5 stars across the board for service, ambience and taste. Great spot, we sat outside and enjoyed our dining experience thoroughly. I only gave 4 stars due to price, maybe it's just downtown Sarasota (quite possibly) but that was by far the most I've paid for 2 (for pasta).
Amazing food and wine selection! I highly recommend the Rigatoni Alla Norcina, and for dessert the Tiramisu. Service is also great!
We had a great experience dining here on St Patrick’s Day. The best tomahawk steak that I have had in town. Excellent wine selection too. This is also a wonderful place to celebrate a special event. We had our own room with a dance floor and DJ! If I could add a video you could see the bicycle that you ride that blends a Margarita! It really works. Ask for the owner Massimo he’s a class act.
We celebrated our wedding anniversary night at Cafe Amici 🇮🇹. I would recommend this restaurant, excellent food and service. Steak Fillet with peppercorn and layered potatoe with vegetables❣ wife had Braciole & Orecciette rolled steak and pasta 💕.
Food was very good. Loved the Buratta appetizer. We ordered the Beef short ribs and the Bone in real chop....really tender.
Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We sat outside on a gorgeous night. Definitely going back.
Every dish we had was amazing! The spinach Gorgonzola salad was delicious. I got the pear pasta and my boyfriend got the chicken milanese. Highly recommend the pear pasta if you like a combination of savory and sweet. The ambiance and service were excellent.
Suburb ambiance, takes a long time for food but worth the wait. Super cosy. I got the special that was a stuffed pepper. It was more like a meatball on top of a deflated pepper but still wonderful! The real MVP was the espresso martini.
I dine at Cafe Amici upon every visit to Sarasota (every 2 weeks). It is by far the best restaurant in town with the freshest seafood and pastas. Tonight I ordered the fresh Octopus from Portugal as well as the Tomahawk Ribeye. Just amazing which motivated me to write this review. I’ve become more impressed with this restaurant upon each visit and highly recommend! Massimo is also an amazing host!
Hidden gem in downtown dinning! Cafe Amici is awesome Italian restaurant! Food is truly brilliant, Russian speaking waitress provide excellent service! We be definitely back soon!!
Beef short ribs with polenta is my absolute favorite meal! And guess what it’s only 26$!!!
As a lady who went to venice and was smitten with the food, this place gets the stamp of approval. Jason was our server and did a fabulous job
The lasagna was the best I've ever had; husband had the Branzino and he thought it was great. The calamari appetizer was very good but a bit on the salty side. My Hendricks gin and tonic was unusual - didn't really taste like a G&T, but can't quite figure out what it tasted like...
Hidden gem downtown Sarasota! Feels of Italy in every plate! Best Italian food in the area!
I am italian and this is a perfect trattoria Italiana. So cozy and the food is cooked by their owners (they are the chefs). I specially requested Lobster Linguini... they did it...
It was delicious.
This is not a comercial nor touristic restaurant. This place is far beyond!
Congrats!
Great spot for dinner and drinks. The owners and staff welcome you as part of the family and make your experience one to remember.
