One of the best Italian eateries around. At first you consider this a hidden gem just around the corner from Errol St in West Melbourne. Then you realise that the place is packed to the rafters with very happy eaters, that have been visiting Amiconi for years and the staff know many on a first name basis.
The menu is extensive and broken down into the old fashioned provincial Italian style. You can go a la carte style or order one of two banquet style meals. The banquet meals are great if you have four or more in your group. They inculde bruschetta, vegetarian , starters, seafood, pastas, desserts and coffee. HUge portions are the order of the day yet the quality is just amazingly good
I would recommend the famous calamari, chicken livers, spatchcok, mussells and Italian profiteroles for dessert.
I just hope everyone enjoys as I did. I highly recommend to lovers of Italian food

Approximate cost: $22

We had originally paid deposit to Maceys Moorrabbin but they closed down overnight and went into liquidation. We found Maceys at Oakleigh still open but they said they could not help us. We accepted we had lost our deposit and went to see what Solomons Flooring could do for us with a now decreased budget. . We spoke to the owner who is a franchisee and he said although he was busy he would come out and measure our rooms that afternoon. He kept his appointment and gave us a reasonable quote that we agreed to. He over came the first obstacle of no stock by getting it transported in from Queensland. The next hurdle was the availablity of an installer. After many telephone calls he sourced a layer who could install our flooring a week later. We paid a deposit ( our second in a month) The installers turned up as arranged and did a fantastic job, they even cleaned up afterwards. In short, Solomons Flooring turned around our impression of a flooring retailer into a great one. The franchise owner (Rick) went out of his way during the busiest time of the year to help us have flooring put into our home before visitors from overseas arrive for Xmas. We highly recommend them

Approximate cost: $5000
