FRIGHTS, FEASTS AND FAMILY FUN AS AMORE E AMORE’S NIGHTMARE ON HIGHLAND RETURNS
Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 8/20/25
Two Months of Over-the-Top Dining, Haunted Nights, and the Countdown to October 31
Family-Friendly and Adults-Only Reservations Now Available
The countdown to Halloween is officially on at Amore e Amore, and this year, it’s creeping in earlier than ever. Beginning on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, and running through the entire month of October, the beloved ristorante will once again transform into a haunted hideaway for its annual Halloween-themed pop-up, A Nightmare on Highland, complete with eerie décor around every corner, spine-tingling treats, specialty cocktails, and sinfully delicious Italian fare crafted by Professor Giovanni himself.
Throughout the season, guests can reserve a table Tuesday through Sunday to dine among ghosts, ghouls, and over-the-top Halloween décor. Themed menus and hauntingly festive cocktails set the tone for evenings where indulgent Italian feasts meet spooky spectacle.
As October winds toward its most haunting nights, Amore e Amore takes the theatrics up a notch. The month-long spectacle builds to two back-to-back weekends designed for every kind of reveler—whether it’s little goblins on the hunt for candy or grown-ups looking to toast the witching hour with cocktails and costumes.
On Saturday, October 25, and Sunday, October 26, family-friendly festivities kick off at 4 p.m. Kids 12 and under are invited to show off their most hair-raising looks in a festive costume contest while digging into a spooktacular kids’ menu, priced at $29.95 per child. Little ghouls and goblins can enjoy pizza bites and meatballs, along with child-sized portions of fan-favorites like cheese ravioli, fettuccine alfredo, and spaghetti and meatballs.
Then, as the moon rises on Halloween night, it’s time for adults to raise spirits and take part in a haunted celebration like no other. On Friday, October 31, 2025, revelers 21 and up are summoned for a devilishly indulgent, adults-only evening. Guests can enjoy a four-course prix fixe menu for $125 per person, plus alcohol, tax, and gratuity, with seatings between 8 and 8:45 p.m. The night promises bone-chilling cocktails, a spellbinding set from a live DJ, a roaming magician, and a high-stakes costume contest brimming with prizes, praise, and plenty of boos and booze right up to the witching hour.
