"Honestly, we had been putting off trying this place because there are so many Italian restaurants to choose from downtown, but we loved it! We tried the meatball appetizer, the side Caesar, and the calamari, and they were all amazing. For dinner, we had the lasagna, which is made from scratch, and it's some of the best I've ever had. The meat sauce was amazing. I had the Veal Amici, and the mushroom sauce and tenderness of the veal were so good. The service was amazing, too. We will definitely be back!"

"We LOVE Cafe Amici. Every year when we go on vacation we make sure to eat there at least 3 times the week we are there. The food is delicious, the service is incredible & they have a wine list with all the high end wines at great prices. If you love Italian food you won't be disappointed!!!!"
