Amici Restaurant in South Holland

We went on a Wednesday evening. Not too many people in, so we were able to chat to our friends. The service was excellent, from the moment we walked into the restaurant. There were staff available for the entire meal. The food was superb. We all had different dishes, pasta, belly pork, stuffed chicken, meatballs. Every single dish was fabulous. Prices were extremely competitive, drinks were good, desserts were well priced, and the meals varied although I think most of our dishes were around the £15-£18 mark. I have certainly paid more in other restaurants. Altogether a very good experience and we will go back soon.

The staff were amazing and so was the food , even though it was a busy night they still made sure that we were taken care of, if we needed more drinks or how our food was m. Every time we come here I am never disappointed by the food there is always so much flavour. Would definitely recommend to everyone

A lovely dining experience with superb food.

What a fabulous restaurant with delicious authentic food. So glad to have discovered it.

Back again. 4th time since discovering this gem back in May. They get busy on a Saturday night, pre booking is a must but my word I can see why - it’s absolutely worth every moment at this wonderful place. I had Mussels for a starters (of which they came and brought me extra bread for dipping into the sauce because that’s what Italians do, so I’m told!). Gnocchi for mains and then Affogato for dessert. The staff are super lovely and friendly, the owner/chef comes out to check that you’ve enjoyed your meal and I need come back many times to try EVERYTHING on the menu as each experience has got better and better. Which is ironic as I never used to want to eat Italian food at all. Thank you for another wonderful meal Amici and see you again!

First time and was well worth it. Will book again without doubt.

Had dinner here for my other half's birthday. They made it a lovely, memorable one. ❤️🥰 Thank you to all the staff! The food is excellent and well presented! The ambience is great. The staff are very friendly. Will recommend it definitely! 👍😉❤️

Absolutely fantastic - you walk into a busy but very welcoming atmosphere. Superb staff - they treat you as if you are their number 1 table. Food is amazing - great choice and superb. I never leave a review for anything or anyone but I cannot let Amici go without top marks 🌟

Had a fantastic anniversary meal here last night. Amazing food. Meatballs starter (polpettine) - delicious Pizza (diavola) - dia-licious Pasta (orecchiette) - delicious Dessert (panna cotta) - delicious Getting emotional just thinking about it. Might have to go back again tonight.

Incredible authentic Italian food! Amazing staff who make you feel welcome from the word go. Delicious carbonara, pulled pork calzone and roasted pork belly, just a few of what I managed to try off the family’s plates 😊 Thank you Ivan for making the night so special for the family!

Better Carbonara than Rome! Great authentic Italian food with great service. The owner and chef checked with all the guests to ensure everything was as expected

Had a wonderful meal Saturday 20th October. The food , staff service was the best . Thanks for a wonderful evening.

Expensive, overcrowded, poor service

The wild mushroom risotto is the best I have ever had 😋 So tasty ..

Went Saturday 19th, waited 40 mins for starter - Don’t bother and save your money food so bad and not Italian don’t want to go into to much as you won’t read, find another Italian

The quality of food at Amici is excellent and difficult to fault. Steaks cooked to perfection with quite delicious sauces. We live locally and eat frequently at Amici. We had a meal last evening which can only be described as outstanding. If one were to find fault it is quite small, tables are therefore quite closely laid out and a quiet evening out is not always guaranteed !!! Our first choice locally .

Wild mushroom Rissoto is the best I have ever tasted . Brilliant food was had by all.

Took my daughter for a dinner to Amici. This is hers exact words: So fancy but still very cosy. And shes not wrong. Atmosphere, interior and staff absolutely on top. Some big London restaurants lacking this sort of service that Amici provides you. Now to main subject - food. We have tried Spaghetti and meatballs, Pizza Margherita and Tiramisu. Chef him self kindly told us that its his Moms recipe and that he grow up enjoying this lovely food him self. And now he shares it with his customers. Food was superb. Definitely coming back to try out remaining menu.

Just returned from another fantastic meal at Amichi .Luckily for us we are local so can pop in whenever we want a delicious meal with wonderful,helpful,attentive staff.

Excellent welcome attentive service.Food was delicious. Can recommend the Tiramisu. Atmosphere was amazing and buzzy. Will come again.

Fantastic Italian food, everything spot on. Sort of food that brings joy to the soul. Had the Chef come out to ask how everything was which made it extra special! Very pleasant experience. Would come back again!

Excellent,service.excellent food.What else do you want.See and go for yourself.

A restaurant we always visit when we are on holiday in Lincolnshire from our home country of North Wales

Well worth the visit. I took star of because of tiramisu - it seems that it worsened slightly. Its too sweet, and cream is not fluffy as it used to be and as should be. It was beautiful earlier. However, everything else is perfect and we will be back soon

The food in this restaurant is so good up with the best Italian food you have ever tasted.

Lovely Italian restaurant where the service matches the food. Young people serving but well trained and efficient, the food was excellent too. A little bit rowdy at times due to a couple of parties in, but thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless - recommended!

Good restaurant. Busy on a Wednesday evening. Good food and service. Like all Italian restaurants slightly too much money for what you get.

Simply stunning food. I've eaten Italian food all over the world and can confidently say this is one of the best there is.

Having eaten at very many Italian restaurants I can say that the food here is some of the best I’ve ever eaten. Generous portions, delicious and beautifully prepared. Absolutely fantastic food and excellent service.

Great food. Lovely friendly staff. Would recommend x

Wish we’d discovered this before. Best meal in Spalding in ten years. Mum from Quadring didn’t even know about it. Visiting Mum from Surrey and we wanted to take her for a nice meal out before leaving her. What a find! Every course was delicious and our 9 year old loved every part of her children’s menu, halloumi fries, spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce and chocolate gelato. My mum was overjoyed with her pork belly main. Very attentive and nice staff. It was a Wednesday and every table was full. We thought going at 630 it would be pretty quiet. How wrong we were ! Loved it and we will def return. Just wish we had found it sooner! Gracie Amici

I can’t remember how many years we have been coming here, for anniversaries, birthdays, and staycation meals and the like… they have never let us down. We drive from Peterborough and it is worth it every single time. I always book online since Covid and find that really reliable. Last night was no different, fantastic tasty food, well presented and really good portion sizes. Quite often we don’t have room for dessert, but when we do they are lovely too. We are pescatarian and get plenty of seafood choice here, and I appreciate the vegetarian menu. Had calamari, a mushroom dish and the gamberoni last night, just fab. As designated driver I like the elderflower sherbert.

We visited recently for a family meal (6 people), and as always we had a wonderful experience at Amici. The restaurant was busy which added to the atmosphere, however despite being busy the service remained excellent, with attentive and friendly waiting staff making sure orders were taken quickly and we had drinks throughout the evening. The food, well what can I say, every time we visit I think it can’t get better, yet it does! I opted for King prawns for starter which were beautiful and so fresh, followed by lasagne which was possibly the best I’ve ever had…just divine! I finished my meal with the choux pastry balls which never fail to impress me. All 6 of us had truly amazing food! I love that Ivan (chef) comes to speak with customers after his cooking is finished for the evening, a true people person! Ivan, Yvonne and their team should be very proud of themselves. We will be back soon! 😍

Popped over to have a meal tonight at the restaurant, it was still open and the waitress directed me at my table, but whilst I was seating down, another woman in her mid-20's came from nowhere and abandoned said in broken english..'sorry, sorry kitcheb is closed...' what a cowboy behaviour one ponders...i mean...I owed and run a few restaurants before I retired and I never remember disappointing anyone who me or my staff invited them to take a seat...🤬..awful!

Have been here a number of times and the food is good. This time we thought we’d try the tiramisu for dessert and what a let down. It’s clearly from frozen. The sponge was watery and couldn’t taste any alcohol only water. I’ve only ever eaten freshly prepared tiramisu so could really notice the difference. The rest of the meal was lovely, although bread with your starters would be a nice touch just like they do in Italy.

Very good food, good service, and was busy midweek which is a good sign! Enjoyed eating here, relaxed atmosphere.

We had a lovely meal on our first time there, we will be going back

Been recommended this restaurant by friends and it didn’t disappoint. Came with my partner and had a great date night. The restaurant has a lovely Italian feel and great atmosphere. The service was very good and friendly. The food was gorgeous. So tasty in every mouthful. Will definitely be back and recommend to all our friends. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Food is always excellent, freshly cooked, flavourful. Service is good, cannot fault it in any way. I am vegan, husband is meat eater. Suits us both, and this is what brings us back. Not many independent restaurants offer such good choice for different dietary needs. Even vegan dessert options! Always recommend this place and will keep coming back.

Brilliant food, very good service. Best Italian restaurant we have been to for a very long time. Our new go to.

Excellent food and table service and the chef even came out to every table to ask if we enjoyed our food.Will certainly be going back again.

Oh dear. We read reviews & thought, 'Yes' lets eat here. My, very firm, advice would be DON'T.. Service, excellent, if a little in awe of the 'matriach'. The food ? Spectacularly uninterseting. We hoped for, according to the menu, great, tasty food. We got. .just awful, no taste, no nothing whatsoever. I think mostly frozen/ packet/ cook chill. Just awful in my opinion.

Very impressed with the quality of the food and service. Friendly staff and quiet atmosphere with pleasant dining room.

I have eaten here many times and it is consistently good. Today was even better. A fabulous meal, a good atmosphere with excellent food and drink.

While visiting my Dad in Peterborough we went to Spalding to watch the Morris dancers and decided to eat out. We looked online and found the Amici Restaurant. The service was amazing as was the food. We would highly recommend this restaurant. Even the chef came out , visiting each tablet to see if customers were happy. The portions were plentiful and delicious and not expensive. All staff were polite. Overall a lovely dining experience.

This is the Restaurant to go for that special meal first class xxx

Have not been for a while due to family commitments. Always considered Amicis as one of the best Italian restaurants in the area and I believe still is. Service was helpful,prompt,polite and respectful and the food was out of this world tasty. Quantity was perfect so you don't over indulge leaving you painfully full after. The chef came round towards the end of the evening and spoke to everyone in the restaurant asking their opinion and how their evening was in the restaurant which I think is a great personal touch. All through the evening it was relaxed and we had a fantastic evening. Thank you to everyone at Amicis. See you again soon.

The food was absolutely amazing and the staff were very polite and helpful. The Chef came out to speak to us which we thought was going the extra mile and the experience as a whole didn't disappoint. The only issue we had was the volume in the restaurant, it was a bit too loud.

I've eaten in some of the best restaurants in the world including The Dorchester London (Michelin Star), World Trade Centre (Windows of the world), The 12 apostles Cape Town and The Waldorf New York to name a few. This is a truly lovely place to go. Food was fresh and the service was kind and friendly. The Chef comes to each table for a chat which was really appreciated. Like Arnie says... I'll be back.

I had the goats cheese and Saffron prawn pasta. I had the Cosmo with elderflower which was just lovely and a glass of the house wine. The service was impeccable, all the staff lovely. Thank you for an enjoyable evening 😊

Last minute arrival Was made very welcome and a table found. Everything was perfect

Really enjoyed the food was brilliant staff was friendly the course between was the right time no issues will come back again

Amazing restaurant. Top service top atmosphere, there was something on te menu to please most people even vey fussy eaters. great quality and decent portions. 10/10 guys well deserved

Love the food at Amici! We come from London and always look forward to dining here. The food is second to none and is of great quality! There is an incredible selection of vegan dishes and the vegan gnocchi is to die for! The service is always so lovely and Chef Ivan is such a talented chef! 5 stars to both the food and service.

The food was nice atmosphere was decent service was quite good but it took around an hour for our food to come out to be fair there was 8 of us but we saw families of 4 getting served in like 5 minutes overall pretty good

I visited Amicis yesterday with friends highly recommended going here to eat. The staff were very friendly and attentive ,great atmosphere and lots of food choice to suit everyone's palate. The food was very well presented tasted amazing and good portion size. The food was piping hot and despite the restaurant being full we didn't wait long for our main meal or dessert.

Top notch restaurant, having lived in Italy for six years this was more than comparable with 5star Italian equivalent. Service was very attentive and food quality and presentation was great, price wise we were surprised and more than happy, Went home well satisfied. Thank you all at Amici.

Fantastic all around experience - as always seems to be the case here. Arrived rather early for our reservation, but we're made to feel very welcome and totally accommodated. The restaurant was packed (in a good way!) But service never slipped - always attentive and friendly, never rushed. Food was absolutely superb - the Lobster Ravioli a real highlight especially! The desert also featured possibly the largest slice of tiramisu I've ever seen. And all, in my opinion at an incredibly reasonable price. Can't wait to be back!

Had a lovely meal here last night for my birthday. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Will definitely be returning.

I ordered the festi de carni pizza and it was one of the best pizza I have ever hand. It was cooked to perfection. Definitely one of the best Italians restaurants ever.

This place is an absolute Gem! food is fantastic authentic Italian food. Family run with a great atmosphere every night. The fact that the place is booked pretty much every night says it all . Try the Ragu or the pizza - I guarantee you will come back ! Fantastic!

Wow, what a fantastic meal. We decided to go to Amici's in Spalding for my girlfriend's birthday and it was worth the journey from Peterborough. The staff were awesome and extremely accommodating. There were quite a few of us with differing dietary requirements but the menu is excellent, there is a great choice of food and we all ate different dishes. The feedback from everyone on the table was excellent and it was great to experience authentic Italian food. One girl even said that the pizza was better than the one they had in Italy as they had just come back from her holiday. The guys who never ate at Amici before said that they wanted to book again. The bill was very reasonable when we had starters, mains and a few desserts (not to mention 3 bottles of prosecco!). It was evident that the ingredients were of high quality and it is great to see a family run restaurant make such a great effort for us in everything that they did considering how hard it must be for restaurants today. Thank you for a really great evening, excellent food of the highest quality and please thank all your staff for the super service. Hope to see you again soon.

Over £90 for two starters and mains and two drinks each is steep, and pink Barefoot wine priced at over £20 a bottle is a rip off. Cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and roast potatoes on the Pollo Funghi all just a bit weird. For a nicer Italian, get a taxi to Bourne and it’ll not cost much more than this did overall.

Pleasant restaurant and service. However, the food was low quality and tasteless. Had the butterfly chicken, with a strange combination of side vegetables. The worst part was a greasy strange coloured sauce, it was awful. We also had a Pizza, this was as far away from an authentic Italian Pizza I have ever seen. Loaded with cheese, horrible tasting pepperoni and on a base like cupboard. Will never be returning!

Fantastic food,the place was full,but still the service was excellent. If you want somewhere to eat in Spalding this is the place.Thankyou for a lovely evening.

I have been several times with my family. Superb food and service every time. Highly recommend! Thank you

The food at Amici is excellent, but what sets it apart is the service. Honestly some of the best service I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Will definitely be back.

6 of us visited for a birthday celebration & we are so glad we chose to come to Amici’s. The service was very good - very attentive team & the food was absolutely excellent ☺️ Special mention for the spaghetti with prawns in the saffron sauce - outstanding! Thank you to you all.

5* service, food and restaurant. Went for my Mum’s 50th Birthday as a group of 7 and we couldn’t fault anything with our experience. The staff went above and beyond to make it a special evening for Mum, even playing George Michael (her favourite singer) for us as we walked into the restaurant. Thank you to Ivan and the team for making my Mum’s 50th birthday meal special and one to remember!

One of the very few authentic Italian restaurants in this part of UK. Came to Spalding on a business trip and my team ended up dining here consecutively for 3-4 days.

Took my mum to Amici for her birthday last weekend and had a fantastic meal. Service was brilliant. Only disappointment was the barolo wasn't available. Highly recommend

Me second trip to Amici and I have been desperate to get back to make sure the food really is as fabulous as I remembered. And guess what, it absolutely is!! Genuinely authentic Italian food cooked with care by a really passionate team. Went with my partner, Mum and son. We shared starters so we’re brought extra side plates and shared desserts so we’re brought extra spoons - all made so easy (and the portions are so generous that sharing makes sense). My main was from the Specials board - pasta with sausage, pancetta and broccoli rabe. Really savoury and delicious. This is going to be on the new permanent menu we were told and it should be. We also had a risotto, melanzane, and pasta with meatballs. Familiar dishes but nothing like the bland food of high street chains. We were at a corner table but were not forgotten - well looked after by attentive staff. I really love this place and highly recommend it.

First time I’ve been to Amici and I loved it. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Ivone is a lovely hostess and made us feel really welcomed. Food was delicious, kids loved it. It felt like being in Italy for a couple of hours. Will be definitely coming back.

possibly the best meal I've eaten in some time. I had the prawn gamberoni and the short rib special.....no disappointment whatsoever. Service was fantastic - exactly the right amount of attention. And the food came out perfect intervals AND was very good. See you again soon!

Not the first time we have been, and there's a reason for that! Extremely consistent food of a very high standard, very attentive and friendly staff, and fair prices. Can't really ask for more than that. On this occasion, a very special thank you to Ivan for fitting us in at late notice, as it was a last minute request from my Son who loves it here and with whom I don't often get to go out with - we had a brilliant evening. Note to everyone though - book in advance!

It's not the biggest restaurant you will ever visit but because of this, it could well be the better restaurant... The food was amazing, and the environment was cosy, making you feel doted upon by the staff who had the perfect amount of attentiveness. If you are looking for top-quality food, great service and an awesome environment for a easy win date night, then Amici's it is!

Our visit was- Excellent quality of food. Exceptional service and good understanding of consumer needs. Lovely to see a dressed table with tablecloths. A rarity! Gives a special touch to the whole Experiance Great team work from staff Lovely ambience Will visit again soon with our family and friends 🌸

Our group was catered for well. Food was delicious. Only criticism was pork belly was dry and slightly overcooked. The cannoli, although delicious, was very hard and difficult to eat with a spoon. One member tried to cut into it and went a piece of it flying off the table. Otherwise everything was very nice. Service was good and attentive.

The food was amazing, especially the pizzas they do there. Prosciutto is also lovely. The service was quick and polite, how it should be, and the place was clean, smelled nice, and looked nice. This is how restaurants should be.

Food is amazing but a bit pricey

Super friendly, cozy Italian! Chef REALLY CARES about how much you enjoy your meal!

Food was unreal. Busy atomosphere which is great for drinks with friends/date night. Waitress/waiter staff very fast with collecting empty glasses/finished food! Asking if we needed anything else, very attentive. Will be back 🇮🇹🍝

A restaurant with a beautiful, warm atmosphere, very kind staff, good food.

Everything in regards to this restaurant is amazing. For starters, you can park beside it and depending on the hour you don’t need to pay for it. The menu is outstanding, it offers a wide range of options and they are happy to accommodate any personal request. Quality of the food is top notch, authentic Italian, however we’ve only been once so looking forward to try other options too. Staff was really polite and very accommodating. Now, it’s a bit more costly than the average place but only because it’s not an average quality of food, in other words, you get what you pay for, essentially.

We all had a wonderful meal and even though the restaurant was busy the attention and service that we required was really first class. I can thoroughly recommend the seafood spaghetti (sorry can’t recall the Italian !) A truly enjoyable evening with a great atmosphere, we will certainly be returning!!!!

Amici never disappoints. It’s our favourite restaurant and we always try to visit on my wife’s birthday which we did. The food service and ambiance second to none. Three courses plus extras in an hour and a half on a Saturday night and the chef coming into the dining room at the end of the service to speak to diners the final treat. Bravo to the Amici family you’ve excelled yourselves again.

My wife and I had dinner at Amici’s this evening to celebrate an anniversary. We chose Amici for the full vegan menu and we weren’t disappointed. The food was amazing, the service was top class and it was very reasonably priced. Such a pleasant surprise to find such an excellent restaurant packed full on a Saturday night. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you so much.

The food was incredible and the service was so speedy and friendly as well! The atmosphere was lovely and would recommend to anyone wanting to have a good family meal!

The food was fantastic, fresh and delicious . Staff very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this for any occassion

Excellent food and attentive staff. Great menu, good wine. Nice atmosphere. I highly recommend Amici for any special occasion.

Always a pleasure to write a review for this restaurant. The food is amazing Ivan and his kitchen team are fantastic chefs. I would highly recommend the mussels to start and then the Steak which as always is cooked to perfection. The front of house team also do an amazing job and are very attentive and making sure your glasses are always full. You must make sure you book well in advance as this place is always full.

The food was incredible and the service was so speedy and friendly as well! The atmosphere was lovely and would recommend to anyone wanting to have a good family meal!

Wonderful staff and food. Highly recommend

We have been eating here since it opened many years ago. The food and service was excellent as usual. The pasta dish was the best ever and the afragato is my favourite dessert. Thoroughly recommend anyone to dine here for an authentic Italian experience.

We are at there tonight. We thought it was Really good food. Also the service was great. Chef came out to check if we were happy which was nice. Slightly chilly in there but is was cold outside. We will be back again definitely. !!!!!!

Just the best Italian for miles ..we have been going for years and they never disappoint.. the food is perfect the service attentive where else does the owner and chef come out to ensure you've enjoyed their hospitality.. family run. Family owned. Perfect

The staff the food the service were all excellent I couldn’t fault it in anyway and will definitely be going back and would recommend the restaurant to anyone. We all enjoyed every morsel very happy customers.

Absolutely superb, service fab, food outstanding and good portion sizes. Thanks for a lovely meal from the table with the bikers ;)

This was our first rendezvous with Amici and a very pleasant one! I had been told by a barber I normally do my hair ( he regularly travels to Italy) that Amici serves real Italian food, after having a meal I can believe him in full. Service, room, decorations, lights, atmosphere and finally staff at the Top level. I don't think there will be a single person who could complain about anything really.
