"Amuni is an assertively modern Sicilian restaurant that appeared during the pandemic in Bay Ridge. The setting is an informal cafe, and the old-time Sicilian recipes are often slightly updated for contemporary tastes. The panelle special, a sandwich of chickpea fritters that look like fried ravioli, are now stacked on a large bun, making a very full meal. Tuscan style, the artichokes are fried instead of stuffed, and a wonderful version of the muffuletta is fabricated, as if it had come from Sicily rather than from Sicilians living in New Orleans." - Robert Sietsema
