Food and service excellent as always, unfortunately I don't know why I bothered making a Open table reservation. My party showed up early for out reservation and then waited almost an hour for a table. I had a table for 5 reserved and we waited and waited, while a 6 top sat unused for 25 min!! No manager in sight to offer an explanation or apologies, just the poor hostess to take everyone's grief!! I'll go back again, but my expectations have been lowered... Too bad!!

This was our first time at Amici's. We were looking for a mid-range Italian restaurant in the Northtowns area, something to fill the gap between Romeo & Juliet's and Lombardo's or Sinatra's. Amici did a very nice job delivering good food and service. We split the calamari as an appetizer and it was lightly breaded and tasty. I ordered the pasta fagiole. Their version was good, not quite grandma's, but whose is? We both got side salads and they were fresh. The balsamic dressing was also good, as was the offered crumbled bleu cheese. My husband ordered the braciole. He pronounced it a solid 4 out 5. I ordered chicken saltimbocca. It came with two large pieces of chicken. I liked it. I'm not a huge fan of red sauce (I know, I am a bad Italian), so I am glad that the menu has plenty of sauce choices. We found the wine list to be very reasonable.

Food was a bit better than average. Waitress was very nice and staff was attentive however we ordered an appetizer and they forgot to put it in so I believe our entrees sat while they fired our appetizer and by the time we finished the appetizer, our dinners were a bit overdone. Again everyone was pleasant but an "I'm sorry" on the appetizer error would have gone a long way towards improving our experience as well as giving us the opportunity to cancel it and go straight to our dinners that were apparently ready. Very nice wait staff.

Open Table confirmed our reservation but when we arrived at the restaurant they said they no longer use Open Table. Fortunately they had room for us but it could have been a problem. Open Table needs to get their act together. I don't trust making reservations through them now. The waiter could not have been better but the food was bland and mostly pasta with just a sprinkling of the main protein. The food and the ambiance reminded me of eating at my mom's assisted living facility.
