I recently visited this new location and was very happy. They food was just as great as their old location but unfortunately they do not have pizza! Other than that I have nothing but praise for this resturant. Good job and I will be back!

• Pros: Happy hour specials, great food
• Cons: No pizza or cheese ravioli

Sadly, this is NOT the same Amerenos it used to be...

Amereno's used to be our all-time favorite restaurant when it was located at 22nd/Sarnoff... we were heartbroken when it closed down and were eagerliy anticipating its reopening and relocation. During the interim, we searched and could not find another Italian restaurant in town that could even come close. Needless to say we were ecstatic to hear they finally reopened once again. Sadly however, this is not the same Amerenos that we had grown to love. There were a few things missing from the previous menu - along with my favorite dish, the ziti calabrese. These things may be forgiveable, however the service was absolutely terrible! We were promptly seated, however our waiter ignored us for the first 15 min then failed to take our drink order, then never refilled our drinks and ignored our repeated requests for more bread. The atmosphere was not as warm as the previous location, although they kept the live jazz music which was great. The food was ok, however the prices had increased while the portions were downsized. Sadly, the music was the best part of our dining experience. Our waiter was so incredibly disrespectful and rude - suffice it to say we will not be returning. In this economy, it's not worth spending our hard earned money to be treated so rudely and then pay for a pricey mediocre meal.

• Pros: The live music is fantastic.
• Cons: The service was terrible, portions were small and pricey.

This food is very bad at the NEW location!

This food is the worst Italian food I have ever tasted! I think these post must be from the new Korean lady that owns this slop house!

They served ketchup tasting red sauce they called, "GRAVY"! I don't know who taught them to cook, but this stuff was very bad tasting!

I then tried the so called pizza. Can you say under cooked crust with tomato sauce right from the CAN!

Do not waste your gas to drive our there it is in a bad location and the food is just terrible!
