The seafood medley pasta was absolutely delicious! It was light yet bursting with flavor, made with fresh ingredients that tasted incredibly authentic. While the portions could be larger for the price, even the garlic bread was among the best I've ever had with pasta. This place is definitely worth a visit! View all feedback.

What Bianca Hutchings dislikes about Amici:
Love the food, always have. The service is terrible. The way the staff speaks to patrons is absolutely despicable. I called and simply asked if I would need a reservation and the response was, while laughing not happening tonight as if I was an idiot for asking.. this has happened multiple times.

Tried out this "hidden gem" as shared by a previous post, with my husband. The thin crust pizza is the best, even better than "back home"! The pasta dishes were absolutely delicious and thoroughly enjoyed! We had no issues with the service which was friendly...More

Pizza is hands down the best! The pasta is authentic and incredible! Informal dining, feels like you're one of the family!

This is a serious place for artisanal pizza but you'd never know it. First of all it's in an out of the way strip mall, secondly its humble exterior and simple interior are a bit deceiving. It has an open hearth brick oven, authentic crust and fresh ingredients. The pizzas are masterpieces. Well worth checking out

Best pizza you will find anywhere, i've had pizza in Venice, Chicago, New York, Sault Ste. Marie , but can't touch the taste and quality of Amici's Pizza, Excellent service, great atmosphere. My top 5 restaurants in Cambridge Ontario. P.S The grilled caesar salad is the best you will find anywhere.

This place is a hidden gem. Food was excellent. We shared Pizza and Pasta, both we incredibly delicious. The ladies on staff were friendly and efficient. We were made to feel welcome and well taken care of. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys homemade food made with quality and care.

Amici is a cozy restaurant with a sports bar vibe, best suited for small groups. The wood-fired stone oven produces excellent pizza, making it one of the top Italian spots in Cambridge, Ontario. While accommodating large groups may be a challenge, the friendly staff and delicious dishes make for a pleasant dining experience. The grilled Caesar salad is a standout option. The homemade pasta and thin-crust pizza are highly recommended, as well as the seafood platter. The Tiramisu is a must-try dessert. Despite some small portion sizes, overall, Amici offers some of the best Italian food around.

Had the spaghetti and meatballs with bruschetta flat bread , oddest thing ever from an Italian restaurant , I was expecting true bruschetta but sadly this flat bread was soggy and not good , as for the spaghetti and meatballs it was worse , dry no sauce and tasted old and the meatballs tasted like they were the cook from frozen kind .. this was not what we expecting after reading reviews of this place .. sadly we will not be returning ..

Decided to give Amica a try for a birthday celebration based upon the reviews posted here. Upon arrival was somewhat skeptical that we would have a nice evening as the parking lot and entrance was quite grubby with garbage about and a number of unsavory characters hanging about in front of the restaurant smoking. Was greeted by a friendly hostess and was promptly seated and we ordered drinks. We ordered calamari alla griglia and a garlic flatbread for a starter and for our mains, I had seafood linguini and my wife had the fettuccini Leslie. The flat bread was dismal with the bread being more like a tortilla than a flatbread, and the mozzarella topping was scant and not melted as one might expect. The calamari alla griglia was also sub par with the calamari being finely sliced with no evidence of being grilled what so ever. I was expecting a small whole squid with its body and tentacles grilled with charring and presented on a bed of lettuce. The mains were quite a bit better with fresh pasta and flavorful sauces. However, the seafood linguini was served without clams as they were out. I was informed that the chef would add additional mussels to make up for the lack of clams, but I didn't see any evidence of this. We ended our meal with tiramisu and espresso. The tiramisu appeared to be home made but was fairly bland with little espresso flavoring. All in all, we had a fairly enjoyable dining experience but the atmosphere wasn't the best.

I literally just got in, from having a wonderful dinner at this place. As soon as we got in, the place was almost full, so it was Very Busy.. I sat at the bar and the lady recognized, that we needed seating and seated us in a private area immediately, which was great! They were very busy and all over the place but very straight forward and simple good customer service. She seemed easy going and cool, while attending other tables and bar area as well. The restaurant is not the prettiest but the food definitely is and by that I mean this is probably one of the best Italian restaurants, that I have been to.. the food is Delicious! Here is what I ordered: Grilled Calamari it came like a bed.. on top of spinach, so it was delicious and had a nice vinaigrette sauce in it. I would definitely order this again, it's delicious and cooked Perfectly. Very fresh. Spicy Spaghetti and Meatballs It was delicious and I would gladly order this again.. although it could of came with more meatballs.. Yum. Tarimasu (House Made) It was Delicious and I would get this again as well. Cappuccino Very good and I would order it again. Glass of red wine.. I cannot remember the name of the red but it was the top one and it was dry and paired well with my meal. My friend had the Gnocchi and I tried it and it was So Good.. Next time, I might order that? Yes there will be a next time This place has very tasty food, you won't regret coming here. I highly recommend this restaurant

This is without a doubt the best pizza in town! The bartender and servers are fantastic too. The owner and staff are excellent, and the place is always clean. I highly recommend the Diablo Pizza! Thanks, John!

Visited this restaurant after a good friend recommended it to me. I was blown away by how fresh the food was. It is a shame the restaurant is tucked away in a quiet plaza, the food is stunning!! Myself and some friends shared the Pizza Alla Diavolo oven cooked and delicious. For my main I got the lasagna and OH MY! It was topped with a creamy béchamel sauce. Honestly, it was such good Italian food. I hope my review brings more people! I will definitely be visiting again

Took a group here for dinner and it was amazing. We ordered two pizzas and it was so good that we ordered a third pizza. We all enjoyed this place so much. Would for sure come back.

Average food for an above average price. Charged $4 for 4 slices of day old bread and the reason for the charge was post covid we charge everyone however they failed to mention that when we ask for bread. First and last visit. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: CA$30–40

I can't believe I forgot to take pictures because the food here was simply amazing! If you love freshly made pasta and sauces, you have to come here. Everything we tried was divine. Be sure to call ahead and make a reservation; it's often packed because it's so popular and delicious. Service: Dine-in.

We absolutely love the stone oven pizza. The thin and crispy crust is to die for. Highly recommend this place! Our server also was top notch!

I LOVE the food so it really disappoints me to say I 'll never attempt to eat here again. I really wish the staff would try harder to be a little nicer to paying customers. Simply sayinf sorry we have nothing available would have been a mich nicer response then laughing at me and making me feel stupid. The rudeness will destroy this business, and that 's sad.

My favorite Italian restaurant in Cambridge and close to my another favorite Ilfernelo.Amici serves authentic stone oven baked thin crust pizzas which are delicious.Loved their gnocchi and creamy pastas, Looking forward to try other dishes too.Unfortunately, restaurant opens only in evenings for dine-in which s worth every penny.
