Amici in Caerphilly

Walked in on the off chance Friday afternoon 1700hrs.. Potentially for a glass of wine and olives……. We soon changed our choices .. Started with breaded squid & caprese salad with a bottle of Chianti.. Mains - Linguine Gorgonzola and Linguine Amici… Sweets of tiramisu & affogato sided with Amaretto & Johnnie Walker black label.. Endex was expresso and spring water.. Oh and a complimentary limoncello (thank you)… A well presented comfortable seating area down stairs.. Did not visit upstairs.. As we entered we were sweetly welcomed to a table. I say sweetly because it was a young member of staff.. ( I was being patronising) … I apologise.. This person and all the young staff were exceptionally professional and courteous.. They have been schooled well.. Bravo… From a 30 min visit to a lovely cordial 2 hour experience.. Ended with a pleasant chat with the busy restaurateurs.. (So nice for you to take the time during an obviously busy time)… By the way so nice to see so many families visiting…

We had a delicious meal at Amici in Blackwood last night. A really lovely restaurant with outstanding service too. Can’t believe we’ve never been there before, will definitely go back again soon. Thank you all so much for a lovely evening 👏👏👏👏👏

First time visiting and won't be the last! Whole experience was wonderful! Staff were friendly and tentative, and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend a visit!

Had a lovely lunchtime meal with family last Saturday. We had great service and all enjoyed our food, I had sea bass with prawns, mussels etc and it was absolutely delicious, followed by Pana Cota. I wish I'd taken photos but we were enjoying everything so much I forgot. Looking forward to visiting again soon, thankyou x ps my daughter in law was unimpressed with the vinegar for her chips and said it tasted funny, was it normal malt vinegar? Thanks x

Lovely lunch once again. Good value for money with weekday offer of £8.50 for any pasta or pizza dish. Service very good and food tasty.

Food disgusting! Meals sent back! Part of my family are Italian and their home made food tastes 100% better than this chef's food!!! We obviously complained and chef came to our table and was very rude to all of us. He didn't even apologise. He certainly does not know how to cook Italian food. Microwave Italian food tastes so much better than this chef's cooking. Appalling behaviour from this chef! However, rest of staff very polite.

Fantastic food and fantastic service will definitely be back , Teri and Bruna looked after us so well but all the staff were amazing

Wonderful restaurant run by Italians , fantastic staff, great cocktails & delicious food- the steak tagliatelle is a favourite of ours. We visit regularly and are never disappointed.

Amazing meal on a Sunday at lunch time. I didn’t even realise they were open at this time! We will definitely return 🥰 Fabulous food and superb service.

Lovely meal tonight. Great service from lovely staff. Young waiter helped my disabled husband to visit the toilet and brought him back to our table. It was a special meal for our 55th wedding anniversary, many thanks to all the staff.

Birthday dinner for husband. Warm and cosy restaurant. Service very good. We had prawns to start. Followed by fish pasta and sea bass. It was all served really hot which is great. It tasted beautiful. Red wine was very good and not overly expensive, considering how good it was. A little gem of a restaurant in Blackwood,

Are you looking for an Italian restaurant visit Amici. It has very kind staff, and restaurant is very fancy, has comfy seats and it was very, very clean. The food was AMAZING, I felt like I had been transported to Italy! The pasta was really juicy and scrumptious and the pizza mwha…amazing! You can choose your own pizza topping. You can pick pineapple, tomatoes, sausages, pepperoni to name but a few. It's the perfect place to visit for a family get together, a romantic date or Thursday when you can't be bothered to cook. I loved it there. I give it a five star rating.

I visited Amici restaurant with my parents for a family birthday. It is a great place for a delicious dinner for all occasions. Their drinks are also out of this world! When we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted by a lovely Italian gentleman who was kind and friendly. He took us to our table and a wonderful waitress, named Ellie, brought us the menu. We had plenty of time to choose what we wanted, nothing was rushed, which was fantastic. When the food arrived it was outstanding - it was hot, fresh and well cooked. I had steak, and it was so juicy and thick, it was one of the best steaks I have ever had. The restaurant was calm, played Italian music and there were plenty of people talking and laughing. This Italian restaurant is definitely worth a visit, especially if you live in the Blackwood area. It's a fantastic Italian right on our doorstep.

The wife and I have eaten here a few times and it’s always consistently good From the warm welcome you get from Flavio and staff to the great value for money food Looking forward to our next visit

Wow! First time in visiting and I was very impressed. Staff were amazing . Very polite and friendly. I’ve been to Italians in the past and always been put off but pushy waiters. There was a new lad that had just started and he did an impeccable job. Was freindly with my children and myself. Made me feel so welcome! The food was delicious! The best Italian I’ve had by far? My children had pizza which they thoroughly enjoyed. Portions are huge ! Very reasonably priced. Children are quite fussy with food and the really enjoyed the pizza. This is now my fav place to go.

Went with a group before a show in Blackwood Institute. Food wasn't the best sadly. 😕 Nobody in the party left there with amazing opinion of what they had to eat. Service a bit disjointed with some having almost finished food whilst others still waiting on theirs. Waiting staff were friendly and tried to make it better but there's only so much they can do. Wouldn't not go there again if was part of a group that wqs going ....but myself....wouldn't book to go again if I could help avoiding.

The food and service was of a high standard as has been the case on my previous visits. I have however checked the prices i paid for drinks and feel that they are high in my opinion. Soda and a dash of lime at £4 and Tia maria at £5.80. I may need to review my expectations but please consider your prices.

Called in for lunch it was excellent Food was lovely staff very friendly all in all 10/10 we will return next time we are in the area

Beautiful interior with very friendly staff and on top of that the food was great! I, personally, had a steak and it was so good. Tender and juicy, easy to cut and of great size. With the starter and the desert also being so nice. I highly recommend this place but more so for occasions like dates as the intimacy would be ever-present along with great food and great staff.

Deeply disappointed, as booked for lunch with a friend for birthday, but was closed when we turned up, although we had a confirmation of booking. I had a missed phone call off them morning of, but when I returned call, I just had an automated message. I confirmed again our booking,I received no voicemail or Email to say they were doing maintenance. When I finally got through late afternoon having spent the time else where in the area, I asked them would they give us the lunch time prices that evening for their lack of communication. They said, NO, deeply dissatisfied and disappointed as we spent many an enjoyable nights there.Shocking treatment. Unfortunately, lost us and our Sardinian daughter in law as customers. We shall patronised other Italian restaurants from now on.

Another fabulous meal at Amici’s. Good, swift service and delicious home cooked food. Great value too. The spaghetti with courgette and tomato sauce was one of the tastiest meals I’ve had out for a long time- well done. Staff are always friendly and welcoming too.

Last minute booking at 21:15...they were happy to accommodate us and were super helpful and friendly. I have to say...all 4 meals were excellent...will be back...Thank you!

Pros:lovely setting and atmosphere . Good choice of food. Reasonable prices. Food freshly prepared and promptly served. Cons :a long walk up steep steps to toilets. Hopefully an accessible one too but didn't see it. Waiters rather too intrusive. Back off a bit please.

Food was okay at best , Had to send 2 dishes back as one was wrong dish completely and the other cold. On a positive those matters were dealt with promptly. But I couldn't relax as felt staff waiting /watching our ever move. Hovering over...

This was a last minute booking as I saw it recommended on TripAdvisor and I was not disappointed. The customer service was excellent, the food was served very quickly and it was all delicious. The prices are very reasonable too and the atmosphere was very...

Visited for the first time and we were greeted by a friendly waitress and shown to our table. Our drinks order was prompted taken and delivered and then a different waitress came to take our food order. Literally within 5 minutes our starters came, I...

Food was nice, pleasant waiting staff, but the volume of the music completely spoiled our meal. We literally could not hear each other so conversation was impossible.

We visited Amici in Blackwood a few times. Prior visits we have rated highly. Food is quality and the best Italian I’ve had in along time. But tonight was different. No sooner had we sat down we were given our menus…. Ordered within minutes… starter...

The whole experience was lovely. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff were attentive .Beautiful food

Met up with an old friend from London and wanted something really special. I had been to Amici the week before with family for the first time and was so impressed that I booked to take my friend. Spotlessly clean with an amazing atmosphere. Service...

We went as a group of 16 from work and I can’t rate this place enough. Delicious food with generous portions.

Party of 7 and nobody particularly enjoyed the main course. Comments such as bland, average and not great, seemed to be the overall theme. On a positive note, most said starters were nice (probably therefore raising expectations of mains). Staff friendly but very slow service.

Not a pasta lover, so went for ribeye steak. The marbling was very chewy, so I hade to separate it from the steak and leave it. Came with frozen chips which was disappointing. One member of our party said that her cannelloni was bland. Scallop...

Saddened at how much this place has changed (& not for the better). Used to go often but now slow service and bland food. Not sure whats happened? But a let down.

I'd read rave reviews of this place. Unfortunately, our experience was anything but. Wine was horrid, your sort of 5 euro bottle stuff. Pasta dishes were fine. I'm not a great cook, but I'm confident I could make the food served just as nice myself....

Had a fabulous little lunch here today after a show at the Miners Institute. Very welcoming to my three year old who loved her kids size pizza. Excellent food and friendly and attentive service, would highly recommend!

So disappointed. Been a fairly regular customer. Time before last service was slow but I let it slide as food was lovely. This time (Feb. 23)) waited an hour for food and at that was given wrong dish. When highlighted was told by waitress "...

An altogether pleasant experience. As a small party of three, we visited for lunch in the middle of December. As soon as we walked in, the atmosphere felt right..... warm and cosy with festive decorations all around. We were greeted by a member of staff...

I'd heard good things about this restaurant. I was still surprised at how good the food was. The relaxed atmosphere and service gave no indication that the food be anything better than acceptable, but it was EXCELLENT. Well presented, good portions and fantastic taste. I...

Fabulous - 17 of us tonight for my son in laws 40 birthday celebrations. Lovely atmosphere and staff wonderful and so patient with lots of children. Food great - slight issue with 2,of the steaks but soon sorted with the chef - excellent customer service...

This restaurant never fails to amaze me, it’s our favourite place to eat. The food here is of excellent quality fresh and succulent, the menu is varied, something for everyone. Staff are extremely pleasant always attentive to your need, booked for New Year’s Eve months...

Went to the Amici restaurant while visiting friends from Treharris. The restaurant was very good,, the food and service were excellent, especially the waitresses. Best Italian I've been to for quite a while inc, better than anything we have in Bristol

We had cheesy garlic break for starters which was really yummy, and impressive to look at but did seem like one of the ones you buy from a supermarket! My meal was soooo good, I had the linguini cocktail which was amazing, I basically inhaled...

Visited Amici for a family lunch, great food, great service, excellent lunch special pricing on Pizza and pasta with generous portions, will definitely be visiting again.

I cannot praise this place enough. My son booked this birthday celebration 40 minutes before our sitting as we were let down by a more local restaurant. The service provided is highly commendable. My two sons and I really enjoyed our meals; starters, mains and...

Superb restaurant great food. Was very busy booking advised! but food came out in good time piping hot and fresh and to a very good standard. Loved it. My steak was amazing!

Welcomed at the door by the friendly staff and shown to our pre booked table. Table booked for 7pm and this lovely place was already very busy but staff served all our different meals all at the same time. Meals were fabulous and starters too….not...

Lovely date night. Amazing food, good atmosphere and attentive staff. Good value for money we will definitely return. Hopefully return soon.

I attended Amici on Thursday 12th May for a works event. I'm not sure why, but as I approached, the outside decor made me inwardly groan. At first sight, the inside stairwell did nothing to quell my apprehension. However, after a few minutes of observation...

Lovely place for some nice food, I wouldn’t say the flavours of my dish were outstanding but I think I just went for the wrong one. The others I tried were superb so I definitely would return. The place doesn’t look much from the outside...

We love Amici's. This is an amazing independent restaurant in Blackwood. It's our 'go to' place for any occasion. The staff are fantastic and so accommodating. This visit saw five of us enjoy pasta and chicken dishes. It was the first time I'd chosen a...

We went as a group of 12 from work and I can't rate this place enough. All of our food came out together, boiling hot. The staff were attentive, the atmosphere was lovely. Not one of the 12 of us had anything bad to say....

Visited Aimics restaurant today, it was the best Italian meal I've had in a long time. The service was excellent and atmosphere was fantastic. To me and our group it was 5* will definitely be going back

What a lovely place to socialise with a friend. The atmosphere was lovely and it was bustling and vibrant even on a mid week night. Staff were polite and attentive without being overbearing and it was little touches like greeting us in and out of...

Been here a few times but decided last minute ti visit Xmas Eve, they managed to squeeze us in. Week we’re upstairs this time how lovely it was the service was great, as for the food it was superb and very plentiful. Can’t wait to...

I am very disappointed with the service I've had, I been to this restaurant many of times no issues until now, I had booked to come for a works Christmas do, unfortunately due to COVID one of the parties had a positive PCT as has...

Always a great experience when visiting amici, delicious food with generous portions! no overly complicated COVID regulations as found with most other restaurants I.e QR codes, registrations and so on. Always welcoming friendly staff , would recommend!

What a very pleasant experience here. The food was faultless. As a party of 5 we had a variety of meals and each one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals from the starters to the deserts. The staff were attentive and came back to us...

Disappointing . My steak was almost inedible because of sinews,and that was very off-putting. There was no offer of a discount and I didn't make a fuss or request one - because it was my sister's treat for her birthday. There are no easily accessible...

Really pleasant experience from start to finish. The bruschetta starter was worth the money just for the aroma alone, and the taste certainly didn't disappoint. The cannelloni was perfection also, and served by staff who were attentive and very polite. You just knew that it...

Excellent food plenty of choice, friendly Staff made to feel welcome, lovely atmosphere Will deffo book again , make sure you book in advance as very busy .

Lovely welcome from the staff quiet but friendly, fantastic service and amazing food. I would highly recommend this.

The food was very good but the attitude of one particular female staff spoilt the night. We will never go there again

Me and my wife came here for our usual date night. Could not believe how quick the service was seated swiftly by the time I asked for the drink it was basically on the table same goes for the food I drank half a pint...

We hadn't pre booked but were able to get a table. The staff were very attentive. Food lovely very fresh and tasty. The decor was very stylish. We went at lunchtime and I can imagine it would be lovely in the evenings. We had a...

My mum and son came with me at lunchtime in the week for a meal. We didn't book but luckily there was room as it was busy. Our meals were freshly served. A nice bruschetta starter and home made pizza for me and carbonara pasta...

We both ordered the chicken dishes this time and the portions were really big and do tasty in thelovelysauces. The tiramisu dessert was out of this world...delivered in 17 mins after ordering online.

I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! Amazing service, food portions are very large, and due to the lockdown, online orders are simple and quick. Best Italian around in my opinion

Ordered a pizza as they are closed for lockdown. As usual, absolutely superb - they are consistently good. Tonight, I ordered delivery but they were very busy so tried to ring me 6 times! to arrange something. My phone was on silent 🤢 so when...

Thank you so much for our lovely takeaway this evening,delivered on time. Food was delicious and finished off with a lemoncello,a taste of Italy . A very happy new year to you all and a healthy one .See you soon xx

Beautiful freshly cooked italian food, by an extremely gifted, talented and skilled chef, excellent friendly customer service. This place tucked away in Blackwood is definitely worth visiting, I have never tasted food so good, it's exquisite and deserves rocognition

As title says, this restaurant is simply amazing, in every way. My wife and I have Amici’s stunning food almost weekly, thanks to their takeaway service, which has never disappointed. 30 mins from ordering to eating... Simply put, this real family run Italian restaurant aims...

Recommended by friends, not disappointed excellent food excellent service will visit again soon. The pannacotta was amazing.

We booked for the lunchtime menu and was not disappointed with anything. The food was piping hot and tasted fantastic and the service exceptional while still adhering to all the Covid 19 restrictions . We would definitely recommend this restaurant it has been refurbished to...

Staff were lovely and helpful. I have visited twice in the last month. Menu is fab with a great lunch time deal. Pizza was gorgeous, only downfall was that there were no sauces when requested only tomatoe sauce. Would be handy to look into various...

Absolutely lovely lunch here today. The place is much brighter and appears a lot more spacious than previously. Food was delicious and service excellent.
