Hubby and I came here for dinner with some family on Wednesday. There were 4 adults and 1 teenager with the group. We came here for the Halloween pop up bar and found out that since the one member of our party was under 21 we couldn't sit up there. Which I understand it is a bar so to speak but it wasn't crowded it was a Wednesday afternoon and she was with 4 adults. I feel like it would have been ok, so we were bummed about that. However, we decided to eat there regardless of having to sit in the regular dining room. The server came over took our drink order, then took our appetizer order. Apps came out, the server then asked for our second drink order before taking our dinner order or even asking if we were ordering additional items. I had ordered the veal Parmesan and then found out they didn't have veal. So I switched gears and ordered the chicken Alfredo. For the appetizers we got mozzarella planks and the pretzels. For dinner the table ordered the chicken Marsala, and chicken Alfredo. The food was very good and came out pretty quick. I was not impressed with the service. The server was nice but wasn't anything spectacular and we would have been out of there sooner if she took the orders in a timely manner. read more

This place has a very nice dining area or you can sit in the bar that also has tables. The bar area is usually decorated with a theme. We went because it was a tiki theme and we wanted to check it out before they switched it. They have special drinks and food that go along with the theme. The bar area also has a DJ in the evenings. I ordered the pina colada shrimp and some fries. Food was good. Food seem to take awhile to come out and somehow my fries were missed. Those took forever to come out. Our waitress was very nice, but she was running the bar and dining area, so not very attentive. It wasn't very busy when we were there. Fun atmosphere in the bar area. read more

Stopped by for a cocktail with a friend and to see their summer setup. It was cute! Everyone loves a themed space. The themed drinks were good. Specifically the Bahama Mama and Pina Colata - served in a coconut cup! read more

Terrible experience. Do not recommend to anyone. Our experience at Amici Italian Restaurant in North Royalton was disappointing from start to finish. The restaurant felt old and outdated, with worn seating and unkempt restrooms. The staff's unkempt uniforms added to our concerns about cleanliness. The pasta arrived cold, overcooked, and dry, accompanied by what appeared to be bagged, presliced Italian bread. The staff came across as cold and impatient, and the owner's inattentive response only made an already poor experience worse. When we raised our concerns, the owner offered neither an apology nor a replacement for the disappointing dishes. There was no meaningful effort to make things right. she simply turned and walked away. Clearly upset that we were not satisfied with the food. They have lost our party's business, and we will be sharing our experience with friends, family, and the staff at our own establishment. Dining out is expensive, and honest reviews help others decide where to spend their money. Based on our experience, I would avoid Amici and choose another Italian restaurant. read more

First time at Amici. Visited on a Wednesday evening and seated immediately. It was active enough but not crowded. Physical space was comfortable enough, seemed clean and orderly. Had veal parm, wife had the Chicken Marsala. Dinner came with bread which was ok. Food was ok, portions were fairly sized based on price. I did have a Manhattan before dinner that tasted like the vermouth or bourbon was watered down. A glass of Chianti with dinner that was very good. Spilt a cannoli for dessert that was excellent. Overall, decent enough, but since it is so far from our house, no real compelling reason to go back. If it was closer might be inclined to try again. read more

This place is a lot of fun! They have a back bay that changes vibe every season. The main Italian restaurant has good pasta and classic Italian standard fair. Their restaurant is big and there is an event space if you want to rent it. Their house red and white is good. Parking is easy outside and there is outdoor seating as welll. I believe they also do catering read more

I will start by stating i got a clipp gift card for this restaurant and thats why we tried this. Ambience is nice. Great music. Clean and comfortable. I got eggplant parm $17. and my husband got lasagna $15 and a cup of soup for another $3. We also shared 4 mozzarella sticks $12. A bit over priced on the appetizer, and greasy. Eggplant was good, I got 1 piece. Lasagna good. Portions ok. But for the cost of not including a salad or soup, a bit high, but still ok. Now the sauce. I am picky on sauce so I asked to try ahead of time. Good. The only issue i have is wishing it wasn't chunky sauce, but I ate anyway and enjoyed. $50 check. Overall good, but I have had better eating out. They did warm up sliced bread. Another issue, the chef would YELL for the server to come get food. It was quiet in the dining room and caught us off guard, not something a chef should be doing, maybe get a food runner, or any other method. Not my favorite Italian food, but not the worst. read more

Murder Mystery? More Like Murdered Evening. We were told the event started at 6:00, so we showed up on time -- like responsible adults. Surprise! It was changed to 6:30, and we didn't actually get to eat until 7:45. By then, the "mystery" was whether there'd still be food... spoiler: there wasn't much. The buffet ran out early, and we had to ask multiple times before it was refilled. The "host" spent the night blowing a whistle like we were in gym class instead of at dinner. Drinks from the bar came with a 20% surcharge, the soda was flat, and the water pitcher was empty -- I literally had to go grab my own from the car. Oh, and the room? Dark. Black ceilings, low light, full "interrogation chamber chic." Makes you wonder what they're hiding. Between the late start, empty trays, and endless whistle-blowing, the only thing truly murdered was our night out. read more

Save your money! The food was bad and the service was the same. Food was undercooked or overcooked. The four of us were very disappointed with our food (wings, lasagna, meatball sub and the Amici burger). Unfortunately, a larger party was getting all of the waitress' attention. We had to get and go to the host station to request the bill. First and last time for us. read more

Worst Lasagna I've ever had. Sauce was bitter and no layers like normal lasagna. Bombolotti was good !

I have been here 3 times . Food and portions were very good. Pricing was pretty fair in comparison to others .

We wanted Italian food and Amici has a decent rating, however, I honestly do not know how this is a 4 star. Things started off great as the owner and her daughter were nice. They showed us around. The restaurant also has a bar area and party center area. They also cater as well.. The restaurant itself and the bar area plus the catering hall are beautiful . The issue comes in with the food. We started off with the appetizer, we ordered calamari. The portion was beyond tiny and tasteless. It was coated in a batter that tasted like plain flour.. we ordered the boot of Italy, which consisted of chicken Parmesan fettuccine , spaghetti and meatball. I added shrimp to my fettuccine and my daughter added chicken to her fettuccine. I also added extra garlic. This is where the disappointment comes in, the shrimp on my fettuccine was undercooked almost white in color as you can see in the pictures. The fettuccine itself was not edible as both my daughter and I had to return our food because it was all mush, tasteless mushy, it sat in a ton of butter. Our food did come with three slices of white bread and some soft butter. We were expecting a more Italian style as they advertise as homemade Italian food. There was no oils no dipping sauces. Thus restaurant is very American very plain very disappointing. This really is not an Italian restaurant as advertised. read more

If you're looking for a fun location for your next event, look no further than Amici! They were great to work with and were excellent at hosting 50+ women for the holiday party. Parking is abundant and the interior was fun and festive! As for the food, both the eggplant and chicken parmeseans were pretty good. I preferred the chicken parmesean, however. The salad and other veggies were fresh although the mixed vegetables seemed like it had a bit too much butter in it. I also had 1... or 2 too many cookies because they were addicting! Overall, this women and family owned business knows how to host a group! Thank you! read more

Came to Amici's for the Aloha pop up bar for a friends birthday The first thing to note was that the pop up is attached but different from the restaurant and has a separate menu - so my review is for the bar side. I don't know how the food on the restaurant side is. POSITIVES 1) it was decorated cute and had fun selfie stations and props 2) the server (Mary) was nice (she made sure my friend whose birthday it was felt special) and she worked hard - she mentioned it was her 3rd day but honestly couldn't tell - she was great. 3) the food came quickly 4) the presentation of the special aloha menu items was super cute (see pics). NEGATIVES: 1) The food was blah(I hit the special Aloha burger, which was describe as juicy - it was not) .... tasted like frozen premade food - nothing fresh made. My French fries tasted like they had freezer burn-but I'm not the biggest fan of French fries so not worth sending back cause I wouldn't have eaten them anyway. 2) the "special" drinks were weak. expensive, with no prices on the menu. We all had a pina colada and personally I did not taste any alcohol in it whatsoever - but I thought this was just me because no one else at my table said anything and I like my drinks strong - but after we left I asked everyone their thoughts, and everyone agreed that no one tasted the alcohol 3) they automatically added an "auto tip" of 20% to our bills (don't know if this was because we had 5 people with 5 separate checks or if they do this to all checks - just something I thought was odd and for others to be aware of) 4) the music they were playing was too loud and not my taste - but they have a jukebox and the only other 2 people in the place paid their money to play the songs - so not really the restaurant's problem. Overall, it was an ok experience - the server and decor being the best part - but don't come here thinking you're going to get stellar food. I think if their chef learns to use fresh ingredients it could be a fabulous experience. read more

The Italian food was unrecognizable. I had Chicken Marsala. Sauce was very dark like it was burnt and overly salty. Chicken was tough and stringy. My friend had a meatball sandwich. It was very bland and the bun was over cooked. Other friends had chicken franchise. It looked like the chicken was deep fried. They need a cook that can actually cook. I can cook better. read more

Love this spot! Their peppers and sausage is really tasty. Service is hit or miss but the ambience is great.

Came for the Halloween bar- menu is a bit more limited than the front of house. Scenery was good and our server was great! Food was just so/so for me. The mozzarella sticks with 95% breading so we're just a miss for me all around. Also got a basket of fries which were just some typical Sysco fries. A little dry and needed seasoning but we can make do with that as that's not what we came for. Chicken Alfredo was good! Blacked chicken was even better. Chicken Parmesan was good but not great. Expected more, a bit thick of a crust but was still flavorful. Would be back to try other items maybe on the other end of the restaurant! We had a party of 3 and there was an auto tip added on- figure it was something to note, i personally hate an auto tip unless for a larger party which i understand. Our server would've gotten more if i did the tip myself, so note to watch the bill when you come here. Overall i would've given 3.5 stars, but will give 4 since 3 i feel would be a bit low. read more

This was the first time visiting Amici's, specifically for the holiday pop-up. Unfortunately, the service was awful. We waited 90 minutes for our food. When the food arrived it was cold. We told the staff we no longer wanted the food and politely asked for our checks. The staff cashing us out was extremely rude. Also, our server walked out mid-shift. No one notified us that they left. Also, fyi, they charge a 20% fee for the "Christmas pop up" the staff do not notify you, they leave a small piece of paper with tiny print explaining this policy on their tables. I recommend saving your time and money; there are plenty of other pop-ups that have better service and do not charge you a fee to be there. We left there went to Brew Garden. We received better service and warm food under 30 minutes. It's right down the street from Amici's. read more

Big building on the corner of West 130th and Royalton Rd. Can't miss. Now this review is just for the bar. It has a nice elegant restaurant with some outdoor seating as well but it also has a lounge. The bar this month has been turned into a CARNEVIL Bar for the Halloween season. Unbelievable decor throughout the bar. The smoked/fog cauldrons to the many animatronics and statues, this place has it all. It had some nice tunes going on as well. 1 pool table but many tables and bar seats available. They even put out a mini food menu and drinks to match the theme. We didn't try any food so again I'm not gonna write about that. We did have some drinks but also had a Crazy Clown shot or something like that which was in a syringe. Very tasty. Large. $7 per but worth it. Overall just on vibes, decor, staff and drinks this place is a 8.1. Fun for a night with friends or just to stop in and see the decorations. The staff did a great job with it. They do have a few Halloween things scheduled like a costume party, murder mystery dinner and trivia nights. Will have to give them a look. Fun time. read more

The food overall was okay, nothing special. We enjoyed the pistachio ricotta cake. Unfortunately, the service was good until the owner came out. We had a deal on the website Clipp. $15 cost for $30 worth of dining so we wanted to give this place a shot. We went with another couple and they had the same deal. We have two separate tabs and didn't use them together. Because we were at the same table, the owner would not honor them both separately. It didn't really make sense but okay, fine, if you don't want to honor them whatever. We didn't really understand why, but then she began telling us very rudely how this has happened several times and there is just nothing she can do about it and started lying about talking to the president of the company and how they don't profit off of the coupon whatsoever. All of that being said, the experience overall was not bad, but you can absolutely under all circumstances only use one coupon at a time if you use any deal websites, and definitely should avoid the owner if possible. Everyone else was great! Our waitress and her trainee were very kind and checked on us many times! read more

Amici Restaurant and Lounge - Pasta, meatball, fresh bread and salad. - Italian Near Me - North Royalton, Ohio

Went for the Valentines pop-up experience which the vibes were great however the food and service wasn't the best. The waitress didn't check on us much which is okay since it was busy but would walk by multiple times without noticing our waters have been empty. Would've loved to see some mocktail options on the drink menu. I'd give my chicken sandwich a 4/10, was expecting a lettuce leaf but it ended up being shredded Romain and also put underneath the grilled chicken and toppings which made it soggy and warm. Don't think I'd return unless it was another themed pop up. read more

We had a horrible experience at this restaurant and will never return. When we arrived the sign said seat yourself in the bar area. Two tables were open and filled with dirty dishes and napkins. We sat down expecting that the table would be cleared when the wait staff came over. We waited about 25 minutes and then the waiter came over. We gave him some dishes and put in our drink order. I asked for a rag to wipe the table down for him since the bar was busy. When the drinks came we put in an order for 3 appetizers. We put the remaining dishes in the table next to us that had turned over and still had all of it's dirty dishes (the 2 tables across from it were also empty and filled with dirty dishes) usually wait staff clear dishes when they drop the check but this was not happening. About 20 minutes after we ordered food we were told the kitchen would be closed for 30 minutes. No mention of the appetizers we already ordered. But this time we were sitting there over an hour. We asked to speak to a manager who listened apologized for the dirty tables and offered to take over our table himself. He brought the owner over who very rudely told us this was our fault bc we sat at a dirty table. There were no clean tables to sit at. She confirmed that the kitchen would be closed and any food would be at least an hour. At this point we asked her to comp our drinks and said we would go elsewhere for dinner. She refused to comp the drinks and said she said she wouldn't apologize for being busy. Plenty of restaurants are busy but they still clear tables and aren't rude when customers complain. We went to Nikkos and shout out to their staff. They were busy and still took good care of us! 2 other customers we saw at Amici came into Nikos while we were eating complaining about their lack of service at Amici. I wish I had read the Yelp reviews​​ regarding Amici before I went. There are a lot of unsatisfied customers who have written reviews. This restaurant really needs to adjust their attitude. read more

It was very busy for Saturday night and we had to wait for about 10 to 15 minutes before we were seated. We did have a reservation for a party of five. Once seated, the server was very friendly and brought water to the table very quickly. We then had our drink orders taken. I enjoyed the Amici punch. We had two orders of the fried calamari. It was very tasty. The calamari was lightly and very tender and flavorful. The marinara was delicious and it was made with love. The wedding soup had small tender meatballs, orzo and flavorful broth. The Around the Boot tasting sampler of spaghetti with a meatball, lasagne and eggplant parmigiana was sublime. The pasta was just all done enough, and the eggplant parmigiana on had a wonderful crust. dessert was good and we split a tiramisu and pistachio cake. The only challenge this evening was that the restaurant was very short staffed and the servers were doing their best but overwhelmed. I think on a different night the surface would be spot on. It was a good experience overall. I would definitely consider going back. read more

I don't normally leave reviews,but this pop up Christmas bar absolutely earned it. The place may look festive, but the service was anything but. After waiting far too long for anyone to acknowledge us, we ended up having to go to the bar ourselves just to get a drink- which completely defeats the purpose of paying premium prices. Speaking of prices, the drinks were way overpriced to the point of being insulting, especially considering the portions and lack of effort put into them. And the cherry on top? A mandatory 20% service charge... for what service exactly? Carrying our own drinks from the bar to the table. The whole experience felt like a cash grab wrapped in Christmas lights. There are plenty of holiday spots that truly care about customers. This is not one of them. Save your money and your holiday spirit. read more

I went here earlier this week with a large group for a holiday party. The staff was attentive, the food was great and the atmosphere was cheerful thanks to the adjacent holiday bar. I adore that this place is a family business ran by a mother- daughter duo. The food was great! Bread service is always good but here the bread was extra tasty!! I also was impressed with the tomato sauce that topped the chicken parm. I'd definitely come back here in a date or with a smaller group. I can't wait to try other items! read more

They are lucky we gave them star. Got there the tables had food and drinks all over itthe empty tables were are filled with food and drinks. We sat down and moved the things. Ordered apps and never got them. No service for around 45 minutes. When we finally got service it was because my friend yelled at the waiter because he went to clean off the table behind us. He took our orders came back two different times and told me the drink I ordered was unavailable. Asked for the manger because we were told the kitchen was closed but the table behind me got their food when we arrived way before them. The owner came out of the kitchen and started the kitchen wont be available for 30 minutes. We complained about our service and she started"it's your fault you sat at a dirty table". I had ordered my drink again before the manger came out and never got it. read more
