Amici Ristorante Portstewart in Coleraine

Excellent food, waiting staff friendly and attentive,no wait for bill ,great job

Great Food! I loved this place! There is a free car park with great views right by the ocean. The welcome was warm and we were seated right away! We had one starter, 5 mains and two desserts and it was around £125 including a drink each. The vegetarian options are clearly labelled and I had the pasta , which was a big portion and very delicious. I would definitely go again.

Fabulous food and reasonably priced.

Really enjoyed my lunch here, best garlic fries I've eaten, my steak was cooked to perfection also had the keylime pie for dessert

Great food.. friendly staff.. well priced.

Best place to eat in portstewart.

The Risotto was delicious creamy and flavoursome. The prawn kebab, on the other hand, was overcooked and like rubber

Awesome place to have some food after visiting Giant's Causeway. If you're lucky, sitting by the windows and enjoying the view is an absolute pleasure!

The food was amazing, the service was fabulous... cocktails very nice and great Atmosphere. Will def return!

Food and service very good, would highly recommend a visit, better to book in advance as it's a busy place, not hard to see why.

After having lived in Italy for four years we would give this a go. Pleasantly surprised and we will come again. Thank you.

Always a great atmosphere and I’ve never had a poor meal. I cannot work out how they can do it for such a reasonable price. Only problem is trying to get a table.

Best food, good prices, lovely friendly polite and helpful staff. 5star.

All good maybe a bit to crowded for my liking...

Amici's is an unassuming restaurant that is worth a visit, just to experience the ambience & quality of the food It's fabulous

This was my third time visiting Amici. We went for my granddaughters 4th birthday. We had a range of different food. Pasta pizza and rib eye steak. I had the steak and it was one of the best I’ve had. They’re flame grilled and cooked to perfection. The hot brownie with ice cream was also perfect. They brought a sparkler in my granddaughters ice cream and everyone sang happy birthday to her. She loved in. It was a Wednesday night and there wasn’t a seat to be had. Says a lot for the restaurant. The service was also amazing. Our server was called Jess and she was just lovely.

Have driven past Amici so many times during our visits. Tonight we decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. It was really busy for a Tuesday night and we hadn't booked but the front of house staff managed to find us a table, providing they could have the table back in 90 minutes time, which suited us. We enjoyed the chicken skewers on a bed of Caesar salad, which was just delicious. Our waitress (Mitzi) was fabulous, really helpful and friendly. Overall, a great restaurant in a great location and we'll definitely be back on our next visit!

Great experience and wonderful dining on our holiday The staff with very friendly and accommodating of our two young children (under 3), the best service we’ve had in a while. The food was tasty and well presented, with a strong menu. Well done Amici 👏.

Menu. Food, service etc etc etc cannot be faulted. Don’t miss this place if you’re in the area. We dined here 2 out of three evening it was so good.

People that want your business, table for 2, yes please follow me, fab food, prompt service will go again when I am in area, really enjoyable experience

Great atmosphere matched with great food.

Brilliant restaurant, delicious food.

An absolute recommendation! I ate here 5 times during my vacation and was thrilled each time by the absolutely nice and professional service - without any affectation! The food was also always delicious, and at very fair prices - and then there was the great view from there!

Had the lobster pasta special and it's the best thing I have eaten in a long long time.

Super food, friendly staff and nice views of the golf course and sea.

Was there for the last two nights with a group of friends. Everything was good and we were well looked after by everyone. Food excellent. Will come back again.

Normally excellent food but this time it was shocking! And the staff were not bothered as they dont need to try anymore!..Tried to address with management who were nowhere to be seen. Have emailed twice and the silence is deafening. Every establishment can have an off day but to simply ignore customers in the hope they'll go away is poor. We are frequent patrons but we will not return on the basis that they did not respond and we can only assume they are purposely ignoring our poor experience. Unfortunately word of mouth travels.

Amici was recommended by a relative, and we needed to book in early September. It's in a spectacular spot overlooking the sea, though we were seated on the landward side. I was told on booking that we could only stay for a specific time so they could accommodate others. Not a good vibe. Service was a little hit-and-miss at first. Our food was good. My wife had the fish with ravioli, and I had the pork fillet. Mine was a huge serving! We'd have liked some vegetables with the main course, even if only a garnish. Amici has it's own car park, and a nice patio for outside dining.

Awesome..... This place is top notch. The staff are amazing, the views outside are amazing especially when the sun sets. The food is amazing. It not just an Italian restaurant, they have other options like steaks and always hit the right doneness.

Booked last minute today for 3pm. 4 adults 2 children and a baby, ( bonus we got the window seat facing the sea- watched the air show CoastGuard help) Jack was amazing, very tentative and very friendly. Food amazing as usual, lobster special was something else. Beef pasta special and two cod dishes also amazing. Kids meals great size and staff and kitchen very accommodating bringing our kids with the starters. Can never fault amici. Will be back again soon I hope!

I liked the restaurant, the service was friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty and the drinks were okay too. The beer was particularly good, the cocktail, well. The price is a bit higher, but quite acceptable. You can easily get there on foot or by car. There is enough parking space. The toilets are extremely clean and overall I had a good experience.

Had dinner here food beautiful. Excellent service and atmosphere 😊. Shall return again.

Totally amazing staff are brilliant the atmosphere is great and the food is top class I would recommend this restaurant highly a place everyone should visit

Absolutely DELICIOUS! It really couldn't have been better. The whole experience was superb. We will recommend this place to our friends.

Just brilliant. Thankyou and Oran who looked after.me.

Really good food 😋 and great service 👌

Kindness, quality and a very nice place

Unreal food some of the best if not the best.

Lovely lunch, something for everyone, with simple to luxurious foods and good for the kids 😊

Booked a week in advance, text received asking for confirmation 15 minutes before arrival stating table would be cancelled if not confirmed (why would I book if I wasn't going to go?) Pleasant starters arrived and were enjoyed, then a horrendous 1 hr wait ( before asking what the delay was ) are main course arrived, everyone's meal was fine but my meal which was the Cod had obviously been sitting under a heat lamp and the sauce had started to congeal and the fish had dried out. I appreciate that this place is busy but concentrate on serving your customers quickly and not having to be asked where is my food.

Excellent as usual great food grest atmosphere and great service.

Great service and food was great. The staff was really nice . Fillet steak is highly recommended .

The food here is expensive for a bang average Italian serving easy made starters, pasta, pizza and grill dishes. The size of menu should be your first warning sign. The prices are on a par with, and exceed, those I've paid in London - where they guarantee better quality and service. This should be your second warning sign. Tables are offered with a fixed 2 hour time slot, continuing the theme this should be your third warning sign. Amici deliver a fast food experience - you will be rushed out onto the 'terrazo' with a cable running through a puddle; even if you're still eating your food, and the charming staff will be making rude hand gestures to each other to indicate their displeasure that you're still there. The kitchen is unable to make more than 6 meals at a time. As a party seated at 2 tables one table was served their food a solid 10 minutes earlier than the other. Never again.

Excellent. Sublime dining experience.

Great meal at this lovely restaurant. View breathtaking. Would definitely recommend it.

Given 2 hours for a table of 15. This is an acceptable timeframe if the service had not taken 15 mins to take our drink order and then taken 30 mins to take our food order. Barely finished our main course when pushing us to get our desserts. Then made us move outside to the cold, wet veranda to finish the desserts. They cleared the table round our children and forced us out. Never offered tea or coffee. Service very slow, ineffective, inefficient and quite rude as we watched a member of the serving team making rude gestures towards our tables about making us move. The mature thing to do would have been to ask us to move rather than passive aggressively push us off the table.

I went as the only vegan in a party of 4 and was pleasantly surprised at the size and the tastiness of my risotto. My friends also enjoyed their seafood courses. Service incredible, views perfect and bill crazy cheap! Will definitely revisit - much better food and value than anywhere in Portrush m

Visited on 8th August. Party of 10.Top notch food and great vibe. The lady looking after us (Joanne) was 1st class on her customer service and rapport. Unfortunately the big let down was the rude bedside manner of the Floor Manager (Alan) who when delivering our orders to the table was abrupt, told us to ssshhush and be quiet when asking who ordered which meal. No excuses for this behaviour...unprofessional and could have been handled so differently. 😔

We enjoyed a family dinner here on Friday night. Our first time here. There were 6 adults, 3 children and 1 infant. Everyone of us enjoyed our meals and staff were very pleasant and helpful. We booked for 5.15pm, the restaurant was very busy. Obviously a peak time for families. We did have to wait some time on our food, but I guess that was to be expected, with it being fully booked. We thoroughly enjoyed our food, great choice of menu for both adults and children. Not overpriced either, in our opinion. We will definitely be returning here. Many thanks indeed.

Great food and service (risotto and tagliatelle Bolognesse and starter garlic bread (pizza)

Lovely food and Friendly staff.

Food late, we ordered 7 meals only got six food was substandard

Been a few times now and the steak is to die for.. full off flavour, seating etc was hard like an old school desk chair and a bit uncomfortable but would defo go again for the steak

Absolutely wonderful meal here. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly.

Great food at great location ... a must visit

We had a fantastic night. The four of us ordered different starters & mains and shared two desserts. We enjoyed everything and even the 50 mins walk home in torrential rain as there were no taxis couldn't spoil our night.

Lovely restaurant with good selection of food. We managed to get a booking during NW200 week. Best to book in advance

1st time visit, but wont be the last, Staff, ambiance, food, second to none.

Great place of a meal, brillant Italian food......setting on Old Golf Course is lovely

Average food, great staff though.

Great food and service at a reasonable price. If you get a window table the views are great over the golf course and out over the bay. If you want to eat between 18:00 and 20:00 book early.

Brilliant Italian restaurant Superb food and first class service make this a "must eat here" destination.

I can see why so many people come here. Great food, incredible service.

Delicious food, amazing view and lovely staff

Beautiful meal chosen from an extensive menu. Desserts were absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back!!

Excellent restaurant. Staff were really helpful and courteous. Food was perfect and plenty of it. Great choice of drinks and wines. Very enjoyable evening. Very reasonable prices also.

Great little place for family dining. Parking at the rear with a view of the golf course. We visited twice on our stay in Port Stewart. The first visit felt much different to the second, we had a very friendly welcome and great service. The second time there was no rapport with the girl looking after our table and the service was very slow. The food was very good the first time round, the second time I took a chance on the pasta special, it wasn't very tasty. Despite the second time not being as good as the first I would give this restaurant another chance. It's worth a visit to see for yourself.

The food was as usual outstanding the service top drawer but it was soo packed my wife and could hardly hear each other

Many of the menu items specify that there is cheese of some description in the dish. However, the meatballs do not. Nowhere on the menu does it state that there is cheese, but the waitresses confessed the mince is made with parmesan. Very dismissive and made to feel like it was our fault. Not ideal for anyone that has a lactose intolerance.

Great food and fantastic views in a friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Only giving a decent review on food as my boyfriend enjoyed it. Menu outlines ingredients included - I picked a meal (I don’t eat cheese) and it came with cheese which wasn’t mentioned - the staff made me feel about 2 inches tall - paid and left - can’t say much more - boyfriend enjoyed his meal - service and manager on shift made me feel like I was in the wrong - if you can outline the risotto as including Parmesan shavings and most other menu items - you can do the same for the pasta - it’s not difficult! Be nicer to customers - the accusatory tone I received was unwelcome and the night could have been saved by better service.

We really enjoyed our food and the service (Emma) was magnificent. We will definitely come here again if we ever make it back to this area.

Fantastic experience here, but it is extremely popular. Food is excellent, although the service whilst swift is efficient. Be aware that is a 2 hour limit on the table

Booked for hubby's birthday. Food was lovely. Staff friendly and welcoming.

After hearing everyone going on about this place we decided to give it a go. Staff really friendly and welcoming, great setting on a sunny evening. Had chilli salted prawns for starter. Was over cooked but wasn't the worst iv ever eaten. Main was stake on pasta with truffle cream and mushroom sauce. The flavour in the sauce was beautiful but the pasta was under cooked, but was still enjoyable. Would I go back again? Yes..

Special Birthday lunch. Couldn't fault anything! Felt so welcome as usual x

Amazing food, service & attention to detail. Gorgeous views of the North Sea. Would highly recommend a visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic meal on Sunday evening 02/06/24. Five Star service. Five Star atmosphere. Love this restaurant.

Risotto needed a bit more flavor,but enjoyable visit

Dinner for 2, busy Monday evening with lovely panoramic sea view as the sun set. We both had the cod special with mushroom ravioli and creamy sauce. Shared asparagus and a chocolate cheesecake desert. Cod was fine, slightly overcooked. Pasta didn't taste fresh, dry filling with no real umami kick to a mushroom based dish. Sauce was tasty and made the whole thing slightly more flavourful + moist. Overall underwhelming for £23 per head. Asparagus side was grilled without oil, served unseasoned. £6 for 8 small pieces. Laughably overpriced and under-portioned. Really felt like a rip off. Cheesecake was rich, salty and sweet and probably the best part of the meal. Portioned generously and enough for 2. Served with cream and a chocolate based sauce. Biscuit base could've done with a bit more crunch and depth. Service, which seems to be the selling point of this restaurant was distinctly average. The staff were friendly but didn't interact with us beyond dropping the food off and grabbing the plates. Nobody asked if things were okay with the meal. Lengthy wait for the bill to arrive and then advised to go to the main desk to pay despite 3 service staff sat around not actually serving anyone. Overall impression of Amici: food well below the standard required to be charging £30 / head, service was fine but didn't feel above the minimum standard, lovely location and decor - cosy + scenic spot. Overall 6/10, largely for the average food + memorably overpriced vegetables.

Really nice food staff 1st class great ocean views, will call back again

Please stop substituting pesto for basil and olive oil...had this happen at another Italian restaurant in Ireland. You are so close to Italy. You should consider consulting an Italian on how to prepare their food properly. Also, get some ripe tomatoes (again, happened at another restaurant in Ireland).

Beautiful food, very busy restaurant,staff very helpful and efficient,on a busy weekend you need to book , would highly recommend this restaurant

Incredible reception, unparalleled menu and wonderful service!

Great atmosphere, Great food and very helpful staff , Nothing was a hassle !

Great experience- food was of a high standard and reasonably priced -service was good too - would recommend to anyone looking for nice meal

Terrific food and friendly staff

Had a super meal here, nice pizza and my daughter got very tasty pasta dish. And a couple of very tasty Italian beers for reasonable money, what's not to like .

If you like Italian cuisine, I really recommend it.

wonderful food in a nice atmosphere and friendly service! Nothing more is needed!

Atmosphere, buzz, great staff and food. A really enjoyable dinner Thanks

Bustling place with a view of the sea. Fine dining.

Normally I don't do reviews but I'm flabbergasted! Was her 3/5 spent £107 and £5 tip. Had booked for 4/5 as this would be our go to restaurant up in Porstewart, we usually stay up her 4 times a year. Tried to ring 3 times, no answer at 6.40 to advise my husband had taken unwell. Send cancellation email at 6.45. Woke this morning to see they had taken £20 from my bank account. I complained and told them the story, they emailed me back, sorry we were too busy to answer phone or read emails but yes email was sent(obviously not too busy to take the £20)! They will refund the mone in 5-10 days. Quick to take it slow to pay it back. Just sent another email call in for the £20 they are not comfortable posting it recorded delivery signed for (would cost them you see)! I had to go home this morning to bekfast as husband is not well with flu! If they ask you to book electronically rhey should manage the electronic system! Anyway lesson learned, if if you cancel they won't see it but they'll hold onto the money for a few days, in the cost of living crisis when this could mean to some eating or heating!

First time at Amici and loved it. Beautiful food with great service. Lovely drinks too and the atmosphere was buzzing. Looking forward to going back soon.

Always love Amici. It's why you have to book nearly 4 weeks in advance to get an evening booking on a Saturday. Great atmosphere, great location and great service as always. If you like your pasta, this is the place to be. Food is top drawer. Always get pasta. Portion size was larger than usual this time. Hopefully they keep it that way.

Favourite restaurant on the north west coast of Northern Ireland. Consistently excellent food. For starters I usually get the pil pil or the wings - both delicious. Usually go for the same things for mains to be fair, their pizza selection is superb and never disappoints, as well as a good variety of steak options. Atmo could lose a star only as it can be quite loud with the low roof, others won't mind and will see it as a good buzz that it offers. There are excellent views of the ocean, as well as of the near by golf course. Perfect for romantic nights out, but also ideal for big family meals too. Staff are friendly and non-intrusive. Really can't fault the place - it's first class :-)

4 of us decided to visit Amichi for lunch. Of the 4 different lunches we had one that was just about acceptable. The Burger was bone dry and had a texture like cardboard. No relish, just sad dried up burger, with leaves, a bap and a tiny dish of what resembled mayo. The salmon dish was similar, looked and tasted like yesterday’s leftovers. The accompanying asparagus was stone cold and the baby boiled potatoes were saturated with oil. The Chicken Caesar salad, again the chicken was dried up and looked like the sole of a gutty, just totally pathetic. Had they bothered to enquire how our meal was they would have been told. As we had guests with us we decided not to be confrontational, paid up, and left wiping our feet on the way out. For a “chef” to serve up food the like we were given was a total and utter disgrace. To top it all off a request was ignored. I’ll certainly not be rushing back any time soon.

Enjoyed a lovely meal with my family for my birthday. Despite a last minute phone call, the staff fitted us in with a table for 5. Food was good and was made extra special with ice cream (with accompanying sparkler) for a birthday dessert!

What a fabulous spot for lunch. Food was divine, view was incredible & the staff were perfect. Many thanks

Went here for dinner on a Saturday night, the service was excellent from start to finish, we had a lovely table with beautiful views, we didn’t have starters as we all have a sweet tooth, I opted for the trio steak sharing plater, this was awesome and more than enough for 2 people, we then had cookie dough cheesecake which was to die for, washed down by a few cocktails, definitely a place worth a visit if you are in Portrush/Portstewart area, although you may have to book well in advance, we will definitely be back soon.
