my wife is currently in hospital and as a treat, thought i'd get a decent takeout, rather than the usual rubbish. what a mistake that turned out to be. i asked for a salmon pasta along with a meal for my wife. they told me salmon pasta wasn't on the menu but they'd make it for me anyway - great! having left my wife in hospital, i collected the food (nearly £30 for 2 pastas & garlic bread - had read good reviews so didn't mind paying for good food) having got back to my wife's side, i discovered that my pasta had prawns in it. i don't eat seafood, so called to complain. the way i was treated i still can't believe now. they were so rude and obtuse, i almost had to hang up on them i was so shocked. they said 'we thought we were doing you a favour?' not much of a favour to someone who doesn't eat seafood, and why not ask if i wanted prawns when i was on the phone? it looks like a lot of their pasta dishes have prawns in and they were too lazy to make a fresh sauce. i still cannot believe how outright rude the were to me. they eventually agreed to refund me the 14.95 for the pasta i can't eat and suggested i don't go there again which i certainly won't. ironic thing is that their name means friends/friendly (i think). ps the garlic bread was very nice :-)

Probably one of the best restaurants I have ever visited.

We were really looking forward to eating at Amici after reading the good reviews. However, it was one of the worst restaurants I have eaten at in a long time. Service was average at best and staff were disinterested and vague. Our starters arrived very quickly - not a good thing as they had obviously been sitting there, cooked, for a looooong time (not a good thing for one of the specials!) Main course was better but I found a piece of bacon in my 'seafood' pasta - an obvious mistake, but when I mentioned it to the waiter he did not seem at all interested - good thing I'm not allergic to bacon!

Well, what can i say! we were invited to a friends birthday at Amici's, it is the best night out i have had in years...unfortunately we live in Birmingham, please open one in the midlands!
Ps -it was the freshest salad i have ever eaten in a restaurant- food is just as good as the atmosphere.

Great menu - excellent range of dishes, great food, great service and good ambience - we'll definately be back!

Just a follow up from my last review. We went on New Years Eve and had the best time ever. The 9 friends I took who hadn't been before are itching to go back again as soon as possible. This is the best restaurant I have ever been to. Try it!

Well - where can I start! If you are a bit like me - a late 80's person, you will love this place. It's right back to the good old "dine and disco" - fabulous! You really need a few of you to go here - about 10 minimum. You book your table - order your food a few days in advance - good choice of food by the way. Enter on the night and just wait for a bit party. The food is served quickly and efficiently and is of excellent quality. Staff are attentive and keep drinks topped up always. Then when everyone in the restaurant has finished eating - the disco starts! Tunes are not for the modern clubbers - more the old time clubbers from the 80's - things like Come on Eileen etc... real feel good tunes. I went with a party of 20 - and have just booked New Year's Eve there - a party of 10 and I am sure everyone will have a great time. First Class!!!
