My favorite place to meet my friends or just to go for cocktails. My favorite cocktail is blueberry Martini I been ordering it for years! I highly recommend - zucchini flowers with soft and delicious ricotta cheese and savory sauce, also my favorite is Branzino filet or Lobster Ravioli! They also have delicious and healthy beet salad. read more

The food and service were amazing!!! We had the Dove Sole with mashed potatoes and broccoli! This Dessert was delicious!! read more

Trattoria Amici - Chocolate Raspberry Mousse - Italian Near Me - Glendale, California

The pasta was fresh and flavorful, and the pizza had that perfect thin crust. Service was friendly, though a bit slow at times.

Sadly, after a raving review last time, we went again. The place was still the same - nice - but that's pretty much it. I knew they would not take reservations. You have to show up and they put you on a guest list. I showed up at 4 pm. They said I could have the table by 5 pm, which would have been perfect as my guests were 80+, fragile and we wanted to see the Christmas lighting with the snow at 7. Coming back at five, they told me the wait was another hour. I hated it. We eventually got to the table by 5:45 and were rushed through dinner, my wife's starter came after we had finished our entrees, which were so-so. No one cared. My mail afterward remained unanswered. I would never go again. read more

First time eating here. Wanted to celebrate our daughter passing her drivers exam. We did not make a reservation. Checked in at 7:30 and was told 20 minutes. Walked around then received a text to check-in and the wait was 40 minutes? I was confused so went to host who seemed confused also and said "there must be a glitch in the system, your table is ready." Restaurant seemed short staffed. Our waiter was dressed differently than the others and seemed to be manager. After taking our order, we had to flag him down to get water and someone else to request extra sauce. Food took quite some time to arrive. Spinach and beef was very tasty but it was lukewarm warm. If our food had taken so long, I would've sent it back but we were also starving. read more

I'm surprised the reviews are so low , the food was actually very delicious, the service was great and so was ambiance . I am going to be returning . This is my second time here . read more

Trattoria Amici - Ordered the fettuccini Alfredo and the mariners pizza - Italian Near Me - Glendale, California

Really delicious pasta is including a delicious carbonara and a wonderful white truffle in mushroom rigatoni. Thanks Luis!

After experiencing a disappointing meal during our previous lunch at Trattoria Amici, I hadn't planned to return. However, following a warm and apologetic email from the restaurant manager, as well as a nudge from my wife, we returned yesterday........and the food was stupendous! To begin with, the bread was so delicious and out-of-the-oven fresh, that I had to force myself not to polish off the basket. Likewise, the Burrata appetizer and my wife's soup was cooked to perfection. Finally, our main dishes, Lobster Ravioli and Salmon Alla Piastra were exquisite. On top of everything else, Jessica Luna, our waitress, was very friendly, attentive, & professional...just as one might expect from an upscale restaurant with high standards. Thus, this is definitely a 180-degree revision of my previous review. In this regard, I can attest to the fact that Trattoria Amici definitely has its feet on the ground following a year or so of remodeling. In sum, this beautifully designed restaurant offers everything a diner could ask for.....including delicious menu choices, impeccable service, and a vibrant ambiance. Highly Recommended! read more

I frequently visit this restaurant with my sister because it is conveniently located near my home and we have a beloved mushroom pasta dish, which we order without sausage. Typically, I have a satisfactory experience and enjoy the food. However, my most recent visit was beyond disappointing due to poor service, which left a lasting negative impression. Though I am not usually one to complain or call out individuals, I feel it is important to highlight that those in the hospitality industry should maintain a friendly demeanor, as nothing taints a dining experience more than unpleasant service. Upon arrival, the hostess, who rudely, instructed me to wait for my party in a manner that lacked professionalism, literally had me standing at the door till my party arrived. This encounter was so unsettling that I had to step outside to regain my composure. Once seated, our server, a tall gentleman, displayed a level of indifference that was quite shocking. The food was served cold, the beet salad was devoid of beets, and the lettuce was wilted, prompting me to send it back. Unfortunately, this experience has led me to reconsider returning to one of my favorite spots. My intention in sharing this review is to emphasize the importance of hospitality workers finding alternate careers if they lack the enthusiasm for their current roles since they work directly with people and food where a positive atmosphere is crucial. read more

Last night we had the worst experience in our life by visiting this establishment. To start, the person at the reception was so rude and uncooperative we felt like it was a big mistake to come here. He was unpolite, rude and arrogant. How can someone like that be the face of your restaurant! The food was at best mediocre. The pizza was worse than Dominos and the pastas not better than a third grade restaurant. To be fair the servers were polite and attentive. Other than that, a bad experience. They really need to pay attention to the quality of the food and get rid of the receptionist. I am sure America will not be happy to hear my story. read more

Waitstaff were unhelpful and brushed me off as I stood waiting to be guided to a table. I would have appreciated if someone took the time to assist me. I would suggest going to e-bar at Nordstrom for a quick drink or The Cheesecake Factory for food (their service is always outstanding). The food here is mediocre at best. read more

We love Amici and go on a regular basis usually at night. The staff and servers are amazing! They are friendly and attentive. We had Adrian for our server on our last visit and we were surprised to hear that he was a manager also. He was great and handled being a manager and server like a pro. read more

Just dined at Trattoria Amici, and overall, everything was good. The place is nice and peaceful , and the staff are professional. However we waited almost 35 minutes for the food but I considered it as a weekend traffic. The food was great, especially the Lasagna Verde made with spinach lasagna highly recommended! The Carbonara pasta was also well-made and sort of traditional, and the Pizza Margherita was good, although I expected a bit more for an Italian place. The Lemon Sorbet dessert was smooth and cool. read more

The food was incredibly mediocre. If I had cheap five dollar copy cats of the meals compared to these I wouldn't taste the difference. The salad leafs in our caesar salad were not fresh, and the pizza wasn't flavorful. The service is one of the most bad parts about this experience. We had a party of eight that was ready to be seated after walking up, they said they could only seat us in two different tables close to eachother or we would have to wait two hours. So obviously we chose the two different tables, however we were dumbfounded why we couldn't scoot closer as it was inches away. The most infuriating part was there was a huge table open, perfect for eight people, that was empty the whole time we were there. After speaking to management, they brushed us off. Before leaving (mind you it's been an hour) we see a two people take the seat at the eight people table even though their policy says "whole party must be there" and they proceed to just sit there for half an hour, chatting it up with one of the servers since their party isn't all there, because they knew eachother. Last but not least - ambience... hmm all the toilets in the female restrooms were clogged. Yes, all three. We had to wait outside the bathroom for a long time before even being able to pee. So overall not worth the couple hundred dollars, please save your money and go somewhere where your taste buds will taste the difference between dominos pizza and salads and authentic italian ones. Somewhere where you can empty your bladder quicker without waiting for them to repair toilets, and last but not least with better management and seating! read more

Great food! Our server was Jake and he was very attentive. Will definitely come back!

The services here are awful. The waiter brought the food to our table and I told him politely that's not what we had ordered, he just left the food on our table and walked away. Then the people from the table next to us saw what happened and said that looks like their food. We immediately handed the plates over to them. The table next to us ordered a same dish as us, theirs came with garlic bread but my didn't. Again, the waiter did not care at all. The food was just alright. read more

Subpar experience. Risotto was awful, pizza was ok. Service was awful. Even their bread was subpar. Not worth the prices! Not even for the great atmosphere! read more

I visited the Glendale Americana and saw this beautiful and crowded restaurant while I was browsing. It was 8pm on a Friday night, and I was able to get seated right away. The tables were a bit small, and we were seated very closely to another party. The restaurant was so busy, but I wish they spaced out the tables a bit more. Service was fast, and we got complimentary bread that was delicious. We ordered the fried calamari, broccoli and sausage pizza, and branzino. Food was delicious and generously sized. The calamari was well seasoned with fried carrot on top, and it's a perfect appetizer to share. The branzino was perfectly cooked and was paired with tender broccoli and tomatoes. The only reason I'm rating this is for the pizza. It was underwhelming. It tasted mediocre, and I wish we had ordered something else in place of it. However, overall the restaurant ambiance is nice and food is generally delicious with great portion size. read more

In the Americana Shopping plaza where the walk is an adventure in itself with the beautiful fountain, street booths, nice ambiance. Orders: *Complementary Bread w.Balsamic Vinegar & Oil- the bread was so fresh, it was hard not to stop at just 1 slice *Branzino- Grilled fish with plenty of vegetables (broccolini full of naturally sweet flavor with just a hint of salt, & diced basil tomato-this was not as fresh & the tomatoes started to get a little mushy, but ok). The fish was well salted & the crispy skin was well attended by the chef who cooked it perfectly. I would definitely order this again without hesitation. Braised Short Rib - this was a tender fall apart piece of meat that had a well executed sauce. The short rib was accompanied by a creamy risotto & 1 lonely baby carrot Filet mignon w.Mushroom- cooked medium well it had a nice mushroom sauce but it didn't hit the spot for me, so I wouldn't personally order it. Chicken Parmesan - a huge piece of breaded chicken smothered in fresh mozzarella was bursting with herbs & fresh tomato sauce. This would be a item I'd get again. Desserts: Panna Cotta w.Mixed Berries - the Panna cotta was a custard like pudding with berries & a sauce that had just enough sweetness to satisfy. Poached Pear - was a wine drenched pear with Panna cotta in the side. I'd like to compare this to an apple pie but a lot softer bc of the pear. We had to request this off the menu since it wasn't listed & im so glad they had it With a beautiful ambiance, attentive waiter, great food, I would gladly return. read more

horrible service X 1000000 . We sat down at our table at the patio ,a young man server did not greet us at all and went straight to " Are we ready to order ? "speaking in a rude and no eye contact way. We didnt even look into the menu yet, chill man. When we were asking his recommendations you can tell he just points to whatever on the menu with an attitude AGAIN. When he hand me the check, he just point to the check and did not speak a word. What up with that ????? Note : we are very polite people and still remain very clam and happy face. read more

Great service! Our wonderful server Jake was very responsive and well mannered! Seafood pasta was unbelievable! Thanks!

Horrible service the waiters just stare u down miserable first time n last thank you!

Catfish of restaurants, this place looks the part from a distance by falls short on delivery of flavor. I've walked past this restaurant multiple times and it's always packed, the food looks amazing. Pros: the cocktails are delicious, the ve tables are crispy and flavorful, and the ambiance is pretty romantic and chic. Cons: the food lacks flavor, the branzino is dry and bland, my carbonara came with curdled eggs, they did not emulsify in the sauce and my Arancini needed a pinch of salt. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

Service was great but the food was sub par. I felt like the pasta was overdone and there was nothing special about the flavors. The Arancini di riso had no short rib in it. They honestly tasted like fried Mac and cheese. The Rigatoni A'matriciana was not good. It didn't have enough Parmesan so it was just pasta with tomato. The lobster ravioli was also overpowered with tomato sauce. I was dissatisfied with the fact that it only came with only seven ravioli and they weren't stuffed with enough lobster it tasted like basic cheese ravioli. The only good thing is their wine selection. They honestly should have Olive Garden prices. Definitely not coming back... read more

I came here for dinner with my family. Service here is amazing! We were provided drinks and complimentary warm bread right away. I ordered the Pappardelle Alla Bolognese, and this was delicious! The pasta was cooked perfectly. My daughter had a cheese pizza, which she enjoyed. I highly recommend this restaurant, and I can't wait to come back for other dishes. read more

The hostess at the front desk (girl with black hair) was extremely rude and unprofessional. When we arrived, she didn't greet us properly, didn't make eye contact, and acted like we were bothering her by asking about the wait time. She was dismissive and clearly didn't care about customer service. A front desk is the first impression of any restaurant, and unfortunately, this experience made us feel unwelcome from the start. If the service at the door is this poor, it sets a negative tone for the rest of the visit. Management seriously needs to address how guests are being treated upon arrival. read more

Chicken and broccoli was delicious. Pappardelle was okay. The pasta was harder than we are used to. So perhaps it was under cooked. Lobster ravioli was okay. But would have preferred a creamier sauce. Service was okay. Not good. Not bad. The ambiance was nice. A good date spot. read more

A frequent Americana browser, I finally decided to try Trattoria. We got fried calamari, meatballs, some pizza, and the seafood spaghetti. Aside from the calamari being a little too fishy in the spaghetti, everything else was beyond delicious. I'm glad we finally made the stop. They do validate parking, have clean bathrooms, and delightful staff. read more

Walking into this restaurant was a great start, friendly atmosphere and service. My sister and I had wanted to stop by for lunch and try out this Italian cuisine. Tables were clean and servers were fast and helpful. We were started with an Italian bread and oil, I had ordered a margarita pizza to share and the pesto Gnocchi. Both were absolutely delicious. The pizza was perfect balance of cheese and sauce. Very tasty. The gnocchi was soft and melted in your ,mouth. Pesto was sweet but not overpowering. My sister tried the lobster ravioli which was also amazing. High quality food for a great price. Overall a great experiment, we will definitely be returning soon. Hungry for more! read more

We sat down at this café on the terrace, just wanting to enjoy a dessert and some coffee -- nothing complicated. But then the waiter tells us we can't order coffee unless we also order alcohol. Seriously? What kind of absurd, brainless policy is that? We were absolutely stunned. This is supposed to be a restaurant -- you have a full menu, and customers should be able to order whatever they damn well please. But no, apparently we were wrong to think this place operated with even a shred of common sense. The restaurant itself looks decent, but the service and these idiotic rules are a complete disgrace. We're never coming back, and we wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more
