When a man meets your eye with a big pizza pie, that’s amore – especially if that man is chef Beppe De Vito and the pizza’s from his new restaurant, Amò. Part of the ilLido Group, the eatery is sophisticated yet casual, with dim lights that draw all attention to the open kitchen where De Vito and his pizza chef Federico Schiraldi toss dough through the air before it’s baked in a wood-fired oven that’s made in Italy, of course. Schiraldi’s pizzas are light and doughy, with a crisp and slightly charred base. But if you’re looking for variety, you’re not going to find it here – there are only eight pizzas on the menu.
TRY?Opt for one with creamy stracciatella buffalo cheese, prosciutto, rocket, and fig vincotto ($32), which is an Italian vinegar similar to balsamic but a touch stickier and sweeter. There’s also a pie with mushrooms, truffle, mascarpone and a generous shaving of pecorino from Tuscany ($35).
