Amo Trattoria is an independent, family run bistro and bar in West Derby Village. It begins the day with breakfast and brunch before moving into Italian food in the evening, creating a relaxed local venue that can serve several different kinds of visit.
Fresh pasta and handmade pizzette anchor the Italian menu, joined by dishes such as lasagne, beef ragu, carbonara and chicken Milanese. Bruschetta, arancini, charcuterie and small plates are designed to be mixed and shared, while daily specials allow the kitchen to respond to fresh ingredients.
Seafood choices include prawn linguine, risotto, scallops and sea bass, while salads, roast squash risotto and plant based sides give the menu useful variety. Tiramisu, limoncello cheesecake and other desserts carry the Italian theme through to the end of the meal.
Breakfast ranges from a full English and eggs Benedict to pancakes, avocado on sourdough and a vegan breakfast. Amo’s own coffee blend, wine, cocktails and a fully stocked bar support both daytime and evening service, with walk ins welcomed earlier and reservations available later in the day.
Address: 60 Mill Lane, West Derby, Liverpool L12 7JB, England
