Pleasant and reliable. For the days when you just want an ordinary meal, in the style of home cooking, nothing fancy but nothing fast or cheap either. Amici's would be where you would go if you didn't have a relatives dining room to visit for italian home cooking...

this restaurant is the most romantic place i have ever been taken to on a date , to the candles that light up the whole room to the light sweet music in the back round, the food was the best value for money such a big meal, and the home made garlic bread in the world, so romantic dinner ever

This is a good, reliable eatery. The food is rustic Italian and lovely, with generous servings. However, a couple of things you need to know - it is very dark, so you need to be aware of this if you bring a group who need good visibility to seat themselves and eat, but it's fine if you want a romantic dinner with atmosphere. The tables are very close together, diners are often elbow to elbow, which can be off-putting and there is not much room to move between the chairs. However, if you can tolerate that, the food is good and worth it. We ordered the bruschetta, which comes in a lovely rustic style - the whole small loaf on a bread board with knive to slice it - that's great, but it is also very messy to eat, particularly because the tomato salsa gets everywhere!. I had the vegetarian pasta and my companions had a veal scallopini and a sciciliana pasta, all very good. The wine list is broad and will offer what you feel like. Service is good. I like it.

We dine here quite often. Quite dark inside the restaurant, but staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Food is lovely without being outstanding.

The Bruschetta was lovely and my 3 companions all loved their meals. My steak was well over-cooked though. I also didn't like how dark the place was. Would come again and not have the steak I suppose.

Basic, old-looking decor. Great meals, good large servings. Watch out for their "corkage' charge - it's $2.50 PER PERSON! I got charged $7.50 for one bottle, what a rip-off

Approximate cost: $25.00

My husband and my most favourite place to go together. We've been going here for about 12 years, and the bruschetta is as good as that first visit. Fantastic Italian trattoria food, at very reasonable prices. Aside from the bruschetta, other highlights are the Pasta Amici and Capesante Thermidore (scallops). Has a fantastic, cozy atmosphere.

Amici's Restaurant is amust visit. This place was nearly full on a Monday night @ 7:30pm when I left. Having only booked 30 minutes prior to arriving for a table of 2, we were placed with a window view which was great. The service was very timely at all times. The food was delicious and the menu was just the right size. A wonderful experienc e all round. Will definitely be returning.

Approximate cost: $18.50
