We love this place! Best kept secret, as you can still walk in and get a table most of the time. Go…read morewhile that's still a thing! :D I was raised by Sicilians (sounds very "raised by wolves" which, if you've been through a holiday dinner where your entire family ends up in a passionate *ahem* discussion, is not entirely inaccurate); excellent Italian food is the standard. As a result, I'm a little difficult to please with restaurant Italian food. Amici's is one of a very few Italian restaurants I'll keep going back to. Most of it is, in fact, the food. I have not had one bad bite there - ever! Whether it's lasagna or wood fired pizza or pesto pasta or chicken Marsala or manicotti or steak or dessert... you get the point - it's scrumptious. Man, I'm hungry now. LOL The icing on the cake, though, are the employees. Nearly everyone we've spoken to has worked there for years and has only positive things to say about working there. That says something about the management/owners, right? It feels good to support a restaurant that doesn't treat its employees like fearful minions! The restaurant itself is lovely. It's clean, nicely decorated, unassuming and comfortable for either dressing up for date night and vino, or dropping in wearing jeans for pizza and beer (I mean, so to speak - we don't drink... did I mention the n/a Amici punch is delicious?). My only caveat is I've got a sweet tooth so I'd love to see them expand their dessert collection! Special kudos to John, a server in his early 60s. He took great care of us the first time we went there, and we make a special point to say hi to him every time we visit. He always remembers us! Suffice it to say, we will be going back. When we remember our monthly "nicer" date nights, we go to Amici's.

We tried them for dinner this past week and by our experience nothing has changed. Service was horrible and non existent. Had to hail our server three times to get additional drinks. Also after the food was literally dropped at the table we learned it was not hot. That took more time to get the server and additional time to get the meal refired. The place was fairly empty but lots of dirty tables and stuff on the floor. Not to good So again, sorry but this was the last visit.

Not only are they friendly and have excellent service, their selection of meats of all kinds is a carnivorous dream. They have some exotic meats and your usual everyday cuts.

The atmosphere is warm and lively, the location is perfect, and the entire staff made the experience feel elevated without being pretentious. We had a 5:15 dinner reservation and the restaurant was already packed, which honestly says a lot. The staff was incredibly kind and knowledgeable about both the wine list and menu, and every recommendation felt thoughtfully curated. The food was phenomenal. We have the chef special which was a chicken skin dish and the short rib pasta with the added burrata; flavorful, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. You can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. Definitely one of those places that feels just as good for a casual night out as it does for celebrating something special. Already looking forward to coming back.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this local business!…read more I first found them a few years ago while doing my yearly winter craft bazaar shopping at local community locations. Each year, I would wait patiently to stock up on my favourtie spices from this company. It was also a chance to see the lovely couple who is so friendly and generous that sells their spices! The wife would be at one bazaar and her husband would be at another location... so cute! Their spices are dried and packed with punch! My favourites are: garlic sesame; creamy galic; wasabi - packed with lots of garlic is how I like it! It is great for making easy party dips and lovely to put on meats or sauces for baking. A very nice gift idea too for those friends who love to cook =D Interestly, while visiting Puyallup Farmers Market this past weekend, I came upon their booth! It wasn't sold by the lovely couple I know, so I am not sure if its a family business or not. The man was vague in sharing details... but their packaging is local and I know I'll see them again at the local winter bazaars. Give them a try! Currently, you can purchase their spices through ordering via facebook or email... or do like I do, and wait for the winter bazaars! www.facebook.com/pages/For-the-Love-of-Pasta

Finally got the opportunity to enjoy one of their lunch specials & fix for a sweet tooth. I ordered the Weekday Special, which had so many options it was hard to decide, but I ended up choosing the Meatball Grinder. The Weekday Special comes with a side salad and a choice of dressings. The Meatball Grinder is savory, filling & delicious! Really loved the soft bread and the red sauce. It's a two meal kind of sandwich (for me). The chocolate chip cookies hit the sweet tooth craving just right. Although not homemade (at least I don't think they are) still yummy.
