AMICI Ristorante

With so many options just stopped here because I was tired of walking around. This place looked so cute! The man at the door said 5 min.... It in reality waited about 15/20 in the freeeeezing cold. The menu looked OK, (and it was)Once we got seated we were all grumpy but quickly ordered drinks. The waiter took long to take our food order We ordered Calamari, cheese ravioli, Arancini and fettuccine Alfredo. The food took forever to come out and we were exhausted, my daughter was literally falling asleep at the table. Luckily they bring out bread, and the olive oil on the table was delish! The food was good, the arancini was a little too doughy for my liking but it was decent. The fettuccine pasta seemed a little undercooked but the sauce itself was really good. The ravioli was good! And the calamari was good not too fishy and taste crunchy and well done! Would probably not go back here just because there are so many other options around.

Charsu and I came here for lunch. The prices were on par with other places for lunch. The prices were fair but, it didn't really seem like a lunch discount. I got a Shrimp Fra Diavolo for $20. My friend got a plain spaghetti with marinara for $11. The restaurant had a cozy feel to it. They were streaming a live tennis game when we arrived. The restaurant had good AC. We were served cold bread while waiting for our entrees. I didn't mind the bread being a bit colder than room temperature. However, my friend said it was disappointing that it wasn't warm.The food was tasty. The pasta was al dente. The sauce tasted fresh and was very flavorful. I also got tons of cheese and fresh cracked pepper. They do charge an automatic 20% regardless of the size of the party. The service was okay. They had a lot of people on staff but they were looking at the construction going on. I wouldn't say it's the best Italian place but, I found it to be decent quality for the price.

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'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!

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.

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!

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!

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.
