    The food was delicious and nicely presented. I’d recommend splitting a starter and perhaps a main , as the portions are quite large. The beet salad was wonderful, as were the branzino over fried cauliflower and the scallop risotto with bay shrimp. We also enjoyed our desserts (bread pudding and the chocolate cake with peanut butter ice cream.

    Had a lovely World Cup week lunch here. They were busy, but everything was excellent and service was top notch. Between our two top we stuck to staples- deviled eggs, shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, and a caramel apple tarte, which were all spectacular. Highly recommended!

    Amici’s in Cherry Hill was absolutely wonderful. The ambience and overall dining experience were fantastic from start to finish. Our table ordered a variety of dishes, including the salmon, chicken Parmesan, and steak, and every single meal was outstanding. The steak in particular was breathtakingly good. Our waiter was incredible, the service was impeccable, and the entire afternoon made for such a special Father’s Day. It was the perfect place to spend the day with family, enjoy great food, and feel truly taken care of. We will definitely be going back again!
