We made reservations for a large party (17 people) on 1/15/25, and Amici's did an amazing job providing excellent service, food, and ambiance! Our event was informal, but the table setting were beautiful, the pizzas were outstanding, and they had a gluten free option for guests who needed it. The servers were so kind and accommodating- we stayed three hours and they never rushed us. Thank you to all the staff for making our dinner so wonderful! read more

Amici Signature Italian - Upstairs at Amici's - Caterers Near Me

Whew! I have lived in the neighborhood for a minute and have always wanted to try this place. I ordered carry out, all the food was hot and seemed to be prepared fresh. My only complaint is that is was so bland, it lacked the flavors that I am used to tasting at Italian restaurants. This let me know that this was not authentic Italian food. I also had the spicy bbq wings, once again, flavorless. The Italian cream cake was bomb! My man loved the chocolate cake. I can give that to them for sure, but everything else was a flop. I wouldn't return, the service was good, food just wasn't it. @MissMo2323 read more

This is NO LONGER AMICI!! It is JOES PIZZA which has been around the Carrollton Addison Farmers Branch neighborhood for years. Amici's was a high end chef owned Italian restaurant. Joe's is a basic pizzeria with basic Italian dishes They should change the name to Joe's Joe's is a well recognized brand in the neighborhood. Continuing to call it Amici's is misleading. read more

The spaghetti was amazing!! I'm a mushroom guy so always going to love a spot with a good mushroom in their spaghetti. Ordered the spaghetti and fried mushrooms on the side. Definitely going to be one of my go to's!! Chef was a cool guy and made me feel super welcomed. Only thing I wish I would have changed would have been eating it there instead of to go!!! read more

I am honestly so disappointed in this restaurant the food was terrible I mean ever single thing i ordered was so bad , we ordered cucumber salad , it was dry with no flavor at all , veggie pizza was barley done and I had to add salt onto pizza , we also ordered chicken parm and it tasted like the meat was bad and the whole dish had no seasoning I have never in my life had food this bad , if you are looking for Italian food just go to olive garden this was a waste of time and money I can't believe they charged me after I expressed my did like for all of the food read more

Jimmy at Amici's is the best. We went for our first time, the atmosphere was great. The food was fantastic. The vibe is really good. It's cozy with music playing from the 50s. We will definitely be back. Lew read more

I was visiting the Dallas area over the weekend and stumbled upon this gem! I went during an off hour so the restaurant was quiet and relaxing when I went, but first thing I noticed was the lovely interior! It resembled a quaint Italian coffee shop and the waiter and hostess were very polite and attentive. On to the food, I got two cheese pizzas and one pepperoni. The crust was cooked to perfection and and the color of the cooked cheese and taste of the pizza did remind me of Joe's back in NYC. Last but not least, their ranch sauce was so delicious, which I believe is homemade but can't vouch for that. read more

We ordered bruschetta as a starter. Tasted great just a bit too garlicky. My fiancé ordered the Philly which was a little underwhelming, but it too tasted delicious. I ordered chicken parmigiana, and bit into a piece of glass. Most of our ticket was comped, and the servers were more than accommodating and kind. Definitely a nice place to eat, but we won't be returning. read more

Just a pizza shop. Amici Signature Italian is under new management and is now called Joe's Pizza at Amici. We visited based on the reviews and was very disappointed the taste and the menu selection. The menu listed here was not available (it is different... just one page).The service and ambiance were alright at best. No wine or coffee available here because like I said "It's a Pizza shop"... and not much pizza options also. The garlic cheese bread we ordered and the bun that came with our meal was freshly baked and was excellent. The chicken wings was dry and tasted like the sauce was just added on top. read more

Enjoying a delicious, made-from-scratch meal in an intimate setting is near impossible during a pandemic. So my partner and I thought, at least. Like many, we are operating with caution and it's really important to us that our restaurant of choice balances exquisite food and an intimate ambiance with a strong focus on social distancing and hygiene policies. Amici delivered this experience and much more when my partner and I visited for dinner last weekend. Let's start with the food. This place is as far from chain Italian as you can get. The Bruschetta is rich in flavor but light and fresh, tasting like the tomatoes were picked an hour before out of a Tuscany garden. As for main courses, the Beef Medallion Peppered Streak was well marbled, fell apart in my mouth, and was served with a shallot green peppercorn brandy cream sauce that I a) cleaned off my plate and b) want the recipe for! All pasta dishes are made from scratch with authentic Italian sauces that showcase the bountiful flavors of locally-sourced produce. Their take on simpler dishes is also exquisite. Try their hand-tossed eggplant pizza if you're looking for something more casual without sacrificing the flavors and textures of a home made pie. When it comes to desserts, Italian restaurants often have huge portions of bland, stodgy cheesecake slices or overly-sugary canolis. Not so at Amici. Everything feels a little more custom; from their chocolate bread pudding to the vanilla anglais that pairs with their decadent tiramisu, it's all done with love and an attention to carefully balancing flavors. We find that the perfect way to top off the meal is with an espresso brewed on the gorgeous vintage Italian machine that they have. It makes darn good espressos and also gives the place an added air of authenticity. These guys do curbside and catering, folks. So if you aren't ready to dive back into date nights, you can't go wrong taking it home with you. We couldn't bring ourselves to do that though since they have a wonderfully eclectic wine list (bottle or glass) to pair with the meal, as well as a full bar should you wish to sample a signature cocktail or two like their lemon drop martini or signature margarita. Simply put, Amici has allowed us to get some fine dining back in our lives without ever feeling uncomfortable or unsafe, and we're so thankful for that. Speaking of safety, we were wondering how an Italian restaurant would handle the increased hygiene and procedural requirements resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. The ambiance of an Italian restaurant is paramount to a good experience, and the sleek yet cozy decor of Amici has always been a major draw to us, so we were unsure of what to expect. During a global pandemic, our concerns for safety and hygiene are understandably much higher than usual, so to see Chef Bartolini and his staff strictly adhere to social distancing and face covering policies was a huge relief. It didn't stop Chef making us feel special, however. We've known Chef Bartolini for a while but that isn't important; he personally greets all guests warmly whether friend or stranger, and checks in with them a few times throughout the meal to ensure everything is exceeding expectation. A class act. In summary, we were immensely impressed. Like all small businesses, Amici needs our support right now and since our visit, we're putting it right back on our date night schedule where it belongs. We might even start dropping in to get our caffeinated beverages too. Don't get me started on their imported espresso machine and dedication to local coffee suppliers Thanks so much, Chef and team!! read more

Amici's is a cute, intimate restaurant on Carrollton square. We had a late dinner so parking was very easy. I ordered a wine and we got a cheesy bread which had an interesting twist on it. We enjoyed it. Dinner didn't take to long to come out. It was good but nothing extra special. It seemed like there was a lot of regulars here and it's best to make a reservation. The service was very good. I would suggest this restaurant for a romantic night out. read more

The flavor of the food was fine. I ordered the lasagna which was $12 and got a skimpy piece in a little boat dish. The flavor was fine though I left hungry. Wife got the Stromboli which was good and normal portion. The service was good, very attentive. My only complaint was the portion size didn't match the price. Would not order that again. read more

Nice smaller restaurant with a classy touch, great staff and service, good variety on menu. Food arrived hot and was delicious

Love this place. Food is outstanding, and the people that work there are the best. Pizzas are awesome but I love their lasagna

Super cute little Italian restaurant in downtown Carrollton. The service was top of the line, all of our food was delicious. Would recommend the funghi appetizer, it was my favorite thing on the menu. Overall 4.5/5 read more

I had the pleasure of lunching at Amichi a week ago. I was blown away. The quaint-feeling of the restaurant is blended with the beautiful decor. I love the juxtaposition of the historic restaurant/historic downtown with the upscale/high end experience. Lunch was awesome. Prices are a pleasant surprise for such an experience. It was such a great experience! read more

Very small place in downtown Carrollton. Setting is nice and quiet. Service was good, but they seemed a bit understaffed. The woman who waited on us was the owner and was very sweet, but she was handling 6 tables at once by herself. Food was delicious. We had the spicy sausage and spaghetti and mancotti with alfredo. They also provided complimentary garlic bread which was great as well. Recommend stopping by. read more

Cute little restaurant, nice atmosphere & great food. No liquor license, so don't forget to bring a nice bottle of wine like I did.

Love this place great food great service! Always know the experience is going to be to greet. Highly recommend

A great Italian meal before going to the Firehouse Theatre. I loved the Keto pizza which was nice with our own BYOB bottle of wine.

I love amici! This is the first visit since the fire. Wow! Now main area downstairs w a small full bar- Beer, Wine and Liquor :). Still an upstairs. Bathroom is fantastic - love the decor. Whole place presents fabulously!! Well done! Now to the food- flavored peach vanilla iced tea w a mint leaf ... Fresh bread... I ordered the chicken special: Chicken breast with ham and cheese atop creamy white sauce pasta spaghetti...DELISH!~ More than enough food so took some to go and sadly no dessert. I'll be back! this is a great business lunch stop...romantic dinner...or family...Small groups could be accommodated as well. Wonder if he'd rent the whole joint out for a smaller company gathering? Bellissimo!~~ read more

Best Lasagna I've had in a long time. We are so happy to find a small locally owned Italian restaurant. Situated in downtown Carrollton, this place gets a lot of things right. We stopped at 3 Nations brewing and found this to be a great choice for dinner. Our 16 yr old got the pepper steak (rare) and I had a bite. Very good! What a great find. We will def be back and the style of the inside reminded me of the scene with the proposal, and Aurelia. And they had creative social distancing standees. read more

Amici Signature Italian - Veal Scaloppini. - Caterers Near Me

Amici is a pretty nice spot to visit if you're in the Old Historic Downtown Carrollton area~ I do have to say that the price tag is a bit high for what you get in terms of portions, but it did seem like all of my veggies and my sauce were fresh. I enjoy the romantic atmosphere, especially visiting at 7pm after work to see it wasn't too long of a line despite the good ratings. I ordered the Primavera and personally I think I would try another dish next time. I did enjoy the bechamel sauce (my first time trying) but I had to coat it in parmesan for more of a flavor. It needed a bit more seasoning for me, but it was still a flavorful dish. read more

You'd be hard pressed to find a better spot for a date night. A boutique kind of eatery, the service is very friendly and personable. Everything we ordered from the bruscetta to the pasta and seafood was prepared carefully and with quality ingredients. It was also plated beautifully. Their wine selection is solid, too, with fair prices. Amici gets it right. The perfect balance of all things decor, service, and food. It's not cheap, but if you're looking for a bargain this probably isn't your spot. A fresh and lovely contribution to Carrolton. If you've got a special occasion and take a liking to Italian, this is the finest rendition in the area. read more

The yelp menu is not correct. The place is pizza and pasta so should not be ranked high as Italian. Cute place but not what it is made out to be. read more

I waited 30 minutes for garbage? They tried hard to make the food look pretty, and I gotta say, the taste is GARBAGE, I would 100000% rather eat a Party Pizza then a $15 Margarita Pizza from their. I mean, it looks ok when u enter, and then u see how awkward the placement of everything is and the eerie quietness of nothing happening gets to you. This place sucks, save yourself a lot of money and disappointment by going to Twisted Root, that is the best restaurant in the area. read more

I have always had a thing for this place ever since I first tasted Amici's food at a catered event. Coming here though brought a whole new dimension to it. This is a first class place and the perfect "date place". It is romantic and charming and the perfect setting for a great evening dinner. They have a variety of dishes, all prepared fresh and to order by Amici himself who almost always come to your table to make certain everything is to your satisfaction. As fancy and/or sometimes elegantly simple some of the dishes are, I am a fan of the Italian basics, and this place gets those right as well...my favorite? The Lasagna. read more

Mediocre Italian fare. Worst of all - this establishment charges 4% convenience fee to use plastic. Nowhere does any content state that this fee is assessed. It was first stated on the check!!!! WTH! I won't be returning. read more

What an amazing experience. This sweet place is tucked away in Carrollton Square and is by far the most incredible Italian food I've had in a very long time! I ordered the house salad and seafood manicotti. We opted out of drinking alcohol however they have a great wine menu. The waiters are attentive and very kind. The head chef came out to greet guests and allowed for questions which was very nice. I loved how relaxingly elegant everything was! We will be back again! read more

Parking: Free Street Parking in Downtown Carrollton. Service: After grocery shopping and not wanting to cook we stopped to eat here since it looked good and was open. It was an hour before the restaurant closed, so plenty of time. I will never be that person that sits to eat 20 minutes before closing. The host/waiter sat us down after asking if we had reservation. We didn't have any and he let us choose our seats after he looked around. We sat down and he gave us the menus and mentioned the specials. We ordered drinks that came out fast and food was out pretty quick. Food: We ordered the Short Ribs and Spicy Seafood Pasta as entrees. The sauce on the short ribs was almost sour and the short ribs were tough. They needed more time to tenderize. The pasta that came with it was cooked well but the sauce just didn't eat well. The seafood pasta was also a bit disappointing. The seafood was rubbery and chewy and felt over cooked. The scallops were grey and chewy. The pasta again was cooked well and had a nice spice to it. Other than that the meal was underwhelming for the price. Overall: I will be return since it might have been an off night and hope it was. I've eaten here once before and was impressed with the food. The service is good and hope that next visit will not disappoint. read more

I really liked this restaurant at Carrollton downtown. I wanted by this area a few times and it's easy to miss but glad I walked in. The bread they brought put was amazing. The salad was pretty good too which came with the entre. I tried the eggplant Parmigian and it was really good. I wish everything had a little bit more flavor. The pasta seemed a little bland but overall it was good. The staff was really friendly and service was fast. I liked that they had a few vegetarian dishes that I could come back and try again next time! read more

During a pandemic the last thing I want to do is give a restaurant a bad review, these folks deserve it! I ordered the family eggplant and manicotti dinners to go last night. An $80 order that tasted like fish. I called and was told it was fine to them. I gave this restaurant a shot as we'd never been there and hoping to help small businesses. read more

VERY impressed with Amici. Very authentic Italian good made from scratch. To start we had a red leaf lettuce salad with their handmade 'focaccia' bread, fresh ingredients and very tasty. Main course- lasagna and short ribs over fettuccine. The star of the whole night was the short ribs over fresh fettuccini!! The short ribs had been cooked all day and tasted like heaven!! Desert was out of this world! Fresh made almond wafers layered with chocolate cream and bananas. We will defiantly be coming back to Amici! read more

Amici, what a great restaurant right in the heart of Historic Downtown Carrollton. I loved everything about it. The atmosphere is quiet and romantic. The décor is elegant. The staff are very attentive. The menu is very carefully thought out. The food tasted fabulous. Their wine list is pretty impressive. Chef Bartolino Cocuzza made sure to visit every table personally to ensure that everything was great. The restaurant is kind of small so be aware that you may have to wait a little to get a seat. But the wait is worth it. It's hard to believe I have lived 10 minutes from a great Italian restaurant for all these years and never tried them out until now. There will certainly be returned visits to Amici in my future. Favorites - Cesar Salad - Linguini - Shrimp Carbonara - Creme Brule' read more

I went with a group for a birthday celebration, and we all had an excellent experience. It was clean, cozy and the staff was super friendly. The food was heavenly - and I mean everything (many of our party had one of the specials), and we were served in a timely manner. The Ahi tuna was superb, and even the sides were melt-in-your mouth delicious. I look forward to my next return trip! read more
