OUTSTANDING!!! If…read moreyou like authentic Italian food and not the sauce heavy oil laden foods most local places make then try this place!!! We grabbed a table on a Saturday night we were immediately impressed by the amazing smells upon entering . I spent my summers in Italy growing up and this place took me back . Our wonderful waitress and over and left some bread and oil while we looked at the menu. We agreed upon the califlower as an app . Hubby had the eggplant parm and I did the pasta with shrimp and broccoli . We also got a side of broccoli rabe, the meals also came with a nice side salad . The portions are a realistic smaller size and delicious. Unbelievably so! Fresh and great quality olive oil is used you can taste the difference. We were going to splurge and get dessert but they only had chocolate cake or ice cream so we declined . It is a byob. We honestly already said we will be going again next week! Please do yourself a favor and visit!

The service was lovely--our waiter was kind, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. We started with the fried artichoke hearts (a must!), burrata, calamari, mozzarella sticks, and the zucchini and eggplant chips--LORDY, those were insanely good. Every appetizer was better than the last. The main dishes were just as impressive. The chicken parm was crispy and flavorful, the gnocchi was melt-in-your-mouth perfect, and the sole francese was delicate and delicious. We were passing plates around the table because no one could decide which dish was their favorite! It's BYOB, which made it feel even more relaxed and special. Total hidden gem--we'll definitely be back!!!!

Was not disappointed at all, first off 50 bucks for 4 people, where can you go and spend 50 bucks for 4 people? I spent 33 bucks at Wendy's the other day for me and my kid. So 50 bucks for 4 people for 3 courses in awesome! We got the ceasar salad, which was good and they gave us plenty of dressing and didn't skimp on the croutons or cheese. Next was rigatoni with oil and garlic and I gotta say I don't know what they did to the roasted garlic but it was amazing, like I was picking all the little pieces out of the pan it was so good. Then we got the sausage and peppers and if that wasn't enough they threw in meatballs with it as well. There was more than enough food for the 4 of us and we are big eaters. The sauce was so good and that fact that we eating at home I could soak up all the sauce in my bread without fear of being stared at by other patrons. We plan on ordering again and plan on going to dine in as well, the place looked newly remodeled and was quite cute inside. 5 out of 5!

Located on the busy West Pleasant Avenue in Maywood, my partner, our friends, and I decided on Amici's, translated from the Italian meaning "friends." Upon arrival for some of us as first-timers at this family-owned BYOB neighborhood establishment, we were greeted by the staff and got a table for 5 inside one of the dining rooms by the window for a celebratory dinner. Outside dining is available, weather permitting. Their menu features authentic Italian staples such as wood-fired pizzas, classic pasta dishes, and homemade comfort food. As appetizers, we decided on the Rice Balls with vodka sauce. For our main meal, we opted for the Flounder Francese, Eggplant Parmigiana (one with spaghetti and another with linguini), Paccheri with Seafood, Roma Pizza, and Tossed Salad. Some meal accompanied by a side salad. Complimentary bread began our meal. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. One can tell they take pride in their ingredients and preparation. The pasta especially deserves all the hype, rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were healthy and suitable for a second meal. The prices were reasonable. The owner, Rosario, would personally visit each table for small talk. The entire staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our experience special; our server was Dawne. So, the next time one sits down to eat, take a moment to appreciate the experience. Savor the flavors, yes, but also relish the connections that form across the table. In a world that sometimes feels divided, food serves as a reminder of our shared connections. This is exactly how a business needs to be run; therefore, we highly recommend Amici's to anyone looking for true back-home dining.

Explained few items to us and couple suggestions. The menu choices are plentiful and if the other items on the menu are as proportioned as our meals were. I can not see you going wrong with their menu. I had the chicken and skirt steak quesadillas. And they were not just huge slices. They did not skimp on the meat inside. Full and filling. I could not eat all 4. 2 and half and I was done. My friend had the hot chicken sandwich. It was Hugh. 2 chicken breast on the bun. The piece I had from it. It had a nice kick to it. This place can be used as date night, friends hang out, or even sports at the bar. Family gatherings would go over well here. This is one place I'll come back to often I'm sure.

The bar and dining room are separate, so the dining area stays calm. It's spacious, and the tables aren't crammed together. Service was fast. Our dishes came out quickly after we ordered, and the pizza arrived only about 10 minutes later. Fried fish with salad: The greens had a really good dressing, with sesame and pistachio on top for crunch. The fish stayed crispy even under the salad, which is hard to pull off. The herby aioli on the side was a nice touch. Calamari: Fresh and crunchy, not greasy or rubbery. It comes with two dipping sauces, a creamy one and a red one, plus lemon. Pizza: A simple tomato pie with grated cheese. The tomato sauce tasted fresh and bright, and the crust was crunchy with nice char on the edges. Great food, quick service, and a beautiful room. I'd happily come back.

The restaurant was very modern with outdoor seating and valet parking. I got there at 530pm and the place was already so busy! Second floor lounge was so nice. Very nice ambiance with a full bar of top shelf liquor! We took up a section of the lounge area and ordered some shareables which were delicious. We got pizza, fries, calamari, and a charcuterie board. It was nice just sitting there and shooting the shit with friends. By the time it was 730pm, the place was packed. Lots of people go up there for a quick drink before their tables are ready. We left around that time and shockingly, there weren't a crowd of people waiting for tables downstairs, which I thought was nice- our food came out quick so I'm thinking their service is on point I'd love to come back here for a sit down dinner in their main dining hall! Food was good, service was great, drinks were delicious, and ambiance was relaxing!

Second, gnocchi with bolognese sauce. Gnocchi was so overcooked that it had no flavor and was mushy. Also, as one can see in the picture, it looked as though someone had taken a bite or two before it was served on our table. When I brought that up to our server, he just dismissed it. Third, lobster with linguine. It was good. But the presentation should be better. I am not sure if I would go back. I reached out to my friend who recommended it, and she replied that it has not been as consistent lately as it used to be, and they were also disappointed.

Other than that, a solid spot for Italian food if you enjoy that cuisine and are ok with the prices. The menu has a pretty large selection of foods, from pasta dishes and seafood to pizza to parms, chicken/veal, ravioli, and salads. (A note: I don't always like going out to Italian restaurants because they can be pricey for the value [and i can't help but confidently think that i could make it for a fraction of the price], especially if the pasta isn't homemade.) I ordered the penne with broccoli rabe ($25) and for that price I would have wanted A LOT of broccoli rabe to be satisfied and perhaps a few more ingredients. It was tasty and filling but I didn't make a good choice there. The salmon penne was also well flavored, with some nice salmon pieces, rich sauce, peas. They also give you complimentary bread and what looked somewhat like garlic bread; both were good but added to the carbolicious experience. Service was pretty attentive. There's a 3% upcharge if you pay with a credit card. It's a bit dark in the restaurant, which adds to the nice ambiance. Parking is around back and seems not that big but we had no trouble parking.

The flatbread was outstanding, crispy crust and enough steak but not overwhelming. For dinner we had the pork chop and the chilliean sea bass. Both were excellent. The pork chop was tender and flavorful and the sea bass was cooked properly and very tasty. But the star. Was the potato side dish. It was excellent. But the service left a bit to be desired. Our water glasses were never refilled during the meal, a bottled beer was ordered and brought but no glass was offered. After all our plates and silverware were cleared away with the appetizers, they were not replaced until after our meals were brought over. This is one of those places where your waiter takes the order, somebody else does the water, and different people bring the food. Though this is very common in a lot of restaurants it was just a bit disjointed. I may be being a bit hard on the servers but compared to other restaurants in the chain the service was a step down. There were other good things though. The value is very good. The food is definitely not overly pricy for what you get. We will try the restaurant again, hoping we were there on what was just an off night for the servers.
