MADE BY HAND. EVERY SINGLE TIME

Amano means "by hand" and "with love" — and that's not just a name.

Every pasta is house-made from Tipo '00' flour. Every pizza is leavened for a minimum of 48 hours, hand-stretched, and fired in our Stefano Ferrara wood-fired oven — handmade in Naples. These aren't shortcuts we've skipped. They're standards we refuse to compromise on.

I had an amazing time at Amano Ristorante e Pizzeria! Right from the moment we entered, the staff greeted us with such warmth and friendliness. The food was incredibly tasty—each dish was bursting with flavor and clearly prepared with love. The cocktails were equally impressive, perfectly balanced and a fantastic addition to our meal. The vibe really brought everything together, making it an ideal place for a chill and enjoyable evening out. It’s not often you find a spot that nails everything, but Amano really hits the mark on all levels. I’ll definitely be returning.

I hosted my bridesmaid proposal here and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The team was so accommodating — they kindly allowed me to come in early to set up, and made the whole process seamless. The service was attentive throughout the event, and everything ran smoothly, which really helped make my special celebration stress-free and memorable. The food and atmosphere were perfect for such an important occasion. Highly recommend the entrees and pasta was to die for! Thank you to the amazing staff for going above and beyond — super grateful for the kindness and hospitality. Highly recommend Amano for any special event or celebration! Will be returning for a cute lunch or special occasion dinner!

Walking in the atmosphere on a cold and very wet night was warm and inviting. On my table was a beautiful hand written card wishing that I have a wonderful night celebrating my birthday there. Right there was the first indication of the personal touch this place has. The food was delicious, hot and we did not have to wait. The staff were amazing ! Next time we come will be for date night ! This will be a staple for us now.

On the weekend we visited the team at Amanos, and we were so impressed with the service. As we were being seated through a packed restaurant that was also hosting an event, my 18-month-old son started crying for chips. We asked the waitress seating us if we could put through a rushed kids’ order, and she responded with kindness and understanding. I was so impressed with the prompt delivery of a fresh, hot kids’ meal — it made such a difference and immediately settled him. Despite how busy the venue was, the staff remained friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was vibrant, and it was clear the team genuinely cared about their customers’ experience — even the smallest guests! We truly appreciated the extra effort and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend Amanos for both the quality of food and the exceptional service.

Tucked away in Emerald Hills, this pleasant taste if Italia didn't disappoint. On a hot 37 degree night, the forno was raging but you wouldn't have known. The staff were very attentive to our needs and wants. We started with a margarita pizza to see if they knew what they were doing. After eating in Napoli's most famous pizzeria I wasn't disappointed. Cooked the traditional way where only a knife and fork can be used. We then moved onto lobster linguini and prawn spaghetti. The sauce was light, as it should be for seafood. A hint of chilli which didn't detract from the perfectly cooked seafood. I finished with a lovely light affogato which was pleasing to the palate. The wine list is a good selection without being too pretentious. Once again, the staff shined throughout the night and I am looking to return here very soon to try their aged meats. Bravo, grazie mille.

We celebrated my son's Confirmation at Amano. Has and will always be my favourite Italian restaurant in the area. Our function operated seamlessly no hassles, everything ran smoothly and as always food was AMAZING. Can't thank the owners and staff enough for making my son's Confirmation a memorable day.

My friends and I dined together as a party of 3. We were seated at the back of the store, where it looked like a booth. Initially, all the waitstaff were walking past us, and we had to put up our hand, then we were making eye contact with any staff who might look our way. Sabina became our waitstaff for the evening. Very humorous person, if you are alright with the humour! Despite not being looked after initially, I didn't let my stomach dictate the overall food evening and ambience of Amano Ristorante. The woodfired pizza made with 48-hour unleavened pizza dough was mouthwatering, and you would definitely keep coming back for more. The salad was fresh, but I personally like more tang in a vinaigrette dressing. We went with Sabina's suggestion for dinner and were happy with the choices overall. Sabina has very good knowledge of the menu, very friendly waitstaff with a great sense of humour.

Our families favourite restaurant, the food is always amazing, always consistent and the service is above and beyond every time.. we came to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary back in June, first night out without our baby and the team at Amano made our night even more special with a little card wishing us a happy anniversary! The food is so delicious that my own husband says how amazing their Ragu sauce is even in comparison to my own sauce that my Nonna taught me when I was little.. our go to Italian food when we want a little treat and night out. Amazing work Alyssa and Elias !

We were thoroughly impressed with the quality of food and service at Amano. The ambience of the restaurant is just right and food and beverage options were plentiful. Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion if you’re local. We were also served by Sabina who was excellent at her job. We noticed she was the only wait staff on this particular night. She clearly ensured all the tables were satisfied and engaged with the guests appropriately. Will certainly come back again.
