    I hate to leave bad reviews, especially after seeing so many good ones, but man the service was absolutely terrible. Our waitress was so rude, at one point when we finally waved her down because she just wouldn’t come to our table she stopped, looked at us from across the restaurant & said “what” I was in awe, I asked her if she could please come to our table as we didn’t want to yell out our requests across the restaurant. We legit just left after that (we only ordered an appetizer & sent it back because it was gross). It was the fried calamari, it was not good at all. Maybe their other stuff is good but with the way the waitress treated us, we don’t think it’s worth even going back.

    I've been to this place to dine in, and I have also ordered take-out several times and have not been disappointed yet. The pizza is one of my top 3 favorites. The pizza sauce has a bit of a sweetness to it that I thoroughly enjoy. The garlic rolls are also pretty awesome. As a pizza lover and someone who has tried many pizza places, I definitely recommend trying this place.

    Wow! From the moment I opened the door I was engulfed in a feeling of authentic Italian sights and music. Amici’s staff was friendly and had sincerely treated me with respect. I ordered a large mushroom and onion pizza. Delicious! Quality ingredients👌

    This place has come a long way and their food has gotten really good. I have been visiting Amici's for almost 20 years (I even worked there at some point) and I am really happy to see this place thrive and continue to improve with the years. I can tell they are using good quality ingredients and really care about their food. I am giving it 4 stars because the Coke products aren't really Coke products, I could tell it's the cheap syrup they're using and also because they've really jacked up the prices lately. Other than that, it was really good

    [This is based on their pizza only] Very disappointed after hearing from locals that this was the place for pizza. First time I ordered there and their workers tore the pizza from underneath with the peeler {see attached pics}. How do you send that out when you can obviously see it’s ripped? I was offered a credit for a future pizza. Kudos to the business for honoring me another pizza (I also ordered an additional plain pie); the pizza crust was burned on the 2nd visit (unlike what you see in the pics on Google) and in turn, dried the crust out to saltine cracker level dryness. Sauce & cheese is just ok. I got got for about $30 in total…but I won’t get got again. I’m from Jersey so I kind of know what good pizza should taste like - this ain’t where it’s at.

    Offering the discounted pizza on Tuesdays is not working if 3 out of 4 times we tried to order one the wait time has been 1.5 hours like it was tonight at 6:30pm. Either get a bigger pizza oven or give people a coupon for another night. Bad impression of the restaurant as a new resident!!

    First time having lunch here with my wife. I can assure it won't be my last. Pizza was absolutely amazing. Service was even better. Owner Steve came and introduced himself. Made us feel at home and very welcome. Would recommend to anyone interested in pizza and or Italian pizza.

    Delicious! A friend recommended this place, and so happy he did. The portions were great at a really good price. The food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly. We had the Chicken Parmigiana and the Chicken Alfredo, both came with soup and garlic bread. My husband and I ordered the food for carry-out and had a wonderful date in the park. Highly recommend!

    Food and service was excellent. My kids really enjoyed the pizza and garlic rolls. We will definitely be back! the homemade chicken noodle soup was a fave and the pizza special on Tuesdays is well worth the money. This is our family’s favorite Italian restaurant around.

  • 5/5 Vanessa V. 11 months ago on Google
    This is my first time I've been to this restaurant and I have not been disappointed at all. The service was great and the food came very fast and was very good! If I had a picture I would upload it but either way this restaurant is amazing and more people should know about it! ❤️

    Best pizza I’ve ever tried in my entire life!! The atmosphere and staff were amazing and the sauce is so unique and delicious, I’ve never had a pizza so good like this before. Will definitely be coming back every time I’m in this area. 10000/10!!

  • 5/5 Lori H. 8 months ago on Google
    We enjoy the Tuesday special for a large pizza $8.99. We ate in the restaurant tonight and were seated right away (party of 7). It's a small cozy space, dim lighting and friendly atmosphere. The owner makes his way to each table and speaks to all the guests. We had a good history lesson on Amici's. We've been eating here for years and will continue to in the future. It's that kind of place that when you find it, you become loyal to. Everything I've ever ordered from here is delicious. Service was great. And they had constant business of customers coming in for take out so ya know it's a good place.

    Before I go into my review, one thing is always for certain, I will tell it like it is. I came to Amici as a recommendation for really good pizza. I came with a party of three. We ordered a large cheese and a large pepperoni. Sam, our waitress, was barnone the best customer service I've experienced in South Florida. She took her time to explain the menu and was extremely patient and friendly. She even told us that they were known for their pizza. Which of course was consistent with what we heard...we were extremely excited as pizza lovers. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. The pizza was average at best. Maybe they had a bad day..I don't know. But I've had better pizza. I am willing to return to try it again. The entire party agreed with my assessment.

    We ate dinner, party of six, the server was very nice, polite and accommodating, the garlic rolls are very good, we all had different things from chicken, pasta, veal, everything was above average, the restaurant with us was slammed with patrons, they ran out of pizza that night, but we didn’t want any anyhow,

    Been here several times Best pizza in town reminds me of New York Style pizza! Excellent food all homemade and staff is amazing!! Highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Scott K. 1 year ago on Google
    Just discovered this little gem. No good Italian food left in east Pembroke Pines since Unbertos disappeared, though they had been on a downward spiral after the kids took over. Ordered Baked Ziti, Caesar salad and had a few garlic rolls thrown in to my to-go order. Saw a beautiful pizza just removed from the oven which will be my next choice. My dinner was wonderful and tasty. Staff was friendly and attentive and the restaurant though pretty small was cozy.

  • 5/5 Lucas F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great quiet and cozy place with excellent service and lots of good food. You have lunch specials and tasty desserts. Their baked pasta is amazing and the service is fast. Definitely visiting this place again soon.

    My local place and I love it. Food is always high quality and well prepared. Plenty of staff makes things move quickly. My favorites here? Pepperoni Pizza and the Sausage & Peppers over Ziti.

  • 5/5 Steven A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little place that reminds me of Italian Restaurants in my Home Town in Brooklyn. The garlic rolls were excellent, the creamy Italian dressing was delicious and my Eggplant Parm Dinner with Angel Hair Pasta was very good and on point. My Server was the sweetest young gal that can be. I recommend highly.

  • 3/5 Johnny G. 1 year ago on Google
    First time at this restaurant. We had the spaghetti and meatball and a couple of slices. The pasta was good…nice sauce and good taste. However, I expected much more from the pizza. It wasn’t very good…the worst part is that it was only about an hour after opening and the pizza was reheated and half burned. The crust cooled quickly which caused it to harden. Very disappointed. The service was very good since we were the only table taken, but when we brought up the issue with the pizza, the server just apologized, but didn’t offer any solution. I usually see a lot of movement at this restaurant, but unfortunately, we won’t return.

    Amazing service with even better food! The whole atmosphere is welcoming and so is the staff.

  • 5/5 Lauren N. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow wow wow! The food is delicious! Little hole in the wall! Great food, big servings, small prices! Can not beat it!! Really really good!!

  • 5/5 J R. 5 years ago on Google
    I have been eating here since its inception, and I must say it is some of the best Italian cuisine in the area. It's reasonably priced, quiet, and the food is almost always consistent. Sure, it's busy on pizza night (Tuesday), but that just shows how amazing their pizza is.

  • 5/5 Michael M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice local pizzeria with fast friendly service.

  • 5/5 Sue “Phantom reviews” V. 4 years ago on Google
    Great mom and pop shop. Food is awesome, garlic rolls, devine, Service quick and friendly. Very clean. Not for very little kids. Not big. But really good Italian food. Relaxing atmosphere you can eat without bother.

  • 4/5 Kay B. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered catering for a birthday. 4 pizzas and a pasta platter. Not bad. Will order again. Garlic bread was great. Service was great too.
