Amore da Roma is often cited as the oldest still-operating restaurant in Detroit. The establishment was family-owned for decades after its 1890 opening, operating under the name Cafe Roma, until changing hands and temporarily closing in for a few months in 2017 before its reincarnation as Amore de Roma, under the ownership of executive chef Guy Pelino. While the the restaurant has received updated decor and fresh visuals as part of its overhaul, the classic Cafe Roma menu remains mostly unchanged. It serves brunch, lunch, and dinner seven days a week, focusing its menus on classic Italian fare such as veal and seafood entrees and homemade pasta dishes. An extensive Italian wine list is also offered, along with signature cocktails.
