The original Amante's As any dyed-in-the-wool Broward resident will tell you, the original Amante’s was a slice of New York heaven in Deerfield Beach and not just figuratively but literally as the restaurant served a robust menu of soulful Italian-American fare as well as co-owner Bob Amante’s killer NY-style pies. From 2006 to 2019, the restaurant drew a packed house nightly as drawn by the food as the old school vibe and warm, family-fueled hospitality. In October 2025, the new, refined and expanded Amante’s – still owned/operated by the Amante family (husband and wife Bob and Cristina with son, Nunzio) – will open at 2009 NE 2nd Street in a gorgeous new space just steps from its original location. In cooperation with operating partners Eddie & Christina Pozzuoli – the seasoned restaurateurs behind P Hospitality Management –Amante’s will sport a bright new look; the same craveable menu of Italian-American favorites, including Bob’s pizza; indoor & outdoor dining, a private dining room; buzzy indoor/outdoor bar and a separate speakeasy-style entrance strictly for takeout orders. With roots in the restaurant industry going back to 1975 and preparing to launch a splashy new incarnation in 2025, the Amante family is preparing for a truly memorable 50th anniversary!
