Amici Ristorante - RichmondDelightful dinner ...We had given them a break for a few months and decided to try back for a quick dinner before a movie. It was early, so it was quiet upstairs, but uncomfortably cold! My favorite salad, the Ruchetta, was good... but on this evening, outdone by the Salmon with the Pink Peppercorn White Balasamic Sauce. It was delicious!...and I now have a new favorite dish on their menu. My choices were better than my partner's, as his salad was adequate, a basic salad with tomato and onion, nothing special and his Pescatore entree yearned for some much needed starch, pasta perhaps. The breadsticks and focaccia with the white bean dip is always a nice touch. Our server was knowledgable and provided good service. We'll be back when it's time for Salmon again.6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMFine timeWe went with another couple and we all enjoyed our meals. Naturally the food had an Italian flare to it. The portions were more than adequate. The bread served before our dinner was rather blah. My pasta with shrimp and scallops was very good, my wife had homemade ravioli but was not heated enough, but flavorful. The side dish of spinach was excellent. Across from me was a pasta dish stained black from squid ink, unusual but my friend said it was very good.6/3/2013 12:00:00 AMDelightful DiningThe service was excellent, and the evening was perfect for Amici. They opened the front windows so we could enjoy the cool of the evening. We started with salads. I had the Spinaci and Jacqui had a goat cheese salad not listed on the online menu. For the entre, Jacqui had the Bucatini all' amatriciana and I had a homemade fettucccinni with fresh tomatoes, garlic and pancetta. Both dishes were quite exceptional. I have never been disappointed by Amici.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food is excellent andThe food is excellent and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is quiet for an intimate dinner, and the service is knowledgeable and prompt.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMHot date.If you need a nice romantic date this place is perfect! The seating is a bit close together but it's easy to get lost in your meal. I highly recommend stoping in.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic!Amici is always a go to for us when we are back home in Richmond from NYC. They made it a very special night for our entire party during my girlfriends birthday. I would recommend Amici to anyone looking for a fantastic Italian meal and a great night!5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMMy prom group went to Amici'sMy prom group went to Amici's this year, and we had an awesome time! The food was absolutely delicious! I had the Agnolotti alla panna since I am a vegetarian, and it was divine! The service was great and timely. The separate room for groups was perfect for large or small parties with it's very own bathroom. We loved our experience there and would recommend Amici Ristorante to anyone who wants Italian and to spend quality time with friends.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place , the specialsGreat place , the specials of the day were spot on and normal menu items were great too, got to sit in the front with the patio screen open so that was very cool, will try it again, the price is right for the type of food you get and the wine list was awesome though one of us cant drink for another five months or so :)5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMA neighborhood gem!This is a restaurant that I plan to visit every time I'm in Richmond! The black pasta with smoked trout and the cafe Italiano were especially notable. My son had the tagliata and enjoyed it as much as I did my pasta. Very friendly serving team and nice yet comfortable ambiance.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food and service.Excellent food and service. Just wish the wine list was not so pricey.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMFamily went to try Amici forFamily went to try Amici for Restaurant Week - everyone thought the food was wonderful and we would most definitely go back. Service wonderful, too.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat couples dinningIt's been a while since we have dined here and we found the food "outstanding". As a matter of fact we are coming back this week,4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMYou only live onceTry it for yourself. I asked the server to inquire if the chef would make me an entree and appertizer that was similar but different than what was offered on the menu. The chef did a super job at making my food even better than I expected. He came to our table to see if we were enjoying our meal. We were delighted with the food quality and the service was the best we've had in a while. Grey waited on us very attentively! We will return again next week. Try it for yourself!4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMLittle things leave a bad taste ...We stopped in for a light meal and decided upon salads & to add chicken, but sadly there was not a piece of chicken to be had in the house! So, they allowed us to substitute salmon instead which worked out nicely. My favorite salad, the Ruchetta, has been inconsistent with the amount of dressing in the past, so knowing this, I asked for a little extra dressing when I placed the order which cost me an additional $2 for about a tablespoon, which I didn't know until I had paid the bill and found that to be a bit extreme. I should have asked for it "to go" since, of course on this evening, it had adequate dressing and I did not need the extra... Sevice was delightful and we enjoyed sitting on the screened in patio area on such a lovely evening.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a wonderful dinnerWe had a wonderful dinner with friends that had never been to Amici before. All of the food and wine was delicious. It was a great night enjoying food & friends.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMNice ambiance, excellent menuNice ambiance, excellent menu and food, great presentation entrée, knowledgeable and attentive waitstaff4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food, service, andExcellent food, service, and atmosphere. 'Amici' was everything we wanted it to be!3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMEnjoyed our visit ...The Ruchetta Salad was quite nice with the apples and tarragon vinaigrette and my partner enjoyed his house salad. The evenings' special ravioli with the sausage, gorgonzola with the red pepper cream sauce sounded better than the actual execution. Not as flavorful as we had hoped. Our cocktails were adequate but nothing noteworthy or especially memorable. We'll be back though as it's local, close by and a nice change from everything else around town. Service was spot on for this visit! Thanks!2/22/2013 12:00:00 AM
