    Had the spaghetti and meatballs with bruschetta flat bread , oddest thing ever from an Italian restaurant , I was expecting true bruschetta but sadly this flat bread was soggy and not good , as for the spaghetti and meatballs it was worse , dry no sauce and tasted old and the meatballs tasted like they were the cook from frozen kind .. this was not what we expecting after reading reviews of this place .. sadly we will not be returning ..

    Seafood linguini

    Decided to give Amica a try for a birthday celebration based upon the reviews posted here. Upon arrival was somewhat skeptical that we would have a nice evening as the parking lot and entrance was quite grubby with garbage about and a number of unsavory characters hanging about in front of the restaurant smoking. Was greeted by a friendly hostess and was promptly seated and we ordered drinks. We ordered calamari alla griglia and a garlic flatbread for a starter and for our mains, I had seafood linguini and my wife had the fettuccini Leslie. The flat bread was dismal with the bread being more like a tortilla than a flatbread, and the mozzarella topping was scant and not melted as one might expect. The calamari alla griglia was also sub par with the calamari being finely sliced with no evidence of being grilled what so ever. I was expecting a small whole squid with its body and tentacles grilled with charring and presented on a bed of lettuce. The mains were quite a bit better with fresh pasta and flavorful sauces. However, the seafood linguini was served without clams as they were out. I was informed that the chef would add additional mussels to make up for the lack of clams, but I didn't see any evidence of this. We ended our meal with tiramisu and espresso. The tiramisu appeared to be home made but was fairly bland with little espresso flavoring. All in all, we had a fairly enjoyable dining experience but the atmosphere wasn't the best.

    Amici's pizza. Delicious!!!

    Visited this restaurant after a good friend recommended it to me. I was blown away by how fresh the food was. It is a shame the restaurant is tucked away in a quiet plaza, the food is stunning!! Myself and some friends shared the Pizza Alla Diavolo - oven cooked and delicious. For my main I got the lasagna and OH MY! It was topped with a creamy béchamel sauce. Honestly, it was such good Italian food. I hope my review brings more people! I will definitely be visiting again

    Caprese, thin crust pizza. Delicious!

    An exceptionally clean restaurant with pleasant picnic pattern tablecloths, Amici is tucked inside a quiet plaza blocks away from the busy Cambridge street (which looks like any suburban strip mall in middle-America (i.e., mall-gas station-billboard-mall)). We ordered a pizza Caprese as it was a hot summer day, and had bread with olive oil. Handmade Neapolitan pizza made from fresh dough, and fresh, hand sliced ingredients (cheese, basil, tomato), it was exactly what we needed for a light lunch. They have a bar with 2 tvs, but they also have cappuccino on the menu. Not much of a patio since all you'd stare at is the parking lot, however, they do have frequent regulars who walk in for a cold beer and sit to enjoy each other's company. If we're in the area again, we'd definitely come back and try their dinner menu.

    Ordered the amici pizza. Was fantastic! The crust is super thin and crispy.

    The most delicious Italian cuisine and best carbonara I have ever had!…read more I used to eat at the Ennio's Waterloo location frequently when I was a university student at the Waterloo location, but this was my first time at the Kitchener location, and it was very nostalgic. When I was first introduced to the spaghetti carbonara, I have never had a carbonara in my life and it was the most delicious dish I have ever tasted that when I visited Italy and ordered spaghetti carbonara everywhere I went, I was very disappointed because I thought this dish at Ennio's was the standard. It is very rich and creamy, with a generous amount of bacon and mushrooms. The server added extra parm cheese and cracked peppers (I didn't tell him to stop for a very long time). We also got the veal, which was good, but the marinara spaghetti was mediocre. We also always get the calamari rustica, which is the best fried calamari I have ever tasted. It has a lightly breaded coat with a sweet and spicy sauce that is to die for. The portions are very generous, and although I tried to stuff myself and eat it all, I had 25% of my pasta left over and no room for dessert. I usually always get the tiramisu, which I was glad they still serve but unfortunately did not have any room in my stomach at all that day. The dishes at this Kitchener location are very consistent with what I remember from my visits to the Waterloo location and am very impressed with the portions. The prices have definitely gone up since my last visit years ago, but I still think it's reasonably priced in our current economy and worth every penny! I prefer the ambiance at the Waterloo location because it feels like a family owned pasta house, whereas, the Kitchener location feels more like a chain restaurant. The service was much slower (waited 10 minutes for menus and over 20 minutes for our appetizer and over 30 minutes for our main dishes on a not so busy Friday night at 9pm). However, the quality of the food and service are comparable between the two locations (food tastes similar and friendly staff). The parking at the Kitchener location is also easier than the Waterloo location since it is located in a large plaza. I would definitely go back to this location since this is closer to the 401 highway and more convenient for travellers driving through the city but if I had more time, I would go back to my nostalgic Waterloo location!

This place is downstairs and has a nice Italian vibe. Also plenty of parking so don't worry about that. They start you with this amazing flower pot bread with 2 types of butter (herb & cinnamon). The bread is good on its own but definitely try it with both butters. I ordered the arancini balls and I will say they were ok. For a main through I had the sausage pepperonata, man this was really good. It comes out in this red pot with a lid, so cute! The pasta was cooked perfectly. I recommend if you like spicy order a side of the bomba sauce to go with it , it will take it to the next level. Overall, good food and service.
