It is always a pleasant and delicious experience whenever we go to Amici for some dose of real Italian food treat. The place is spacious, bright and cheerful. Though everything is do-it-yourself , (from ordering your food, to getting your own glass of water with ice, to fetching your own spoons and forks and even condiments ) the staff and crew are fast and friendly.
One of the reasons we keep coming back to Amici is their pizza. The crust is just heavenly; the toppings are very flavorful and delicious, and the pizza sauce completes that real authentic Italian kick. Brick-oven-baked, Amici pizzas are truly one of the best I've had. Whether you ordered one with meat toppings, or meat and veggies or even just plain cheese, which by the way is my favorite, it is perfect pizza each and every time.
Another reason why we couldn't stay away from this food haven is their gelato! Three trips in two weeks, there must be something really amazingly creamy and delicious in these scoops of frozen delights!
... chocolate with nuts.... and the one with fruits...
.... the one with mango and the one with strawberries, oh, so good!
.... stracciatella (vanilla with nuts) and blueberry.... Mon and I enjoyed this pair most!
We had a pasta dish to-go... which by the way is another great reason to keep tripping back to Amici. If their pizza and their gelato are that good, how can their pasta not be, too! Sorry, their pasta was so good I forgot to take a photo the second we tore open the foil....
Every trip to Amici is worth it. Lots to try on the menu, great food, big servings and easy on the pocket. I haven't even raved about their lunch specialties, soups, desserts and paninis yet and I am already thinking of going back.
sinful!
ReplyDeleteHow much is their gelato now?
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of Amici and have been visiting the place eversince. I wasn't too happy when they sold it (sigh). Anyway, I've yet to go to Amici now that they've changed management. I hope the food and the service is still the same. I hate to see it become as just one-of-those Italian restaurants now.
wyatt, yes, sinfully delicious indeed! ;-)
ReplyDeletedyosa, a scoop costs about 48 or is it 50...
we love it there too. i dont think there was any change in the food and service after the change in management... ;-)
yan nakakamiss sa pinas, mura ang ice cream! :(. dito medyo mahal eh! :) except sa potong. super yummy naman ng gelatos. even the pizza too!
ReplyDeletesyel, ay oo. at mas masarap ang ice cream dito... actually, imported ang Amici. italian talaga sha... pero mura pa din compared siguro dyan...
ReplyDeleteyou should try this restau pag nag bakashon ka dito... it is a must...
three trips in two weeks! cool!:)
ReplyDeleteshalumhahaha, yes, three. but only the first trip had the pizza and pasta. the second and third trips were just for the gelato. ;-)
ReplyDeletei super love thei ensaimadas. they come in a box of 6. good price P70 for 6 pieces.
ReplyDeleteanonymous, yea, ive tried their ensaimadas too. but that was a long time ago when they were like P50-60 lang then. theyre really good.
