The food at Amici's is tasty, and the setting is great for family dinners. My favorite dish was their pizza. Their pasta and arancini were okay. I have had better pasta. My primary issue is with the host. My family and I celebrated my mother's birthday. We were a party of all women, and the host made my sister uncomfortable. He suggested that she should send lewd pictures to him, and I found it incredibly inappropriate. Especially since he made the comment at the beginning of the dinner.

Been going there for 20 years. First time there since Covid and forgot how much I really enjoyed not only the food but the atmosphere and particularly the wait staff. I promise you won’t be that long before I return. Had a great dinner.

Nice atmosphere, great curb appeal. Was greeted graciously by two hosts, all good. But, they only had one waiter taking care of entire room. Granted, he had a lot of bussing and host help, but he was very “short” with us with low in personality. All business. Was looking forward to a Martini to start off, to find out, no liquor license. Not his fault but his delivery of that news was a tad rude. Wasn’t interested in giving us a wine list, appeared he wanted to sell by the glass, didn’t want to spend time servicing us. After second glass I asked if they had a real wine list. He paused and didn’t answer but went and got one. I typically spend $125-$200 on a bottle and more than one, typically, but that ship sailed. He screwed himself on an extra $30-$40, $80 in tip by not offering list. My son and his girlfriend went most of the night w/o filling water glasses, not good. Overall place is a bit expensive for experience, will probably not go back and we live in the neighborhood. I never NOT tip well no matter how the experience, he still got >25%. Just what I do.

We love Amici. Great food and staff. One of the few places that starts with bread and dips worth the calories! It was Christmas Eve and we had a great time.

I love this restaurant - chill neighborhood vibe, always lively, excellent food and drinks. My sole w/vegetables, tricolore salad (split) and side of pasta (split) was top notch. Bottle of Veuve, Can't go wrong. The waiter and manager are Italian and super nice. Came here with 10 ladies for holiday dinner.

Pasta was overcooked and mushy. The complimentary bread served at the beginning was rather stale. Service was fine. It used to be a neighborhood gem but they have had a tremendous turnover in staff and the restaurant was half empty on a Thursday evening. We won't be back and it is unfortunate as it is within walking distance of our home.

I had been years ago and it was not the same sadly. Our waiter barely paid any attention to us. It was our anniversary and we were shoved into a corner and no sort of celebration was had.
