Great Food, Boutique Romance

by KnowingWhen at Citysearch

Dining rooms normally open 4:30 to 5. Knowing when to dine is important.

Professional diners, the outgoing accepting, smiling, laughing, enjoying great food, extremely polite, and always know what to order - crowd, always have a great time and leave with a smile. The 4:30-5:00ers want a respectable meal and not much more, they aren’t looking for the Amici “boutique” experience.. The closing server arrives at 6:00PM (last section seated) all dining room sections will then be open. Gregarious bistro's are best suited for visits after 6:00. The crowd and staff are setting the pace and enjoying their evening now. Amici Bistro is a big favorite and knowing is key. .. Advice: go with a smile and companions to have a fun evening.. We know some of the servers and will ask to sit in their section at times. We typically converse with other patrons, laugh lots, say hi and greet our servers. It’s as if we were all at home eating a very fine meal together. Cheers!

• Pros: Have Fun! You'll like Amici Bistro!!
• Cons: 4:30 Crowd just want a meal!

Good food, high prices

by bam79 at Citysearch

We have eaten at Amici Bistro several times. The food is good but the service can be spotty and the prices are just to high for the quality. We lived in San Francisco for years and the prices at Amici Bistro rival some of our favorite Italian restaurants in the expensive neighborhoods. The portions are much larger at Amici, which may justify the price to some, but they are really too large for one person. We often split entrees to offset the cost and avoid overeating. The Ravioli Fritti appetizer is one of our favorites.

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Prices

Drive on by

We had dinner here on a mid week with out of town friends. the service was "horrible", the stakes were terrible. i don't mind paying $38.00 for a good stake but when ordered med. rare and it comes out cold and well done all i got was attitude from the waiter. speaking of him he surely did not want to be there. i would highly recommend anywhere else besides this want to be bistro. and i am easy to please 5 thumbs down

• Pros: NONE
• Cons: Price does not come close to the Value
