We've visited this local restaurant several time and we've had mixed experiences. The food is generally good but I recommend sticking to the basics: The simple pasta dishes, eggplant parmesan, and mussel appetizer are consistently well-prepared. Unfortunately, the service is not quite as consistent. On one occasion we entered a nearly empty restaurant on a weeknight at 5pm but hostess would not seat us in the dining room. She offered us a small table among some rowdy happy-hour regulars. Not romantic and not relaxing. We've seen this problem noted on other reviews and can't explain the behavior. On another occasion we witnessed a loud argument between the bartender and one of the waitresses. We've also experienced some attitude and impatience from the wait staff when we've asked clarifying questions as though they were annoyed that we didn't know every detail of the dishes we'd never ordered. I can't say that we've ever had a really positive experience at Amici due to the service. We still occasionally visit Amici Bistro due to the close proximity to our home but I think there's ample room for improvement. If you need to wait out the ferry line, the place is a good spot for respite and a bite if your'e patient and forgiving.
Pros: Convienent to ferry commuters
Cons: Service, value
