Great food, nice staff. Terrible ambiance. Don't sit near the bar, kitchen, or pizza parlor area. That leaves a small area on the back. read more

Caffe Amici - Pizza Near Me - Selden, New York

Pizza is always fresh and consistent, big variety of specialty slices and my favorite l, different salad slices! Not to forget they have the most incredible house salad dressing and creamy balsamic dressing. Dining in, you get a generous portion and a side of pasta as well as soup or salad. Honestly, we have been coming here for 30 years and grew up watching Joe go from staff to management to owner. It's definitely one of our go to restaurants. They have specials, lubch and dinner menus, pasta night and a huge menu... easily somrthing for everyone and me and my son go out of our way at least once a week to eat here. Sauce is delicious and you can't beat the garlic knots! Highly recommend whether your looking for casual, take out, quick or a family dinner. Cafe Amici has everything and does it well! read more

When to take out they give you one little piece of end of the bread and cold garlic knots. They will never serve that the restaurant

Decent pizza here. Nothing too special but also nothing wrong with it. I do have other pizzerias I would rather go in this street than this though. Good atmosphere, good shopping center and easy to get to read more

Ordered catering for Christmas Eve. WOWZA!!! The baked clams were terrible, very fishy in smell.... The salad tasted very good and was fresh. The mussels were okay. The chicken Francese was good, but nothing great. We ordered the pasta purses and what a disappointment! We asked for sauce on the side, but it was covered in sauce. Both the sauce and noodles were not the same as when you order at the restaurant. Very very disappointing read more

Caffe Amici has long been a favorite for my family so I was very upset when my wife and I took the chance and ordered out the Veal Masala last night (we usually order the chicken version). The veal was tough and rubbery. Maybe it needed to be pounded out more or it was just a bad cut of meat. We expected a much better experience. I'm expecting better in the future. read more

Wraps are are great. Zeppoli's are great. Pizza is ok. Sometimes round pie is greasy, not enough cheese. Sometimes Sicilian isn't heated enough and the cheese is kinda firm and thick. Got Shrimp scampi entree tonight for take out for $30. We only ordered it because we realized on the way home from Satellite pizza that we should have got 2 orders from there and not just 1. We figured we'd just call it in at Cafe Amici which is close to home....big mistake. 8 medium, chewy shrimp, 1 small side. That's it. We picked pasta as a side, thank god, because it doesn't come with spaghetti/linguine like pretty much everywhere else. $30 for that. And their pasta was just penne in a small square tin. Satellite pizza was a dollar cheaper and came with huge shrimp and a ton of spaghetti. So delicious. Fed 3 people with that one. I'm sticking to wraps and zeppoli's from cafe amici from now on. read more

Oh boy 2025 and they changed their signature knots. I went in person around Christmas time and thought maybe, just maybe the knots were under appreciated that night. Well you see, tonight my family requested we take out, and of course had to order the garlic knots. Where the parmesan, where's the melted buttery goodness and overcooked???! Bring back the OG recipe. read more

I tried to make reservations at another Italian restaurant but I was given a hard time. Caffe amici answered the call in every way!!!! No problem - reservation no problem! Service and food - off the charts !!! Sometimes you lose but you win big!!! read more

I had two experiences there and both were outstanding. I two were groups of clubs I belong to. The service and waiters were so good, the couldn't do enough for us. The food was top quality. Everyone raved about it. I have been there often in the past, that's why I decided to go their with a group of people. I've gotten gift cards for there and always use them. I would give them a 10 if I could. read more

Went for their Tuesday pasta meal. Incredible portion! After the bread and soup couldn't really eat much, had to save room for the cheesecake! Had the leftovers for the next day. A little heavy handed on the garlic, but still so good read more

Good food, consistently good, used to go once a week But inflation shot me in the foot. Haven't been there in many many months read more

Rare for a pizza joint to have plain pizza this good. I wasn't expecting much but was impressed with the flavor. I feel like they add sharp cheeses as well which gives it a stronger flavor. 2 slices are so filling. read more

My wife and I just dined at Cafe Amici tonight. This is my second visit. Mondays and Tuesdays is Pasta night in addition to the regular menu. First , our server Matthew was just incredible. He was really attentive and friendly. We had Caesar salads, followed by Cavatelli with prosciutto, onions in a light red sauce; and linguine with white clam sauce. Both had cheesecake and choice of beverage, including wine, beer soda and at dessert, coffee or tea. $ 20.99. The pasta dishes are totally fresh and outstanding. The restaurant was really busy when we went slightly after 5. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Pasta night is the best! It's my go to for a night out with the girls, or date night. Went tonight with my girlfriends and we had Nick as our server. He was amazing, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Can't beat this deal. Highly recommend! read more

We eat here often, our choice for Italian. Love their pasta nights and chicken parm. Wednesday ordered takeout 2 chicken parm, side was pasta with vodka sauce. How do you manage to screw up chicken parm. The chicken was so tough it was almost like it was leftover. The side of pasta was just as bad and no vodka sauce. I wouldn't complain but I waited all day to have this, saved up my calories and treated myself. Not cheap either so now will need to find another place to get my chicken parm. Caffè Amici was a disappointment. read more

First time there, for a 50th Anniversary Party of some great friends. Since I live in Whitestone, I wasn't looking forward to the 1 hr & 20 minute drive, but it's what you do for friends, right?? What a FANTASTIC restaurant!!!! Great looking place with plenty of parking, pretty big place with high ceilings, creating a nice open space. We had our own area, since there were about 50 of us. Our host & hostess picked a great menu, which included a variety of appetizers (shellfish, mozzarella sticks & a buttress tomato dipping sauce. Next was a FANTASTIC pasta course, then a salad, then our choice of Main Course, which included a full variety of options. I had the Veal Parm, which was DEEEELISH, & HUGE!!! Oh, bottles of red & white wine were on each table, as well. Then cake and an assortment of Italian cookies, cannolis, etc. Every aspect of this party was PERFECT!!!! And I can't forget the AWESOME STAFF!!!! Cheerful, friendly & totally accommodating!!! If I lived closer, I'd be a regular, like my friends that made the party. DEFINITELY a place I'd go back to!!!! read more

Just had to write. I have been living out here for 4 years and have gotten take out dozens of times with no complaints. Had one of the best meals ever tonight for Valentine's Day. Everything was perfect . I ordered the special Chilean sea bass dish. It was one of the best seafood dishes I have ever eaten I don't know who your head chef is but he should make that a regular special for eternity. What a great night.. what a great meal. Nice job amicis read more

The food and service is good as well as the prices. The menu has plenty of entres to choose from. My only complaint is that the seating is a bit tight. read more

To start things off, the man who took my order was miserable, and ignorant. I ordered a Sicilian pizza, which was undercooked, and tasted like cardboard, this place used to be amazing, and now I would rather order Papa John's. Do better. read more

Delicious Italian food and friendly wait staff. My best friend brought me here and I was not disappointed. They have a very cozy atmosphere and the food is out of this world. Definitely give the lobster ravioli a try, it was the best one I've had yet! read more

Amazing food. Service is very friendly. the restaurant is always nice and clean. This is a place where I really enjoy taking my family if we're just grabbing and going or if we're sitting down to eat read more

The guy behind the counter very eager to help but didn't listen when I said just warm, it was dripping cheese and bubbling. I ask for no ice in my drink and it was full of ice. If you are going to serve people make sure you listen!!!!! read more

They are one of these places that each table has a bill. An aid who was cited figure out the bill of a group of 12 blind people. We were told manager wasn't available to override the "system ". When I said if I sat at another table you would take my check separately she said yes but that has to be done in the beginning so it can be done they just don't want to do it And this idea of making the customer figure out what their check is is grossly inappropriate. I definitely asked for the salad to come without vinaigrette and if it couldn't come without vinaigrette they should've said something because I am sensitive to vinegar makes me cough and my throat closes up I'm miserable experience The tip should have went to the aid of the blind person not the waitress They did donate to help the blind people of Suffolk County so the restaurant does have a social conscience. read more

Great food and service. Best prices and value for your money for catering! First of all having the option to have them deliver and set up the sternos and food was the best thing we could have done. Their staff is very friendly and professional and had everything set up in a few minutes. The food was amazing!!! Thank you so much for making our party a success!!! read more

I will recommend this restaurant every time! I had a friend come in from overseas and I immediately had to bring her here. They have pasta nights(usually tuesday and wednesday), where you can get a starter, a drink of choice, an entree and a small dessert for basically the same price you would pay during the week. They are accommodating if you want a different type of sauce, and they also allow you to order off the pizza menu as well. My husband ordered the stromboli because he didn't want pizza and they brought it right out. there is also a small area of self seating where you can eat pizza if you order right from the counter. The hostess stand is a little awkward because it's further into the restaurant so when you are waiting to be seated alot of times you are in the way and don't really know where to stand. read more

Can't go wrong with Caffe Amici, their pizzas are always great! Never had a bad experience there. Would recommend! read more

I grew up in Selden and this was our families go to pizza joint. I went back this weekend for a visit and even though we were up in Port Jeff Cafe Amici was the only place open past 10 Pm. I called to order a couple of pies. Took a little longer than I was quoted but oh my it was just as delicious as I remember. I might have been a bit biased for nastalgia reasons but it was incredible and very close to what I remember minus the 90's neon lights in the back "fine dining" area. Turns out I even went to high school with the guy who was running the place and the staff was super friendly. read more

Ordered 2 pizzas and Italian hoagie. Cheese on hoagie tasted weird and more than half of the cheese pizza was burnt to the point of inedible. read more

I am a big fan of Cafe Amici but yesterday the food at lunch was exceptional. keep up the great work!

I went with my wife and two small kids. Had the pollo Mona Lisa Chicken it was excellent. Service was superb. Clean and great place.. If you love Italian food this is the place for you. Really like this place and been out in a little bit for a nice Italian meal. This is perfect. read more

My husband and I went there for dinner for my birthday on 8/18/24. We got a table right away. He ordered an appetizer of bruschetta and I got a small soup of tortellini's in chicken broth. He ordered a seafood dish of shrimp and scallops with thin spaghetti in garlic olive oil. And I ordered Chicken Masala w/farfalle pasta in marsala sauce. He got a soup with his meal and i got a soup to go with mine. He had a beer and i had a ginger ale with our meals. The garlic knots and all the food and appetizers were very delicious! The service was excellent as well as the ambiance. This is our favorite restaurant! The last time we came here we had a problem with the waiter arguing with us. My husband had ordered broccoli rabe and the waiter brought out escarole! We told him he made a mistake and he argued with us that the escarole was broccoli rabe. We eat broccoli rabe all the time and know the difference between the two! But this time we got a excellent young man as a waiter, who did not argue with us and was very accommodating. My husband told the manager when we were leaving how good he was! He got a excellent tip! read more

You can't go wrong with Italian food. Well, perhaps if you're gluten free or watching your carb intake or you're a vegetarian...okay, well if you don't mind indulging, try Caffe Amici. Back when my girlfriend and I first started dating, she took me here for a sit down dinner on a Tuesday night. Why Tuesday? Well CA boasts a pretty awesome dinner special on those evenings (and Mondays) and I remember feeling quite pleased by the end of it (even if they were out of their signature garlic knots). That was before my Yelping days. Flash forward to a few weeks ago, when we were heading back from Smith Haven Mall and unsure what to eat for dinner. Then pizza came to mind. Amici? Surely! I actually hadn't had their pizza on that Tuesday years ago so I was hoping for similar quality to their pasta. We'll call it a success. I mean the glass case holding pizzas was gargantuan with so many different styles and some unique options too. One of those original items were buffalo garlic knots. Huh? I've never heard of such a thing, but you don't have to tell me twice. Besides those, we grabbed a few regulars knots (finally!) and several individual slices of varying toppings. It took a few minutes to decide this, but the staff was patient and constantly ready for our eventual order. Back home we dove into the box of doughy goodies. I had chosen a grandma slice and a spinach pinwheel while the lady went for a white and a chicken parmesan slice. The pinwheel was chopped in half (I like when they do that) which made it easier to chow down on. The spinach wasn't watery and worked well with the cheese and crust. My grandma did the trick as well (that sounds weird). The GF liked her slices too. As for the knots, the buffalo had a hint of that flavoring though not as spicy as I might've hoped. Those original knots were worth the wait. A wee bit oily, but large and in charge. Overall, Caffe Amici is a quality Italian dining location worthy of a trip. It's got a chic yet comfy style, if you're looking to sit down and stay awhile (Mondays/Tuesdays!), and a nice pizza selection when on the move. I'll be back again soon, probably with the female, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was to start off the week. Knots anyone? read more

See all

I ve gone there several times had positive experiences the last time we went it was terrible service was awful food sub par asked to speak to manager never came over waitress said I offered to give you something else I said yes but that was the same time you handed me the check what was my party suppose to do wait now we already waited for her through the whole meal won't be back read more

Food was good. Atmosphere was great. Went with a large party and were accommodated. Food came out warm and was delicious and the garlic knots were absolutely delicious. read more

My friends and I come here once a month on their pasta Tuesdays, we've been doing this for many years. We've always been so happy with the service, the food, everything. However the last few times we went things seemed to have drastically changed. Multiple times getting our orders completely wrong. Some examples being; ordering a dish with no meat in the sauce, came with meat. Asking for extra mozzarella melted on-top of the pasta, they bring out cold shredded pasta and charged $7.00 for "salad mozzarella". Asking for their cheesecake with the delicious raspberry topping, coming out completely sloppy to the point where we didn't eat it. Now I know these things sound petty but after coming here for so many years and being so happy to coming four times in a row and being unhappy I think it's important for the restaurant to know. New change in management? Undertrained staff? New chefs? There was one other thing that really, really sealed the deal for us to take a break from this restaurant for a while was the fact that we made a reservation-as usual, showed up on time and still waited for almost an hour. When we got to our table we were sitting right under the air conditioning vent and it was leaking profusely...dripping on all of us, dripping in our food, we were not happy. When we asked if we could move to the table next to us the hostess told us no, they have reservations for that table in 45 minutes but if we wanted to get up and wait around for another table we could...also not knowing how long that could be. We asked again to please move after the drips fell in my drink and the brown stains on my white shirt was it for me. Obviously something needs to be cleaned and fixed. We moved to the table next to us, the hostess and three waitresses came to us with such horrible attitudes, then telling us if we sit here it's going to drip on us too so there's no point in moving, just deal with it. That was the point when we decided to leave. One of our friends said to just let it go, let's stay and next time we can go elsewhere. We ordered, two of the dishes coming out differently than how it was ordered and one of the girls ended up just not eating it at all. Totally understandable for there to be a mistake here and there. That's life, nothing will ever be perfect. But this has been consecutive the past 4 - 5 times. Unfortunately we won't be returning for quite sometime and we are eager to try something new. We are hoping to return in the future with better staff, more consideration and less attitude from staff. There was no need to speak to us with such a disgusting tone just for the simple fact that we asked to move. Step it up guys, this place used to be amazing. read more

Nice place. ok food. the pumpkin. cheesecake was great! The only issue was that it was so cold. The table next to us was complaining about the same thing. read more

Good prices and great food Love pasta night Monday & Tuesday nights Great deal !!!! read more

First of all I had a wonderful experience. I know that customer complaints and altercations are usually frowned upon by staff, but my experience was the total opposite. I had ordered the lobster ravioli on Uber for pick up, and I was offered a gluten-free option (not for allergy reasons, just personal diet choice), which I selected assuming it would be gluten-free ravioli. However, once at the restaurant, I was given a plate with what looked like rigatoni pasta instead of ravioli. I inquired with the staff, and they informed me that this was their only gluten-free option. I went back to the car, and my partner, for whom the pasta was intended, was not happy because there was no lobster or ravioli. I returned to the restaurant and spoke with the manager, explained the miscommunication and the error on my part, and asked if I could get a little ravioli. Not only did she agree, but she was also very kind and courteous. The food was amazing. This was my first experience with this restaurant, but I will definitely be back. read more
