    The bar area

    We had the pleasure of having Ashley wait on us today, the place has a nice ambience and it's a place where a lot of the locals come to for a quick bite to eat. If you're looking for a place to eat something quickly and have a cold beverage this might be for you

    First timer here. It was really good. I was eating by myself. I had a slice of the McDowell cheeseburger pizza. The slice is from the large pizza. The crust was really good. I also had a Amici Cesar salad, it was also really good. The bartender server was also a really nice guy. He explained the menu and was patient with me. Also said this is the first location with the corporate office downstairs.

    Cheese calzone- I ordered it that way but there was only cold mozzarella in it... no ricotta.

    I nostalgically stopped in with memories of Amici's early days on the Main Street in a smaller space with an uneven floor and a couple of steps up off the street level. And, while the new space is much more comfortable and convenient, the food has slipped, a lot. My calzone was cold and while I ordered a cheese only calzone, there was nothing exciting about coldish mozzarella. I was expecting a nice fluffy ricotta with melted mozzarella. I ordered the onion ring basket- they were ok- not as exciting as I thought they would be. Admittedly, I ordered some really run of the mill items so that's on me but the sauce was obviously out of a giant metal can and the special dipping sauce for the rings was ketchup. I thought it would be a more from scratch experience.

    Cheese Calzone

    I LOVE Amici, so I hate to have to complain. However, this is the second time in less than a month I've had subpar to go orders. A week or so ago I ordered a pepperoni pizza that looked like it had been cooked an hour or so before I picked it up. And it wasn't really cut so I had to reheat it and cut it. Now tonight, I've got a burnt calzone that was already a "remake" (i didn't ask why it needed to be remade, I was just ready to leave with food). I would love some good, and consistent pizza! All the other things I've ordered were great, the pizza is just making me sad as an Amici lover.

    It was my wife's birthday and I needed somewhere close by, upscale but not extravagant. I checked…read moreout the website , looked nice, they took reservations so sure let's give it a try. Reservations at 8, right on time. Walked in seated right away by the hostess. The standard server will be with you shortly here are your menus. Our waitress Summer had the timing down. Just as we figured out what we wanted from the drink menu she arrived. An old fashioned is our go to so two Seasonal Old Fashioned to start. We also ordered the baked Feta for appetizer. The interior is warm and open. Tables and chairs have plenty of room We sat overlooking the bar area (the bar is at a lower level). Only thing I would change is sitting at a table vs a High top. Drinks and appetizer arrived promptly. The baked feta was so good warm and creamy, tomatoes and seasoning provided depth. Summer provided the specials of the day as well as her thoughts on various entree. My wife originally was looking at a pasta w shrimp. Summer brought to our attention the pork chop - she said I know you think of how good can a pork chop be but ours is really amazing. So my wife changed her mind and went with the pork chop. I elected for the Red Fish atop orzo. Entrees arrived and wow they looked perfect. That pork chop was thick, nice crisp sear topped with apples ( sautéed perfectly not soggy). My red fish was well seasoned and tasted great. What amazed me was the spinach and tomato orzo! So creamy and subtle it complimented the fish so well. You can't have a Birthday without desert. Again Summer provided great recommendations and insights. Salted Caramel cheesecake for the birthday girl and I had the crème brûlée cheesecake cake. Both were very good not too dense and not fluff. The flavors were not overpowering so you enjoy the flies well as the taste of cheesecake. Price was what I expected, it's not bar food , priced appropriately. Remember I said reservations were at 8 ? They close at 9 and not once did we feel rushed. The staff, especially Summer treated us like the first customer of the evening. My wife digs the whole singing happy birthday , the dessert had the happy birthday message and Summer discreetly asked if she would like the happy Birthday song. They did, and looked like they had fun doing it. Awesome place we will definitely go back!

Yes, we had to ask for one when our food came, too. Our party of 12 had a variety of dishes, everyone seemed to enjoy their choice. The lasagna was nothing special, I make it better at home. Rolls? Sister Schubert. Not made in their kitchen. Had to ask twice for crushed red pepper & Parmesan. It's the little things that kill an established business. 5-star prices for 3-star food. Our bill for 4 people was almost $200. No alcohol. Maybe again, but not likely.

First off, I already liked Gus because of his awesome name (same as mine ), but both he and Jennifer went above and beyond for us.

I'm not exactly the best at coordinating birthday setups, but Jennifer came to the rescue and helped create a beautiful birthday display that made the night extra special for my wife and family. Now let's talk about the food and drinks... absolutely incredible. This was our first time there, and honestly, it felt like stepping into an authentic Italian home where every dish is made with love and passion. The restaurant itself is beautiful and cozy, with a warm Italian atmosphere that instantly makes you feel comfortable and welcomed. The service was prompt, attentive, and perfect from start to finish. You can truly feel the care and heart they put into both the restaurant and their guests. We can't wait to come back again and again. We highly recommend New Santoros Italian Kitchen to anyone looking for amazing food, outstanding hospitality, and a memorable experience.

We decided last minute to join some friends who already had a reservation so they canceled ours and added us to our friends with no issue. It was hard to understand why the reservation system showed little availability as the restaurant was half empty. May be they were short staffed. We were seated in their fully enclosed patio at a low table (there were high tops as well). Our server was very knowledgable about the menu and offered up the specials from memory. We started with the focaccia, which I highly recommend! Everyone at our table thought it was the best they've had. It came with a whipped ricotta and olive tapenade, both of which were excellent! For my entree, I had the carnivora pizza which was perfectly cooked. Thin and slightly crunchy, there were not a ton of toppings that overwhelmed the crust, which was good in this case. The calabrian chiles gave it a nice kick and made the meal for me! My only issue was that they got my leftovers mixed up so when I opened them the next morning, it was not my food!

We started our meal with a few appetizers--meatballs--and initially opted for the focaccia bread. Then we changed our minds and decided to try the pizza since everyone raved about how good it was. Best decision ever. Swapping the focaccia for the pizza was absolutely worth it. pizza crust was perfectly crisp yet light, and we ordered a meat-lovers-style pizza that was absolutely delicious. We ate two slices each and had to send the rest back because we left it on the table--otherwise, we would've eaten the whole thing.At that point we were full, and we could've asked for the check, but where's the fun in that? Instead, we decided to split a pasta dish, which turned out to be the perfect portion. The pasta was delicious, the sauce was amazing, and by then we were officially too full to eat anything else. We finally asked for the check, completely satisfied. Overall, it was an amazing experience. The food was excellent, our server was wonderful, and everything was a solid 10 out of 10.

I had already been about four times before and had determined that I was never going back after my last experience. Well, this one was even worse. Maybe some of the worst service ever.

We waited literally almost 30 minutes for our drinks. Finally we had to go find a manager. We were told that they were out of one of the liquors so instead of sending one of their lame bartenders over to ask if we had a second choice we sat there for 30 minutes. The food is so overpriced.

They have all these cute, nice looking folks serving the food and they're a little matching aprons, but they seriously lack any sense of urgency or attention. Not only will I never go back to this restaurant, I'm going to make sure that all my friends know not to go there. But judging from the current clientele, I think most people have gotten the word that this place is not worth the money. Oh, and at the end of the evening, their valet parking app didn't work. My friend spend a lot of money in restaurants, and as we left they said they would never go back there either. You have been warned!

Each plate stood on its own and showcased the kitchen's attention to detail and flavor. The drinks were immaculate -- balanced, smooth, and thoughtfully crafted. Yes, the plates looked like they came from Dollar Tree (no judgment, lol), but when the food is this good, that becomes part of the charm instead of a flaw. I'm already looking forward to going back.
