Exceptional Dining Experience at Amiccis

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Amiccis and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance transported me straight to Italy. The cozy yet elegant decor, paired with the soft Italian music playing in the background, set the tone for an unforgettable evening.

The service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. Our server went above and beyond to ensure we had the best dining experience, offering excellent recommendations and explaining the origins of some of the dishes.

Now, let’s talk about the food—it was divine. Every dish was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. We started with the bruschetta, which featured perfectly toasted bread topped with fresh tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil that tasted like it was just pressed that morning.

For the main course, the Chicken Piccata was rich and hearty, with a sauce that had clearly been simmered to perfection.

Dessert was the perfect ending—a classic Tiramisu that was light, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. Paired with an espresso, it was a slice of heaven.

Amiccis
is not just a meal; it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving authentic Italian cuisine, this place is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their incredible menu.

Five stars aren’t enough to do this restaurant justice. Highly recommended!

We shared multiple appetizers such as eggplant rollatini, calamari, seafood martini,all were excellent, the petite veal osso bucco was tender and delicious,cioppino excellent , orecchiette sicliano delicious, chicken amici tender and flavorful . Dessert was delicious also pumpkin cheesecake was delicious and triple chocolate mouse was light yet rich definitely for chocolate lovers and the apple struedle with Gelato was delicious. Thank you to Sonny and Fame and the rest of the staff for making our nights memorable. I definitely recommend, we will be back again our little go to place.

Food was delicious with good sized portions and a wide menu. A little pricey but not a deal breaker. Parking is a little tricky. Definitely a favorite in the area.

We live within walking distance so we have been dying to try this place because we have heard good things. We went on a Saturday night as a walk in and we waited 40 minutes to be sat. That was 100% our fault, we should have made a reservation as they were so busy. Something that did not affect us was that I did notice the people who did make reservations were still waiting 20+ minutes once they have gotten there. What is the point of a reservation?? We sat down and were given water and bread. The bread was awful and super hard. We waited another 20 minutes to even order. The waiter was so busy that he was just plopping stuff on peoples table without saying anything. I literally seen some of the staff jogging around the place. They severely understaffed this place which makes them look very bad. When people see a waiter busy out his ass they refrain from asking for stuff and making conversation, the things that make or break your dining experience. It was so loud in there that I couldn’t even hear my boyfriend talk to me. Then it took 40 more minutes for our food to come. I ordered the Clam Posillipo. I was served clams in their shell with linguine sitting in a bowl of clam water. Not even sauce, water. The portion was pretty small too. After all that we paid over $80. Extremely disappointed in our experience.

My friend and I recently moved in this area & Amici’s was our first restaurant to try! We do weekly Friday dinners and decided to try it out. Immediately, we knew the food was going to be good. The vibes and atmosphere were welcoming and gave the experience and authentic feeling. Below are the chicken Parmesan and penne vodka. AMAZING dishes. Nothing short of flavorful. 10/10 recommend, the staff, the feeling, the food are all incredible!

I have to say the place & food are absolutely DELICIOSO.

And atmosphere would have been perfect but there was 1 fly. There is a cost to Managing these insects and it's a necessary investment.

It did not hinder the food in any way, nor the service. It was outstanding.
