Osteria Amici Reviews
Everything about this place is exquisite. The atmosphere, the service, the food. Highly recommended!
Hands down one of the best restaurants around. We go monthly and have never been let down, amazing food, great staff, and great atmosphere.
Had a reservation for 3 for 6:15, tonight. Arrived, was greeted well, welcomed, and sat and provided all necessary menus. It's safe to say this started off well! The atmosphere is great and we were very excited to try this place. 5 minutes go past and we didn't have one server or employee come to acknowledge our existence at our table. Okay, we get it if it was busy (it was only just starting to), so we'll study the menu a little more so we're ready for when we do receive service....read full review
