Amore da Roma

Pastas $18-$29, entrées $18-$35

“Built 1890, est. 2017,” winks the website of Amore da Roma in Eastern Market. With that slogan, chef-owner Guy Pelino indicates that he’s dedicated to continuing the traditions of Detroit’s oldest restaurant, the Roma Café, which closed in 2017 after 127 continuous years and reopened six months later as Amore, with the same chef (himself), the same menu, and mostly the same staff.
