Amici Ristorante

Amici Ristorante is an amazing Italian Restaurant. I highly recommend the Lasagna and the Chicken Marsala. The service was outstanding and all of the food from the appetizers to the entrees to the desserts tasted great. Everyone in our party loved the food. We will be back soon.

even here several times. Love the italian cuisine. Food is always delicious and well prepared. Great service from an excelled staff. Great for a date.

Had a unbelievable meal tonight. It was our first time back in a while and we loved the new renovations. Sat in outside patio and loved it. Great ambiance. Table had salltimboca, chx parm, arancini, beefsteak salad special and Ceasar salad. Amici’s will be our new go to place. Great meal and great service.

A terrific meal, delicious food and great food! Dessert was delicious too! Had linguini with clam sauce, linguini carbonera and a special stuffed pasta dish and all were out of this world! The clam sauce was light not greasy (hate when it is all oil) and the carbonera also light and flavorful. The house special stuffed pasta was like a lasagna but with chicken and ham and just delicious and filling! We had 2 Creme Brulee and the apple crisp and the were fabulous!

Solid Italian food. Nice atmosphere. Lovely staff. This is a top pick. Best to make a reservation on the weekends.

The best Italian in the area I discovered this place not very long ago. It is amazing I have never had such good Italian before very reasonable prices and extremely kind staff . I have been here 3x since and every time is great we were waiting on service for a bit and the guy apologized and took our drinks off the bill! Very kind people I highly recommend coming here!

Awesome as always. The food is so delicious. I am Italian and dont like sauce other than my family homemade. This was super close and i'll have it there any time. My daughter is a number one fan. Saved some for my boyfriend. Wanted it all!

The food is only outmatched by the service, both of which were incredible. The bathrooms were also clean!

Wow talk about a gem this restaurant is awesome. Great food, attentive service and great inside or patio seating. You will love this culinary experience ❤️

It's a shame we were not able to eat here because there was no seating however while we were waiting I did get to glance at a couple of the dishes being served and looked amazing well maybe next time I come up I'll be able to try the food and give an excellent review.

My first time dining here while on a business trip to Buffalo… But it will certainly not be my last. The staff were amazingly, friendly and professional, food was exquisite, and I thought it was a hidden gem that I look forward to visiting often on my trips here. I highly recommend!

I am SO tired of people writing reviews to complain, so I'm writing one to SING PRAISES!! I'm embarrassed to say that this was my first visit, but it absolutely will not be the last! Supposedly, there was a little snafu before I arrived and my dad and uncle waited a little bit to be greeted. When I arrived, a wine, cocktail, and appetizer order was placed. Then, 30 seconds later bread service and a complimentary appetizer hit the table with apologies for their wait for a server!! Not necessary, but thoroughly appreciated! It was absolutely fantastic the whole time after! Well executed, tasty, HOT, food. Great service! Super reasonable prices. And did I mention, GREAT FOOD!! I didn't have a want or need for anything while there. This place should be sold out every night they are open!

From the moment we walked in we were treated with class ! Dinner was superb 👌 Looking forward to going back soon 😀 Nice job by all the employees especially Dom !

Absolutely a great place for great Italian cuisine! It's our go-to place when we desire a replica of home made cooking... The staff are nothing but profesional and enjoying to have cater to us...

Haven't been to Amici Ristorante in years and so glad I went back. Entire place has been renovated. The food and staff were amazing. Had our parents 60th wedding anniv dinner - small party of 10. Our waiter Dominic was very attentive and accommodating, as was the young man who came to remove plates and box whatever we were taking home - top notch service. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Cheers to the chef - phenomenal food!

We had a lovely meal on Tuesday night. I had the butternut squash ravioli and it was absolutely delicious. We've had a lot of good meals, but my dinner was memorable. It was a generous serving; the squash was beautifully prepared and there were candied pecans that really elevated the flavor. I really enjoyed it. The bread was also very good and my family really enjoyed the shrimp scampi, veal Marsala, and beef ragout.

I gotta say, my wife and I have visited your restaurant quite a few times and every time we have been in there has been quite exceptional to say the least! Your food is amazing and never disappoints! You by far have the best lobster ravioli dish in Buffalo! And your service is amazing..very friendly and accommodating! We have never had a bad meal here and will continue to dine in at your amazing establishment!! We are beyond grateful for your amazing food and service..Thank you so much again..we will definitely be in again soon!! Beyond friendly and more than welcoming!!! I know as a restaurant manager myself for over 20 years, its a blessing to hear positive feedback! Just wanted to leave a review and pass the positive feedback!! Thank you again!!

Excellent appetizers: artichokes and stuffed peppers are a must! Bruschetta was also delicious. 10 of us went out for a holiday dinner. Almost everyone ordered something different. EVERYONE enjoyed their meal. I had the grouper piccata, which was phenomenal. Other standout was short rib pappardelle. I was too full for dessert, however the peanut butter pie looked delicious. I will definitely return and bring my husband. I made reservations for our large party with Dominic. He took great care of us. Amici was PACKED on a Wednesday night!

Came in for my mother’s birthday with a party of 7, we were brought to our table immediately. The entire staff was friendly but particularly our server Brooke was amazing to us. Drinks were good, food was incredible. The eggplant parm was amazing and perfectly authentic. We will 100% be back again. Just want to say a special thanks to Brooke again, she made our experience really special and treated us like family. I cannot recommend this place enough. 10/10.

Im not here to review the restaurant as I have been there on many occasions and have thoroughly enjoyed all areas of service and food. The thing I would like to point out is the parking situation. Majority of the time when I am turning down Tremont from Elmwood, headed towards Wilbur, the street is always clogged up with patrons to this place. Good for the business, not for the people driving. A good amount of time there are cars parked beyond the allotted space, blocking the sidewalk, and plenty of times far enough back making that right turn atrocious. On the left side, there is a silver/grey truck, and other vehicles, that park halfway on the sidewalk and street. Is it not against the law to park on the sidewalk blocking access for walkers? Nothing will be done, but speaking with fellow neighbors that live in the street, traveling down this street during dinner hours can be a pain.

Best restaurant meal in a long time!! I had the French Onion Soup as an appetizer followed by the Sicilian Clams for the entree. Our server, Dominic, asked if I'd like to add a pasta to the clams, and I chose angel hair. Finally! A restaurant in Buffalo that makes GREAT French Onion Soup!! The clams were wonderful in a spicy Pomodoro sauce...everything was excellent!! Dominic was charming and professional. I look forward to going back. Thank you, Amici's!!

Our 5 person party arrived 5 minutes before our reservation but unfortunately had to wait 25 minutes for a table . When we were seated the owner apologized for the wait and gave us our first round of drinks on the house which was very nice !! The food was excellent, the service was excellent and the owner was cordial !!! We will return !!!

Best Italian food i have every had!!! Fantastic appetizers, we had 4 different appetizers then had lobster ravioli and Grouper with pasta. We are from Oklahoma and we would drive back just to eat at Amici Ristorante again.

We had a large family gathering there this past week. The food was exquisite and the service was top notch. It was an all-around wonderful experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Consider making a reservation, even on a Wednesday evening. We went as a family of six, everyone ordered a different dish. The choices were teriffic and generous. proportions, steaming hot bread with a side of garlic butter. We were given 5 mini loaves of the crusty bread prior to receiving our orders. Overall every dish was superb.

3 ladies out for dinner; we had spaghetti parm with a meatball, chicken franchise, chicken Milanese, stuffed hot peppers, and peanut butter pie for dessert. Everything was delicious! Once again I forgot to take pics, but we would most certainly eat here again! Highly recommend! Make reservations it’s almost always busy!

Great food and nice atmosphere. The food and service was great and the menu had enough choices without being overwhelming. I had the Cesar salad and it was a generous size. It had the right amount of dressing and anchovy's as an option (highly recommend!) The chicken Marsala was perfect, moist but cooked through. The risotto was very tasty and cooked to perfection with plenty of mushrooms. The size of the meals was just right, I will definitionally eat hear again.

Amici's - a 'tried and true' optimal dining choice! Without giving my age ... we have had the pleasure of having MANY WONDERFUL memories while dining at Amici's. Locals, out of towners, and everybody in between ... make sure you reserve a spot at Amici's whenever you can! Baked pasta parm to nightly specials - tasty, aromatic, congenial, and overall good time!

Food was amazing, service was on point, decor of the restaurant was fairly standard and exceptionally clean. Very nice enclosed patio. Full range of patrons from yoga shorts to suits.

Great menu, with specials as well. Just right atmosphere, not loud , just lovely

Food and service were excellent. Very disappointed in reservation process. Website gave availability of 4:15 pm and after 8:00 pm only. We got there at 4:20 and place was empty until 5:30. Half full at 6:00. Don’t use reservations. Walk ins were seated whenever they came in. Maybe call for reservations. Not sure why this happened but very disappointed.

As semi regular customers, we love everything about Amici’s except the bar service. One person cannot handle the service of the entire restaurant. We waited over 5 minutes for our drink order, and refills that were ordered when the meal was served came after we were finished eating. We would have cancelled them if we could. We understand space restraints but one more bartender would increase revenue and tips !

Great food. Nice place but not formal, which is good for me. A little pricy. Attentive service but seemed to be rushing a bit and it wasn’t that busy. Would recommend to anyone who loves Italian

Very good food, will return soon. Very good cocktails and all priced reasonably. Ceasars salad was ok, my only criticism. Good service even though bar was very busy.

2.5/5. Was kind of a let down considering the great reviews surrounding this place. Had reservations at 7pm and got there 10 min early. We were taken to a table in the back— and upon the immediate realization that the place smelt like dishwater—we asked for a seat outside. The hostess rambled about 2 tables being open but saved for people who had reservations. Did we not also have a reservation? So, in dishwater we sat. We ordered the lasagna and the linguine alla vongole (linguine with clams). Waitress told us in advance the lasagna would take a while, which we appreciated. The food really didn’t take that long to come out—maybe 20-25 min. The lasagna was good but I will say that I was really disappointed with the lack of fresh clams in the the linguine. Also want to add that our waters were never filled up even once the whole time we were there. Staff didn’t seem very friendly either—very judgey…of people they don’t even know. My boyfriend’s review: “Lasagna was good. Overall experience-super mid. Relatively cheap $60 in total.”

Went out for dinner 9/20/25 with another couple. Atmosphere was nice. Outdoor patio was also very nice and was heated. Service was a bit slow and forgetful at times. Waited for our drinks that came after our appetizers came. Wine came when we were done with dinner. I had the tripe. It was bland and overcooked. Wife had lemons halibut. Well you definitely taste the lemon anyway. My advice is to order simple Italian food and maybe they can cook that. Otherwise go to San Marco on Kensington. Much better authentic Italian at similar price point

Normally we have great food and service, this was not the case Saturday night. Called for a pickup order with over an hour i would before would be there; Food wasn't ready and didn't realized I didn't get my French onion soups untill I was home. Couldn't get through on the phone so had to drive back and and wait to got our Soups.. when looking at the veal parmaiga one looked fine other looks burned neglected.. not there best night for a roughly $150 order I expected better. Will be thinking again before our next order here if we do one.

I am very disappointed with the portion and price of the food I ordered. I have ordered from The Touch of Italy and Otto’s and the portions were the size of the tin of Eggplant Parmigiana in this picture.Each order from those 2 restaurants came with a side of pasta, salad and bread, these dishes came with none of that. The Tripe had no taste, the Alfredo and Shrimp Diablo were half the size of the portions from the other restaurants. The portions were small but the bill was big, $120.71. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone nor will I eat there again. People I spoke to said the food was very good, so I figured I’d give them a try.

I made a reservation for 730 last night and my husband and I sat at the table for 30 minutes before we decided to leave because no one came to even take our drink order.

Wife wanted Lasagna. She talked about it all day and finally I agreed. When we picked up our order they had mine but nothing for my wife. Thanks for the awkward drive home with my wife smelling this amazing Lasagna she can't have. Did you even attempt to make it right? Edit: They never attempted to make it right. I would have been fine with an apology but no contact was made. Will never spend another dime with this establishment again.
