    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

    Boot of Italy

    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.

    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!

    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.

    A perfect Italian tradition meal! The food was amazing! We were treated to an array of desserts including cannoli and cookie brownies! The Aloha bar was a very fun vibe with specialty drinks and decor!

    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.

    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.

    I have been here a handful of times in the last year. They always decorate for the holidays with specialty drinks. Super cute when decorated.Service is great. The one male bartender is very nice and makes bomb drinks. Food was also excellent.

    The pasta and meatballs were delicious! The sauce was almost a smoky flavor, but very tasty. The salads were great, homemade dressing fantastic. The cocktails were so fun! They have several different themes thruout the year where they change up the bar/ decor to celebrate holidays. We can't wait to go back! Staff was excellent friendly and so helpful.

    Invited to a Yelp event and this place didn't disappoint. Great atmosphere for anything you're looking for. Party room. Large/festive bar. And a cool restaurant area as well. Food was decent and service was great.

    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.

    Aloha pop-up bar themed food and drinks

    I've been visiting Amici for quite some time now and I am absolutely obsessed with all of their pop-up bars! They honestly have a theme for every holiday and season and put in so much effort and love into what they do! Definitely a super fun place to hang out at with friends! The staff is also amazing and super friendly

The ambiance is intimate enough where you can step aside to a table for a nice convo or large enough to create a dancing space where we you're at... which was exactly what some of us did because the music was just too tempting. From a more organized event to a late night par-tay mentality, the subtle and eclectic vibes of Lost put you in the right head space. Highly recommend!

I was excited to stop in for a cocktail. We love finding quaint new places with an interesting appeal and from afar this certainly met those details. However, we stopped in this past Saturday, for my daughter's birthday celebration. I was super pumped to come back - ( see sentences above! ) Anyway, 4 of us walked in ( there would be a total of 6 ) and while yes it's small, not too small for a small party of 6. There was a couple at the bar and a girl who was drinking a mimosa in a robe so I think it's safe to assume she was getting a treatment from the spa. We had been inside about 10-15 minutes with no bar tender or staff to be seen. I saw the couple received their drinks but while we were taking pics, I never saw a staff member- so I asked them if there was anyone taking orders. He said yes, they were in other room. Still nobody coming out. Our other two members of our party arrived and we looked at menus and still no one. Finally, a girl comes out. Walks over, does not even say hello, and says: do you want drinks?!?! We put our orders in and 1 minute later she comes out and says, um this table is reserved ( or something close to that ) in 20 minutes and actually we will probably need both tables soooo.........so I guess that was our que to say never mind. I guess had they come out and taken our order when we first arrived it would have been fine, but we weren't looking to do shots with our full size drinks. No apologies or anything just like ok bye when we said we would go somewhere else. So here's my input: 1. Sacred Hour- do not advertise this space to the outside community if you can only accommodate your clients that are receiving services. 2. Train your staff. A hello, A greeting, something, anything. Not - "do you want drinks?!" That in itself was so distasteful. Not to mention the prices of drinks are not cheap. This is an upscale place ( or appears to be ) 3. Bottom line- we will not return. Quite honestly, I'm not sure if I would return back to this location for my spa services either. I think that people have forgotten how to be courteous and polite. People do not realize ( or maybe they do and just don't care ) that the reason they stay in business is because of their customers. Treating your customers with kindness is epic. You know the old saying - you get more bees with honey?!? Well, Tribu- maybe you should rethink this and add it to your training instead of coffee or tea!
