Amici's Italian Bistro

From the beautiful music (Italian texts on many) to the couples of NY and NJ on the next table about (I love the accents) ... you know that you get the best of Italian food in Charleston. The wine was delicious, bread was fresh and hot with EVOO and balsamikum on every table, and the waiting staff was so attentive (no wish goes unfinished). This is about pasta, fresh and homemade (or as close as a restaurant) soup and ambience. Send a toast and prayer for safe travel for me while you are!

I wasn't able to visit a while, but it's still perfect! The food was absolutely incredible, atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. The waiters are helpful and attentive to ensure that everything is your wishes! If you are looking for an authentic local Italian restaurant, this is a must to visit!

Beautiful atmosphere, our host Mario was so full of life and nice. We met the owner Jennifer who was so friendly and real. We had a good dinner, a little bit small. Very recommend a Limoncello after dinner, simply amazing!!!

It has been looking for decent Italian food for 12 years, found in every mall in the northeast. When I went to Amici, I felt like I was home yesterday. Not far from Billy Joel's Italian restaurant in Amici's front door was a verse of the song. Red Checkered tablecloths a bottle of olive oil on the table, friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere set the stage for a pleasant culinary experience. The menu is limited but meets all high points. Meal, chicken, shrimp/Clams. red sauce and brown sauce to satisfy every palate. The prices are reasonable and given that the participants with soup or salad amici offer great value. I've long stopped complaining about restaurants that don't make a side salad as part of the meal. Now a salad has become a $11 appetizer! Amici's should be congratulated to not give up the trend of less and more. My other pet with restaurants is their wine prices. All these north-eastern family-run places usually had an affordable house wine, did I dare date myself and say half-carafe wine? Again Kudos to Amici to chew the trend. There's a reason why you're open at 4:00 and 4:30 parking is hard to find. We were the first in the door at 4pm, in fact we waited in the parking for half an hour. We found this place through online reviews, and it was worth waiting. Gina waited for us and Mario came to the table and chat. Talk to Mario for three seconds I knew we had a connection and safe enough, we both came from Long Island NY. I had the Kalbsal, Amici. The calves were not fried for all-you healthy nuts served with a brown sauce over what tasted like homemade pasta. The dish was delicious and the mushroom was fresh, not skillful. My wife had shrimps with spaghetti and spinach, again the pasta tasted fresh and was a beautiful part. Great food, reasonable prices, friendly efficient service means it will be hard to get a table. I hope they join other Charleston restaurants and make the move to Summerville! Amici's is not this bucket place list type of place where it is one and done, nope it is a place where you finally have your regular table for a weekly culinary experience. Mario, I will save the corner table again!!

Definately come bacl, i was not too hundry but i finish everything. Because it was delishious. Mussels wirh linquini was wonderfull. As far a tiramisu it was good, but for me too much almond flovor amd no coffee flavor. I prefer with little coffee taste.
