The food was genuinely very good, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately, getting to that point was far more frustrating than it needed to be. What surprised me most was the restaurant's refusal to let guests join a waitlist from their phone. In 2026, it feels incredibly outdated that you have to physically show up, be told the wait is close to an hour, and then either stand around in the Florida heat and humidity or hope you have somewhere else to go until your table is ready. It seems to lack an awareness of the overall guest experience. Many restaurants now allow you to join a waitlist online or through an app, making the wait far more convenient. This shopping center also doesn't offer much to do in the evenings, so asking guests to linger there for an hour feels especially inconvenient. By 5:15 p.m., we were already quoted nearly an hour wait for an indoor table. Fortunately, we had driven instead of riding our bikes, so we were able to run to the grocery store, unload our groceries at the condo, and return just in time. Had we been on bikes--as many visitors in the area are--we likely would have spent that entire hour simply waiting outside. Once inside, I couldn't help but notice the layout. There's a very large bar that sat mostly empty during our visit, along with another counter occupied by kitchen equipment that takes up a significant amount of floor space. It feels like the restaurant sacrifices a substantial amount of seating, which may contribute to the consistently long waits. They do offer tables in the breezeway, but I specifically requested indoor seating. After spending the entire day at the beach and pool, the last thing I wanted was to eat dinner in the same heat and humidity. There is a powerful fan outside, but it mostly circulates warm air. It's certainly better than no fan at all, but it doesn't make outdoor dining particularly comfortable during a Florida summer evening. The seating itself also wasn't very comfortable. The metal chairs have no cushions, and if you're wearing shorts or a skirt, they tend to get sticky and uncomfortable fairly quickly. The service was fine overall, but there were a few small misses that stood out because the experience had already started on a frustrating note. My Diet Coke was refilled several times, while my husband's water never was, which we found odd. I had also requested that my pizza be served without the drizzle on top, but it arrived with it anyway. Neither issue was a major problem on its own, but after the hassle of simply getting on the waitlist, there wasn't much room left for service mistakes. The food absolutely deserves praise--it was delicious, and we'd happily order it again. But the overall experience feels unnecessarily difficult. In 2026, it's hard to understand why this restaurant, and its affiliated restaurants, don't offer an online or mobile waitlist. That one change alone would dramatically improve the guest experience and make an already popular restaurant much easier to enjoy. read more

Amici 30A is located in a charming shopping center that often features live music and a grassy area where families can sit to eat, play, listen to music, etc. Tonight we had the chicken parmigiana and calamari as an appetizer off of the small plates menu. The calamari was great! It featured banana peppers and a spicy dipping sauce. I enjoyed the crunch and texture of the calamari and would definitely recommend it. The chicken parmigiana was ok. It was like any chicken parm I've ever had but also lacked seasoning. It could've used some salt, pepper, garlic, etc. Overall we had a great dining experience. There was no wait. Service was quick and friendly. We also enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying the atmosphere. I think many of the bad reviews come from visitors that expect fast, curated, and cheap dining experiences. I think more grace should be given for local restaurants during peak seasons. We will be back and hopefully will get to enjoy the happy hour in the future! read more

This is one of the few places I'd come to the beach and order something other than seafood. This was our second time eating here, and it definitely lived up to our first visit. We had a larger group, so the wait to be seated was a little longer, but they were very busy. Thankfully, there's a great outdoor area where you can relax, play cornhole, and hang out while you wait. The menu has something for everyone--from pizza for the kids to more upscale dishes--making it a great option for families or groups with different tastes. Everything we ordered was delicious, and we've never had a disappointing meal here. The service was excellent, and I'd especially recommend anything with the Alfredo sauce. It was rich, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the meal. Easy 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious! Came while in the area on vacation; our server was very kind and helpful, and suggested great options! We ordered a few items and shared; my favorite thing the pepperoni pizza with basil, super delicious and fresh! The ambiance was somewhat casual but still nice; would definitely recommend if/when in the area read more

What a really pretty restaurant off 98 near Rosemary. If you want some delish Italian and quick, they have solid food. I love our server Camilla. She smiled from start to end! Also, they have a lunch menu...not sure if daily, but perfect portion! ChowChow Time! read more

Amici is such a gem. Semi-upscale vibes, an actually great happy hour, and $11 pizzas that taste way more expensive than they cost. Huge shoutout to Ivan for the top-tier service -- friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We ordered our pizzas extra crispy (10/10 move) and tried the parmesan crust -- crispy was perfect, but the parm crust had very limited flavor and didn't add much. The free fresh bread at the table is a power move and dangerously good. Great food, great energy, great service -- this is the kind of place you keep in your regular rotation read more

Not a hidden gem any longer. Have been coming here since they first opened and had decided to try their happy hour. Amazing. This isn't the cheap, minimized version of other places. Excellent pizzas, excellent meatballs and excellent service. You have the option of sitting inside, outside, at the bar or captain's table. Location is right off of BBR (IYKYK) and there are quant shops around the area to walk off those calories. If there was one area to improve would be the bathroom. The Italian side only has one of each and the line can get long. read more

Uber eats order. Pricey, but worth it. One of the best chopped salads I've ever had. Lasagana it was delicious as was a rigatoni à la vodka. Bread service average. read more

Had higher expectations and unfortunately was disappointed. Came here to celebrate my bachelorette trip. They do not take reservations (I knew). So went to early dinner (4:30 pm) knowing this and they seemed to have such a hard time to sit our group of 13. Wouldn't recommend coming here for a large group despite the fact they do have a lot of space. Waitress didn't communicate well- they only split into 3 checks per table but acted like we were supposed to know this before waitress brought a single check for each (large) table... just wasn't a great experience, we were sat in the August sun and were sweating so hard it was difficult to enjoy. Drinks could have been refilled quicker with the sun beaming on us. The happy hour fettuccine dish was gross due to the sauce was super watery. Most of the other food was great (meatballs, mozzarella stick, vodka pasta, fettuccine Alfredo). read more

We love the atmosphere and food of Amici's. So easy to get to from 30a and our daughter loves the food

Came to have a glass of wine at happy hour hour- had a great selection to choose from with $2 off a glass as the special. TVs available for viewing breaking news or sports currently on. Cece, our bartender, was very sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. We didn't eat this run, but the food that came out for others smelled and looked amazing. Will be back! read more

Amici is set in a great location with plenty of charm, especially if you choose the fun outdoor seating area. The atmosphere alone makes it an enjoyable stop. Their menu features many classic Italian dishes along with a fun lineup of drinks, so there's something for everyone. The standout starter for us was the ravioli, it was unique, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. The entrées themselves were fairly average, nothing over the top, but still enjoyable. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were quick and attentive. Their level of service really made the visit worthwhile. read more

My daughter, her friend, her friend's mother, and I voted to have Italian fare for a dinner. Amici's was well-recommended and did not disappoint! We split up our orders and shared--two pizzas: Margarita and pepperoni, a foot long ravioli roll, a caprese and a Caesar salad, and Lily's Chicken dish. All was tasty and nicely cooked (I thought both of the pizzas were rather charred but everyone else thought it was fine). Mr. Khongor was very attentive and double-checked everything for onion content (I am allergic to onions). The only thing I thought was strange was that he never asked us if we wanted anything to drink other than the ice waters he brought us. But he did refill those glasses. He totally was attentive and pleasant. I never saw the inside decor but it was probably lovely. All-in-all, very nice! read more

Fantastic Italian! Really thoughtful menu items! Everyone at our table loved their dish! We went back twice in a week! Highly recommend!

Best pizza we've had thus far on 30A and we've been coming here for over 15 years. Spaghetti is delicious also.

We had a wonderful experience at Amici Italian Kitchen! The food was excellent, but our server, Camila, really made the evening special. She was fabulous--friendly, attentive, and gave us some great suggestions that we absolutely loved. She was genuinely delightful and made us feel very welcome. Great food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service from Camila. We'll definitely be back! read more

We got pizza and salad to go after a long day on the beach. Ordering was easy, the wait was not long, the prices were fair and most importantly the pizza was very good. We got a couple of Amy's salads and they were great. The meatball pizza was the favorite of the group and we were all surprised at the buffalo chicken. It had a great flavor and the buffalo sauce was not overpowering at all. I was a little disappointed we decided to get take out instead of dine in when I got there. The atmosphere looked great and super fun! I'm Looking forward to going back and dining in. read more

We always stop at Amici on the way from the airport. The have handmade pasta and pizza. We started with fresh made creamy vodka infused gnocchi and finished with their oversized pepperoni pizzas. Thin with the right amount of San marzano tomato sauce to shredded mozzarella cheese ratio. This is one of many Chorchis family restaurants we visit while on vacation. read more

The food at best, is maybe 4.5. Some of the staff are extraordinarily friendly and kind. Then, others are incompetent and lazy. I've witnessed firsthand a few of the workers trying to wash off tables and lift heavy trays of food while others stand around doing absolutely nothing while customers wait for tables to be cleaned off. This place is in a prime location, but it doesn't measure up to comparable standards other restaurants in it's vicinity do. I've heard that mgmt. truly lack adequate experience to run a operation such as this. They take advantage of the harder working younger employees while allowing others to slack off and do nothing. It makes for a disjointed, mediocre vibe due to the inability for the staff to work together as a team. Go anywhere but here when you come to 30A. This place just isn't worth the cost. Even with the horrible work environment, if the food was great, I'd have to give more stars. But when the food is so mediocre AND the ppl running the show run a sloppy unethical operation, it's best to take your business elsewhere. read more

Taste: overall good, considering we didn't have high expectations given this is a tourist area with limited food options. The spaghetti bolognese I ordered was bland and underwhelming, but the pizzas were tasty and a great deal for $11 each during happy hour. Service: Food came out in a timely manner, esp since we were a big party. The waiter was willing to split our checks, which we greatly appreciated. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and thanks to the fans, sitting outside was nice and breezy at 5 pm. Price: this is where I had to dock another star because we were blindsided by the fees. I completely understand the auto 18% gratuity for our big party, but the math wasn't adding up so we asked our waiter and he explained that gratuity is calculated using the full cost prices of the items we ordered, instead of the happy hour prices. On top of that, each bill had a landlord fee, and that just bewilders us as to why we are being charged such a fee at a dining establishment. Overall, good vibes and food but ridiculous portrayal of costs, so beware. read more

We have been there twice, and both times, we were disappointed. On my first visit, I had the chicken piccata. It really didn't have much flavor. The chicken was overdone. The sauce, which is supposed to be lemon caper butter, tasted mostly like oil and overwhelmed the overall taste. I doubt there was much butter. Oil is cheaper, so...? On our second visit, I tried the pizza. It was okay, but nothing to brag about. The pepperoni was sparse, the cheese thin, and the flavor bland. On top of this, it is VERY loud. The restaurant is nothing more than a bar with seating placed around it. It is a hollow shell inside, and the noise carries and reverberates throughout. They have metal chairs that scrape the concrete floors obnoxiously loudly whenever anyone moves them. Not much for the ambiance. They have tried placing tennis balls on the legs of the chairs, but most are missing, and the remaining ones are worn out. As with most restaurants today, they are pricey. I don't mind paying for a truly good meal, but I gave them two shots, and they were below par on both visits. We thought of trying their sister eatery next door, which is Mexican, but after this experience, we opted to pass. read more

45 mins we waited (after being sat) and no water, chips, or drinks. This was at 4:50pm; not even during "busy" time. I know that spring break can be busy but that was ridiculous. I'm sure the food is good but I couldn't even get a water much less something off the menu. read more

First time here, we got right in and had the best service from Rylee she was amazing so fun and sweet.

Thanks Rylee for making our experience so good! read more

The lease on this restaurant space cost more then the ingredients that goes into the food. I had real bad heartburn after having the lasagna! Once is enough. The wait staff was slow and you had to ask for drink refills. Next time I'll pass on this! read more

Excellent pasta dishes and the pizzas are tasty. Service has always been excellent. Can get very noisy during peak periods.

We visited 30A for a quick trip and fell in love. Not to mention how amazing the food was. We came to Amici for pizza! And it did not disappoint. We sat at the bar area where we watched food be made and waited for our pizza with bread they brought out beforehand. We got a Margherita pizza and a custom cheese pizza with mushroom and olives. Both extra crispy! It was delicious ! Our server was really kind, and we really enjoyed talking to him. I believe his name was Matthew. Overall, good pizza and chill/fun vibes. The area is really cute to walk around in during the day and night as well. At night there are pretty lights! Food recs: Pizza!! read more

We ordered takeout after driving all day and the food was amazing! The lasagna and grilled chicken was the best my friend has had in a long time. I ordered the spicy vodka rigatoni and may have been the best pasta I have ever eaten. It was spicy but not too much with a well rounded flavor over all. The order was prepared fast and still hot when we received it. Everyone has nice to deal with after a long day. We will definitely be back. read more

We came here for hally hour, which his what Inwould recommend since the pizzas are half the price. It's like a personal pizza and the half price is $11 so that's the time to get it we sat at what they call the chefs table which is sort of like the bar but you get to watch the chefs cooking and plating food. The complimentary bread was a nice touch and the pizza was good, but O don't think it would be worth $22 when not dining at happy hour. read more

This place has delicious food, but unfortunately, the young service workers act like over privileged and not very kind and I feel like they just need to take a step down . Everything else about the place is good just because you work in a very nice beautiful area that has plenty of money flown through. It doesn't mean you have to act that way it's a very Bad way especially if their ages. I lived in a resort for years and years and I don't like the uppity attitude so people have just because they're over privileged have money and unfortunately, these people are like that.. just a word to the wise act like Chick-fil-A workers because they are top-notch always in love waiting on people and don't act like they're so sophisticated above everybody else that place is the best place . read more

This place really over delivered for our night on the beach! While it was crowded and the seating was a little uncomfortable it would be hard not to recommend this place if you're in 30A and looking for Italian. The group we were with originally was interested in the Fried Ravioli which was HUGE and fried perfectly. The Calamari appetizer was a TON of food and the aioli was nice and spicy. The spicy olive oil pasta was executed perfectly, impressive and tasty would order again. Ok... now here is where I got a little weird, the non-pizza menu is small and I started to get curious. The Chicken Parm can come with 3 sauces, unless you go off script and order the SPICY Vodka sauce, and I need to explain to you that you MUST do this if you even like spicy Italian at all. The chicken was cooked well, the portions were large, but the Spicy Vodka Sauce was the winner here, I know this combo is not technically on the menu and I hope the place doesn't hold it against me for recommending but it was a winner. I did not get our servers name but she was very nice and very fast and didn't make me feel bad for ordering a little out of left field! Overall, if you want Italian in 30A this was amazing and I recommend it. It may be helpful to make a reservation if you want to sit in a more comfortable area in the restaurant. read more

I called the restaurant and asked what the current wait was.. The host said she wasn't near her host stand and I said I can wait, then she said she's not allowed to tell me because the wait can change. I told her I don't mind if it changes but she wouldn't tell me.... I'm mind blown.. this has never happened to me before. Chicken parm barely had any sauce or cheese on it. Basically a breaded chicken patty. There is nothing famous about it. The penne noodles were gluten free.. they didn't have regular penne? Okay.. I will say the only thing I enjoyed about my meal was the waiter, he was very nice. read more

Loved this place! Had a great waitress. Vibes were good inside, very chill Amy's Amici 30a Meatballs 8/10 (Made with beef, pork, and lots of love) - great appetizer! Totally recommend Lily's Chicken Piccata 8/10 (lightly breaded free range chicken breast, lemon butter caper sauce, sautéed thinly sliced garlic, baby spinach, and evoo, tossed in spaghetti) - chicken felt fried, not like a standard chicken piccata. Spaghetti Bolognese 9/10 - BEST PASTA OF THE NIGHT! Loaded with a delicious meat sauce. 100% recommend Geo's Lasagna 8/10 (traditional lasagna layered high with beef, pork, ricotta, shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, san marzano tomatoes, garlic, basil, and onions) Gnocchi Vodka 8.7/10 Caesar Salad 8.6/10 (crispy romaine, shaved parmigiana, homemade croutons. tossed in homemade caesar dressing) - great caesar salad. Perfect amount of dressing. Polpette (Meatball) Pizza 8.8/10 (san marzano tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella, homemade pesto, & amy's amici 30A meatballs) - LOVED the pizza! Was hot and crispy. Will totally get another next time I go Calamari 7/10 read more
