Amici Ristorante

Too expensive for such low quality food. 13 dollars for one chicken breast of Market Day quality. I had better spaghetti sauce on beef-a-roni as a child than what this place serves. It used to be good. The owners ought to be ashamed of themselves by trying to pass this off as good italian that close to the City of Chicago. more

The atmosphere is quite nice. Summertime I would recommend the outdoor patio and in the winter cozy up in the bar area in a booth. Everything I've gotten there is perfect. The best calamari I've ever had you can totally tell it's homemade and not frozen. The bread is perfect (piping hot, crunchy on outside and soft on the inside), mama's lasagna delicious, and we drive out there from the city because my girlfriend is in love with the crab ravioli. The prices are quite reasonable and waitstaff are pleasant, knowlegeable and efficient. I really can't think of anything I'd change... an overall great dining experience. more

This is a good Italian restaurant with a lot of character. There is an outdoor patio that you can dine at in warm months that has a look and feel like you are in old world Italy. The servers are very attentive and the food is authentic. It's a very attractive (but rather small) dining area. Of course I recommend the pasta. Their red sauce is amazing. The place also has a romantic atmosphere with a fireplace and dim lighting. A tad on the pricey side however. more

This restaurant is another family favorite. The entire atmosphere of the place is very nice and very condusive to conversation and family dining. This is not the kind of place that is so loud you can't hear or so dark you can't see who you're talking to. As a family we have been going to this restaurant for years. We have sat in the main dining room and had a great time and enjoyed the food and we have sat in the bar area. Even though the bar area is the smoking section, I almost like that area better. It's cozy and there are televisions within easy view. The food is great. Back when I could eat anything, the pasta and Italian food dishes were great. When I developed some food issues, I found their filet mignon to be oustanding. At a lot of Italian restaurants, the non-Italian food sometimes is an afterthough. Not at Amici's. The prices are decent and you won't feel like you spent too much for too little. My brother and dad also agree the drinks are excellent and I have enjoyed their coffee and desserts. more

This place has loads of charm and character and I loved the food. I went here during the Holidays with a large group of people. We all tried something different and we all walked away fatter and happier! The eggplant parm, lasagna, soups, salads, you name it, it was good. And the server was attentive and pleasant. We will definitely be going back. more
