I had the ceasar salad and stuffed shrimp. The stuffed shrimp was pretty good, but the ceasar salad was disgusting! It was bathed in mayonnaise, with crumbled parmesan cheese on it. There was so much mayonnaise it hung in clumps on the lettuce. It was gross. I love ceasar salads, this was by far the worse one I ever had.

Amici is a hidden pearl serving fabulous Italian meals for 30+ years. Located in a mixed neighborhood of residential homes, a park and light industrial business.
Covid hurt the restaurant business, but the same staff, friendly bartenders and kitchen has remained. It great for a special event or a great evening dinner.
Rumors abound that they are closing, but they are false. After Covid they served lunch on Thursday through Sunday and I am certain if more people...

Really enjoyed the vibe of Amici's bar dining area. The food was plenty and delicious, and our wine choice was enjoyed by all. We didn't feel rushed, and our service was always there when needed.
