Ama is a mission-driven, all-day dining destination dedicated to the nourishment of its guests, its community and its planet. Led by husband-and-wife Micah Wilder & Johanna Hellrigl, Ama, which translates to “love” in Italian, takes its name from an Italian poem about leading life with love and intention – two elements felt across every touchpoint of the dining experience. An indoor-outdoor caffè and Genovese-style focacceria by day, Ama becomes an energetic aperitivo bar over the course of the afternoon and convivial ristorante by night. The result is a warm and transportive community anchor celebrating the joyful simplicities of Italian culture meant for every mood and moment.
