Amicis in Italian means "friends", and that's kind of the relationship I have with Amici's Trattoria Italian Restaurant. I've been visiting this place since middle school, when I would save my lunch money and use it to by a $1.25 delicious, over-sized slice of pizza on the way home. Honestly, it was just as good then as it is now. Amici's grew over the years, while I was doing the same just blocks away, from a tiny, 5-table restaurant to what it is now - a slightly larger, 15-table restaurant.
I've never been to Italy, but I imagine this is how the neighborhood restaurants really are. With Italian herb and cheese aroma filling the air, warm colored decor, framed black and white photos, I feel like I'm in the heart of Venice. The food here is fresh, hearty, and very affordable. I recommend coming in for the lunch specials, when you can order pretty much any dish for $6.95 and it comes with salad and garlic rolls (bring mints because these bad boys are covered in minced garlic, but are to die for!). Aside from the dishes, Amici's offers a large selection of brick oven pizza, cooked right in the front of the restarant.
For the family, this is the perfect place to eat well, save money, and come together.

OMG,I love Amicis! The food is awesome. I haven't been there in a while though...I think I'm gonna go back one of these days.
My brother and I can testify that the tortellini is awesome. Huge portions at cheap prices, cant go wrong with Amicis.
I recently discovered Amici's and I loved it! I've been craving for their pasta for quite a while now, but I haven't had the chance to go. Reading about it in your blog is making me crave it even more!
