⚠️ The trap
Not a false friend per se, but learners who know the English 'enamour' use it incorrectly. 'Innamorarsi' is everyday; 'essere innamorato' = to be in love. 'Il mio innamorato / la mia innamorata' = my sweetheart/beloved. Very common.
To say "to fill with love (formal/literary in English)" in Italian:
innamorarsi is the standard everyday word
"innamorarsi" in English means:
to fall in love
Example
"Si è innamorata di lui al primo sguardo."
"She fell in love with him at first sight."
