Visited for a friends birthday, fabulous service and delicious food. The table next to us also had a birthday and kindly shared his cake with us after the restaurant sang happy birthday to him. Received a complimentary limoncello then complimentary procecco for the birthday celebration. Then food we couldn’t finish we took away in a doggy bag which was delicious for lunch today. Would definitely recommend!

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.

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.

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

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!

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 !

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.

The Food was good but a little too much pepper in the pasta we thought. The Chicken was good as was the burger however. The atmosphere although nice was quite loud but it was a Friday evening and was busy. The mess of Torquay road works made parking and driving to the venue very difficult and it is time the local council sorted this out. The service was excellent and this made a vast difference to the whole experience. Thanks Aggie for providing such excellent service and we would certainly go back there again as a result.

This review is not about a visit. This restaurant is excellent place for eating in. However I would like to bring to your attention that due to health issues, some times the owner is unable to open. We come on holiday and book twice a year. However 3 out of our last 4 bookings have been cancelled. We have just been unlucky, but,if you are new to this restaurant just be aware that this could happen. But do not let this stop you from booking, cause once there you will have a great evening.

I understand we were the only people in the restaurant . however the only interaction with her was to take the order and serve it. no asking if everything is OK or do we want any more drinks! once she left our food we didn't see her again for 30 minutes!

Das Essen ist gut, nach 10 Minuten bereits am Tisch, was bei frischer Zubereitung schwierig ist. Ein echter Kritikpunkt sind die völlig abgegriffenen Speisekarten.
