    Pesto chicken sandwich
    Riley H.

    Stopped here while passing through to Charlottesville. Great food! Stromboli was delicious! Pesto chicken sandwich was great too. Our waitress was super helpful with menu recommendations and service was fast. Quiet ambiance, not many people sitting down to eat. Would certainly come back though!

    Desperate one night without a dinner plan, we turned to takeaway pizza. We live closer to Scottsville than to Charlottesville proper, and fairly in the middle of nowhere; delivery isn't an option, so it was the perfect opportunity to try Amici's and save a longer drive. First of all, looking at the menu ahead of time I was just amazed at the prices for the pizzas--definitely cheaper than your standard takeout pizzas at the pizza joints in town. Perks of small-town life. I like it. We opted for just a one-topping sausage pizza (we have a toddler who is just learning to use his molars and so our usual order full of ever topping imaginable seemed unwise.) Again, the price point was right on: including tax, we slid $14 bucks over for our large pizza and got change back. Cha-ching. Flavor-wise it's right there with your typical American pizza joint; no frills, no fancy, just cheesy, slightly greasy goodness. The crust was chewy but crisp and not too thick. The sausage was actually quite flavorful and better than what I remember from atop delivery chain pies, but again, we're not talking artisan here. Other notes: the pizza was not the greasiest, but they still slid an extra sheet of parchment paper under the pizza, to try to keep that cardboard box recyclable, so that was cool. For the price point and our location, I will definitely revisit Amici's next time I'm looking for a big slice of satisfying pizza. Most pizza wins in my eyes, and I was a fan. Would definitely be interested to try their other menus items, too, to see what's up. Gotta love Scottsville!

    Spinach dip

    Can't believe we would stumble upon this lovely spot for a some fire Italian food. The portions were huge and the food tasted like a warm hug. Everything was truly delicious! My whole family ordered the Calamari, Spinach dip, Linguine Carbonara, Calzone, and Pesto Pizza. Everything was just so good. Totally hidden gem in Scottsville :)

    This is a hidden gem in Scottsville! My family and I stopped by here to eat after kayaking at Reeling & Rafting. The food here was wonderful and it was on point! The shrimp and spinach dip was not salty at all and the seasoning was just right! The bread was very soft and it went well with the dip. If you are ever hungry and in town, this is the place to go! BEWARE THE QUANTITY OF THE FOOD IS A LOT!

    THE SHRIMP AND SPINACH DIP!!!

    Perfect place to go after kayaking!!! This place was highly rated on yelp, so our family decided give it a try. As soon as we got the appetizers, we knew why!!! It was soooo good! Especially, the shrimp and spinach dip was must try! We also tried some pizzas and pastas, and we all soooo satisfied! Good place to try if u r in town!!!

    Nice treat on a night alone

    SERVICE We came in on a rainy evening and were told the…read morewait might be about 45 minutes...and no space to wait indoors so we sat outside in the covered patio and they came by to let us order drinks as we waited. Thankfully, got the drink and were called in early about 15 minutes into the wait. That little surprise made things start off on a good note. Once inside, we sat at the bar since there weren't tables available and we were HUNGRY and cold! Even with the weather and a busy crowd, everything felt smooth and relaxed. AMBIANCE The place was small and cozy with a warm vibe that instantly made us forget the rain outside! The cool shallot-shaped lamps over the bar gave off soft light, making the whole space feel super calm and inviting. Sitting at the bar felt right choice for us for our first time -- close enough to the energy of the restaurant and people watching and seeing the pizzas get made but still comfortable! There's a soft buzz but cozy enough to chat and just feel at home. FOOD We ordered the Abruzzo pizza with beef and pork meatballs, fiore di latte, San Marzano tomato, basil, and pecorino. It was hearty and rich but still balanced. We also wanted to try the Prosciutto pizza, which was not the favorite but still good. The San Marzano tomato sauce for the Abruzzo was the star of the show. We were sad we didn't order another pizza with the tomato sauce to switch it up but oh well, another time right?! Loved the floppiness, the tomato sauce flavor, and the crust! Have to love the scissor-plate idea -- very clever and so easy. And size of these personal small-sized pizzas perfect for 2 people so we could have room for dessert and not have leftovers! We finished with the Zeppole "donuts" which were fried ricotta donuts tossed in cinnamon sugar with a hint of lemon (which I LOVED the lemon here and cinnamon sugar worked perfectly!). They were light, warm, crispy and just what you want at the end of a meal. The food was delicious, though definitely on the pricier side ($16-$18 each for the small pizzas, $9 for dessert. Still, everything felt thoughtful and worth it for the quality!

However, it took a while before anyone came to our table. Two younger waitresses were standing in the back talking with someone they appeared to know, and after about 15 minutes, another staff member finally asked if we had been helped. When I told her we hadn't, she immediately took our drink and food orders. The atmosphere was pleasant and family-friendly, with a relaxed vibe. Once our waitress took over, she was amazing--attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. It was well worth the visit, and I'm so glad I found the place again. I'll definitely be making a trip back!

Make sure to read the full description of each menu item as the short title doesn't do it justice. I ordered a braised short rib with risotto dish, which was amazing! But the short title was just "risotto", which I would have quickly dismissed without my friend mentioning the short rib in the description. We started with the calamari an appetizer. It had a nice crispy breading. They had deep fried jalapeños with it, which paired nicely with the calamari. Never had it like this before. The dish came out with a very generous portion of risotto and a large short rib on top. The rib was so tender that it fell right off the bone and you didn't need a knife to cut it up. So flavorful! The risotto was well flavored and have a nice creaminess to it. I could have shared this plate as it was very rich and filling. Service was admittedly slow, but I attribute that to our large group on a Wednesday evening.
