Amici Ristorante is a longtime local favorite that’s now even better after its recent renovation. The updated interior feels fresh and inviting while still keeping the warm, cozy charm that regulars love.
The food continues to shine with classic Italian favorites. Amici’s delivers comfort, flavor, consistency and great service!
If you haven’t been in lately, now’s the perfect time to come on in, enjoy the new look, and savor some great Italian food right in the heart of Kenmore.

Our meal was awesome. We had the patio to ourselves granted it was a cold night, but they have patio heaters, and it it’s covered so it was very comfortable.
Appetizers were great, wine was very good suggested by waitress.meal was wonderful. Unfortunately I had no room for dessert. I will make room Next time

Absolutely wonderful experience at Amici. Our server, Russel, was on point! Friendly, knowledgeable and gave my wife a wonderful recommendation for dinner – the Short Rib Ragu – which she loved.
I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo and requested to add blackened chicken if they could – and Russel quickly replied that they could. I also added the baked mozzarella to the dish. Now, this is not on the menu this way, but it was one of the best pastas I’ve ever eaten – you should probably order it this way, too. We shared our dishes as they were both great, but we agreed that the alfredo with baked mozzarella and blackened chicken was the clear winner. Man, it was soooo damn good. Compliments to the chef.
Capped dinner off with a couple of cappuccinos and the peanut butter mousse cake. Perfect dinner, amazing service. We were visiting from Chicago and we have endless restaurants there, this was definitely a top tier meal and service. We loves the restaurant’s style and ambience, too.
Well done, Amici.
Oh, I almost forgot. As a long time service industry vet, I was genuinely impressed at the way everyone was helping each other out on the floor. Never had an empty glass or dirty dishes sitting in the table.

The veal Milanese was perfect. (See photo) The veal had a crispy outside and a tender juicy inside. It was cooked perfectly. The arugula, balsamic topping was the perfect match. This was beyond five stars. We sat on the outdoor patio. Even though it’s late November, it was very comfortable out there with the heaters they have. I ordered a Tanqueray martini and the bartender hit a home run with the way he made it. Our server was very kind and attentive, as was the rest of the staff. We went on a Wednesday night, thinking it would not be that busy. Never assume anything. It was busy, which tells me the food must be really good. The only drawback, which I hate to dwell on, is parking. Fortunately, the neighboring businesses allow restaurant patrons to park in their lot when their business is not open. Highly recommend AMICI RISTORANTE.

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.

Let me start by saying that the food offerings at Amici’s are first rate. We were welcomed immediately and seated without a reservation btw. Cocktails were excellent followed by our appetizers which were perfectly cooked and presented. I opted for the Veal Parm…which I must commend the chef as this dish was prepared and cooked flawlessly. You did not need a knife to cut the veal as it was very tender. The sauce was excellent as well. My wife and I had been to a few so called “high” end very exspensive Italian restaurants , which I will not name, and had been extremely disappointed as the veal was overcooked and difficult to eat… dry veal is no fun !! You will not be disappointed at Amici’s !! Thank you for a memorable meal ! We certainly will return ..Molte Grazie !!

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!
