There’s amore in the air—and on the plate! Ottumwa proudly welcomes Amore Italian Restaurant, the city’s newest destination for traditional Italian cuisine served with heart.

Amore is the vision of Cathy, a passionate restaurateur who has spent the last five years leading Joe’s Italian Restaurant across several states. With deep experience and a love for hospitality, she now brings her first solo venture to life—right here in Ottumwa.

More than just a restaurant, Amore is a celebration of warmth, family, and the joy of sharing great food. From pasta classics to rich desserts, every dish is crafted with the same dedication and flavor that Joe’s fans have come to expect—only now, under a new name that reflects its soul.

Whether you’re craving a romantic dinner, a family outing, or a fresh taste of Italy, Amore Italian Restaurant is ready to welcome you.
