The smell of delish Italian-American dishes is ruminating through the air in Town Brookhaven, as new eatery Amore Cucina & Bar recently opened.

Amore is owned by chef and restaurateur Bruno DiFabio, 6-time World Pizza Champion and Food Network mainstay. The Atlanta location is the second one, modeled after the original restaurant in Stamford, Connecticut.

The eatery, which is located in the same spot as the now-closed Pizza Fire restaurant, will have Monday through Friday Happy Hour specials from 3 to 6 p.m. Other features will include a Sunday Brunch and what the restaurant is calling a “soon to be famous” Bloody Mary Bar, Bottomless Mimosas.

The interior of the restaurant will feature modern-rustic décor and hand painted murals from artists Sharon Leichsenring and Christopher Curnan out of Connecticut.

Standouts on the menu include Pork Belly & Polenta gravy, italian polenta, toasted almonds, spiced raisin, Pan Seared Snapper with creamy pea risotto, arugula, shaved fennel, lemon and Cavatell Massimo (lobster meat, grape tomato, spinach, cream sauce).
