Amici's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

Very disappointed tonight. Made a 1715 call ahead yesterday, arrived on time tonight, yet discovered two large party reservations (news to me as I was told they didn’t take reservations the day prior) had basically filled the restaurant. Head waiter/manager said it would only be 15-20 min until a table would open in the back so we waited. Finally a table did open in the back 35 min later but lo and behold I’m told the head chef/owner then gave that table to friends with a later call ahead time. (Literally watched this happen). At this point, 45 min after we had arrived the head waiter/manager was no where to be found so we left. Just an idea, either honor call aheads in order or at least tell us it’s going to be an hour later than our call ahead when we arrive on time. Based on the poor customer service tonight that involved the owner playing favorites on an extremely crowded night, I won’t be back nor can I recommend this restaurant. Kind of felt like a second class citizen who clearly wasn’t on the known list based on how badly we were treated tonight. We ended up going somewhere else albeit sitting down much later than we had hoped and had a nice Italian dinner.

They have a first come seating for the bar they do not take resv for those seats at Amicis in Melbourne Florida Tonight I walked in and there were only to seats open but they had plates and napkins in front of those 2 chairs. I was told that customers had call ahead for those seats but they had not arrived yet. I was told that I could not sit there so I walked out I eat there at least 2 times a week. Owner Dave was not there but his son Joesph was the one who said I could not sit at the bar. I will never spend another penny in this resturan. VINCE

The food was good but the service was great! Our server was very kind and friendly for my girlfriend’s 21st birthday. We were very happy to celebrate her birthday there!

I have been a customer for 6+ years. The food is excellent your servers bartenders are some of the best in Brevard County.. The biggest downfall at Amici’s is the gentleman who is at the hostess stand. I believe his name is Dennis. Just recently, my husband and I came to Amici’s we waited almost 15 minutes before a server greeted us and sat us in the wine room. While we were waiting another couple came in. They waited about five minutes no one greeted them either. They turned around and walked away..
While enjoying our, dinner, this gentleman, walked into the wine room. There was only two tables in there our table and another group he looked over at us like we were an inconvenience for being there. We did come in at 8:30 at night the main dining room was very busy. That’s why we selected to go to the wine room, a large party was just leaving. There were two female servers. Both greeted us with smiles. We had wonderful service. I believe our servers name was Destiny, she was very polite kind and prompt! However this gentleman every time he walked in because he did come back and go into the wine room again, looking at us with a sour face , I’m not sure maybe he had a bad day, but I will tell you he’s been like this on multiple occasions when I’ve been in and our friends and family who frequent your restaurant as well. They all have the same experience but no one has spoken up. I know Joey and Stevie very well . They are a huge asset to your restaurant. I understand Stevie just left. Sorry to hear that, but if it was my restaurant and I’ve been in the restaurant business for 43 years, Dennis would not be the first person my guest would be greeted by. I just thought you and everyone else should know because you only know what you know , I wish you nothing but success, but hope that you will take this serious and coach Dennis, if he is going to be the first person YOUR guest meet and interact with, he needs to be kind, friendly and greet customers as they come Because perhaps the customers you have are coming back for you, the servers, the bartenders the chefs but not him! How many people are not coming back because of Dennis, that’s what you don’t know. I thank you for your time in reading my message. God bless.

What an amazing, authentic Italian restaurant! First time eating at the restaurant and it did not disappoint! As soon as my husband and I walked in we were greeted and given the choice of where to sit. The inside is beautifully decorated and just overall a relaxing environment. Our server quickly brought us fresh bread with olive oil and herbs. I knew our food was going to be amazing after that first bite of bread and I was right. ? The food was absolutely incredible! Magnifico! Highly recommend!

We went for my birthday The bread was not edible we all tried and not one of the 4 of us finished. We ordered Two dinners and a Greek salad and a pizza. We never did get the dinner salad that the waiter said he was bringing. He brought my pasta side dish first the my daughters main dish. I did ask about the Greek salad and the table did get that I then got my main dish it was okay but the sherry sauce was so thin it was like my chicken was in a soup. Then the pizza showed up after me and my daughter was already done eating do we waited til the other two in our party ate the pizza

We stopped in Amici's for some lunch and I'm so glad we did! We ordered garlic knots and they were the best knots we've ever had! Baked fresh, they were covered with lots of fresh garlic, herbs and oil. They were so good!! We also had a white pizza. It was loaded with creamy ricotta cheese! I highly recommend drizzling the leftover garlic and oil from the knots over your white pizza. It was out of this world!! I can't wait to go back!!
