Such a wonderful hidden Italian restaurant inside a hotel in Beverly Hills. Highly recommended.

This place has been my favorite restaurant for over 20 years. My mom lived around the corner and we'd eat here nearly every night when I'd come to visit. She always ordered the Pasta Alla Checca and I'd get the Pollo Al Limone or the Margherita Pizza. Love their white bean dip and fresh tomatoes with warm flatbread to munch on while waiting for our meal. When Martin was there, he'd always made sure to stop by the table to greet us and chat with my mom. When I got married and had kids of my own, walking together to Trattoria Amici was a tradition we continued when visiting "Grandma Barbara". The staff is always welcoming and always made us feel special. The food is incredible, lovely ambiance, a real hidden gem. Thank you for the memories, Cafe Amici.

Ok these pics didn't do it justice cuz we're all hangry and had 0 patience cozy Italian place to dine in and we're happy to find some place like this in BH. Super satisfied with the food, staffs, and romantic ambience!

Superb food and service in a down to earth atmosphere. Simone provided awesome service and was very accomodating.

Beautiful Café, the cuisine wasn't completely authentic but the ambience helped seal the deal. It felt very similar to the eateries you'll find all throughout Italy, the only detail that broke the illusion was of course, being in Beverly Hills. Not too pricy, but not inexpensive; the food was good enough for it to be more than justified when the cheque comes. And finally a place that allows reservations, we arrived late but the hostess was very accommodating. We will be back! Covid: Great distancing, felt very comfortable, better then the dozen or so we have been to since distanced dining began.

This restaurant serves food that tastes like love. I had here the best Gnocchi outside Italy! We really enjoyed this place and it felt like home. Thanks for having us, Abel!

This dish is incredibly delicious and flavorful. Daniel is the best person here. He is very polite, friendly, and respectful.

Came here last night for the Stella Groove collab and the vibe was everything 🍷✨ DJ spinning, red lighting, house music in the air, truffle in the room, mini skirts on repeat. 10/10 need another Stella Groove wine night ASAP.

I had the absolute best experience at Amici in Beverly Hills, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible server, Simone. From the moment we sat down, Simone made us feel welcome, cared for, and completely at ease. He was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive without ever being overbearing. Simone had fantastic recommendations and made the whole dinner feel special—like we were regulars, even though it was our first time. He brought such a fun, friendly energy to the table and made the evening truly memorable. If you’re dining at Amici, ask for Simone. He goes above and beyond and made our night unforgettable. Grazie mille, Simone! We’ll definitely be back. 🌟🇮🇹🍝

Great Food, So-So Service, but Amazing Crowd. The service could be better, and the presentation could use some work, but the food is genuinely delicious. What really makes this place special is the crowd — always filled with interesting, creative, and stylish people. It’s where LA’s artistic and intellectual scene gathers, and that alone makes it worth a visit.

Definitely a great little place kind of hidden, which I kind of like. Food is A++ super fresh and delicious. Staff were superstars!! atmosphere was perfect whether on your first date or celebrating a graduation. Will 100% be coming back.

Excellent service by Simone. High complement to the chef for making my Filet Minion order delivered steaming hot to the table. And the breaded chicken was absolutely perfect with the Italian salad. Great food, friendly and beautiful ambiance and lighting. The hostess and the guy who is the host and took us to the courtyard to be seated need a major customer service class and course to learn how to welcome the guests though Simone suggested the wine which was fantastic and the lady manager brought a rose flower to our table. Oh, and i suggest you leave enough room to eat after lunch or dinner for the chocolate lava cake and Italian coffee! The chocolate lave cake is to die for. We will be back for breakfast/brunch at a later weekends. P.S. bread with bruschetta and the home made hummus as the appetizer is unbelievable!

When I and my party arrived we were seated promptly and given menus + water in short order. We ordered within 10-15 minutes of being seated, but had to order both our appetizer and entrees in one go. The service was pretty fast and the wait staff seemed to be in good spirits. We received our entree which was a margherita pizza (which I unfortunately didn’t take a picture of) and it was pretty good a solid 3/5 in the flavor department. As for the entrees: Chicken and mashed potato with lemon and capers: This actually tasted quite nice, but the piece of chicken and overall portion was so small for a dish of that price. 4/5 Lasagna: The lasagna came out piping hot and was promptly devoured because it tasted so good! A bit heavy on the salt, but no complaints beyond that! 5/5 Bolognese: Really good portion size, bolognese sauce was full of flavor! 5/5 Risotto al funghi: Probably the largest portion size of any item my party ordered, but this had no flavor. It’s as if the salt and seasonings were used on all the previous dishes and nothing was leftover for this. 1/5 The food overall was really good, the service fast, and despite the prices being so expensive we ended up paying less than $200 for our 4 entrees and pizza. Thanks for the meal!

The ambiance is very romantic. The pizza with truffles was good. The risotto is average. The welcoming host was nice, but the server was super annoying with every five minutes coming and checking if we finished our plates. I get attention to guests is important, but that was overwhelming and becomes awkward when's so frequent. Otherwise, it is a cozy Italian place.

We used to be regulars at Amici, and have seen as it has gone through a few transitions. Like most places over the years, the prices have gone way up and they now charge for things (like bread) that used to be included. So, there is some nostalgia there for me. Having said that, it is a really great place to have a meal. The bread it delicious, the wine list is good and reasonable, and most dishes are really good. The most notable one for me continues to be the lasagna but you can have almost anything and not be disappointed (although not wowed like the lasagna). It is also one of the few places in West Hollywood for people of all ages. It is quiet and comfortable! If you have parents in town...it is the perfect place to go.

I ordered through Postmates for a second time and me and my husband were so dissapointed. The first time we ordered from here I ordered the white fish and it came on a beautiful bed of sliced bell peppers and vegetables. This time around it was the smallest thinnest piece of fish with spinach that had browned ends. The taste was fine but I was SO hungry after this micro fish portion I had to eat several macro bars to be able to sleep. My husband also compared his cacio de Pepe to ramen noodles. Overall just a sad overpriced meal, next time we will just order from Eataly because they seem to quality control their to go order a bit better.

Calamari was undercooked. The homemade pasta was great. Minestrone was terrible. The focaccia was good. Salmon salad was a joke - grossly over cooked salmon. The waiters were great but management Meh! Suggest they limit the menu to concentrate on better dishes. For these prices it should be great. It is newly opened so hopefully they will get things ironed out.

This restaurant should be shut down immediately until they learn how to run a kitchen and serve paying customers with even a shred of competence. Our Valentine’s Day dinner was, without exaggeration, the worst dining experience of my life. From start to finish, it was an absolute disaster—a masterclass in exactly how NOT to run a restaurant. 1. We arrived to find the valet full, which is understandable on a busy night. But when we asked the parking attendant where to park, he literally shrugged and looked away like we were an inconvenience. A competent staff member would’ve at least suggested parking options nearby. 2. Once seated, we realized our table had no forks. We asked multiple times, and they weren’t given to us until AFTER our food arrived. Unacceptable. 3. It took 20 minutes for a waiter to even acknowledge we existed. In that time, not a single person brought water, checked in, or explained the reason for the wait. 4. When the waiter finally showed up, we ordered two cocktails, water, bread, two appetizers, and two pasta dishes. Simple, right? Wrong. 5. The waiter then vanished into the abyss. We flagged down two other staff members just to get some water. One said they’d bring it and never returned. The other finally showed up 45 minutes later with a tiny bottle of water for two people. FYI - Still no forks. 6. At the 50-minute mark, our waiter resurfaced to vaguely assure us our food would arrive “soon”—without a single apology for the ridiculous wait. We asked about our cocktails, and he said, “Yes, those too.” 7. Ten minutes later, he had the audacity to come back and ask what our drink order was again. 8. Our first bites of food didn’t hit the table until 1.5 HOURS into the meal. The burrata appetizer was flavorless—the tomatoes tasted like water and one of the slices was a bit frozen in the middle. We asked once again for forks and they were finally brought to us. 9. Another 30 minutes passed before the entrees showed up. At this point, I had to go to the bar myself and order a drink because I’d lost faith in our waiter’s ability to function. 10. When the mains arrived TWO HOURS into the meal, the cacio e pepe was bland, and the seafood in the frutti di mare was dry and overcooked. 11. And the bread? That arrived AFTER the entrees. Cold. Stale. Pointless. We jokingly wondered if they had been baking it this whole time—clearly not. 12. The final insult: After all of this, we had to hunt down a staff member just to close out, because our waiter was once again missing in action. The restaurant then had the unmitigated gall to try and charge us the full amount with an automatic 20% gratuity and we had to ask for money off and were initially offered $40 off - not enough to even cover the drinks we ordered twice. Not a single staff member apologized or even acknowledged the disaster they put us through. Other patrons in the dining room looked frustrated. The table next to us asked for water 4 times. Others were trying to close out and were waiting for 30+ minutes for the check and another 20 for someone to charge their cards. Save your time and your money (and keep your stress levels lower) by going literally anywhere else.

Went for dinner on a Friday night and this is probably the worst dining experience I’ve ever had: -Waited 45 minutes for water and 1 hour for two cocktails. -Ordered bread, appetizers, and two pasta dishes. It took the appetizers 1.5 hours to arrive, entrees 2 hours to arrive, and the bread was cold and came at the end of the meal. -Ordered the burrata, cacio e pepe, and frutti de mare. The tomatoes with the burrata tasted like water, cacio e pepe had very little flavor, and some of the seafood was dry and overcooked in the frutti de mare. -The staff never acknowledged the extremely long wait times.
