On Thursday, Sept. 12, the Great Bend Chamber of Commerce hosted a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Amore Italian Restaurant, located at 2917 10th St. Guests enjoyed a variety of delicious appetizers as the restaurant celebrated its new leadership and exciting updates to its offerings.
Johnny Thaqi, the new manager of Amore Italian Restaurant, brings over 20 years of restaurant experience. Though originally from New York, Johnny has also lived in towns similar in size to Great Bend, including nearly a decade in Texas. He and his family are thrilled to now call Great Bend home. “We feel so welcome here and are looking forward to becoming more involved in this wonderful community,” Johnny shared.
Amore Italian Restaurant, which opened its doors on June 18th, is known for its authentic, homemade Italian cuisine. Under Johnny's management, the restaurant has expanded its menu, introduced new lunch specials, and lowered prices to ensure that more people can enjoy the delicious offerings at affordable rates. Customers can also look forward to the addition of dinner specials in the coming weeks.
Among the local favorites are the Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo, Tour of Italy (featuring chicken parmesan, lasagna, and fettuccine alfredo), and Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo.
Amore Italian Restaurant is open for dine-in and carry-out and is also available on DoorDash and Slice for delivery. The restaurant’s hours are Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and closed on Mondays.
