Amicis in Torbay

Popped here while on a break in Torquay - did not have to book and just strolled right in. Main dinner portions were a real good size - enough to fill you up for the night. Pudding really good as well and the standard shot of limoncello at the end. Cannot moan at the price at the end of the meal either. Family run business and the service was top notch.

We visited for dinner today to celebrate my 30th. We ordered 7 different dishes with each one being perfect! Portions were very generous and the waiter was very friendly. My only disappointment is that we do not live local as I would love to visit more often!!

Food was Excellent as always, went to amici for my birthday meal wih my family, was surprised with a dessert with staff singing happy birthday, felt really looked after by all the team!

Walked in, hadn't booked but very quickly seated into a very busy and nice atmosphere promt but not overwhelming service. Good peroni, massive portions of pasta 😋. Great value for money. Two very happy customers and will be back soon.

What a fabulous restaurant. We were a family of 16 adults spending the weekend in Torquay. We booked our table a while ago due to the size of our party. I emailed the restaurant a week before our visit with our choices for our main courses. On arrival we were greeted by a staff member. We were shown to our table within minutes. Despite the fact that there 16 of us the food was brought to us with such efficiency that we all were actual able to eat at the same time. Other restaurants I have been to have not managed to achieve this. All our meals were hot, tasty and of great quality. Massive credit to the kitchen staff . The bar and waiting staff were fabulously efficient and friendly. They couldn't do enough to help. Thankyou Amici

Amazing Italian food... We have visited Torquay and find this amazing restaurant and we have looked to eat fish dishes.

Great pizzas and pastas. But save room for desserts! Warning: Profiteroles are for sharing!!!!

We hadn’t been to Amicis for a very long time, but decided to give it a go for a family birthday meal. A great choice in the menu, with plenty of veggie options, and service was super speedy. The meals were lovely, but the portions defeated us! You definitely won’t leave hungry. Service was also top quality, all the staff were on it and really lovely. We will definitely be coming back, and recommending to anyone in the Torbay area!

Friendly and buzzing atmosphere, lovely smiling staff, delicious food and good prices. What else you need? If you’re in Torquay get in there… 😎

Great meal at Amici, food was delicious and good portion sizes. Good wine selection and lots of other options of mains and deserts on the special board. We will definitely visit again on our next visit to Torquay.

Another brilliant meal last night at Amici. Fantastic food, great service and lovely atmosphere All you really need for the perfect night out!

Delicious food,great customer service, and a lovely atmosphere.Highly recommended

Brilliant experience with Amicis tonight. We visited for my Mother in Laws 60th birthday. Prior to coming, their communication was prompt and clear. They knew it was for a birthday so decorated the table with banners which was really kind and lovely touch. Our waitress Jordanna was so accommodating and nothing was ever too much of an ask. A very warm and welcoming environment. And to top it off, the food was delicious! We will definitely visit again, as will our large group who were all happy with their experience! Thank you!

We LOVE this restaurant!! Are favourite restaurant in Torquay. The atmosphere is so nice and the food is amazing. Recommend going when you want something nice and delicious. The service is wonderful and the waiters even spoke a little bit Italian which made us feel very happy! Love love love this restaurant and will definitely be coming back

It was our first time eating here and what a lovely experience it was. Staff were very polite and efficient, plus the service was good. Food was top quality. We ordered the Duck and it was fabulous, we could not fault the dish. We would go as fare as to say, it was the best duck we'd ever tasted !! We decided to have desserts. These too were fabulous and beautifully presented. We had the Chocolate Cake and the Tiramasu. I've got to add that it was the best Tiramasu I've ever eaten, and my fella really enjoyed The chocolate fudge cake. We will definitely be returning and can't recommend this place enough. THANKS FOR A LOVELY MEAL AND GREAT SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE

Celebrated my grandma’s 80th birthday here and it was wonderful! They went above and beyond to make the experience special, we really appreciated it. The food was excellent! Will be back soon :)

Lovely Italian restaurant a short walk from the harbour.

What a great restaurant, great food and great service from all, especially Jose .... thanks all, a great evening

Food so good we came two days running

Lovely meal with family in honour of Angela, this was her favourite restaurant. The food was excellent, a bit slow on service, and needed more staff, but otherwise as good as ever. Revised this evening, Jan 2025, I was disappointed with my meal, the bruschetta was lacking in taste and the lasagne was all sauce and no meat, and bland, my salad came with no dressing, I had to ask for some. My husband enjoyed his meal (mushrooms to start and steak).

Absolutely fabulous meal at Amicis last night. The food was very good. Authentic and fresh. Our waiter Jose was very friendly, efficient and helpful. We will definitely return to this lovely restaurant.

Lovely place with great food and service at a very reasonable price. The waiting staff were very attentive and the carbonara was excellent.

Disappointed. Ordered a takeout. I told them not to rush (twice) while I had a beer at the bar but the pizza arrived before I had finished - and I was thirsty. The pizza was no way cooked enough, went cold quickly for not being cooked, was a bit of a mess and did not taste great (con carne pizza). The charming service and the beer could not have been better. Perhaps I will eat in next time because they were busy with a convivial crowd on a cold January evening Torquay. Summary: good service but rubbish pizza. Bar's way higher for pizza these days.

We have been here. A few times and come out tonight food was lovely, hot fresh tasty. We had a lovely waiter called Jose from Tenerife who was a great host and very friendly and professional. We will definitely come again. Zak

Disappointed. Ordered a takeout. I told them not to rush (twice) while I had a beer at the bar but the pizza arrived before I had finished - and I was thirsty. The pizza was no way cooked enough, went cold quickly for not being cooked, was a bit of a mess and did not taste great - chicken was very poor and cold out of a pack ("con carne" pizza). I don't think the toppings were baked with the pizza. Similar to lots of reviews The charming service and the beer could not have been better. Perhaps I will eat in next time because they were busy with a convivial crowd on a cold January night in Torquay. Key takeout: don't rush the takeouts and do it properly

Me and my partner went here for our anniversary the staff were lovely, the food was lovely as well and the service was efficient also really hard to find places where the staff don't constantly come and check how everything is it's something that annoys me and my partner but while at Amici's we didn't get asked this until after we'd finished eating. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous Food! Always a pleasure here at my favourite Italian Restaurant. Staff always so friendly. Food is exceptional and atmosphere relaxed. Thought about something different but couldn't resist the Chicken and Mushroom Risotto. Enjoyed a bellini too, delicious. Thank you!

Staff are really lovely, food is OK, service is like fast food... so quick! Finished starter and that was immediately swapped for the main. For parties etc, I would say fine, but for a date or family meal it's VERY loud. It was a relief to leave so we could talk and hear each other. The parties in there, looked to be having a great time. Maybe seat parties together and save the other section for smaller tables.

Excellent restaurant. Really superb food and friendly, helpful staff- cannot be faulted. 19 of us- pre-booked meals- everything was spot on. Highly recommend. If you like fish -try the Sea Bass with roasted Mediterranean vegetables.

Visited once again with a friend to enjoy a lovely meal. Staff were attentive yet again, with José being a stand out. He remembered me from last time which was a wonderful surprise, and just like last time he was quick and professional with his service. Food was as good as before and wait time was short. Thanks again for a great experience José!! :D

Really good food, very friendly, attentive service.

Not bad for a chain restaurant, a menu choice is limited. Quality is good

If your looking for an authentic wonderful Italian meal experience then this is the place to go, the food was outstanding, the atmosphere was amazing and the staff were so attentive and go above and beyond. We will definately be returning every time we visit torquay

We had a lovely meal for 4 here recently. Service was exceptional with patience, courtesy and professionalism. The food was fantastic and all 4 enjoyed our drinks, starters, main courses, desserts and coffees. The portion sizes are large so make sure you are hungry! Would fully recommend!

Unfortunately ruined our night by a large party of people. They were talking very loudly .

Lovely food and good service but we went on a Saturday evening which was very busy and so very loud. Also had quite a wait for our pre-booked table but overall a good experience and would definitely revisit, possibly when it's a little less busy!

Had a lovely meal at Amici's. Real authentic italian food, made just the way you like. The team are happy to accomodate for people personal tastes. The restaurant is clean and has a lovely ambience. This was our first time here but will definately come back when we visit Torquay again!

Fantastic meal every time. Have visited multiple times and always great. Good gluten free options. Size of dishes really big and very delicious Highly recommend!!

Bustling in the early evening, enjoyable fayre and attentive staff

Lovely food all round. The place was well presented. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Last Sunday night, I was there for dinner and had a gorgonzola hamburger. It was so delicious, tasty, and fresh—and authentically Italian! 😜 One of the staff offered me a limoncello, which I really appreciated. It made me happy. 🙏🏻 Highly recommended!

We had only booked our table that afternoon and I'm not sure how we actually got a table because it was heaving when we got there, it seemed very popular. The food was lovely and the prices were reasonable. There was plenty choice on the menu and the staff were friendly.

Came here twice on a trip away with my family. Excellent service, the waiter was fantastic with my son. Had a gorgeous lasagne and pizza. Very lovely setting, will return next time I’m in the area!

Went here for a later dinner with the Mrs and the atmospheres great, and can’t fault the service. We were served by Jose and his style of service is amazing, polite and was incredibly fast, would come again. We had the Prosciutto pizza and lasagna which were both quite nice and a great tiramisu for desert.

We had a two course meal for £85 with tip. We ordered the meat antipasto for two for a starter, which was very good but could have had more meats. Our mains were risotto a frutti de mare which was good. The other main was calamari fritti and prawns. Unfortunately, this wasn’t such a great dish. However, our Spanish waiter was amazing.

Very nice restaurant, booking is essential though

Lovely authentic Italian food with superb service, our only ever gripe is the overly loud music which is off-putting and unnecessary, please turn it down, low is best to give us a chance to talk and hear ourselves think, remember less is more, otherwise great

Very good pizzas, slightly on the pricier side, but worth it. Nice atmosphere and suitable for families.

Most enjoyable evening, will come again

First time experience of the place. Food outstanding. Staff very friendly and helpful. Even got one staff member to take a picture of me and my girlfriend which was no problem at all. Highly recommend 👌

Great food, very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere, would definitely come back!

Amazing experience. Both the food and the service was outstanding! Special mention to Phoebe who was extremely kind and professional. 10/10 recommend & definitely will be back in the future.

The food was delicious, especially the lasagne. The staff is very friendly, and the whole place has a great atmosphere. Phoebe deserves a raise 😊.

Lovely place, great food and amazing staff. Phoebe and the gentleman with glasses were super friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this place.

The service here is outstanding, Phoebe was so nice, friendly and helpful. The food was amazing, prices are reasonable, all the starters and mains were delicious so we decided to return after an hours walk to try the desserts as well. Definitely going to come back if we travel to Torquay again.

We had a really lovely time at the restaurant, atmosphere was incredible, Phoebe was welcoming and the food was 10/10.

Excellent service and delicious food 😊👍

Foods is all great, quite good quality All staff very good service and very friendly will be back again!

The best Italian restaurant in Torquay

Enjoyed the food. Service was a little slow but all staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend the Tomato and Avocado starter.

Food was good but I think we arrived during a shift change, so service wasn't what we have come to expect.

We came across this place by chance during our trip to Torquay, and we were so lucky there was a table available! The food is amazing! The moment you look at the waiters, they are right there, never keeping you waiting. They handle the busy atmosphere very professionally and with a smile. I highly recommend it in every way!

Excellent food and service. Best Italian I have had in a long time. Well recommended.

Amazing food, our server Jose was so accommodating the whole night.Such an enthusiastic worker, really enjoyed the evening. Definitely recommend, and will be going back.

Absolutely lovely restaurant, beautiful food and really lovely and friendly staff, can't rate it highly enough

Just back from a fabulous meal at Amici. Great choice of food and wine at reasonable prices. Our night made all the better by our waiter Jose. He really made us feel welcome and served us in the way we appreciate. Recommendations were appreciated and accepted to our delight. If you’re in the market for Italian food, look no further.

Bland food. Service is very poor. the waiter runs around aimlessly whilst forgetting to process orders. Resulting in long waits getting food and the same between courses. If you want good Italian food you would be better going to Prezzo than visit here. On a previous visit, we got a plastic ring from a bottle top in our Tiramassou. So, I guess we should not have revisited. They seem to have a monopoly for Italian food in Torquay as they run Bianco's restaurant, too. Go elsewhere if you want any decent quality, there are many other good restaurants nearby.

Unfortunately quite a disappointing experience. My husband ordered a Devon Rock - when it arrived it tasted and smelled like vinegar so that had to be sent back. I ordered a tango orange which also definitely wasn’t tango but was okay. Our mains arrived fairly swiftly and were generous portions - the food was average rather than great. I asked for two glasses of tap water which took over 20 minutes to arrive and had to be chased up twice. Dessert took 40 minutes to come, which in my opinion is an unacceptable wait - I also had to chase these twice before they arrived. We had to rush our desserts as our taxi was due to come. They did take the price of the cheapest pudding off the menu in the end but all in all it wasn’t a great experience and I certainly wouldn’t rush back!

Food delicious Crab ravioli recommend

Decent food. Choices a bit limited but well cooked. Busy and lively

Every time we come to Torquay on holiday, we always have dinner at Amici, it's our favourite restaurant there! The food is incredible, the portion sizes are huge and very reasonably priced. The staff are all fantastic, especially the lovely Jordanna. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Very disappointed to be told that the grill was broken and chicken and beef meals were not available. This was only pointed out after we had purchased drinks. If we had been told on entering we could have made a decision on staying or leaving. Feel as though the process was intentional.

Unable to get a take away. Told to leave a voicemail. Did that, after no contact for 30 minutes,went to the location. Told they were too busy for take away! No indication on website or messaging service.

Amazing food and absolutely outstanding service- Jose - as always- exceptional, superb starters, mains and especially deserts, highly recommended

First visit as on holiday but food was amazing so went twice in 5 days!. Definitely recommend, best food in a long time and staff lovely.

The Italian waitress whose name I didn’t catch was so welcoming, friendly and warm. She couldn’t have been more helpful and checking on us and our food and telling us about the local fish that is brought to them. The food was also great and loved the music.

Absolutely fantastic went in for a birthday with the family, staff were warm and friendly, food was amazing genuinely the best Italian that I've ever had, even the kids loved it, will defo go back

My wife and I called in for an early dinner without making a prior reservation. A table was quickly made available and we decided that we would omit starters and go straight to main course. My wife ordered lasagne which she said was very tasty and I opted for the seafood linguini which was absolutely delicious. We previously lived in Italy for 3 years and can say these meals were truly authentic. Highly recommended !

Great Atmosphere, usually busy with a good vibe. The food was excellent, service perfect - we always book here when we visit Torquay.

Always visit Amici when we come to Torquay. Wonderful, fresh, good quality Italian food. The mushroom Ravioli on the specials board was amazing (still thinking about it days later). Getting a bit pricey (though where isn't these days) but when on a break away from the norm, why not? The staff this time round were more attentive and friendly than previous visits. We will always come back in the future as we never leave disappointed.

Very nice Italian restaurant, staff were super friendly and the food was good. The restaurant atmosphere was great and very welcoming. The chicken in one of our meals was a little tough but not enough of an issue for us to complain about. All in all I would recommend this restaurant 👍

Fabulous Italian restaurant, food exceptional, freshly cooked, excellent drinks menu. Service excellent and efficient. Would highly recommend.

The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The service was impeccable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an Italian restaurant in Torquay.

Great service and food as always. Staff was very polite and friendly. Food is, as always, of a very high quality and very well prepared and presented. The atmosphere is always pleasant. I would definitely come back and recommend if you are around.

First time we have been there and will definitely return. They were very busy but didn't have to wait long and all our meals were presented nice and tasted wonderful. Would definitely recommend.

We came to Torquay for a few days and found this jewel of a place. The food is the best we have eaten, steaks were cooked to perfection, pasta dishes better than any we have eaten in Italy. The staff are amazing, we will definately drive 300 miles again, to enjoy this place again soon!!

We had our Diamond wedding Anniversary meal for the two of us table was perfect and decorated with a sash ,the food and wine and service beyond exalence .A really nice night HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 5 STAR

Food was lovely and the waiter was attentive, fantastic. Definitely recommended

Excelent service, good food and not more expansive

Got seated then ignored for 15 mins without even being given a menu, so walked out.

Terrible food - pasta, pizza and salad awful. Not fresh and lousy tasting.

Lovely food and service was lovely, we were stuffed

For long time I didn't get a good treatment like here. The food amazing,staff very friendly and efficient. Well done!!!!

Very very good as always, we only come here a couple of times a year. However, never fails to disappoint food is excellent, staff were brilliant and attentive they also cater really well for gluten free. We will see you next time we're down.

Lovely food and great service (Abbie)

Very nice food and good service would recommend

Came here for lunch 2 adults and 3 children, lovely chilled atmosphere and very accommodating. The food was lovely and there was too much to choose from!! Would highly recommend 🥰

Beautiful Italian restaurant in the town 👍....Must book a table to avoid disappointment.

As always excellent food, service & atmosphore. Love this place. Thank you Amici 🙏

We had dinner last night at Amici. Drinks and food orders were taken within 10 minutes of being seated. Drinks arrived promptly and food arrived not long after. There was one small error on the order which was dealt with promptly and with no difficulty. Overall, food was excellent, service excellent and atmosphere was really good. We will definitely go again and recommend wholeheartedly to others.
