Caffe Amici is deceptive from outside, looking like a typical shopping center, run-of-the-mill themed restaurant. But it is nothing like that! Inside the fragrance of garlic and simmering past sauce let you know you are somewhere different than what you were expecting. The menu is eclectic but substantial of the traditional dishes are plentiful and worth exploring! I got the Gnocchi with a couple of meatballs and my Wife got the chicken in white sauce. Both were perfect and exactly what we needed in the moment! Definitely unexpected. The Tiramisu was spectacular and the wine list & cocktails were really good! Highly recommend!

We got the fried calamari and artichokes (great, good flavor). The table bread was toasted and garlic seasoned. My entree (mushroom ravioli with petite filet) was very good! That ravioli was 10/10! Perfectly cooked! That cheese sauce was so rich and creamy! Best pasta dish I've had in a while! My petite fillet was pretty good but only con was I requested medium and it was medium rare, but still great and I eat my meat either way. The only thing I didn't care for was the house salad. That dressing oil to vinegar ratio was off. It did not look or taste fancy and upscale like my entree did. The ceaser salad looked way more appealing. I tried a seasonal cocktail and man that was a refreshing orange spritz that was perfect for a hot day! I would for sure go back and try other things!

I'm honestly still shocked by this experience. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by roaches…read moreat the door not just one, but multiple crawling around the entrance and across the floor. It immediately made the place feel extremely unsanitary. What made it worse was that employees noticed the roaches and did nothing. Some workers were on break just standing there, watching roaches crawl around, instead of addressing the issue. On top of that, staff handling food weren't wearing gloves, which is very concerning given the visible pest problem. Cleanliness and food safety should be a bare minimum for any restaurant, and this place completely missed the mark. I couldn't feel comfortable eating here at all. I would not recommend this restaurant and definitely won't be returning.

In stark contrast, the Lemoncello Cheesecake Martini proved an absolute delight: rich, creamy, and lush with bright lemonade notes. Intensely satisfying and dangerously drinkable, one could happily indulge in a gallon of this velvety concoction. Service brought its own inconsistencies. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive, cheerfully assisting with menu navigation. However, requests for ice water were met repeatedly with room-temperature glasses, requiring multiple reminders that never quite resolved the issue. The menu itself presented a minor puzzle--the dessert section was absent, leaving us uncertain whether a separate dessert menu existed or if options had simply been overlooked. The appetizers shone brightly. The Fried Green Tomatoes arrived as a visually stunning plate (we had already dispatched two of the four slices before snapping a photo). The breading was on the heavier side yet carried solid flavor, while the accompanying sauces stole the show. The marinara was exceptional--deep, fresh, and layered with complexity; one could easily envision bottling it. The cream sauce provided a lovely counterpoint to the vibrant pesto, which surprised me (as a general pesto skeptic) with its balanced texture and multifaceted flavor profile. The Burrata and Charcuterie-style starter was equally successful. Featuring a generous bowl of creamy burrata, two varieties of sweet jam, assorted cured meats, and crusty bread, it invited creative assembly into custom crostini. This interactive element added an innovative, playful touch while delivering robust, harmonious flavors. Unfortunately, the main courses told a more mixed story. The Sausage and Broccolini pasta was a clear disappointment. Visually, it arrived swimming in excess grease that overwhelmed the palate from the first few bites onward and very muted tones. While the pasta was perfectly cooked, the broccolini retained a pleasant crunch, and the sausage offered good initial flavor and texture, the sheer quantity of oil coated everything, rendering subsequent tastes one-dimensional and heavy. In hindsight, the Shrimp Caprese might have been the wiser choice, though the menu's lack of portion detail gave pause. My husband's Chicken Parmesan fared better. The cutlet showed a darker presentation that stopped short of burnt, and while the visual appeal suffered slightly, the flavor delivered. The pasta was cooked beautifully with a well-balanced sauce portion, and the generous cutlet itself was tender and satisfying--a solid, classic execution. Overall, the meal had moments of real brilliance, particularly in the appetizers and that unforgettable martini, tempered by execution missteps in temperature control and richness management. A restaurant with clear potential, though one that would benefit from tighter attention to fundamentals.

Crust just right and literally overflowing with everything. Would order it again today. And tomorrow. And be thinking about it again in three days. And the prices were very good! Gonna bring my ground 30 back - but I have warned them and they'll be staffed and ready. Looking forward to it!

However, they both described it as just a large piece of unseasoned meat. For $68, the meat should be juicy and seasoned. So fair warning to all looking for a good steak on a nice date night...this is NOT the go to restaurant. Stick to the seafood.
