I will live in North Center in a few days so I decided to check out one of the restaurants close to my future home. Amano Bistro was such a great discovery. The interior is not that big but very cozy. The ambiance was nice and people were not loud at all, unlike many others places. I loved that I could see the kitchen and was able to watch the chefs preparing the food. The glass window is a very nice touch. My waitress was welcoming and attentive to my needs from A to Z. Food was excellent, I had a free welcoming appetizer, the ragu pasta, a glass of red wine, a nutella tiramisu, and a café. I

We have enjoyed brunch at Amano Bistro multiple times, and it’s always a pleasure. Service is outstanding, the chef prepares everything with such care (we always get a smile and a wave, too - he’s so awesome!), and the food DELIVERS. We have worked our way around the menu, and everything has been delicious. I also think it’s a great value with reasonably priced entrees and $22 bottomless mimosas for 2 hours.

Very cozy neighborhood favorite! The restaurant has a very pleasant atmosphere inside, and they also have a patio setup with a heated tent for the winter. The service was phenomenal - they provided recommendations and walked us through some of the menu staples, which vas very helpful. We really enjoyed the food. First, they brought homemade cornbread with feta cheese dip for the table, which we enjoyed. My favorite entree was the short rib pasta, but I'd also recommend the pork chop (which comes with some of the best homemade chips I've ever had). Overall a great experience and I'll be back!

I'll start this review by just telling you to go here. If you're on the fence don't be. Everything about this place is amazing; the food, the service, the ambiance, pricing, portions... All great. We ordered specials, the arincini, lamb chops and pasta fruiti di mare. Every piece of seafood was cooked perfectly Calamari was tender not rubbery, which is a feat in itself but especially in pasta. The demi glace on the lamb was glossy and rich, the lamb itself was fresh, sweet and tender, no gamey lamb here. The wine list is phenomenal as well, some great bottles at very reasonable prices (the gru
