Amatore's boasts a reputation for being one of the best dining experiences on Chattanooga's north side, as well as one of the most expensive. After moving from its original downtown location around ten years ago to occupy one of the refurbished buildings in the north side's shopping area, Amatore's has become a stock location for dates and celebratory dinners with its fully-stocked wine bar (available only to those 21 and over, of course), Italian-French fusion cuisine, and its elegant outdoor dining areas. Amatore's maintains rather strict security and has tossed out trouble-makers on more than one occasion, but the staff is always courteous and accommodating to those who behave themselves.
