails and wine were amazing. Then had table side fettuccine & shrimp cooked in the Parmesan cheese wheel. Such an awesome experience and so delicious as well. Best night ever.

Our first time here and it was great! The place is super cute, our server Hans was very attentive, and the food was delicious. It might be the best tiramisu I’ve ever had. 10/10 will be back!

Wow!! Absolutely blown away by our experience this evening. We’ve seen all the great reviews and decided to have dinner here to celebrate our anniversary. Food was so fresh and flavorful. Our waiter, Anthony made the experience even better. He was friendly, professional and had great recommendations. We will definitely be back.

The best food the best service and the best atmosphere around. We dined on NYE and while they were packed the service was extremely fast for drinks and for the food. The food quality is always great here and they have an amazing happy hour throughout the week. If you’re in the area you need to check this place out!!!

This place was very delicious and the atmosphere was really nice! Came for valentines and they had a fixed menu but all the choices were amazing!

Katherine did an excellent service. We loved our experience and will be back all members of family were satisfied and the timing was good

Authentic Italian cuisine Everything was so delicious Server attentive Lovely dining room Been there quite a few times and will definitely return

My husband and I went here expecting an average dinner and just wanted to try something new to us in the neighborhood. it exceeded our expectations, by far. The Osso Bucco was phenomenal, so flavorful, fork tender , rich and savory. The risotto it was paired with was absolute perfection. My husband had the filet and it was tender enough to cut with a butter knife, cooked to a perfect medium rare and had so much flavor. The mushroom gravy and potatoes it was paired with were a perfect balance of creamy, savory and salt

Went to Amalfi Taste for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! From the amazing service, to the beautiful atmosphere and even better food I couldn't recommend it more! We started with the bruschetta, for entrees we got the short rib risotto, lobster ravioli, and filet mignon and they gave a complimentary lemon cake and all was phenomenal.

Reservations reservations required We tried to walk without one but got accommodated. Food was amazing Pasta is fresh and chewy which are the best The pasta made on a cheese well may be gimmicky but it tasted wonderful Even the calamari was wonderful: batter was the thinnest ever, light, salted very lightly

Why 5 stars? Because this was one of the best brand new restaurants I've visited in a while. --- --- --- There's a reason that most locally owned restaurants have soft openings to work the kinks out. I can think of an infinite amount of new restaurants that have opened near me in recent years, where the feedback from people was, "ehhh... I'd wait a couple of months until they figure out their issues." This has been especially true for businesses here in Pine Market. Since we moved here in 2021, I think that has universally been how it's gone. But the Woodforest neighborhood Facebook page was the polar opposite for Amalfi Taste. I didn't even know this had opened, and then in the blink of an eye, I couldn't open Facebook without seeing someone raving about their visit. So we had to check it out for ourselves, and I have to say: the hype is real! And just as everyone else has said - you would never know that they had only been open for a week or two before we visited. I actually asked our server if the owners were also the owners of any other restaurants, but he said they actually own Harvest Market (which Amalfi sits on top of), but not other restaurants. He didn't seem 100% sure of that, but it's still pretty amazing that Amalfi Taste isn't a franchise with a tried and true plan for opening. But as for the food: Burrata Alla Parma: 5-stars. My favorite Italian appetizer (Prosciutto and Burrata) and I basically have no notes. It had these little mini balls of balsamic on top, and I guess it could have used a bit more of those, but I still loved this dish and would happily order it again. Parma E Prosciutto Pizza: 4-stars. High quality crust. I don't know if I would have to order it again, but it was enjoyable. Spaghetti Alla Carbonara: 4-stars. Similar to the pizza, in that, I really enjoyed it, but it wasn't necessarily the star of the show. Pollo Alla Parmigiana: 5-stars. May I introduce you to... the star of the show. If this wasn't the best chicken parm I've ever had in my life, I don't know what was. It was a bit crispier than normal around the edges, which I loved. But my favorite part were the giant globs of cheese on top - they looked like marshmallows and they tasted like heaven. Not only will we be back, but this will probably be our most commonly visited restaurant in the area.

Ambiance was nice & upscale with navy velvet seating & soft lighting. We ordered the CARPACCIO DI MANZO; USDA prime beef, arugula, shaved parmesan, artichokes truffle oil, SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA 22, Guanciale with parmesan,egg yolk and creamy sauce & the pistachio cheesecake. All were tasty but I didn't care for the smell of the CARPACCIO DI MANZO...it was a bit off putting to which I just could not stomach it. Perhaps it's an acquired taste. Regardless, Anthony our waiter was attentive & we had a nice lunch.

My step mom and I came here for lunch and I was disappointed. Especially for the price of the dishes, the food was just not great. My pasta was super bland and the calamari we got looked like someone just threw it on the plate. I feel like they were trying to make it look presentable but failed. The Caesar salad may have been the only good thing that we got, along with the rolls and bisque. Unfortunately like I said, my pasta was just super bland and boring. I don't think we will be coming back.

I'm always impressed when you marry excellent cuisine with awesome service. At Amalfi Taste, you experience the total package. This neighborhood venue is a must try for locals and beyond. Ask for Anthony - he's not only knowledgeable, but a class act. We will be back! Save my seat for NFL madness.

Food, service, and ambience 1000%. The attention to detail here is incredible. We live in the area and try to come here often. The bartenders and owners remember your name and drinks it's hard to beat that level of professionalism. The food is an amazing and they are constantly adding new things to their drink menus. It's always a tasting experience and it's ALWAYS an experience. I've been here alone and been here with my family including my very young daughter and the staff are amazing, always accommodating and are so great at what they do. The area has grown and more places have come up and when it comes to Italian cuisine Amalfi really makes it hard to go anywhere else where you can have great food and great drinks tis close to home. Hats off to these folks!

This place is so great! First of all the service was amazing, The food was so delicious very fresh & great quality ingredients! I highly recommend this restaurant! The lunch menu is great!I you get to pick a glass of wine a appetizer a main dish & a dessert, I had a glass of wine a Cesar salad, margarita pizza with goat cheese & terimsu for dessert so great & I don't like sweet things but I couldn't stop eating it also it's really pretty & Ambiance is great This is a must try & I know I'll be back soon

Another rare gem I stumbled upon in Woodforest. The Italian restaurant is above Harvest Market. Everything was delicious and the service was amazing. Dorian the owner was welcoming and made sure everyone was enjoying their meal.

Shockingly good Italian food worthy of anything in Italy! And way out here in Montgomery County. We were mentally not prepared for such a nice surprise.

Came here for dinner tonight. Was absolutely delicious. Likely the best restaurant in wofo next to Wo sushi! Fresh and homemade!

What a fantastic first experience at Amalfi. Martini and Old Fashioned were perfectly prepared. Caprese salad was fresh and refreshing. The Pizza was a hit, love all the homemade ingredients. Short rib risotto was amazing. We had ave already been back again for the 2nd time in the opening week. Congrats to Dorian and team for creating such an inviting atmosphere with a wonderful people. Great way to start!

Was our go to pizza place. Smaller pizzas but at $16, for the homemade style it was worth it. Went tonight and they raised the Diavola from $18 to $22. Sadly that's just not justifiable. I totally understand that it's a challenge to make money in Pine Market with rent but $44 for 2 small pizzas is just not worth it for us. Hope you guys can make it work, we will be there for special dinners still, but not pizza night.

This place never disappoints. The short rib risotto is world class, but so is everything else. Highly recommend it for a date night, a drink or two, lunch, whatever

Terrible. Place was empty except for large table of obnoxiously loud women cackling and cutting up. Normally I don't care but would not expect this type of behavior to be acceptable at a high end restaurant. Portions were decidedly small for the price point. A/c wasn't working. All in all disappointing for an anniversary dinner.

It's so tasty and such a jam in Woodforest area. Sweet staff and great drinks!!! They have lunch special and great happy hour selection. Definitely will come back!!!

Upstairs above the Harvest Market. Nice enough for a date, but casual, and quick, enough for a family with young kids. The pizza will remind you of Zanti's. It's good, but not your typical carryout style. Think of it as something between standard pizza and a wannabe fancy flatbread. Apps: The salami & cheese board thing is okay. Decent amount of meats, but none of them are all that fancy. Think high end grocery store deli meats. Lobster bisque is good, not great, but far from bad. Actually probably the second best in the area. The calamari and shrimp is also good. A huge plus, and this is a theme at Amalfi: the shrimp and calamari have always been perfectly cooked. Still tender, not at all hard or rubbery. The meatball app is probably the best. Not at all dry, a genuinely very good meatball. Entrees: The veal dishes are excellent. Small portions, thin cutlets, but perfectly cooked every time. I'm guessing that's hard to do considering how often restaurants serve ruined veal. If I was forced to complain about the veal it'd be on portion size, and I don't eat much in general, along with the slightly too sweet for me Marsala sauce, but, tbh, I'm pretty sure their Marsala is exactly the way it's supposed to be. I just have odd preferences. They have all the typical chicken versions of the veal dishes all with much larger portions, but the best part, yet again: I've never had overcooked chicken at Amalfi. The lasagna is very good. The spaghetti in the giant bowl of Parmesan is another good choice.

Just went to Amalfi taste for our anniversary dinner. Wow! The food was amazing but my napkin smelled so disgusting. I did mention it to the waiter, and he said, "They don't care. They all smell that way." I tried to explain, I can smell it from my lap, I touched my face with it, it's gross." He just shrugged, so I asked for paper napkins. It would have been nice if he attempted to diffuse by offering the paper napkins on his own, and REMOVING the smelly disgusting ones from the table. Please, I beg you, go smell your napkins, and train your staff to remove ANYTHING from a table that a customer is unhappy with. I will never return.

The food was excellent but the service is inconsistent. The waiter asked if we were ready for dessert even though we never received our dinner order. The waiter does not deliver the order. so they do not seem to communicate with the food delivery team as far as timing and coordination of the orders. Reservations are a must to avoid a wait.

Hidden gem and a must try. Great service from the owner, waitstaff, host. This place is beautiful in the inside and ambiance will blow you away. The food and drinks were delicious.

Our party of 4 enjoyed a lovely dinner including cocktails, appetizers, entrees and we finished up with a shared dessert! Great service too! We look forward to coming back soon.

Ambiance, service and presentation were excellent. That's the good. The growth opportunity, the food. Extremely bland. I ordered the Flavors of Calabria. Calabrian peppers are one of my favorite flavors on this planet so was super excited to see it. Just tasted like oil and pasta. My wife got the chicken parm and it was also quite bland and flavorless. I expected more from one of the more expensive ristorantes around. I wish them luck and will watch reviews to see if the chef makes some changes.

The best Italian in Texas and maybe in Italy hands down. Dorian and his team give the best service you will ever get! The table side fettuccini will change your life!!

Amalfi Taste is a hidden gem in Pine Market. The ambiance is inviting as soon as you step upstairs (lemons, lemons, lemons!). The server was knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. The food is AMAZING! The cocktails are not only stunning, they were on point! We started off with carpaccio and caprese. Both appetizers were full of flavor. We each ordered a different entree (5) and they were all delicious! We will definitely return!

This place is amazing We went last night and ordered pizza, pasta, and risotto. All were delicious. I had the mushroom risotto and it was the best I've ever had...by a landslide. We sat on the patio and it was beautiful and such a vibe. Already thinking of going back. Dangerous that it's walking distance if you live in the neighborhood lol

Ordered the filet tonight, Rare plus. The first time it came out it was close to medium well to well done. Sent it back and the second time it came out. It was exactly the same. I don't know if there's a language barrier issue or a Cook problem but that is absolutely ridiculous that you can't get it right one out of two times. Will definitely not be going back. All they offered to do was to comp the steak that I never got. Absolutely ridiculous actually understand what true service is and how accommodate customers. With this kind of service, I don't see them lasting long in Woodforest.

Great food, good service. Very impressed, will definitely return. The pasta was fresh, the risotto was fabulous...

Boyfriend and I went to get dinner and the place was busy but not so much to wear it was okay for them to take over AN HOUR to bring our food out. Portions are small. Staff was nice, but waiter did not keep us posted on the food. Atmosphere was nice and intimate. Overall the ambiance was nice, service was decent but food not worth the wait

Everything was just on point. Great service,delicious food and super nice ambiance. Will definitely be back

Great service. The pasta was homemade! Delicious pasta and sauce! Appetizers exceptional. Nice wine selection! A great find!

The food was very good. My kids split the wood fired cheese pizza and my wife and I got a couple pasta dishes. All was delicious and very affordable. I will be back

Amalfi Taste is a brand new restaurant located above Harvest Market on Fish Creek. You should definitely give it a try. Four of us went recently and all thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The place was lovely and the service was amazing.

Our first time last night and I was pretty disappointed honestly. My husbands silverware was very clearly dirty. I got the table side pasta with chicken, the chicken was so dry I was shocked. They ended up taking it off the bill which I appreciated but was pretty disappointed as I had heard such great things about the restaurant. By the time the waiter checked on us I was almost done with my pasta and was too late to remake the chicken. My husband got the short rib risotto, and the risotto was half mush half grainy. I think this will just be a drink place for us moving forward. The only thing we enjoyed was our bottle of wine.
