Amici Banquet Restaurant

I was in the area and looked at the Yelp reviews. As you can see, the reviews are mixed with service being a particular concern. The good seemed to be a plus for I tried it. I was solo so I sat at the bar. I was the only one at the bar dnd a couple were seated at the table. In spite of this, the attention I received from the bartender was slow and poor. I asked for information on wine options. He gave me a menu and walked away. It took a while before he returned to take my order. I ordered the salmon piccata and a side salad. The salad was fresh and plentiful. The salmon was cooked perfectly. I only wish the pasta had been better drained and that there had been more capers. Not enough piccata!!I told a fellow diner that I had Daren the numerous mixed reviews. She said there was a new owner after Covid. Although the quality of the food had improved, the service had not. It appears that is still true.

Not sure where to start with this one. During my current trip to St Augustine I decided to stop by this restaurant for some pasta.The good: they provided free bread to get you started. We ordered the corn ribs as an app. This was an interesting idea but we quite enjoyed it. The bad: we walked in and there wasn't anyone greeting. We waited for a host looking like idiots standing there. The food took a ridiculous amount of time and was sub par. Tasteless cold chicken, tasteless Alfredo sauce, a bake ziti which didn't actually use ziti pasta. The worst: i had to change my menu option because they refused to swap red sauce for white as I would have heart burn eating red sauce at night. The food felt like it was their baquet left overs and they wouldn't compromise to make our experience better. We were a party of 3 and only 1 finished their meal. The chicken Alfredo and baked ziti (again not ziti) were not finished and we refused a box to take it. 100% do not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning

What a find! We have only driven by about 1,000 times! We always just forget about it as we are always going to or coming from the beach when we pass it.Our server, Amanda was great! The food is OUTSTANDING!! This is now a new problem! We will be going here at least once a week. They have Prime Rib on Mondays, which require a reservation if you plan on getting any. We ended up ordering other things which were equally outstanding and we learned a lesson about the prime rib day.HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!

The food is always spot on and service from Amanda and the others amazing. You will like th ambiance not super fancy but Italian looking. We eat here at least once a week. Oh do the datil celery soup!

Server, Arianna was excellent with our rowdy party of 8 adults. She kept the 4 couples clear and separate checks was an ease. Food was excellent - all ordered an appetizer and entree - no photos as we were hungry and jumped right in when food hit the table. Ate before headed to the party room for a night of comedy! Unfortunately, we missed out on dessert - so we'll have to go back for that! The iPad menu was a hit with all of us - easy to use and fun to "see" the menu/food photos!! The Food Mafia and his lovely wife have a hit there! Would definitely recommend!

A nice place to stop for a pasta fix! Located nearby to where we were staying, we decided to check Amici out. we located in a large shopping center so there's plenty of parking with easy access. This is a pretty laid-back restaurant with a full bar and super casual, no-frills, dining area. There is a more formal area towards the back that caters for special events.We were pleasantly greeted and our server patiently answered all of our questions. We were pleasantly surprised to find zucchini noodles on the menu which is great when you're watching your carbs. Loved the digital menus there were offered on an iPad.A nice variety of your basic dishes and a nice tasting tomato sauce. Reasonably priced and a wide variety of desserts if you still have room. Mange!

LocationJust south of AmphitheaterParkingLarge lotAtmosphereCozy Italian SeatingBar area-tables, booths-did not see dining room or banquet area.ServiceFriendly, immediate, menus not readily availableFood and beverageWe went before the Amphitheater concert-didn't receive or see a menu-however it was happy hour and we had the house wine-a light Cabernet from Italy. The guest beside us had the corn-rolls off the cob-beautiful. The garlic wings were delicious. Regular serving-8, happy hour serving-@4. The loaded plated of entrees looked so delicious! SummaryGreat pre-concert venue-friendly service, awesome food and beverage.

Causal dining experience, quiet enough to hold conversations. They can book large and small groups. Went with my family while on vacation. Super easy to get a table, with plenty of openings. The chicken parm was solid. Enjoyed the flavor of the sauce.

We went to Amici's last night for the first time. Food and service was amazing. Our waitress, Amanda, provided great service and was very personable. We got 2 of their specials, blackened salmon with garden risotto and the rib cannelloni. The corn rib appetizer was fantastic but a little spicy. Dessert was raspberry cheesecake. We will definitely go back

Meh. Nothing special, but not bad. Stereotypical 'Italian' fare with all the standard pasta and sauces. Reasonable portions. Dated ambiance. Attentive staff. The marinara is bland. But the eggplant was crispy in the Parmesan dish.
