A lot of love at Amorette in Lancaster

Who: Amorette

Location: 401 N Prince St, Lancaster, PA 17603

---

Intimate. Sexy. Extravagant.

These are just a few words to describe my experience at Amorette (meaning little love), a fine dining restaurant that employs all of your senses. Amorette’s founders Thomas and Donna Ponessa have created a culinary environment unlike any other that I’ve experienced. And award-winning Chef Rikku Ó’Donnchü – where to begin. The concept of each dish was so incredibly thought-out and executed, he is truly an artist. We were served wines from expert sommeliers, and were treated like royalty.

From the presentations, to fragrances, this experience involved all five senses, so settle yourself in for our eight course meal…

If you’re looking for something entirely unique and lavish for your next date night, I highly recommend booking yourself a hotel (the Marriott in Lancaster is a fantastic option and is less than a 15-minute walk from the restaurant) and indulging at Amorette. They offer a variety of dining experiences, sure to be more unforgettable than the next.
