⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Came to Amici in Brentwood and had an absolutely fantastic experience. The food was amazing from start to finish, and the service was just as impressive friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. I started with the broccoli soup, which was rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For my main course, I had the veal chop, and it was a true standout cooked to perfection, tender, and packed with flavor. Every bite was excellent. Overall, this was a 10 out of 10 dining experience. Great food, great service, and a place I’ll definitely be returning to and recommending to others.

The service was excellent! The atmosphere was very pleasant. The fish, unfortunately, was overcooked in my opinion.

Absolutely one of the best Italian restaurants in Los Angeles. The owner is lovely. The staff is warm and friendly and the food is out of this world. We’re having our graduation celebration at this location because we know it’ll be a wonderful experience. Great place to go for family birthdays, family celebrations because the food is absolutely AMAZING.

My family and I went to Amici Brentwood for the first time and it did not disappoint. If you are looking for great authentic Italian cuisine look no further. The food was fantastic. We were absolutely pleased with everything from the food to the ambience to the service. Our server was Marco and he was phenomenal. The entire staff was great. This restaurant exceeded all our expectations and is now at the top of our list for Italian dining.

I really enjoyed my meal. I had the artichoke heart and hearts of palm salad, sole with a lemon sauce and a delicious apple strudel with vanilla ice cream. My only gripe is the lack of cocktails as they only serve wine. No other options...I am not a wine drinker so that was disappointing. The service was quite slow but everything I tasted was delicious.

Great spot for nice Italian food in a warm, family friendly environment. Great for groups. Took off one star because I wasn’t blown away by the overall experience relative to the prices, but at the end of the day Amici is aiming to be a comforting, consistent spot and it achieves that goal. Don’t miss the fried mushrooms and eggplant parm. For dessert, the chocolate lava cake was great as well!

The veal was great! The side of spinach and the seafood appetizer were not seasoned at all. No taste. The cheesecake was not very good either, and the portion was very small. Plus they forgot to bring it to me. Everyone at my table got their dessert except for me. After a long wait I had to remind them to bring it to me, and then it still took a long time to get it. Other than that, the service was fine.

Inconsistent. Terrible veal milanese (burnt, overcooked). Decent pasta and chicken. Strange service. One waiter was excellent, the other forgetful and smarmy. (Bad combo in that business…) We went because it was close and the better options were already booked. Says it all…

Surprisingly underwhelming! A very lackadaisical approach to service. Pointing to a table for our party of 4 to sit, in a corner with many boxes of wine stacked. I'm usually happy to sit beside wine bottles and boxes, but not really cheap products, yikes! I expected the service to be warm and welcoming, like many Italian restaurants around Santa Monica and Brentwood. Took a while to approach the table to take only food orders, and not even hinting if we wanted to order any beverages. The atmosphere was upbeat and energetic. The food was as expected, could have been a bit warmer when served. I suspect they were short on staff possibly. I wish they'd pay more attention to service.

Service folks didn't want to be there. They lost the ability to sit outside. The cacio e pepe is $27 and way overpriced and over salty. Lobster overcooked as well. Hopefully they can figure out what's going on.

Lady at the front was very nice but the pasta was terrible- red sauce pasta tastes like nothing we had to pull the RAO’S out of the pantry😬! Don’t waste ur money

As delivery people, we are treated with coldness, and it feels like they don’t want us to even step inside. Sometimes, they make us wait outside for no reason. Especially the tall person with perfectly styled hair who serves wine — whenever they see us, they immediately step away from the door and redirect us to someone else. My education (Computer Engineer) and knowledge are greater than theirs, but this kind of arrogance is unacceptable. I will come as a customer, give a tip to all the staff, and I will never forget how we were treated.
