I was drawn to Amalfi's because the food blend sounded excellent; what could be wrong with Italian style vegetarian? As it turns out the advertisement was better than the delivery.
Located in Ghent, the decor was upscale European. Although it was a little loud it was visually pleasing. Before ordering food I had wine and the winelist is impressive. Strolling over to the open kitchen area I was able to watch some dishes being prepared -- my stomach sunk when I saw meat (looked like a pork chop) being cooked alongside vegetables. Thinking this was a dish for one (non-vegetarian) person, I watched the food be seperated and combined with other ingredients before delivery to a table for two people (one "vegetarian" and one not)!! I sat back down (near the kitchen) nursed my wine, and watched this occur twice more before paying my bill and leaving.
Bottom line, this is NOT as vegetarian as advertised. I would pass on this restaurant.
