Best Italian Restaurants in Rye

It’s a great place for a Sunday lunch or dinner and lunch anytime. It never disappoints

A hidden gem; Amare Cucina Pizza Bar is a slice of authentic Italian heaven in Blairgowrie! Every bite of their cuisine made our hearts go “Mama Mia.” The pizza (Norma) was perfection—thin, crispy, and melted in our mouths with fresh, flavorful toppings. Their pasta? Absolutely divine. We honestly cried with joy with every bite. And don’t miss the tiramisu—it’s the perfect sweet finish! They also offer a great variety of vegetarian options, which is always appreciated. The service was warm and responsive, with the attendants treating us to smiles and thoughtful recommendations. Jasmine, in particular, was fantastic—every suggestion she made was spot on and elevated our entire dining experience. If you’re craving authentic Italian food with exceptional service, Amare Cucina is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful variety of food. Dessert was the clear highlight with honeycomb to finish off. View was tremendous and service staff were great with helpful tastings of the wine to decide what to have and piazza style seating was fantastic

Another wonderful experience at this wonderful place fir a birthday celebration. The Stamford Homestead is on the top of my go list fir dining out Patricia

My experience with the wait staff was amazing. I had ordered something which I did not really like and when the wait staff asked how our meals were, I just answered honestly. I wasn't expecting anything to come of it, but I was offered another meal in replacement. I have never experienced that before. I will definitely be back for that alone. My daughters enjoyed their meals and the cocktails were tasty. Highly recommend, but be prepared for the cost. Nothing great comes for free.
