Recently tried this place for my parent's 31 year wedding anniversary. My sister and I tend to be quite particular about italian food because we grew up in Rome for most of our childhood. L'amante was nothing but spectacular. From the appetizer all the way through the primo and secondo to the dessert everything was delicious. Although the menu is... More

We went for our daughter's 20 birthday parth. The staff was nice, the restaruant is clean but sterile. When I go to an expensive restaruant, I expect the food to rock my world. That didn't happen here. It wasn't bad, but I could have gotten just as good food for far less money. The little details were not taken care... More

The appeal is the contemporary decor. The food is good, but not the best in Italian dining. Nice wine list and general presentaion of entre's and appetizers is also very good.

A beautiful place for an upscale meal before the show or after a movie! It's a true date night location...oh, and the wine is exquisite!

My wife and I are at L'amante on New Years Eve before attending First Night. We had early reservations so the restaurant was quit empty at first, but it filled up fast. The service was great and well as the food. I don't normally like to eat out on New Years Eve, since the menus tend to be high priced... More

On a recent visit to Burlington (to visit my son at UVM) I had the enviable task of sampling the various restaurants in downtown Burlington. L'amante was the best decision of the trip. The delicate squash blossom fritter with honey and truffle oil was a perfect way to begin. Next up... the balsamic roasted duck with sweet potatoes ...done perfectly... More

As a friend of mine who ran a restaurant once told me: Thanksgivings and New Year's Eve are the worst nights to dine out if you want to get the most for your dollar. So this may not be a completely fair review. However, this was not a special New Year's Eve menu that was offered; it was their regular... More

This restaurant never fails to disappoint. The food is excellent, and the service wonderful. A little on the pricey side for Burlington, but always consistently good Italian food. My favorite is the calamari appetizer, in balsamic vinegar; I wish I could lick the plate. I always order it when I go there.

I think the title really says it all. This place isn't cheap, you don't have to pay the bill to know that. But it is also one of the best dinners to be found in Burlington...and I've had a few. Would I say it's the best food in Burlington? Maybe. If you include the surrounding towns then I'd say probably... More

This was my second time at this restaurant and it was for my birthday and was looking forward to a spectacular meal. While the service was excellent, the food disappointed. The food was just so-so this time and it was very expensive. Maybe it's me but I need an expensive meal to be pretty darn good and in this case,... More
