-- South Reno Finally Has Its Living Room Amici Pizzeria & Bar arrived at Damonte Ranch Town Center like the neighborhood didn't know what it was missing -- and it was right. Stepping into the space on Steamboat Parkway, you're immediately struck by how confidently it walks the line between Italian trattoria warmth and spirited local bar energy. It doesn't feel like a concept. It feels like a place. I started with the elite Mammi's meatballs whic are a genuine flex: dense, herb-forward, swimming in house-made marinara that tastes like it's been going since morning. Order them. The pizzas are the main event and deserve to be. Amici offers both New York and deep dish styles, which is an ambitious dual commitment that they pull off. The Honey Heat Wave -- spicy vodka sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, pepperoni, finished with a hot honey drizzle -- is the standout signature. It's sweet, spicy, and rich all at once, and it works. The Sweet Burn is for heat seekers who want to test the kitchen's conviction. Both are worth the calories. On the entrees side, I had the Cajun Chicken Alfredo and it is a legitimate crowd-pleaser: blackened chicken, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes in a cajun parmesan cream over fettuccine. It punches well above what you'd expect from a neighborhood bar. The bar program is more thoughtful than it needs to be, which is exactly the right instinct. Craft cocktails, Italian aperitivos, local drafts, and a curated wine list round out an offering that encourages you to stay longer than you planned. You will stay longer than you planned. If there's a word for Amici, it's genuine. This isn't a franchise playbook or a safe pivot -- it's a neighborhood place with a kitchen that respects the food and a floor staff that seems to actually enjoy being there. In a market where "Italian" too often means mediocre pasta and a Chianti you didn't ask for, Amici is a welcome arrival. South Reno needed this. Go find out why read more

We just finished eating our pizza at home. It was delicious! Perfectly cooked. Sauce was not acidic. Sausage and mushrooms were perfect! We each had a beer at the bar while we waited less than a half hour for our pizza. Zach was great (the bar keep). Friendly, personable, attentive! We can't wait to go back for a dinner meal to eat in house. read more

I am so incredibly disappointed. We were really looking forward to having a new pizza place to add to our rotation, but unfortunately, we won't be returning. We ordered three pizzas: the Heavy Hitter, the Honey Heat Wave, and a deep dish BBQ Chicken pizza. The New York-style pizzas were the biggest disappointment. The crust was hard, dry, and completely flavorless. My jaw is actually sore from chewing it, and I could only make myself eat half of each slice. The deep dish BBQ Chicken pizza had one positive, the crust was soft. Unfortunately, that was about the only thing I enjoyed. It was seriously lacking flavor. The BBQ sauce was sweet but didn't have much actual barbecue taste, and the chicken was incredibly dry. I managed three bites before giving up. Spending over $100 on dinner only to end up with pizza that no one wants to eat is incredibly disappointing. We have so much left over, and honestly, none of us wants to eat it. What a waste. read more

Came to Amici on Father's Day based on a fellow Elite Yelper's video review. It was busy, as expected, but we were seated immediately. The first thing I noticed was the variety of the menu. There were several items all of us wanted to try, which is always a great sign. Here is what we decided to order... The Chicken Parmn sandwhich, it was huge (big enough to share) and cooked to a perfect golden crisp. It was incredibly tender, juicy, and smothered in a flavorful marinara sauce with perfectly melted cheese. Animal Smash, holy cow it was ginormous! We could barely bite into it, but it was absolutely scrumptious. Chicken Piccata with Pasta, perfectly executed with a wonderfully bright, savory, and tangy sauce that paired beautifully with the pasta The meal took some some ti.e to come out but the sttaff handled the holiday rush wellespeciallyconsideringthis was their first holiday. Overall, it completely lived up to the video review hype and we'll definitely be back to try the rest of the items on our wishlist! read more

We tried a new place for happy hour. Loved the ambiance and the service was spot on! Our server even gave our party of six separate checks. We had the honey heat wave pizza which had a kick and a white pizza. My lemon drop martini was delicious! The best in town! I believe the secret might be the fresh lemon curd. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Love this new addition to South Reno. There were 5 of us and we all throughly enjoyed the entire experience. We shared the large Honey Heat Wave Pizza and the White Pizza. Both were excellent and even with 5 people, we had plenty of leftovers. Delicious. They have a full bar so something for everyone! The location is the former Lampost Pizza bit they have completely remodeled inside with a beautiful modern decor. Service was attentive and our waitress was super helpful. She even split our checks for us which is a huge bonus to us when planning a girls night out! We all agreed this may just be our new favorite here in South Reno. read more

I used to come here regularly when it was Lamppost-cheap pizza and basic beer on tap but a locals hang out. I went today and so much better!!!! The remodel is great! Love being there now. Not gross at all. I sat in the bar area-like I did when it was the old place "Lamppost" and the service was so so good! We closed our tab and decided to stay and our bartender still checked in! Thank you Zack! Great service!! The pizza-better! Much better ingredients but the deep dish was so dry that it cut the roof of my mouth like Captain Crunch cereal when I was a kid. We asked for extra sauce to help and it did help but not enough. I will go back and try the regular pizza because it was a great time. read more

A new restaurant opened in the old Lamppost Pizza location and what a gorgeous difference. Large TV screens perfect for World Cup viewing are on both sides of the restaurant with booths conveniently turned towards them. The lighting is pretty cool and adds to the modern ambiance. We enjoyed Penne Ala Vodka which was delicately creamy and melt-in-your-mouth perfectly cooked penne. The Parmesan note was well balanced, but something could have made it even better. Perhaps an addition of fresh pepper? We tried a build your own pizza -- pepperoni and jalapeños. You can see how perfectly the pepperoni crisped up. The sauce to cheese ratio was perfect and the crust was crispy and thin yet held the toppings. The service was fast and friendly. They were always checking for refills (water and Diet Pepsi). We definitely plan to return and try some of the other entrees and pizzas. read more

This was my first time here since they opened and I really like how they updated the space! It is really cute inside with good vibes, good food and we had a great server. Our group ordered two pizzas and shared and it was perfect. I will definitely be going back. Also the lemon drop martinis were really good and better than most. read more

Opening Day! No reservation---walked in w party of three; seated immediately by member of ownership team. Water and beverage orders taken shortly after seating/menus. Food was served to order in about 20 mins but was worth waiting for. Honey drizzle and ricotta on My pizza was done 'just right'. House-made pizza crust and house sauce were terrific! Scampi and Marsala were really well presented and satisfying. Server and management checked back often. Opening day? A mainstay! read more

Amazing food! The decor is fantastic and I love the remodel. The service was fantastic. We had Lauren and Katelynn were awesome. The pizza was a thin crust New York style on an excellent oven with a perfect crust. Our kids had a great time outside. And it's dog friendly on the patio. read more

We ordered a cheese and a pepperoni pizza for pickup on a busy Sunday. Because we ate a bit past our usual dinner time, the hungry kids grabbed a slice of each before I could take a photo! The pizzas themselves were pretty good, though the pickup experience could have been better--we waited for quite a while at the counter even though the restaurant wasn't busy. That said, I looked over the menu while waiting and saw several items I'd love to try. Next time, I think we'll opt for a dine-in experience instead of takeout. read more

Tried Amici's with friends on a Friday at dinner time, so a wait was expected. The hostess quoted us 30 minutes, no problem. I gave her my name and number to call when our table was ready and mentioned we'd be next door at Brass Tap for a drink in the meantime (not sure why we couldn't just grab a drink in their own bar while waiting, but that didn't seem to be an option). One drink later, we were creeping up on 40 minutes with no call or text. We walked back over and I checked in with a different hostess, only to find my name crossed off the list with "no show" written next to it. When I asked why I never got a call or text, I was told they'd called my name out, in the restaurant, apparently, instead of actually calling my phone. To her credit, the hostess apologized for the mix-up and got us seated right away. Once seated, we were pleasantly surprised. The chairs were large, deceptively comfortable, and the right height for the table. The atmosphere was great too, a relaxed, comfortable vibe that's a big improvement over what used to occupy the space. Our waitress was clearly slammed; by the time she came over to say hello, we'd already had time to settle on drinks and food. We started with calamari for the table, solid breading, well done. But the real standout was the sauce that came with it. Not your traditional aioli, this was warm and absolutely outstanding alongside the calamari. Then two custom pizzas: a regular and a deep dish, split to accommodate a vegetarian in the group. Both came out as ordered and were good. Our friends are from Chicago, though, so they have very strong opinions on what pizza should be. (LOL) Overall, a good experience. There's room to improve on how they manage check-ins on busy nights, and service was a bit slow on the small requests. But the food and atmosphere were strong enough that we'll be back to give it another shot. read more

Delicious food! The pizzas, pastas, sandwiches. Everything we tried was excellent. I especially like the lemoncello spritz. Portions are large so haven't been able to try dessert yet. Next time. read more

Fantastic ambiance! Loved all the club chairs, lower tables, and sports screens everywhere. Beautiful glass light feature right when you walk in! They kept the same bar layout as Lampost had, but everything else is completely different layout and fancy and swanky. My family came in a Friday night the week they opened. Husband got the animal burger, he loves it. Kids for the large spicy pizza and they liked it. I had a personal sized artichoke and chicken pizza, it was ok. Not many pizza options, unless getting the regular sized combos (No white sauce, no gluten free pizza, no anchovies) but I'll definitely come again and try something else. read more

My new favorite spot! The decor is fresh and upscale, great remodel of the old lamp post pizza that originally occupied the spot. The bar area is brighter which I like. My friend and I had an incredible meal! We had the artichoke appetizer, it was a huge artichoke halved, and roasted with Parmesan and a great garlic aioli. She had the chicken Parmesan sandwich which was a double decker. Yummy sauce and the best mozzarella! Side of onion rings... spot on. I had the rib eye steak which was perfectly cooked, red skinned mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables.. So good! I can't wait to go back and try the hot honey pizza the staff was attentive and friendly with lots of great suggestions! See you all again soon. read more

Checked out our new pizza / bar in So Reno and it's so good. The ambiance has great upscale vibe with a lounge area with big chairs, nice patio and indoor seating area and well as a bar/ gaming area. My tween daughters loved the music playing. We had pizzas and Cesar salad. the pizza crust was so crisp, flavorful, and really tasted fresh. The salad had a good flavor and was a good size for a single serving. Our table neighbors order a few desserts and they looked amazing, we definitely need to save room next time. Food presentation of the dishes I saw were really appealing. The service was attentive and their staff seemed fun. We are definitely going back for the dinner entrees and desserts. read more

Brand new, locally owned, really excited to try it. Here's how my experience went: The staff was all really nice and inviting. The owner who was there was very active and greeting guests. The food was just ok. The salad was nothing special. The pizza crust was tasteless and very thin. So thin, the toppings just slid off when I picked up a piece. I love eating the crust and this crust, I just didn't want to. There's better pizza around, but could totally see coming here and having a drink with friends. read more

The dough is flavorless. It's missing something. The pepperoni didn't get dark crust edges but had a good cheese pull. Also had the meatball appetizer with garlic bread. The red sauce was pretty good. read more

Great Father's Day experience for lunch. They took over the spot fomerly Lamp Post pizza. What an improvement. Great seating, big screens, soft lighting. Service was on point. We ordered Chicken Parm, pizza, Cabrese salad and sliders (yes, sliders). Food was excellent, nice portions, pizza was a little doughy but now I know to ask for "crispy". We were visited by one of the partners, Tory(?) who shared some homemade Limoncello, it was excellent. So close to our home, will definitely be back. Note: they do have gaming in a separate bar area and I think it was non -smoking but we did not enter that section so, not sure. read more

Friends, if you are like my husband and I and you haven't been to the Old Lampost Pizza location since your kids graduated middle school you need to check it out! The reno they did was exactly what it needed. The ambiance is great, no more cafeteria style dining. The food was great both times! I've been twice in two days, once with my momma for pasta and had to bring hubby back tonight to try the pizza. Both times the food and the service were great! Even hubs noticed how great the servers were at working as a team and helping each other out and paying attention to the fact that we might need an extra plate. read more

We went to Amici Pizzeria & Bar the second day open on a Saturday and we had a great experience. The food, the ambiance and the staff were great. We were greeted first thing when we walked in, immediately seated and we were given menus and asked if we'd like to start with some drinks. The kids shared a medium jalapeño and pepperoni pizza that was delicious, my wife got her own personal artichoke pizza that was cook to perfection and I just had to try the Animal Smash Burger and it was cooked on point to medium rare as I had asked, a nice char and the toppings were delicious. None of us were able to finish our meals so we got to take them home and have a second dinner later, lol. I believe the gentleman who checked up on us was the owner and he was very welcoming and made us feel at home. Our waitress was super attentive and never left us for want. I would like to see white sauce pizzas in the future, but other than that, there's plenty of options for pizza, burgers, sandwiches, steaks and pasta. I highly recommend you give this place a try. read more

First time patrons. The renovation is really nice, yet casual. Our server was really nice and helpful and the food was very good. We had the chicken parmesan and the smash burger. Both were very good and fresh. The chicken parm can have different sides or pasta sides. We chose the rigatoni bolognese which was good as well. Prices are right in the middle and they have an extensive drink menu. We will be back for sure. read more

What a fantastic dining experience! The grilled artichoke was absolutely delicious and a perfect way to start the meal. Amici's offers a great selection of cocktails, beers and wines. The homemade limoncello was a wonderful treat to finish the evening. The pizza was great, with a perfectly cooked crust that had just the right balance of crispness and chew. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The owner was circulating, making sure everything was first class. Combined with the beautiful décor and warm, inviting atmosphere, the restaurant has a great vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy the experience. We will definitely be back! read more

Great ambiance and service delicious pizza the lemon drop was the highlight I am recommending the honey heat wave pizza

Pizza was horrible!!! Save your money go to dominoes or papa John's. Crust was like cardboard. Definitely not worth the $30 charged. read more

Great food and service! Kaitlyn was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and had a wonderful attitude!

Katelyn was so sweet and great to have as a server at Amici. The chicken picatta was a little overcooked but the drinks were great. Ambiance has definitely eliminated the remnants of the Lampost Pizza that used to be here. Good place for a Thursday night dinner, especially if you get Katelyn. read more

Really good food and prices were super reasonable. Thin crust was super crispy and fresh. Caesar salad tasted good today. The people working the front door were super friendly and inviting and brought my food quickly. Next time, I plan to sit down there and eat. The interior was bright, but not overpowering. Definitely looks modern and fresh. I would definitely recommend! read more

I want to say Katlynn and Ethan are the best 5 star servers at our new South neighbor place for dinner. Our new favorite! Excellent service, terrific menu with lots of choices from the chef, great atmosphere! Love the fact the new owner Torey is walking around greeting and talking to the diners. Nice touch! Looking forward to their new place at the Summitt possibly in November. Great take out too! Another Amici! Highly recommend this restaurant. - 1-5 stars a 10 star. Try Amici ! The Hutchinson's! read more

We were excited to try this new pizza place. The hostess brought us to a table and then we were forgotten about. We got a couple of looks from wait staff and the hostess, but after 20 minutes of being ignored, we just decided to leave. We told the hostess as we left, and she absolutely could not have cared less. In fact, she almost appeared to be happy about it. I know this is a new place and they probably need to work out some kinks, but being kind to your guests is an easy A. I suppose we will give them a try another time. read more

This place is fantastic!! The hostess Chase was super friendly and our server Mikayla was superb! The food was amazing and we will be back.
