Amici in Torbay

As long standing local residents in Torquay, we are privileged to have two outstanding Italian restaurants - Amici and sister restaurant Biancos, where we regularly enjoy the excellent food, ambience and service, especially on special occasions. On 21st September my husband and I celebrated my Birthday at Amici at lunchtime. It has to be said that the food quality and attentive service was outstanding and made my day even more special. Amici's food quality is always excellent, but our expectations were exceeded by the Owner Mauro facilitating off-menu pre-order steaks, prepared and cooked to perfection by the Amici Chef. Both Amici's and Bianco's continue to maintain the highest possible standards of ingredients, creative and authentic cookery, excellent wine list and attentive and friendly service and, above all, a great meal!

Well established restaurant offer excellent service and lovely food. Extensive menu choices even for GF. Service prompt and attentive. Would go back absolutely yes.

Having visited this fantastic restaurant last year we wanted to make a return visit, and we weren’t disappointed. The food is still superb, absolutely delicious 😋 and the attentive staff couldn’t have done more to make the evening more pleasurable. Full marks to our waiter, Jose, who looked after us with a friendly smile and a willingness to ensure we were happy, as was the charming owner whom we met as we left. If you’re in the area, do book a table and give them a try - we’ll be returning soon!!

Amazing food, Our waiter José was amazing, very good experience with the staff and the food, will definitely be here again soon

Well our 4 visit last night was kind of ok but not great, Our first visit with friends was brilliant top service well the next 3 ok but once again did not book last night but not over busy the table in the corner by the window does not work we pulled table out so we were not looking at the wall staff did not like this but we spent £118.00 and felt a little let down ordered Rib Eyes but we're told they ran out but there goes once over the £100 I want top service which needs a good table Simon & Samantha

Lovely restaurant, great service and delicious food. Prices were as expected of an Italian restaurant. Dessert was great!

Myself and a my girlfriend went here as we had heard great things about it, I ordered one of the Steaks that was on the blackboard behind the bar and it was cooked to perfection and my girlfriend had the ‘Ravioli of the day’ and she was super pleased, amazing food, top quality and we are both looking forward to going again and trying the other specials they have in as they were delicious.

Three of us went on a Friday lunchtime. It was quite busy and had a good atmosphere. The tricolor salad and the mushrooms starters were really good. I had the chicken salad which was excellent, with lots of chicken. My husband had pasta and our friend had a pizza. All of the dishes were delicious with really large portion sizes. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had gelato for dessert and it was so creamy and gorgeous. I had a scoop of hazelnut and a scoop of pistachio. We had none of us ever been to this place before, and we don’t live in Torquay, we just picked this place off google maps and we all agreed that it was a fantastic place.

My boyfriend and I had the most amazing experience at amici’s. The staff were so nice and the food was perfect. I had the margarita pizza and my boyfriend had a creamy pasta and we both had dough sticks for a starter. We both highly recommend this restaurant for a great meal.

Seemed to be nice athmosphere and it was, though too crowded. My husband ate pasta carbonara, which looked horrible. Pasta was "swimming" in sauce which did not look very creamy. The taste was not very good, never again. Chicken salad was okay, the dressing was weird, did not like it. Too much olives, very Basic sala. Would not go there the second time.

First time dining here after trying other Italian restaurants in the near vicinity and this is our favourite. Food was delicious and there was a great atmosphere( even on Monday)! Our waiter, jose, was absolutely lovely, very attentive and friendly..just what you want to make...

We have never visited Amicis before but decided to try it and take our friend who was visiting for weekend. We all loved the food which included a good vegetarian choice for our friend. The atmosphere was great and we were served by Jose who...

Pretty good but rushed. We enjoyed our meal but staff rushed us from start to finish, whilst I understand the need to sit tables twice in the current climate I feel there is a way to do so without diminishing the overall experience. The food...

Went for a casual date night to Amici with my wife, served by the commendable waiter Jose who couldn't have been more pleasant, great service with a smile, definitely be back soon, thank you...

Fantastic meal and lovely restaurant but our experience was made special by our server Jose who went the extra mile to ensure we enjoy ourselves, he also know how to pour a perfect glass of wine something not many servers do. Thank you to him...

Great food and service, we sat outside with the dog, but still great service. My husband couldn’t finish his pasta because there was so much. Great Italian food.

Overall 10/10, food was amazing and the soup starter was probably the best soup I’ve ever tried, thank you to Hannah for your amazing service would definitely go again

Lovely place, highly recommend! We were fortunate enough to be waited on by Jose who went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time. Really professional and interesting guy. Hope to visit again.

Great atmosphere, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient staff. We both had pizza and both asked to change one of the ingredients which was no problem. Food was excellent and wine was delicious.

Beautiful clean restaurant… amazing food and amazing staff…if only we lived nearer we would definitely be using this each week ..

A last minute booking. We requested a window seat if possible. We had a lovely warm greeting and the table as requested. It was a lively and buzzing atmosphere. We were in section one and were attended by several staff but mainly Jose. He was...

In our 1 week stay, we had dinner at Amici 4 times! Each time the food and service were incredible. We were greeted with such enthusiasm, and Jose in particular was fabulous. Everyone works well together and the staff actually look like they want to...

Great evening at Amici's. Food was excellent as always, and wonderful friendly service from Jose. Thank you. We will be back.

Never tried this restaurant before. Did not know what we were missing. The service was excellent and the meal was well worth the visit to Torquay. Pasta, Pizza the choice was endless.

Lovely food and surroundings, made extra special by the amazing service from José. He seemed to be everywhere at once and was very attentive and friendly, it's been a long time since we had such amazing service. Thanks José, you made our evening very special....

Food was bland, nothing special though the staff tried hard. Centrally located, we were hurried out as hadn’t booked and they needed the table in an hour and a half

One word, OUTSTANDING! As usual the chefs produced the most amazing food, fresh and and so tasty and the front of house staff, so friendly and full of personality. Can’t wait to come back.

We came here for dinner to celebrate my wife’s birthday, booking in advance. The location is easy to find and a little set back from the street, with seating outside also. We had a very nice waiter who was very attentive, but his back up...

The menu is ridiculously big, food is obviously frozen and grilled or microwaved to near death. Yes it's a nice big venue with outside seating, good for groups but not for quality. Staff more interested in churn of guests than any attention. Wouldn't bother to...

Such a lovely restaurant with great food and a great atmosphere. Service was excellent - efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Had a lovely meal on sat night. The place was buzzing, great food and atmosphere. We were served by Jose& fab, who were very attentive. Altogether an amazing night.

Torquay is busy with hundreds of places to eat. This place is exceptional for food and service; efficient and genuine. Our experience was terrific and appreciated especially given the very hectic Saturday night.

Absolutely horrendous! Food was disgusting. Chicken in creamy mushroom sauce tasted so overpowering of mustard, it was inedible. Couldn't eat more than a few mouthfuls and have been violently ill with food poisoning since. My friend had a pizza and reported it to be the...

Excellent Italian restaurant. We loved the food and the atmosphere, but the best thing of all was the very professional, warm and friendly service that we received from our waiter José. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed...

Lovely evening at Amici’s where we were very pleased to be looked after by a lovely member of staff called Zuzanna. Delightful person who really gets the award for being attentive and engaging but not over the top. Food was good and atmosphere great.

Spontaneous dinner after popping to town for a couple of drinks and time got the better of us! Popped in to Amici who were able to squeeze us in with it being so busy! We were hosted by Jose, who was fantastic and gave great...
