While visiting Auburn, we decided to try Ariccia for dinner, and it ended up being one of the best…read moremeals we had during the trip. The restaurant has a really warm, cozy atmosphere with candlelit tables and a relaxed but slightly upscale feel. It's the kind of place that feels perfect for a nice dinner out without being overly formal. We started with the crispy Brussels sprouts, which were packed with flavor and had that perfect crispy texture. Definitely a great way to start the meal. For the mains, we ordered the shrimp pasta and the steak with fries. The shrimp pasta was creamy and comforting, with perfectly cooked shrimp and a rich sauce that coated the pasta without feeling too heavy. The steak was cooked well and topped with a buttery herb sauce that added a lot of flavor. The fries were crispy and salty -- exactly what you want alongside a steak. We also had a couple drinks with dinner which paired really nicely with the meal and added to the relaxed vibe of the night. What really stood out though was the service. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, and she actually chatted with us while we were eating which made the whole experience feel really welcoming. It almost felt like we were talking with family. Coming from California, that kind of warm and genuine interaction felt really refreshing. Overall, Ariccia made for a really enjoyable dinner while visiting Auburn. Between the cozy atmosphere, great food, and welcoming service, it's definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're in town and looking for a good Italian meal. If you go, I'd definitely recommend trying the Brussels sprouts and the shrimp pasta.

In my opinion, this has taken away some of the flavor that made them good. The chicken alfredo lacked flavor and was rather dry. The grilled chicken that was added to the pasta appeared unseasoned. You could get away with that if the pasta had flavor and wasn't dry, not the case here. Service was also lackluster. We received decent service up to the point of our food being served. She did not follow up with us for probably 15 minutes however. For $115 dollars, I expect high quality food and service. I will likely not go back for a while.

The sauce really carried the dish, but next time, I would try something else on the menu. What truly stood out? The service. Our waiter was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, a warm and welcoming spot with great food and even better service! Definitely worth a visit.

Garrett suggested Amsterdam for lunch. Located near the Auburn campus, Amsterdam is one of more well known eateries off campus. Students may not have eaten at Amsterdam, but most can point you in the right direction. I've been tricked by appearances before but Amsterdam is in a category of its own. There's a front and a back part of the building. But I didn't know that until we were led to our table in the back. The front part is a typical "smallish" restaurant with tight booths and tables. The decorations of impressionist painters adorn the walls giving the front dining room a warm inviting feel. When we were led to our table, I thought I was being led to the restrooms. We actually went past the restrooms down a small flight of stairs and into another large room. This beautiful back room was oozing the "hidden wine cellar" vibe throughout. There were tables and chairs in the center with smaller tables and chairs lining one wall and booths on another. Then there's a large full service bar lining the 3rd wall and a workstation on the 4th wall. The ceiling with hanging panels of wood moved the light beautifully and impressed me. There was also a large floor to ceiling wine rack next to our 4 top. Gary tried their Omelet. Three eggs served with conecuh sausage, bacon, onions, peppers, cheddar cheese, and potatoes. With the sourdough toast, the plating was immaculate. I didn't get to taste it, but Gary didn't have any deiicions/ Garrett opted for their Brunch special: Apple & Pecan Freeman toast. When it arrived to our table, we immediately noticed the large slices of French toast. As promised, the French toast was topped with slices of peaches and apples and butter brown sugar with white powder sugar as well. Again I didn't get to taste, but I savored it with my eye. Paul and I tried the Amsterdam Burger. He got some fries as his side, but I upgraded my side to a beautifully plated side salad. With the added fried egg, my patty was grilled to a perfect medium with just a hint of pink. Stacked with it was some lettuce, caramelized onions, applewood bacon, spicy pickles, tomato and their traditional burger sauce all squeezed together between 2 bun halves, it has to be stabbed with a long food pick to hold it together. It was juicy, tasty and just Yom Yom Yom Yom. Our server was attentive and checked on us frequently. Other notable menu items include fried brussels, lobster egg rolls, rum salmon, breakfast croissant, snickerdoodle pancakes, steak & eggs, egg white omelet and shrimp & grits. I was told their Crab Cake & Avocado is to die for. Meal prices are on the high end but Amsterdam understands how to elevate Southern comfort food.

We came Valentine's Day weekend from Columbus, GA after attending mass. He really wanted to take me here and I'm so glad he did. We had the bread and butter which was to die for! I think they gave us too much butter over bread ratio, but l'm not complaining haha. So warm, soft, fluffy and delish the bread was. I don't think we talked much when we had our wagyu steak main course cause it was so good, we couldn't say a word to each other. The pepper sauce with the perfectly cooked medium rare steak (which came cut in two pieces, which is a really genius move to serve steak by the way), with white asparagus, caramelized onion, rose petals, and just pure deliciousness. Literally chef's kiss. We also couldn't make up our mind about desserts cause they had a Valentine's dessert menu and the couple sitting next to us also recommended the cookies and milk. Yeah- I'm really lucky and very spoiled. Definitely hit a sugar high, but absolutely worth it. Servers and greeters were also all so kind and attentive. Definitely recommend :) I think this is the nicest dinner anyone has ever treated me to. Thanks for my amazing boyfriend- I'm so grateful.

I believe it effected some of the flavors of foods that were boiled in it, too. Gnocchi had some of the same off flavor. In addition, some of the flavors just feel way out of whack for totally unrelated reasons. Sauce that the duck came in was thin and overwhelmed by honey. The risotto it was served with seems like it should be rich and homey. But despite a crazy amount of added dairy still tasted thin and flat. Can't tell you why. Wonky seasoning? None of the dishes reflected any familiarity with acid to lighten or balance a dish. Fried green tomatoes were pretty mid despite a quality remoulade and a bunch of pimento cheese. Ingredients seem like they're decent quality. Desserts are legitimately top notch. Everyone recommends the peanut butter pie. And it is excellent, though pretty obviously not long out of the freezer. The affogato Is legitimately fantastic. And I'm not even talking about the pageantry of dumping the espresso on the salt ice cream. The combo is legitimately satisfying, like a well-rounded creamy candy. The plates are funky and cool and beautiful. The staff all seem like they're 19, attractive, and gregarious.
