Amici Miei - Potomac

We've been here several times and the food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. Service is always great.

The carpaccio was excellent as well as the sea bass piccata.

The location on Seven Locks was better but the restaurant is managed well.

It was a very mediocre experience. What was good? They had an off menu red which was wonderful and my sea bass ? was excellent. Not so good? The bread wasn't great, the lasagna had over done, soggy noodles and too much cheese so was a mess on the plate and the cheese sampler arrived with refrigerator cold cheese when cheese almost always should be served at room temperature. Finally, we tried to use an AMEX gift card and were told gift cards don't work at restaurants. Our bill was $90 so we left our $100 gift card plus another $10 cash. When they came back to tell us they couldn't use the gift card, they brought back the card but not the cash. I paid with my usual card and it was awkward to only leave a $10 tip when $20 on a $90 tab is a generous tip when the food wasn't very good. Finally, no one asked us how the meal was at any point or I would have pointed out what was good and not so good as I hate to leave reviews that aren't excellent.

Our favorite local Italian hangout! Stellar food and service always! Ivan is our favorite waiter You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
