Wow, so surprised! My wife and I were over the moon with the delicious, fresh, perfect portions of our meal. Our server was delightful, profession and friendly. I had veal Masada with spaghetti noodles. I must say the homemade noodles and sauce was done to...perfection. We also really enjoyed the fresh Caesar salad as it wasn't drenched in creamy dressing,but had a nice light traditional dressing as it should be.More

A bright spot in the Cambridge restaurant scene. The pasta, and the woodfired pizza were excellent. The server was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. As good as any of the Italian restaurants we experienced at Yonge & Eglinton in Toronto.

I went there with a friend last week and it was one of the best experiences I've had in a long time. The owner was so gracious and funny; the food was delicious and authentic, and the service was great. They are just great and...they can count me now as a regular customer :)More

Tucked away in an unpretentious plaza on quiet Glamis Road, who knew some of the best Italian home-made food could be found here? Recommended by neighbours as a good old-fashioned family run restaurant, my companion and I enjoyed a calamari starter, a generous and delicious...pasta dish each, a very lightly oiled and very fresh Caesar and couldn't have asked for better quality. The Tiramisu? To die for. We arrived a little early and so were glad we did. Server was just able to cover about 18 diners but fortunately none of us was in any kind of hurry although earlier one couple I guess didn't wish to wait so all of the rest of us raised our eyebrows on their departure. Chill people! Relax. Enjoy. Wind down for the luvva Pete. This ain't yer fast food at some contrived 'diner' or americannaeastsidemario rubbish. This is the real thing. Shall recommend to family in the area and all I know who have fond memories of Italian food back home...get in here before the owner speaks more of retiring!More

Awful attitude from servers asked what kind of red wine and she just glared at me and responded I don’t know whatever we have.. was charged 5$ for condiments used and the place was cold due to them leaving door open.

What a delightful place to have dinner! The red gingham tablecloths set the ambiance for a casual and no fuss but delicious meal. Wood burning pizza oven occupies one corner and turns out beautiful thin crust pizzas. Service was excellent. We started with two appetizers....Crispy calamari which was nicely cooked and tender. The grilled Caesar salad is a must have! Full leaves of Romaine brushed with EVO are perfectly charred, dressed with their homemade dressing then topped with house cured bacon and freshly grated Parmesan. Really a nice twist on a Caesar! The Seafood Linguine came with clams and an abundance of seafood in a tasty white wine tomato sauce. I had a new dish called Rosette di Parma all’Emiliana. This is a baked pasta that consists of layers of pasta topped with cured ham, fontina cheese, rolled, cut into rings, baked in cream and topped with meat sauce and freshly grated Parmesan. Another must try at this place. Yummy garlic toast accompanied both mains. Prices are very reasonable. I wish we lived closer, we would come more regularly.More

Amici earned its reputation of being the best Italian in Cambridge. The pizza and pasta was fantastic and the grilled Caesar was the best I’ve had. Service was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

When I tell you to run, I mean RUN for some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. It’s a shame I didn’t get a picture of our appetizer because it really showcased how great the mains to follow were going to be! The...chef was so kind and humble when we complimented him for the amazing food! I could literally write a ten page review just on the sauce. it’s made in house and I honestly drooled! I ended up asking to take some home to eat my leftovers! The price is reasonable and affordable and our server was so sweet and kind! The tirimasu was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. It was moist and so rich! To be honest everything was rich in flavour and I Definitely recommend everyone gives it a try. I’ll be returning again with my family!More

Pizza looked fabulous will try someday. Pasta dishes were good. Waitress really nice. Caesar salad needs some work. Very plain. Very relaxed atmosphere, no need to dress up. Service was a little slow but waitress was apologetic and very nice. Asked when booking reservation if...it was a special occasion and I told them it was my birthday. It was never acknowledged though. So there is no point in asking that question...More
