First visited in May last year and returned at the end of April this year to find Amici just as good, if not better, than previously. From the moment we walked in the service was great - we could choose which table we wanted except the ones that had reserved on them. While the outside seating looked good we chose... More

Love Italian food? You can't go wrong in this town centre restaurant. Excellent choice of delicious food, reasonably priced lunches and evening meals, served by friendly efficient staff. This restaurant has lovely outside area in a small narrow pedestrian street.

Something that the city lacked till recently. They have recently taken on a more pizza-&-pasta focus, but do both well. Friendly service and excellent gelato too.

We visited Amici recently and had enjoyable meals that were pleasant, if not outstanding: pleasant pasta and a good calzone. The location is great - a large open area outdoors as well as plenty of tables inside. We were disappointed by the service however: it doesn't cost anything to smile and our (young)waitress was pretty frosty. It's worth noting that... More

This restaurant is tucked away at the end of Quality Street (a pedestrian alleyway from Cameron Street). The staff were very friendly and the service was fast and efficient. The food was excellent quality, and we were able to sit outside in Quality Street. The outside area has a very Mediterranean feel to it, and there was a guitarist who... More

Go along to Amicis if you want to deal with an ignorant owner and her staff, you'll get terrible service and spoken to in a highly unprofessional manner. And be told you know nothing about wine - clearly if the whole party on the table think the wine is OFF - then it IS! I will not be back again.

Hidden at the back of a lane this Italian Restaurant exceeded my expectations by way of food and service. Four of us dined and all enjoyed our meals very much. We sat in the courtyard on a warm evening and were serenaded by a guitarist which made for a wonderful atmosphere. I will be sure to again next time I... More

A wonderful place in the CBD to pop in to do lunch with friends. The set lunches are great value. The outside seating on the patio is lovely.

Great resteraunt with lovely Italian based food options. Gorgeous pizza's and the gnocchi de casa is simply devine. It has a lovely setting, whether inside or outside on the brick patio area. It is situated in a little brick paved street called quality street, which also houses an japanesse resteraunt, turkish and an old english pub, so has a lovely... More

The food is fantastic and the service excellent. Italian food in the evening but well worth it for breakfast ( try the Brunch for two!)
