*Honest review, from an Italian New-Yorker. I'll start by saying how great of a mood our entire family was in. We are on vacation, exploring the Melbourne area. My sister, who lives in Port St. Lucie said there was a great pizza place they'll make the long drive for-frequently. We have 2 young children, 6 months and 2 years old and figured we'd order a pie from about 20 minutes away and have it ready by the time we arrived. Thus far, we arrived and paid for our pie they made for us. We asked the hostess if she would mind if we ate inside, since it was slow, and it was a little hot in the Florida sun for little ones. She said no problem at all and brought us dishes. Very nice. A short time into our wonderful pizza. a heavier set male, who I assume is the owner or manager, stops in his tracks and looks at us. I see him call the hostess over and blatantly utters why are they sitting at the table with a box. He went on to her making it very uncomfortable to the point we just wanted to finish up and go. We felt bad for even eating there now due to his obvious issue with us so we cleaned our own mess and began to leave. ** This is where the 1 star comes into play** He stops in front us and says "Why aren't you leaving tips". Working in many restaurants, having a family owned pizza place in Brooklyn, NY, and owning other places, we've never felt so uncomfortable to not leave tips. But because he almost didn't give us an option, we left a tip and on the way out says "This isn't a Pizza-Hut". Now, I'm not saying the pizza was bad, in fact it was alright, but when you're to the point where you can be that cocky and ignorant, you will lose my business for good. I will pass the word on to my family who frequents the pizza place. I believe in karma, so I will leave it there. But if you have kids, think twice about eating here- the owner clearly doesn't have a heart and his attitude was definitely resembling a worker at a "Pizza-hut" (in his words). If you choose to give someone like that business then more power to you. Do yourself a favor and if your trying to decide on this place or a Pizza Hut, go to the Hut, you won't be trapped to give a tip after awful customer service. In this case, no one out pizzas the Hut. God bless.

One of the better pizza places in brevard. Delicious fast and friendly. Two things to note. The 18 inch pizza is huge. The buffalo chicken pizza is a favorite but it does not normally have tomato sauce on it. So if you like your buffalo chicken pizza with sauce you need to ask for it when ordering. Also the cannolis are excellent.

Eric K. was my waiter and did a fabulous job of serving! The food was great & it was a great atmosphere!
Patricia G.
A wonderful meal with great service. We used the call ahead service and had no wait for a table. Our waitress had just the right amount of sass and was very attentive even though the restaurant was busy. The food was the best!
Kathleen V.
Food is delicious and service was excellent. The manager at the front lacks customer service skills.

We went to Amici's tonight for a late dinner and I ordered the lasagna. It came out with the edges still bubbling which gave the impression that it would be hot all of the way through but NO! The inside was so cold it almost felt frozen. I sent it back and when it came back to the table the middle was warm but by no means was it hot. The wait staff barley seemed to care and when my wife talked to the manager all he said was that he would look into it. Did they offer to take it off the bill? NO! Did they offer a free desert? NO! I barley got a sorry. It will be a while before I go back.

It was a beautiful experience, dining and atmosphere were worth every penny for a very special evening out.

Great ambiance, quality of food service is exceptional. If you like a higher end atmosphere with great selection of bar, and foods, this is the place!
Excellent food and attentive service, what more can one ask for?

ordered 2 chicken Alfredo fettuccine on the way back home from FL to VA. Just wanted a nice dinner on the road avoiding all types of inconveniences called to order and it got ready quickly (1star) Got into the car, went back on the road and a little later decided on eating and realized THERE WAS NO CHICKEN. I don't care if it's a miscommunication but you've got to be stupid to be paying $15 for just pasta and sauce. they don't even bother asking to make sure if you want any meat in it. I was not charged for the meat but I clearly ordered CHICKEN ALFREDO. I don't give a damn about the salad cause that's cheap af but cmon, I payed $35 all in all. Not worth it even $5 for the pasta itself. This is so so upsetting. I can't even go back to get meat cause we were far gone and to make me feel better.. "but you didn't get charged for it?" the manager took over the phone in a sarcastic way said "so we want compensation for 2 Alfredo fettuccine when we ordered 2 Alfredo fettuccine??" Like dude cmon, why don't you ASK FIRST. it's your employee that failed to properly take the order. Idk maybe people around here are just used to ordering pasta and sauce and some leaves.. but y'all are just better off going to the grocery store.

Having not had great luck with food here in Melbourne, an acquaintance recommended Amici's. Let me just say I WAS NOT READY for all this place had in store! We ordered chicken parmigiana and chicken piccata to go. The marinara sauce is AMAZEBALLS and the cream lemon sauce on the chicken piccata was insane with flavor. I only gave it 4 stars because there wasn't enough chicken on either entree. But what really made this a great experience are the personnel. They've got a kitchen filled with smiles, a warm inviting atmosphere, a wine bar, and a dessert bar. You guys GOTTA TRY THIS!!!!

A friend and I dined there Friday Evening, we were hoping to find the Best Food in Melbourne, FL. And a night to Celebrate. Each of us drove about 40 Miles. Me from Orlando, and her from the beach. We were blown away how fantastic the food is. Chef /Owner Cooks, takes amazing pride in his work. Creative, Innovative. Friend had the Wrapped Motz Starter and Filet for main - both off the CHART!. I had the Tuna Tartare - Loved it, my date doesn't like seafood and she loved it as well - great take on Smoked Salmon, with Tuna. The Prawns and Crab was awesome. Glad we made a reservation, as the place fill's up. Dinner was so good I left a 60% tip. We will make the drive from Orlando again, and bring friends next time. Well Done Chef! Thank you for a Fantastic Evening, Dave

I used to go here all the time but over the years they have slipped more and more. My usual Italian restaurant is closed for vacation so I thought I'd give Amici's another try. I called in an order for pick up - two entrees. When I arrived home, one of the orders was incorrect. Wrong pasta was with one of the dishes I ordered. Very disappointing. When I called back and explained the mix-up, I asked for a manager and spoke with Dennis who refunded me what it cost for that dish. They did offer to re-make the dish with the correct pasta but I was not going back out. I'm glad he recognized the mistake and corrected it. Not sure if I'll be going back anytime soon.
