From Madison, Wis. to the Mediterranean

Amara is our take on contemporary coastal Italy featuring soup, salads, and flatbreads at lunch and brunch, and sharable small plates and bites, hand-crafted pastas, and entrées at dinner.  All showcases the bounty of Madison, Wisconsin.

Our bar showcases the art of Italian drinking including refreshing spritzi and sangria, negronis, cocktails, and espresso. Our wine list features Italian and Italian-inspired artisan wines farmed by hand and made with classical methods.

All comes together to match our decor – light, beautiful, clean, relaxed, simple, energetic, and revitalizing...

ABOUT 2

Amara is Beauty

The name Amara derives from the Ancient Amaranth plant, in Greek ‘Amáranthos’, which means ‘everlasting flower’. Amore in Italian, Amará in Spanish, and Amara in Arabic all refer to love or passion. Yet, Amara in Italian means bitter, conjuring some of the hallmarks of Italian cooking and drinking, where herbs, bitter greens, and digestivi are celebrated for their health benefits and healing botanical qualities.

 

Bitter and sweet are often found together, and at the same time, and couldn't be more relevant to us now as we move forward with passion and purpose seeking beauty, balance, healing, health, sustainability, and love!
