In Italian, Amici means friend; and there is no better place to make friends than Amici’s Restaurant of Kirkwood. The restaurant, which blends fine Italian cuisine with great atmosphere, is going strong into its fifth year.
You could search all of St. Louis, and not find a single place that treats you more like a friend than Amici’s. The owners love the business they’re in. They often are seen walking from table to table, talking and joking with regular customers. It is apparent from the moment you step into the cozy restaurant that the number one goal at Amici’s is customer satisfaction.
Then, of course, there is the food. Dozens of pastas, seafood, chicken, and more fill the menu. All are cooked to perfection then presented beautifully. Almost as a tribute to the traditional Italian family, the portions at Amici’s seem to be enough to fill an adult African elephant. In fact, a sign on the window advertises a special deal, clean your plate and have a free dessert.
As you attempt to clean your plate to get that delicious treat, you will begin to realize that you are eating some of the best Italian food in the St. Louis area. The aroma alone will be enough to motivate you to finish your meal, in case winning your tasty dessert isn’t enough. From breathtaking salads, to pasta made in mouth-watering sauces, Amici’s has a very diverse menu, everyone will love something.
The best thing about all this delectable food is its price. Certainly after tasting your meal you will assume it will empty your wallet. At Amici’s, however, this simply isn’t true.
The restaurant sports 5 separate rooms for private functions, each one more unique than the next. My personal favorite, the St Louis Room, shines full of beautiful watercolors of scenes around St. Louis. It is also the perfect size for a family party or business meeting as it sits 50-60.
The next time you find yourself in Kirkwood, craving great food and good times, come on out to Amici’s, where I guarantee you will instantly become a friend.
