Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 3/9/26
A Vintage Coastal Fantasy Inspired by the Late Professor Giovanni Ferro’s Love for the Sea
Reservations Now Available
This spring and summer, Amore e Amore invites Atlanta to dive into a whimsical world beneath the waves. Beginning Thursday, March 5, 2026, the beloved Inman Park ristorante will unveil its latest immersive transformation, Under the Sea, a vintage-inspired, delightfully kitschy coastal escape filled with nostalgic charm, playful surprises, and the theatrical spirit that has defined the restaurant for 25 years.
Inspired by the late Professor Giovanni Ferro’s love for the sea, the dining room will be transformed into a retro underwater dreamscape layered with shimmering blue lanterns, floating jellyfish, cheeky sharks, and nostalgic seaside touches that feel like a throwback to classic beach boardwalks and old-school ocean adventures. Turquoise, Giovanni’s favorite color, sets the tone throughout the space, washing the room in playful shades of blue that evoke sunlit water and carefree summer days.
As Amore e Amore continues celebrating its 25th anniversary, the theme feels especially fitting. For a quarter century, the restaurant has built its reputation on transporting guests somewhere unexpected, turning dinner into an experience and transforming the dining room into an ever-evolving stage for imagination and celebration. Under the Sea carries that tradition forward while honoring the spirit of the man who inspired so much of it.
“This theme feels incredibly special,” says co-founder “Mama Gale” Parker. “Giovanni always loved the sea. There was something about it that made him feel joyful and free, and that sense of wonder is something we’ve always tried to bring into the restaurant. For 25 years, our goal has been to create a place where people can escape, celebrate, and make memories together. Under the Sea is a tribute to that same spirit and the man behind that inspiration.”
Alongside the immersive décor, guests can expect Amore e Amore’s signature Italian cuisine paired with playful themed cocktails, creative zero-proof libations, and plenty of surprises woven throughout the dining experience. Additional details, menus, and seasonal surprises will be announced in the coming weeks.
Amore e Amore is located at 467 N. Highland Ave. NE, Atlanta, GA 30307, and is open Tuesday through Sunday beginning at 5 p.m. Kids ages 12 and under are welcome from opening until 7:30 p.m. For reservations or more information, visit www.amoreeamore.com.
