Amici - PIETRASANTA

Nice local sea food restaurant. Place in the back street away from the busy areas. The food is very fresh. Wine selection is fine and not too pricy. 35-50 euro per person.

Hostess was inflexible and sat us in a table we did not like despite the restaurant having other available tables. She claimed the other tables were reserved. I guess they do not consider a reservation made through the fork to be a proper “reservation.” Food was mediocre. Menu was quite limited. They make fish in the oven by weight but they offer it only in one way dry in the oven without any sauce no other way. Service was poor, slow and unfriendly. We had to wait forever to get someone’s attention to order the bill. When I gave up and went to the register t pay I had to wait a long time there as well. Just a bad restaurant to be AVOIDED!!!

Great restaurant, I'll come back when I'm around

The restaurant seemed nice enough when we got there. They offered a sip of prosecco while we made our choice from an online menu. The primi we had chosen to share was good, but not in any way special but they had forgotten that we wanted to share and needed to be reminded of that. Our main courses were terrible 1 beef fillet: very small portion, mediocre quality, badly cooked, highly overpriced with 25 €. 2 catch of the day: tiny portion, so badly cooked that you could not judge the quality; it came with sea asparagus that was like straw and could only serve as decoration. The beverages (wine, water, coffee) were ok in price. Our bill added up to 90 €, and half of this sum would have been too much. A big, big disappointment.

Good food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. The starters are tasty and creative (the portions are smaller than they usually tend to be around here though . I really enjoyed the Porchetta di Gamberi (shrimp “porchetta” . The pasta allo scoglio (seafood pasta was good but not mind-blowing, while the branzino was delicious (though a little on the expensive side . Overall, I think this restaurant is a good addition to the area and will certainly come here again. I would recommend coming here if you’re looking to eat some good seafood in a pleasant setting.
