Italian
food
is
much
more
than
pasta
on
a
plate.
Or
pizza
on
a
platter.
The
recipes
are
typically
time-tested
over
generations
of
family.
Variety
IS
the
spice
of
life
and
IS
an
integral
part
of
Italian
cuisine.
With
that
said,
part
of
the
intrigue
of
eating
Italian
is
exploring
the
wide
variety
it
presents.
Northern
Italian
versus
Southern
Italian.
Deep
dish
versus
thin
crust.
You
get
my
drift.
Fab
One
and
I
were
on
the
going-home
side
of
a
wonderful
Sunday
drive.
We
started
thinking
about
dinner.
Go
home
and
cook,
OR???
That's
the
moment
us
Foodies
love.
Finding
an
excuse
to
getting
online
and
doing
some
visual
food
sampling.
Digitally,
we
travel
into
Mexico,
the
Mediterranean,
Italy
and
more.
We
ultimately
set
our
baggage
at
the
door
of
one
place
we
desire
to
explore
further.
To
step
through
the
door
is
to
begin
a
journey
of
tempting
tastes.
We
hope...
That's
when
we
settled
on
Amici.
The
reviews
were
good.
They
painted
a
virtual
picture
of
what
we
were
looking
for.
WE
were
in
the
mood
for
Italian
food.
I
must
admit
we've
driven
Highway
54,
or
Wesley
Chapel
Blvd
as
it's
called,
for
many
years.
And
I
can
never
remember
having
noticed
Amici.
Maybe
I
spotted
the
building,
but
it
never
registered
there's
a
potential
Italian
hideaway
hidden
there.
No
matter.
As
soon
as
we
walked
in,
we
were
happily
greeted
by
several
of
the
crew.
Taking
a
seat,
Nick
came
over
and
introduced
himself.
Nick
is
a
really
likeable
young
man.
His
manner
exudes
kindness
and
caring.
He
started
his
employ
at
Amici's
doing
the
dishes.
A
hard,
hot
job.
But
he's
in
the
right
place
now,
making
customers
feel
welcome
and
giving
them
a
great
reason
to
return.
I
wish
him
well
in
his
endeavors.
We
already
knew
we
wanted
to
get
a
pizza,
so
our
menu
moments
were
brief.
We
ordered
The
Works
Pizza
-
Large
16
inch.
A
side
salad
filled
the
void
in
our
tummies
and
the
void
in
time
until
Nick
placed
OUR
pizza
on
the
bent-wire
pizza
platform.
The
first
food
impression
was
solidly
excellent.
Fab
One
and
I
both
leaned
in,
and
over
that
pie.
Don't
you
love
leaning
in
like
that?
Breathing
in,
to
catch
the
bubbling
aromas
rising
up
in
those
little
plumes
of
steam?
This
pizza
was
an
Italian
Masterpiece.
LOTS
of
ingredients
covering
the
crusty
acreage.
My
favorite
was
the
mushrooms.
They
were
not
overcooked
shriveled
up
and
burnt
fungi.
They
were
still
moist,
succulent
and
packed
with
taste.
WE
were
absolutely
raving
about
this
flat
food
phenomenon!
We
raved
to
Nick.
And
to
the
couple
next
to
us.
And
we
asked
Nick
to
send
word
back
to
the
kitchen
as
well.
Kudos!
A
thoroughly
enjoyable
meal,
with
superb
service.
AND,
on
the
way
home,
seeing
that
little
brown
pizza
box
on
the
backseat
brought
happy
thoughts
to
mind.
LEFTOVERS!
We
all
know
leftover
pizza
is
KING!
Tell
them
Beth
and
John
suggested
this
place.
