Reviews of Amici Italian cafe and restaurant

P. v. d. B.

A great Italian experience. Original pastas, pizzas and other Italian influenced dishes. Simple with great flavour. The atmosphere is always as if you're in Italy. The staff are friendly and know their menu. The outside dining experience is fantastic.

C. W.

Very friendly, helpful,waitress. Delicious lunch, even made us cocktails that were not on the menu! Highly recommended! Well done team :)

E. K.

I fully recommend this restaurant for great service with hardworking and polite staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and drink. Memorable experience.

M. M.

Lovely meals. Great flavour. Slightly too small servings for a guy. Sticky date pudding was nice flavoured but they were very economical with the butterscotch sauce. Nice and not too crowded or noisy. Able to have a conversation without having to raise voice.

A. K.

We went 7 people for lunch and we all had different things and they were all really good. I also had the limonciello/ mango sorbet...so yum!!

R. G.

Friendly staff and owner. Best pizza in Whangarei. Lovely latte made by the young waitress. Will be back definitely!

L. L.

Had a Birthday lunch today , meals were fantastic, service was great , never had a bad meal here , thank you for hosting us

A. H.

This was an absolutely amazing experience here. The staff were very friendly and the food..oh my goodness was just Devine. We ordered the meat lovers pizza and it was just perfect. A++++

S. W.

Very Great Place, sometimes service can be slow but the margarita pizza is excellent.

P. P.

The most scumptious gnocchi and very tasty med salad, also excellent garlic bread and cheese board. Highly recommend

R. G.

Loved our little Italy experience, fabulous food and service, all for very a reasonable price. A cute little setting, super child friendly, no shortage of toys, books. Wish it was closer to home as we would love to dine again!

D. V.

Absolutely loved it here. I have been to Amici twice now, once for lunch and once for dinner and both times the staff were really friendly and the food was great. The setting of this restaurant is amazing because you really feel like you are in Italy.

G. V. T.

Great ambience, great food, & great service. The waitress knew her stuff, & was really helpful. Two at our table had the chicken & mushroom fettuccini. Both raved about how good it was. Another had a small meatlovers pizza. It proved to be delicious also - exactly the size indicated by the tray on the wall. I had the Smoked Chicken & Mushroom Risotto. Fantastic! The portion sizes were such that our mouths wanted more, but our stomachs were full, & could barely fit in another bite. Well done folks!

C. E.

Sitting outside felt like I was back in Europe. Ordered breakfast and it was great. Perfectly cooked bacon!

Nice food, good service - great for family gatherings

Great little place. Good food. Quick service. Reasonable prices. The calamari starter was fabulous. They had jazz on when we went which was great. Good for a group.

Lovely food. 5 star service. Highly recommended.

Lovely little restaurant! We stopped here for breakfast after heading out of town and it was great! Nice coffee and good food. Definitely try this place for dinner as they have a live band playing.

S. T.

Nice looking place, but would only go if you can sit outside. Inside was very draughty, air con blowing etc. The restaurant was full and acoustics made it just about impossible to hear anything anyone said. Food was good, the gnocchi was half the size of everything else and therefore not large enough, unless your on a diet.

J. P.

Excellent food, great service, drinks are well proportioned, loved it. After traveling across the USA on roadtrips you listen to inn keepers referrals This referral was correct, good price great food. Strongly recommend visiting but beware Google has the location one street off, it's on Washington st.

S. B.

We visited Amici for a family birthday. The gnocchi was a stand out and lovely to see it was homemade. The cheesecake was also another great surprise. The chefs special pork belly was enormous.

a. s.

Great little place. Good food. Quick service. Reasonable prices. The calamari starter was fabulous. They had jazz on when we went which was great. Good for a group.

S. S.

I had the parmesan risotto with broccoli. It tasted OK but the broccoli was just thrown on top. The staff are super friendly and the rest of my party were very happy with their meals.

J.

New year's day, seemed understaffed even with the restaurant only half full, longer than usual wait, overcooked steak, poor cutlery, rest of food decent but lukewarm at best, seemed like a lackluster effort. Nice atmosphere and location though, choice of outdoor and indoor italian themed setting.

E. w.

Great environment, fast service. We ordered pasta and a salad. Food was good service was great.

j. s.

Staff were very friendly however service was poor and food was average.Would be great to have some Italian music.Also olive oil and balsamic vinegar with complimentary bread on every table in Italy, could be an authentic addition. Amici had a nice selection of Italian and NZ wines.Beautiful fire for winter.🙂

S. H.

The pasta choice was a little limited. One of the staff was smoking just around the corner from our table which was unfortunate. Food was generally good although front of house staff could be more accommodating, we asked for a green salad as a side and was told that this was not possible?

M. H.

After stumbling across Amici while running errands we came back around 3.30pm on a public holiday for another BLT. With two hungry boys we ordered a large pizza, calamari, mussels and a BLT. All went down quickly. Calamari was beautifully cooked, the polenta crumb is different - drier to normal batter/crumb. The tomato sauce in the mussels is amazing. A little spicy too. Yum! BLT was a winner again. We’ll be back next time we are in Whangarei.

P. A.

Food portions vary in size. Service is ok although lacking in polish. My lasagne was burnt unfortunately. Overall quite good ambience though and staff really nice.

s. m.

Delightful sustenance, dazzling staff, family-accommodating restaurant and choice to take away leftovers! My children completely adored this spot, and we were pleased to discover it as it lit up a blustery evening in Whangarei with fire place inside.

S. B.

Nice environment. Very well cooked Calamari on a delicious salad. Worth trying!

D. H.

Great service, great food, great atmosphere. Highly recommend eating here. Went with my Dad and my 3 children and had a really lovely dinner.

C. B.

Nice food, good service - great for family gatherings

T. M.

Whangarei's own little Italy. Lovely Italian feel setting right in the heart of Whg cbd. Indoor/outdoor flow you will find on the quaint cobblestone of Quality St a fireplace to keep cozy during winter dining and a picturesque balcony equipped with water fountain during summer. Food - Most dining visits here the have been great, however there's been a couple disappointing dine ins where the pizza looked and texture resembled that of lastnights dinner thrown in microwave on high for too long! Pasta however, has always been outstanding.

K. A.

Good service. Nice ambience with some outside seating in a very pleasant part of town We had the platter for 3 people which had a variety of options and it was ample for 3 people Quite a,good wine list too

M.

Ate here with my girlfriend one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten in my life! Everything on the pizza is fresh and the dough is thin but still fluffy. Perfect!

C. P.

I've been here a few times now, and each time I've thoroughly enjoyed the food! Everything I've had is delicious and the staff is always friendly.

H. L.

Had a wonderful meal here, garlic bead to die for. A must stop when in town. Very fast turn over of food even when we had a very large group.

m.

We have been here first time couple weeks ago to say goodbye to a friend. The service, food and whole dining experience was divine. Will definitely come back for more

T. S.

Not a bad place at all. The mains were overpriced for what you got but the pasta and pizza dishes were better value. Nice atmosphere.

N. S.

This was my second visit , not to many restaurants get our visit on the trot but this one did. Good service as was the food , I left not dissapointed. I'm surprised it's not more popular.

S. H.

D. L.

A. W.

Dependable good, atmosphere is tranquil enough for an early Saturday weekend dinner for 2. Food will fill you up, all around good effort

B. H.

Service was good. But as i have a few authentic Italian friends who are chefs i have to say this food is far from 'authentic' Italian.

Walked into to this place by chance and we liked everything about it. The staffs were friendly, our food was delivered on time, the food taste scrumptious, worth the spending (just a little pricey but it's worth it). Nice decor done to the place and good vibes from other patrons, good atmosphere overall. Nice place to go to during winter season.
