Cafe Amici

I have eaten in this cafe and also had take always. All occasions have been excellent the quality of food is outstanding both eating in and taking away. The service and staff are brilliant the owners should be very proud of their team. If I pull up for a take away they come out and serve me cause I am a wheelchair user, that to me is outstanding and appreciated.

I've been frequenting this eatery in its various incarnations for quite a few years but the current identity is by far my favourite yet. The primarily Mediterranean (and very authentic cuisine is fantastic the regular menu (breakfasts, hot cold sandwiches, pastas, pizza, omlettes, salad bowls, meat/cheese platters is supplemented with an array of tempting specials which often include fresh fish and seafood. Every single dish I've tried has been nothing short of delicious the salad bowls are my particular favourite, generous portions, super fresh and the garlic bread is wonderful. The coffee is also excellent and the enticing selection of cakes taste as good as they look (the chocolate orange one is divine! . Prices are entirely reasonable whether you're having a quick coffee or a proper meal.

It was very quiet on my Saturday afternoon visit but it was really pleasant inside, a little on the small side but this could pass off as been exclusive. My only vice is the coffee wasn’t the hottest. On the counter there were the hugest domes of bread that really did look impressive, homemade and rustic. Being a huge lover of bread I was massively enticed to take one home to devour later, I resisted. The menu is classic, appetizers, bruschetta and pastas there was something modern but authentic about the dishes as well as an impressive specials board. I originally wanted a small snack but was drawn in by the bruschetta- chicken, salami and chili with a tomato sauce served with a side salad. To my delight the bruschetta was the bread on the counter, lightly toasted and thick cut. The full dish was stunning appearance and taste. I can’t wait to go back for pasta or a salad knowing it will be the freshest quality ingredients. Amici also has a license; a glass of wine would be a prefect accompaniment.

As another reviewer has put...Oh Dear!! This place used to be fantastic, looks look they've changed owners, previously run by an Italian chef, now an English Breakfast bloke has taking over. The menu is the same, the cooking skills are not.

Having previously sung the praises of Amici I feel compelled to comment on the recent notable decline in food quality and atmosphere. I've visited three times since it started to falter and each visit has been equally disappointing.
