This was our 1st visit and definitely won’t be our last! Easily one of the best restaurants in Waterville! The food was outstanding as was the service and atmosphere!
Banks Family
My family and visiting business friends have always had amazing dinners here. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made us feel right at home. We ordered the duck wontons, meatballs, and stuffed mushrooms — everything tasted fresh and delicious! You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The service was fast and friendly, and the cosmo was spot-on. Can’t wait to come back!

Over priced. Food was just average. Room temperature was warm. Shared a meal was given an extra plate and also an upcharge to split a meal……. We did the splitting ourselves. Will not be back. Almost $50 check for one meal and one alcoholic beverage and a Diet Coke. Was really hoping for authentic Italian food.

Amici’s Cucina is hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever visited, an absolute gem in the heart of Waterville! From the moment you walk in, the warm, inviting atmosphere and the friendly staff make you feel like family.
The food? Incredible. Every dish bursts with authentic flavor, clearly made from scratch with love and tradition. The pasta is perfectly cooked, the sauces are rich and layered, and the portions are generous. I highly recommend the Carbonara its comfort food at its finest. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just craving a hearty, homemade Italian meal, Amici’s delivers every time.
Do yourself a favor and make a reservation, you won’t regret it!

Chicken marsala was basically wine and chicken. no flavor (other than wine), literally never coming here again.

Laughably bad. like. genuinely icky. waitress was nice, didn't seem like she wanted us there. chicken marsala was not a sauce but a reduction with mushrooms that tasted like they were boiled. There is absolutely no way they don't get complaints about it. it was basically chicken with broth that tasted like wine. Don't understand why pasta was served with it.

Some of the worst food in Waterville. I got a cheese board, lasagna, and some pasta with lobster dish. Everything tastes like a frozen box kit from Wallyworld. The silverware is also very dirty, get a better dishwasher. If you are looking for some good food in the area, take a left and go to OPA. Some of the best food over there. All in all, if I could give this place a zero I would.
The place is clearly dead for a reason. save yourself the time and money, and choose a better place to eat. No one could pay me enough to come back.

We went Saturday night for the first time. The food and service was great. Will definitely go again.
I was disappointed that a dining establishment with such potential could miss the mark. I was served a green house salad that was less than 1/2 cup of limp greens as a starter priced at $12.00. Thankfully the bread was warm and tasty. Service was not great as the wait staff failed to clear my salad plate or light the candle upon our start. I think she’s new to this job. The salmon was very good oversaw one That entree was $27. Yikes! …this is not Manhattan or Boston. Potatoes excellent.

Overall, it was a satisfying experience. We did not have a reservation, and they were able to fit us in. We were concerned that the table of 12-14 ordering before us would slow down our order, but with tasty blueberry lemonade to nurse, cheesy French onion Soup to sip, and bread and oil to dip, any pangs were settled as the timing of our entrees joined the flow. The server was a veteran and knew the balance between attentive and annoying. The food was very pleasing. If there was one criticism to give, it would be that the sauce on the lasagna was too much, and the cheese was not enough. Does that count as two criticisms? Anyhow, you can't go wrong here, and it sure as hell beats those chain Italian restaurants with their prepared microwave entrees!
Service was very good. The rice ball appetizer was still frozen in the middle. Told the waitress she said sorry, I expected the manager to come over or maybe it would be taken off the bill. I had the pecan crusted salmon it was 27.00 I have never seen a piece of salmon that small. That is not a 27.00 meal , even with the salad that consisted of lettuce croutons and 2 cherry tomato .
