After driving pass this restaurant several times and seeing that it was always crowded, on Thursday February 17^th, my daughter Brandy & decided that we would venture in to try it  out.  Plus we were looking for an Italian restaurant.  What we found upon entering was a very friendly staff who greeted us and we were seated promptly.  Our server was Kennedy who was such a wonderful and informative person with a great personality.  She was also very patient while we made up our minds.   

As you can see by the picture with Big Domenick (one of the owners) who made my pizza in the wood burning oven that was shipped all the way from Italy – told to me by Rosario (one of the owners), oh my my my!  You can taste the quality ingredients in the pizza so savory, fresh buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, San Marzano tomato sauce and the crust, thin, light and airy, oh so good, goody good good!

 Can we talk about the chicken saltimbocca with linguine?  Saltimbocca means “jump in the mouth” with flavor.  Well it certainly lives up to its meaning.  The chicken breast was well seasoned and layered with spinach and a thin slice of prosciutto, topped with fresh mozzarella, garnish with fried sage leaves.  Not sure but the sauce that was tossed on the linguine tasted a bit like a marsala sauce, yum!  Brandy ordered the chicken parmigiana but loved my dish.  The very next day, we back to Amici’s and she order the chicken saltimbocca for takeout.

While we were dining, shifts changed and we met Ndeye who replaced Kennedy who was observant, attentive and friendly.   Great customer service overall.

Even though Amici’s gets busy, it maintains a very warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere while serving good food.  I have my eye on another item on their menu for the next time I visit and maybe I’ll have room for dessert.  In the meantime, you should just go and say hello to Rosario for me.
