Amici is a great wee restaurant. Its on the slightly 'less trendy' part of the Lisburn Road, down near Queen's MBC. You may miss it if you blink when passing but is directly across the road from Ryan's bar.
So Amici is an Italian restaurant with a nice simple clean décor. There are some lovely 4 seater booths and a few other tables and chairs. Its a very pleasant place to sit and enjoy a meal and some wine. Like any Italian there is a whole host of things to order off the menu including a wide selection of pasta and pizza.
I can't attest to the wine quality as I was having a sober evening but I have it on good authority that it was good. For starter I got the Zucchini Crisps. They were delicious batons of courgettes in a thick batter and fried till crisp. Very well seasoned and quite light despite the batter. They came with a delicious Balsamic dipping sauce. I'd highly recommend the started to anyone as it wasn't heavy and made a perfect kick off without filling you up before the main.
For my main I ordered the Aubergine, Sun dried tomato and spinach pizza. The pizza itself was great, a slightly thicker base than some places. My only downside was that it was very slightly overdone. It was slightly burned on the bottom. Other than that it was very fresh and very tasty. The other mains my party had all came out well presented and there wasn't a bad word said about the food.
This is a great wee gem on the Lisburn Road and because it doesn't seem rally well known yet its a great place for the adventurers out there to go explore and discover.
I would have given 5 stars but the website was incorrect promising a pre-theatre menu at 2 course for £12.95. On arrival we were told this and it was 2 courses for £15.00. They did however let us use our Perks card so there was a bit of balance there, however I definitely think if you are changing an offer the first place to update should be your website! read more
