Caffe Amici

Had lunch here twice. Both times had Brittany was our server. Food was excellent. Today I also had the Limoncello cake for dessert. OMG! It was an awesome completion to my Italian lunch with a great glass of wine. And, the pre lunch house salad was fresh and crispy with the house dressing. I signed up for the VIP group and I’m sure I’ll be back again.

DO NOT LET THE MESSY PIC FOOL YOU! My food had a rough trip home but OMG! I usually complain about Columbus not having any good food but I think I have found my new favorite spot. This eggplant Parmesan was sooooooooooo good! It was hot and fresh, the sauce the cheese THE EGGPLANT! So delicious and I will be back again. Can’t wait to try some of the other dishes, especially the seafood.

So we visited Cafe Amici Thursday evening. Great experience overall. The restaurant was very clean and put together and the staff was courteous, well presented, and knowledgeable about the menu. We started off with Drinks, the pineapple Margherita was very good. Perfectly balanced in my opinion. Our appetizer was the mozzarella triangles which were absolutely outstanding, housemade, crispy, ooey-gooey goodness! My caeser salad was good, my wife house salad was as plain as it could get. Straight out of the bag it seems. My wifes Chicken Parm was pretty good cheesy, hot, well seasoned chicken breast. The pasta was perfectly cooked. My meal was bad, i tried something new so i wasnt really going to comment on it. It had a very intense lemon flavor that took over all other flavors on the plate. I'm not sure how its supposed to taste but im sure it shouldn't be pure lemon. I ordered a lasagna to go, i wanted something else to review so i went with an Italian staple. It taste like it was glued together with tomatoe paste to quicken cooking times. It also was no good. The bread served to the table is a cut up bagget with a compoud butter smeared on it.
