My new favorite restaurant in Pinellas! Wish I had discovered sooner- it has been there for years! Excellent Italian food! Great service! The bolognese sauce is truly the best I have ever had! My Mom agreed and we took home a to go container of just the sauce. The meatballs are also fantastic! Wish they would switch from soup to salad with every meal- especially in the summer. Highly recommend! read more

Atmosphere: Don't be fooled when you walk in, when you see the front area it gives the impression of a delivery/pick-up pizza place. This place is so much more!! Something that caught my eye right away, the fish tank is very clean. Having inspected restaurants in Chicago, usually the fish tank is a mistake and they are always dirty. This one comparatively was immaculate. The dining area was nice and since we didn't have a reservation, we sat near the entrance which was a bit painful with people walking through a lot. Food: I would have given this place five stars however, the food was good but missing something. I ordered Linguine Carbonara. It was good but seemed to be lacking in richness. Don't get me wrong, it was good but not as cheesy and creamy as I would have liked. Also, the bacon was good but lacking in flavor. My wife ordered linguine with clams. She thought it was great, simple and flavorful. She is not a big fan of Italian food but she enjoyed it. Service: Our server was great. Very nice and friendly. The host was nice and polite but seemed a bit in a hurry and not warm but again he was friendly. I will definitely go back. The pizza looked good and all the pasta options sounded good except the seafood options since I don't like seafood. read more

We found this restaurant because it's really close to our house so that's really convenient. We brought our infant with us and the staff quickly welcomed us and offered accommodations for our baby for our table. The host and our server were both very friendly and were able to answer any questions we had about the menu. We tried octopus for the first time for our appetizer and it was delicious! Our entrees were amazing too! You can taste that it's homemade just like the menu states. We will definitely be returning! read more

Service was good and the food very tasty. I wanted gnocchi and have to say that they were excellent. I would definitely go back.

This place is amazing!! First thing you see as you walk in is a big brick oven pizza, the smell was amazing. On our first day in Florida, we happen to stumble on this places not knowing what to expect. We came in jet lagged and tired, the waiter was amazing and helped us order some amazing meals. Their Chicken Marsala was amazing and so was the pizza and pasta all made fresh in house. This place was so good we came back on our last night in Florida and we were still amazed on how good the food and desserts were here. Definitely recommend to anyone. read more

We went here on a weekend night. We did not have to wait for a table. Our server was excellent She did a great job. The restaurant is noisy. It is tight on seating and can get a bit loud. The wine was good. The pizza was delicious. The dessert was frozen in the middle. I don't think it was made in house. read more

I ordered a few take out apps to check this place out and here are my findings. Let me start with the good, the bruschetta was great, flavorful and delicious the only thing missing was fresh basil, added some I picked from the garden and it was perfect!! The calamari was slightly overcooked and rubbery. The breading was spot on along with the gravy used as dipping sauce, I give them credit for that. The tripe left much to be desired though. Again gravy was spot on but the tripe was not prepped the right way. I have been cooking and eating tripe since I was 16 years old. Tripe needs to be boiled for a minimum of 3-4 hours to loose the tripe "fishy" taste. Then cooked into the sauce and it takes the flavor of the sauce. Again the sauce/gravy was spot on just a little more prep time needed. Overall I would try this place again for some main courses, the gravy makes the meal and they are definitely doing something right there!! read more

The food here is hands down the most authentic delicious Italian food I have ever had. I travel the world and eat at many different restaurants and this place has everything from food to impeccable service and beautiful ambience. It is everything you would imagine if you were visiting Italy. It's a family run business that's been around for about 25 years. Their son Frankie makes a pizza that makes you want to eat more no matter how full you are. The fettuccine Alfredo is so creamy and cooked to perfection. Run to this gem of a restaurant! Can't wait to try more dishes. read more

We had a taste for pizza but wanted to try some place new so we saw Amici had wood fired pizza so we gave it a shot. We had mushroom and olive and it was amazing. It had great flavor, great crispy crust, and we'd definitely repeat. read more

Actually you can't go wrong with any of the food or vino. no advertisements only word of mouth advertising. Hi there if you love good Italian food. read more

Food was excellent we both had a veal dish Service was great Ambiance was nice. Only complaint is the house wine is corbet canyon the could up the wine choices!!!! read more

Happened upon this place driving back from Clearwater to Orlando, and glad we stopped! They seemed hesitant to seat us at first, which seemed odd to me for a party of only 2, 45 min before closing, but they did. Our waitress was sweet, but seemed a little flustered after a busy night. Sadly, they were out of soup, bread, and the beer I ordered, but brought us another side salad in place of the bread. We ordered a pizza and a veal dish (Capricciosa and Pizzaiola). They were kind enough to let me change the type of veal I ordered after I'd already ordered the dish! The pizza was absolutely divine - piping hot, crispy crust, lots of toppings. I was in pizza heaven! The veal dish was flavorful and exactly what I wanted. I would absolutely come back here! I wish we'd ordered one of their desserts, because the ones I saw at the next table over looked spectacular. read more

Ate here tonight for the first time and it was DELICIOUS! The service was great too. Had the cheese pizza YUM, linguine with white clam sauce & gnocchi in red sauce. The clam sauce was my fav.....so good I was wearing it when I left. I also recommend the house made balsamic dressing on the salads. read more

5 stars on the food and service from Sherri. Food and wine were flowing and a great delicious time was had by all....until Donna. Donna was unappetizing upon arrival and unappetizing prior to departure. Debating a return. read more

I travel a lot. I came here and there was a 15 minute or so. wait... The host brought me a complimentary glass of wine... Had an excellent veal Florentine, with spinach, fresh sauce, and excellent bread. Highly recommend this place! read more

Very yummy family owned Italian restaurant! Pizza to pasta is delicious! Only open for dinner which is a bummer. Definitely give it a try. read more

Best meal we had on vacation. Everything was incredible, from the service to the food! Our group ordered a little bit of everything on the menu and it all was perfection. read more

Great food and superlative service. This family owned restaurant is cozy and welcoming. The food is traditional provincial Italian cooking - which is exactly what we were craving. Our waiter was the best- Eryis was as professional as they come. His recommendations were perfect. We'll be back. Reminded me of NY neighborhood Italian- my favorite. read more

Our family have been Huge fans of Amici's for years now!!! Carm and his wife Anna treat you like family!! The food is Fantastic, the service is second to none!! By far, the BEST Carbonara anywhere from the east coast all the way to California!!! Not a bad dish on the menu!! The pizzas are Great too!! The Desserts are Yummy!!! I highly recommend Amici's. You will Not be disappointed. read more

Excellent food and service. Definitely going back soon. I had the special pasta with truffle sauce and it melted in my mouth.

Service was great! The food was amazing! They gave us a slice of pizza while waiting and it was fantastic! Going back a second time before our vacation ends! read more

Came here off a recommendation and right away the owner was super friendly when walking in. It's located in a strip plaza but don't let that turn you away. We came late on a Wednesday night so we were seated right away. My friend had ordered the special of the day: spinach gnocchi in a rośe sauce (half marinara and half Alfredo). I ordered the butterflied shrimp pasta in a butter, garlic, lemon, white wine sauce. Both entrées were absolutely delicious! You can actually see the pieces of garlic in the sauce which I loved, I am a huge garlic fan! I had to deduct a star for one reason, they left the tails on the shrimp which were breaded and fried. It was messy trying to cut the tails off so this is why I did not give five stars. When I go to a nice Italian restaurant I expect them to cut my tails off for me. They both came with soup or salad and bread with olive oil. My friend had the minestrone soup and I had the house salad. The salad dressings are in house made and were very good. I tried both the Cesar in the creamy balsamic. My friend ordered a piece of tiramisu to go so I did not get to try that. She also ordered a Coke to drink and they brought out a Coke can with a glass of ice which I found odd. This must mean that they don't give free refills on soda because they bring you a can of soda. Bottom line the food was really good minus the quirks. I would come again. read more

Have been eating here for years. Always great food. Would love to see an updated menu.

Didn't get the right side dish that i ordered. Food isn't worth the price. Wouldn't order again.

Food was very good. Place looks authentic Italian. Noticed a lot of locals, always a good sign. Recommend bar area if eating alone or on date night. read more

The food tastes very very good. I just wish it wasn't as expensive for the portions they give especially.

I wanted to love this place but honestly it was meh. I called and made 7:30 reservations for 2 as l heard they are busy. When we arrived, the hostess put my name on a list and said they would get to my reservation when they could. What? 30min later we were seated. The wait staff was short as they literally were running like chickens. Our waiter came over 15min later to take a drink order. By this time we just ordered everything since we weren't sure when he would come back. Grace the busser is a gem and kept refilling waters and clearing dishes. Bruschetta was missing basil. It was relatively bland. My Veal Pizzaiola was so heavy handed in Oregano that it was difficult to eat- spinach helped. Shrimp scampi was lacking garlic flavor. I believe they overcook the sauces and do not allow the garlic essence to come through. I would never eat in again unless they fix their reservation policy. Didn't get our meals until 9pm and they close at 930pm. No time for dessert. read more

I rarely rate 5-Star. But this was a close one -- hear me out, ok? I had the Quattro Formaggi pizza, fried calamari, cappuccino and tiramisu. My rating is for the presentation of the place and the pizza. That cheese -- for those that don't know, the name means "Four Cheeses" -- touched my soul. It has been a very long time since I have had cheese on a pizza as good as that. The capuccino and tiramisu were good, but not the highlight of the night (we did enjoy it though)! read more

Great food and great service. We had gone to this restaurant a couple year ago and our service was very poor. Took half hour to get a cocktail and our dinner was an even longer wait. We understand that the restaurant has a new owner and it is one great place to go. Like i said their food is great. Try it you will love it. read more

This place is delicious - reminds me of the food I've had in Italy, its really authentic. The staff and owners are also great too! Definitely give it a try. + the have yummy gluten free options! read more

This is a fantastic scratch Italian kitchen to impress your out of town guests who assume that this area is all about the Olive Garden!! More of a 4.5 stars with their homemade soups, delectable sauces and one of the best Eggplant Parmesan meals you can find in the Bay Area! You will not be disappointed with your decision to spend your hard earned money on their delicious Italian delicacies! read more

This was our second option the night we ate here, but so glad we did. Food was superb, and since I don't often splurge and eat pasta, I want it to be great. I have to say my vodka penne was perfect. The pasta was cooked perfectly and all sauces are made to order. We also tried the formaggio pizza and it was delightful. Our waiter was super attentive. read more

Excellent made to order Italian food. Ingredients are fresh and consistently prepared which is important when you have a taste for a dish. The pizza is balanced with the right amount of toppings on light dough. The eggplant rollatini is one of my favorites and with a salad is dinner. We have tried many entrees and enjoyed them all with guests who also enjoyed the food and experience. Wait staff is knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. read more

Thought we'd give this local place a try. The pasta was ok, but I should of had the pizza, they have a really nice brick oven.The service was ok, the waiters tend to be a bit overwhelmed and the dining area is very loud and noisy. Will try the pizza take out next time. Cheers! read more

Went for our anniversary and it was such a great place. The service was amazing and the food was fantastic!

Make reservations as the snowbirds are back! Excellent service! Pizza is awesome and everything on the menu is delicious! Veal and chicken parmigiana are my favorites followed closely by the marsala! read more

Chicken Marsala rt he owner was yelling so loud his phone it ruined our evening. No respect

Dealing with a heavily restricted diet due to a temporary (I hope!) situation can be challenging. I like challenges. I can eat 1/2 a cup of food at a sitting and it has to be soft like overcooked pasta. I decided to try the lasagna here and it was proper Italian-American style. A huge portion, which I subsequently leveraged for six meals! Our service was friendly and charming and we enjoyed the whole experience although I had to explain why I only ate a few bites and took the rest to go. read more

This was our third time eating dinner here at Amici. First off, we noticed how clean the restaurant is. Sometimes with Italian restaurants you'll see dried spaghetti sauce on the walls - yuck. The second thing we noticed was how friendly the restaurant staff is. That's why we love neighborhood small businesses so much. It's obvious that they care that you have a great meal here. We also liked how they had a varied menu - you can have pizza or a regular Italian meal or just a salad and an appetizer if you want lighter fare. The iced tea is pretty good and reasonably priced. With our meal they provided us with some delicious Italian bread. We loved it! It's obvious the folks at Amici care about their customers. We look forward to coming back. read more

Excellent food and the servers are so nice! Love this place. My favorite is the Marsala but everything is good and good selection of wine.
