From start to finish - this was a spectacular experience! A+++ Kudos to the Chef!
There is free valet parking available at this location. As soon as you arrive, you're made to felt bougie!
Eating in a dining room of a house, this meal was magnificent! BYOB - we brought wine & Amici's provided a wine chiller. Also, there is a GORGEOUS outdoor patio. In the winter months, the outdoor patio is enclosed with heat lamps.
We started with one of the appetizer specials. The tuna tartar & avocado salad. It was absolutely delicious. Fresh, light and served with lettuce cups and garlic bread - it was so so so good. Highly recommend.
There is a pre-fix menu offered - you can choose an app, a dinner & a dessert for $48. I decided to do this & it was a LOT of food. There are quite a few choices to choose from on the pre-fix menu.
To start, I opted for the Eggplant Rollatini. PERFECTION! Honestly, this was one of the best eggplant rollatini's I've had. It was baked flawlessly. For my dinner entree, I ordered the homemade pasta & sauce - Pallardelle Bolognese. This restaurant makes homemade pasta! Not all of their pasta is homemade, but their ravioli is made in house and so is the Pallardelle. The Bolognese is also homemade family recipe & that is why I chose the pasta meal. It did NOT disappoint. Pasta was cooked a la dente (SUPERUB) and the sauce was so delicious - pure comfort food. The meal was so big, I packed up my leftovers (and the leftovers were just as delicious - warmed the pasta up in a pan with a little water & steamed the dish. It tasted like it did when it was brought to the table).
My sister chose the Chicken Amici (chicken topped with crab, shrimp with a wine lemon sauce). That meal was also sublime! The plate was colorful, with vegetables and potatoes. Chicken was tender, sauce was so light and NOT salty (which we appreciated). She also had leftovers & the leftovers (Chicken & veggies) were super tasty warmed up for lunch the next day.
My birthday boy had chicken fingers & fries. For a kid who wasn't hungry when we ordered, so he said, he ate up his entire meal. 4 big chicken fingers - southern style fried - he clearly enjoyed them.
We hardly saved room for dessert -but you bet we ordered it anyway! The birthday boy ordered Chocolate Gelato which was so chocolatey - he loved it. It tasted like fudge - it was so rich & the boys favorite! Amici's is kind to bring a slice of tiramisu with a birthday candle ready to be wished upon! Such a sweet touch to the meal. The staff sang happy birthday & the restuarant cheered! There is a choice of 3 desserts on the pre-fix menu and I decided for the tiramisu. light, delicate and delectable. We also ordered the creme Brule. The creme Brule was delicious and actually made perfectly. I keep saying that, the food is perfect - but the preparation and presentation of the food was ON POINT throughout the entire meal. The food was cooked / baked perfectly. I haven't had a meal like this, perfect from start to finish, in a very long time. Amici's did NOT let us down.
It is extremely hard to find an eatery that does not have a TV blaring in your face, news or sports, and we get enough of the tv at home. We make it a point to find eateries without televisions so that we can truly enjoy a meal without the stress of the outside world. I promise, you will find that reserve here. Allow your senses to be heightened when you visit Amici's.
Yes, we recommend. Yes, we are real customers who really did masticate at Amici's and we would do it again and again. We recommend you masticate at Amici's too.
