Homemade pasta is fantastic! Service outstanding. Everything wonderful. Can't wsit to go back!

Five of us visited for dinner on a Saturday evening for my Aunt's 80 something birthday! We had such a great time -- the food was delicious; the staff was very friendly and the restaurant itself has such a nice vibe. From appetizers to dessert...everything was above and beyond. My Aunt commented that she hasn't had that nice of a time in awhile! Of course, it could've been all the wine we brought (BYOB)!!! Great restaurant! read more

Food was delicious and portions just right. Homemade spaghetti was a treat and salad Amici excellent. The best thing, however, was the service and interest in our satisfaction. The owner, Joe, came out of the kitchen to welcome us after we told our waitress that we had detoured a bit on our road trip to try the place. SO glad we stopped read more

My group of 5 from out of state found Amici Italian Grille on Yelp tonight and had an enjoyable meal and a pleasant dining experience. We ordered a variety of appetizers and entrees that were very tasty including spicy calamari, shrimp fra diavolo, eggplant rollatini and chicken parmigiana. The staff were very friendly and attentive. During dinner we found out that new owners have taken over this summer and retained the previous service and kitchen staff. They encourage BYOB since they don't have a liquor license. Definitely worth trying. read more

Great service and delicious dinner. Gnocchi, butternit squash ravioli and homemade spaghetti all well done. Tiramisu, apple pie, and roce pudding desserts were amazing! read more

We had an absolutely fantastic night here! The waitress informed us that things may be slow because they had several large parties, but all our our food was both delicious and prompt. We had the fried mozzarella, seafood manicotti (with homemade crepes!!) and the homemade tiramisu. Will 100% be back! read more

Mixed thoughts, but more positive. After working in Berwick for years, finally heard of this place and it came highly recommended. Looked on yelp to see pictures of the menus that were 6 years old, so we assumed the prices were outdated. This place is BYOB, so that is a huge plus for our group. So, our group, 7 of us this time, made reservations on a Wednesday evening, early, and we brought our wine. One of our friends is a culinary instructor so its always fun to dine with him. Our initial thoughts upon entering were excited. Lovely look and decor and the way tables were arranged was great. Server brought our wine glasses and opened our wine and we enjoyed that while looking at the menu. Everyone's reaction to the menu was that of dis-belief! The prices being so, so reasonable. However, we came to learn why that is. It is due to the very "reasonable' portion sizes. Having dined in so many restaurants all over the world, I would say that if they doubled the size of their portions, the prices of the entrees would then be more in line with any other average restaurant. The group ordered a variety of things and we all shared our ratings with each other. First some ordered appetizers. Wedding soup which all enjoyed, felt the stock was homemade, but not served hot enough. One calamari, again, not hot enough, a bit on the soggy side and a super small portion for the $8. On entrees, one gal ordered a veal dish and said the veal was tough and chewy and the pasta sauce was nothing special, she gave the evening an overall rating of 7. This came from a woman who has been cooking Italian for over 5 decades. Another gal had the shrimp scampi, she LOVED it and gave a rating of 9, (this woman rarely cooks, lol) and she loves anything shrimp. Our chef and another gentleman had the fra diavlo. They both rated their dishes an 8, mostly critiquing the fact that meals aren't served hot enough and thats a big negative. Another gent had the seafood manicotti and rated it about a high 7, saying it was good, but could have been much better, not having a lot of seafood flavor and definetley not served hot enough. I had the eggplant rolotini and a side of the home made pasta. The rolotini was good, but once again, when they serve them in the ovenproof dishes, I expect the dish to come out searing hot and bubbling. The pasta was good but I should have asked for the sauce on the side because I don't care for pasta to be drowned in sauce. The sauce was good, didn't appear to be right out of a can. I make my own incredible sauce so its hard for me to be too ecstatic over others, but the sauce was good, a little sweet though. The pasta had a nice chew. I rated the evening a 7.5. Overall, the entire group agreed that food was overall very good. O the down side, service was super, super slow. We arrived at 5:30 but didn't get served till almost 1hour and 15 minutes later. And more important everyone had the same issue with their meals, definetley not served hot enough. They serve complimentary bread which was just plain Italian bread, nothing at all special. I would like to see that beefed up to some really hearty garlic knot or baguette type of bread. Although portion sizes reflect the prices, it was more than likely the size we all should be eating. Again, bringing your own wine gives you the freedom to bring what you love and not pay inflated prices for liquor in a restaurant. One more thing I noticed upon entering is that the state they charge a surcharge if you use a credit card. It is just my opinion, but I think that is the cost of doing business and should be absorbed by the business, not the customer. Knowing this, we all need to revert to having cash in our wallets and stop depending on credit cards. We will surely return, but next time, we will be more educated in what to order. read more

We love visiting when we go back home. We were regulars and my husband even has his own dish that the waitresses remember. Ask for the basaltic glaze for your bread. You won't be disappointed. read more

Sorry to post such a negative review, and hope that the following information is helpful in explaining what did not go well for us that night. Let's start with the pluses: establishment was clean, fair amount of street parking, BYOB policy only required a $2 corkage fee, Pam our waitress was among the best in memory, freshly made coffee, and tasty tiramisu. We started, in lieu of garlic bread, with the Margherita Pizza 6 Cut Pizza, for which the menu reads, "Tomato sauce with fresh mozzarella, basil", ($7). The pizza is not homemade but rather purchased from another company - then a piece of fresh mozzarella and a basil leaf is added to each square "cut", and the "pizza" heated. The crust tasted of freezer, the sauce bland, and this appetizer was highly disappointing - we asked for the remaining four slices to be boxed up to take with us, but never ate anymore of it. We didn't think that we should have had to ask the restaurant if the pizza was homemade or store bought, as nothing on the menu indicates that the pizza is storebought / premade (other parts of the menu indicate that there is an upcharge for homemade pasta / gnocchi). Total waste of money and was a predictor of the rest of the meal to follow. We each had a small tossed salad of "Lettuce and Tomato", with the "House made Red Wine Vinegar" dressing. Salad was romaine, and the dressing taste was so strongly red vinegary without any attempt to balance it re: olive oil, sugar, salt, pepper, etc. so that your tongue hurt from the highly prominent acetic acid. A bargain at $2 perhaps with one of the other dressings offered (Ranch, Blue Cheese or French), but the red vinegar was highly off putting. We were very hungry re: the "pizza" fiasco, so we ate most of our salads. We each chose an entree from the Classic Dinners: "All dinners are served with a side of pasta ($.50 extra for homemade) or a starch and vegetable of the day". My spouse chose to have homemade gnocchi with "Shrimp Scampi Sauteed with Garlic, White wine, Lemon, Butter and Herbs $11.50." I also selected homemade gnocchi, with the "Shrimp Fra Diavolo Jumbo Shrimp tossed with in a Spicy Marinara Sauce $11.50". Each dish disappointed on many levels. 1) The large portions of gnocchi appeared to be a poorly prepared frozen store bought variety instead of homemade, as each dense and flavorless leaden pellet was uniform in size and markings - quality hand/home-gnocchi's carry the trademarks of beautiful, pillowy clouds of dough and cheese that accomplished chefs serve at their restaurants (or good home cooks serve at home) that vary somewhat in size and shape due to the handrolling and cutting process. 2) There were but a few (5-6) mediumish-large sized shrimp (we felt these were not "Jumbo" shrimp like we buy / use; it wasn't a problem that the shrimp were previously frozen), and were so mistreated that there was no visually nor tastebud appetizing sear or pink color, but instead a pasty white interior / exterior accompanying a leaden wateryness absent of any even average shrimp flavor. Maybe the kitchen pre- and over-boiled the shrimp, and then added them to the dish? 3) My partner's scampi sauce clearly lacked flavors - where were the garlic, wine, butter, and herb notes in the traditional taste symphony? 4) My spicy marinara sauce was good, but the kitchen needed to make sure that it cooked the garlic through so that future customers wouldn't get the offputting bites of semi-raw garlic in the sauce. I note that neither of us came anywhere close to finishing out respective main course. We each thought that the tiramisu ($3) was good and light. The accompanying coffee ($1.25) was freshly made and a good accompaniment. Throughout the meal service was affable, attentive, and accommodating. One note: when we mentioned that we were done with the pizza, our server asked if it was ok to bring forward the main course, and came right out with it - which begs the question, how long had the shrimp and pasta dishes been sitting before we got them? Pam our server listened attentively to our numerous concerns about the food, and the restaurant credited the cost of a tiramisu (while giving us one free due to a birthday) because we didn't like the food. There are other food choices that are offered: pasta dishes, parmigiana entrees, chicken fingers. Maybe some of those are better than what we had, one can hope. However, on the special occasion night that we dined, the food was anything but special. We wish the restaurant and Pam our server well. read more

What a hidden gem! They have really weird hours here, so we've always had a hard time coming here.... But it's so worth it. They have homemade pasta which is amazing, and honestly anything we've ever had from here was just amazing! I really like the fact its BYOB because a lot of Italian places just don't have a great wine selection anyway because of the overhead. I can bring good wine and annoy it with a great Italian meal. I wish they had more open hours because we would go all the time! read more

Food was very good. We both had shrimp with our meals. The shrimp was very good. Mine was supposed to be spicy...it was and was good. Alfredo isn't on the menu, we asked if they had for our daughter and she said yeah we can make that, they need to put that on the menu because it was great. read more

Great place food and service was Awesome ! Prices very reasonable. Amici clam soup was the best.

Homemade pasta, kids spaghetti and meatballs, great atmosphere and very pleasant staff. I was almost immediately turned off when we walked in the door and there was no hostess but i heard people in the back. I'm glad i stayed! read more

Wow! Where do I start? It's too bad I can only give up to five stars, because if I had my way I would give this restaurant a hundred and twenty five stars. This is one of the best Italian restaurants in Pennsylvania. It might be one of the best Italian restaurants in the Country. I mean that sincerely. The service was outstanding. The owner and the staff were very friendly. I have never had better service anywhere. As for the cuisine, the salad was fresh and crisp. The homemade house dressing was well crafted and contained the perfect combination of oil and spices. The appetizers were awesome. Our appetizers included fried cheese, mushrooms, chicken fingers, spicy calamari, and meatball/Italian sausage parmigiana. Our main courses were chicken parmigiana, shrimp scampi, gnocchi, veal parmigiana, and lobster ravioli. Our deserts were tiramisu and filled when ordered cannoli. Everything and I mean everything was homemade. Ever had hand rolled homemade pasta? The difference is amazing. Now for the game changer. 4 appetizers, 6 homemade entrees, and three deserts = $125. I did not type that incorrectly ONE HUDRED TWENTY FIVE BUCKS! Eat here often my friends you won't be disappointed or go broke. This place is a gem. read more

Had the pleasure of going here for a birthday dinner with my daughter and family!! Absolutely the best !! Great atmosphere , amazing food, and excellent staff.. can't wait to go back! read more

We stumbled across this place on our way north. Busy night and they were very short on help! But.... the girl working killed it. She was running all over the place making sure everyone had everything they need. There was no wait and the food was delicious! She had a party of 18 and still kept up with all of us little tables! I would definitely recommend this place! Very friendly service and great food! read more

Cutest restaurant. Food was great. It's BYOB with a small corking fee. Would recommend making a reservation.

My husband noticed this new restaurant in our town and has been wanting to try it out. It was exactly what our area needed! The food was delicious. The portions were good sized and the atmosphere was wonderful! Will definitely be back. read more

Very nice atmosphere, however, service was very slow. Stuffed mushrooms didn't have much flavor. Cost for a salad was $7 and not much to it.
