Best Mother's Day Ever at Amore by Andrea, Brunch or Dinner.

Share the Love this Mother's Day.

(Longboat Key, Fla.) Now is the time to invite all the mothers on your list to experience an extra special by making reservations at Amore by Andrea, Longboat Key’s premiere destination for Mother’ s Day brunch or a gala Mother’s Day dinner. The lavish brunch buffet is served from 11:00a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and dinner is from 5:00p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Choose to sit outside in the elegant and contemporary Palm garden or inside in either the fireside lounge or the gracious European-styled dining room. Whichever you select, the cuisine and service will be exemplary and truly memorable. Brunch is $34.95. Plan a private Mother’s Day wine dinner in the exclusive wine room for groups from 10-24 people.

All Moms will receive a complimentary $10.00 gift card for a return visit as Chef Andrea’s special way of giving thanks to all that Moms do. “My Mother lives in Italy and I will be thinking of her on this special day,” said Chef Andrea Bozzolo, Co-Proprietor of Amore by Andrea, “and it makes me want to honor all the mothers on the suncoast of Florida on their very special day. I am cooking some recipes that were my mother’s that she cooked when I was a child. It makes me feel close to her.”

Some of the special dishes for Mother’s Day include a carving station, chilled salads and shrimp cocktail, several homemade pasta selections such as mama’s lasagna, homemade breads and fresh local seafood. There will be a variety of tempting salads and, of course, a bountiful table of Italian and American sweets.
