The pizza and atmosphere are amazing here. I had never had a wood fired pizza until I came to Amato's. Now I'm hooked. They are delicious and super fast. The service is fantastic here. The wait staff makes you feel welcome and will explain everything on the menu. They are all well trained on every dish that is offered and they will ask questions until they figure out what you like. The wood fired pizzas may only be a step down from the pasta in my opinion. The pasta tastes like homemade with rich, yet delicate sauces. Their salads are a nice addition to the pizzas and pastas. My husband and I usually split a salad between us because the portion sizes are so generous. This is a great place for family night or date night.

Dinner we met some friends who were doing Atlas Obscura day trip for Michigan. It is really nice to see Marion cleaning up, and having really good food and beer options now. The guy taking care of us did a really good job, we never went without a beer or water and the food was served hot. The building consisted of a renovated storefront with exposed steel and new walls seeing this now, I will definitely be back. Period

I was in here two weeks ago, the fourth time I have been, and the experience, while long, was worth the wait. On one hand, there were some service snafus, as they were heavily busy on Saturday evening, and some of our order was mixed up, the food and drinks themselves were superb. Major props to our server/bartender, who was super friendly, makes great mixed drinks, and was super helpful and communicative throughout the evening. We had the Tuscan garlic bread, bruscetta, and a take on a quattro formaggi style pizza, with added Italian meats. I know I'll be back again!

We were in the area for the night and decided to check out the town. We stumbled across this place due to the outside patio and crowd. I'm glad we did. We got to sit on the patio since it was a nice evening and there was a local entertainer singing. We started with the meatball appetizer, great flavor and sauce, only wish came with some bread to soak up that sauce. We each tried a different 8 inch pizza, i had the pepperoni & sausage, while my husband had the pesto jalapeño and side of pizza sauce. Great spot we will be back to try more if ever in the area.

An excellent choice for wood-fired pizza, beer and wine! First, let's get this straight: wood-fired pizza has, by necessity, thin crust. Let me say that again: it will be a thin crust. If you want a thick, bready,, carbohydrate-saturated crust, then stick with Dominoes. To say that differently, this is a style of pizza. This pizza originated from Naples and if one gets to think about it carefully, wood fire pizzas require an environment that is very similar to the traditional technique of cooking. Instead of using electricity and gas, wood fire pizzas are cooked by burning loads of wood, which gives it a smoky flavour and unique aroma. So don't complain about the thin crust. The pizza combinations have been carefully designed. Each pizza has its own flavor profile. Again, this is not "pizza joint" pizza. The appetizers are very good. Our table shared an Anti-Pasto Platter: Fresh mozzarella, salami, grilled zucchini, squash, roasted red peppers, asparagus wrapped in prosciutto and Kalamata olives. Great for sharing. This was professionally prepared, and perfectly roasted. We skipped the delicious-sounding pastas and enjoyed the wood fired pizzas. Two of us ordered the Capricosa (Tomato sauce, artichoke hearts, fresh mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, hard-boiled egg and fresh Mozzarella). Unbelievable. Excellent. Perfectly fired. Our other stablemate had the Cippolini (Tomato sauce,caramelized onions, fresh scallions, Gouda and fresh Mozzarella). Excellent. This is NOT the place to stuff your gut with bready pizza. This is traditional, Italian-style pizza. Pizza is Italy is a PART of dinner--not the main event. Order it with apps or salads. I know this is a difficult concept, and the first time I went, I left hungry... American hungry. Learn to eat like a European--not stuff yourself like an American bellied up to a Thanksgiving trough. An 8-inch was enough to bring home half for each INDIVIDUAL diner. You might want to order the larger size if you are sharing one pizza for 2. It really depends on whether you are ordering an app (try the shrimp scampi toast!). An excellent dining experience! We shared a blue salad with a 5 oz filet. Delicious! The beer selections are amazing. Our table loved the Oberon Pinot Noir. Delicious and a perfect selection for the men. The service was attentive without being annoying. Amatos--a Delaware favorite--is well executed in Marion. Highly recommended!

Amato's is one of my favorite pizza joints...especially when in the mood for a wood fired pie! Ordered two 12" pies; margarita and Oahu...and they were spot on! Crispy crust and just the right amount of toppings! Also had an order of feta spinach triangles pasta...same report quality wise! Server was prompt and friendly with frequent drink refills...another quality meal all around.
