Best Authentic Restaurants in Vestavia Hills

I asked my family and friends to gather with me to celebrate my 26th birthday and my experience was amazing! Our server Dylan went above and beyond to help make sure my birthday dinner went seamlessly smooth! From the time we sat down and even when we had a seating change he kept up and did his absolute best! The food was great! They made sure our whole party received and ate their meals at the same time with each course! THANK YOU DYLAN FOR MAKING MY BIRTHDAY DINNER AMAZING! YOU’RE AWESOME!

Top notch! Everything just worked. It was our first time dining at Amore, which was a Birthday celebration. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to dine there. All guests in my party of five left completely satisfied. Service, selection and prices were all fantastic!

Came here for anniversary lunch. Our server Eric was awesome. We started off with the beef carpaccio and its was delicious, fresh, delectable-- everything I wanted it to be. We ordered the lasagna and the strozzapreti. The lasagna was awfully underwhelming, maybe 4 bites of meat and a ton of cheese, in a small portion. It tasted good but would not order again. However, the strozzapreti was delicious. The pasta, sauce, chicken, pine nuts and everything about it was perfect, would order again for sure. We had peroni on tap which is a refreshing Italian light beer and the wine was crisp. We finished with affogato and the server was happy to take a pic for us. overall wonderful experience, will definitely be back.

Overall a wonderfull experience. My only issue were my fries were not hot - probably did not need them anyway as the burger was amazing! The chicken piccata is a wonderful dish as well.

From the time my party of 2 arrived until 10 minutes later when we happened to be sitting next to a party of 2 in the waiting area the Hostess thought we were a party of four. She forgot who we were from one minute to the next and seemed genuinely disinterested in her role. She sat us at a table that as she adjusted it had an obvious wobble resulting in a large amount of soy sauce to spill onto the table, Instead of recognizing the issue and much less offer a cleanup, she started to walk away. I stopped her with a simple request to please seat us in a 2-spot booth. What was looking like a train wreck event was saved by our server who was top notch and attentive. The food was good and as expected for PF Chang's but my wife and I both commented how the restaurant was more cafeteria-like and lacked the pizzazz that it once possessed. We will most likely return to another PF Chang's in the future (typically 1x - 2x per year), but our expectations for a high quality, fun dining experience continues to diminish with each subsequent dinner. If there were a 3.5 star option I would have distinguished given hostess experience.
