Our Guestbook
“ Visiting NYC, with a big group and it was a great place to eat when trying to eat it Little Italy. ”
“ Stopped on Mulberry St to grab some dinner. I was skeptical at first as this was on the main strip and as you know, restaurants on the strip can be touristy. There was no wait so I took a stab at it. My favorite dish was the olive oil and garlic spaghetti. Not sure if the pasta was fresh but it was cooked to perfection. This definitely made my night as I was craving plain pasta. Will definitely try again! ”
“ Amici Ristorante is such a charming, romantic spot in Little Italy! I loved the ambiance of the outdoor patio and it'd be a perfect date night spot. There's so many options in Little Italy to choose from, but I think we made the right choice. Our server was very friendly and they gave generous portions. ”
“ I came during the feast of San gennaro. I understand volume is high and may not reflect normal service. It took a long time to get food and server attention. But the place was busy. Great options. Lobster ravioli was just okay. Servers were very kind and apologetic for delays. Staff overall welcoming. Smaller restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. I'll come back again. ”
“ Excellent service right in the heart of Little Italy Manhattan. Staff is friendly and attentive. The food is satisfying and filling. No complaints. It's definitely worth visiting again. ”
“ I've found it - the best aglio e olio in town! It's such a simple dish that leaves no room to hide. The smallest shortcoming (raw garlic, undercooked pasta, overseasoning, etc.) can be disastrous. Fortunately, Amici's rendition is absolutely perfect. It is very garlic heavy but the garlic is cooked down perfectly resulting in an extremely flavorful, almost sweet, umami taste. The pasta was also cooked to perfection - al dente but still slurpable, just how I like it. They were generous with the portion, as well as with the complimentary sides of bread and freshly grated cheese. As close to what you can find in Europe as you can get! Considering this place on Mulberry Street in Little Italy, it does cater heavily to tourists but don't let that deter you. I actually think it's an underrated spot - it doesn't have the flashiest sign or trendiest menu but it's just damn good food at a relatively reasonable price. The service was excellent as well - the employees will say ciao bella here and treat you so well! ”
“ Ok by far one of the best Italian restaurants in Little Italy! The Penne Alla Vodka was one of the BEST dishes I've had in a loooooong time & the Tri Colore Insalata was also a refreshing and delicious! The salad was a huge portion size and I could barely finish it. The balsamic dressing was a nice addition to the salad and gave it a classic Italian flavor. We sat outside and enjoyed the weather & their patio was pleasant. The staff was a little slower since it was busy and lunch time, but overall it wasn't too much of a hassle! Just took a moment to get our check after we were done eating. Would recommend this place for food in Little Italy! ”
“ Ok, so I know I usually leave glowing reviews for most restaurants, but I seriously don't know where to start with this one... the hype man out front reeled us in, the waiter was charming, and served me the best Italian margarita ever! We moved through mouth watering burrata on a bed of arugula and the perfect amount of balsamic vinegar. Then we ordered linguini pescatore in white wine garlic sauce, gnocchi pesto, and spaghetti carbonara. This was quite honestly the best Italian dinner ever! And when I tell you every bite of the carbonara I little closed my eyes to enjoy it to the fullest, it is not a lie... please come visit, we will be back! ”
