My Dinner with Amy presented by Diamante Productions at Stage 773

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...One cook wearing so many toques can often be a recipe for disaster. But though this show doesn't reveal Grant Achatz-like levels of inspiration, it's a perfectly serviceable and frequently enjoyable riff on the usual opposites-attract dynamic of the romantic comedy, with the seemingly endless battle between true believers and atheists tossed in for additional flavor."

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...As is usually the case with stories about uptight good girls and charming rakes, there is never any doubt that these strange bedfellows will eventually end up in bed (true love trumps Jesus every time), so Fiorentino's task is to keep us amused 'til we get there. He does so with varying degrees of success. Though he has an undeniable flair for one-liners, the script sometimes feels too relentlessly quippy."

EpochTimes - Highly Recommended

"...an hysterical 90 minutes of pure laughter currently playing at The Theatre Building on Belmont. Over the past few years, I have seen the works of Playwright Tony Fiorentino and this is by far his best work. He is truly maturing in his writing ability and as an actor/director his timing is superb."

Time Out Chicago - Somewhat Recommended

"...Fiorentino has staged his previously-penned romcoms at the Theatre Building, and here he’s writing, directing and performing, which makes less of a triple threat than a threat to himself. And the script, while adeptly performed, is no threat at all. Amy executes the structure of meet-cute comedy capably, but not cunningly, offering timeworn comfort in its predictability."

ChicagoCritic - Highly Recommended

"...This funny show is amazingly fresh, cliché free and smart. It wins our funny bone as well as our heart. We care about each of these real folks in their struggle to find a soul mate. The script has layers of humor with some truthful insights into human nature. This surly is the source of much of the humor."

Chicago Stage and Screen - Recommended

"...The cast is a small one and there is only one scene with one set during an evening among strangers that had me wondering if the show would keep my attention. One self-proclaimed atheist, Tom (Tony Fiorentino) and another polar opposite personality/set of beliefs Amy (Star Alexis Velasquez) found themselves on a mission to disprove each others beliefs in place of an actual date. As the story unfolded, the dialogue became witty and often funny."
