Amici Brentwood is my family's usual dinner spot. We love the atmosphere and the service. They always welcome us like family! The pasta is so good. There salads are really tasty. This time, I ordered the chicken paillard which was really moist and flavorful. I highly recommend the restaurant.
Always a wonderful experience. Great food, great servers always. Cozy yet elegant ambiance with soft lighting. Perfect for a great meal with family and friends or an intimate date.
Went there twice while visiting LA. Perfect experience. Food was outstanding! Loved turkey lasagna, eggplant parmigiana, apple cobbler pie. Service is wonderful. Highly recommended. I was there pre-COVID and happily came back.

This rating is mostly for their gelato/sorbet choices. Although the atmosphere is lovely, service was fine, especially for a busy Saturday evening although we were seated early by the door as we had no reservation. That was fine. I wasn't wowed by what I ordered or my daughter's pasta dish but WOW, the dessert did it for me/us. It's made fresh by their maitre d? We got Lemon sorbetto and I can't even describe how over the top amazing it was. SO good, we ordered up a second to share. Then he let us sample his Blueberry and his Nutella. I'll be going back and I'll call first to see what their gelato/sorbetto flavors are and make sure Lemon is on the menu!
Whatever you do don't order the Dover sole. We had our first experience years ago when we ordered the Dover sole and decided to never go back. Some time afterwards, a neighbor told us it was her favorite restaurant and we gave it another try. I had the best arrabiatta pasta I have ever had and everything else was just wonderful. Now its a mainstay for our eating out plans. Love this place.

Amici Brentwood provided an outstanding dining experience for our first date anniversary. The impeccable service, particularly from Paolo, enhanced the evening. Quick and delicious food, coupled with a romantic atmosphere, made this restaurant our go-to choice for special occasions. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a delightful and memorable dining experience.

Amici never lets you down. You can eat healthy there (as I did) or pig out. That reminds me of The Ivy and might explain why both places are such long term successes. The service is excellent too.

Friendly neighborhood restaurant with friendly service and really good food. Pasta was perfectly cooked al dente and sauce was delicious. Salads and a fish dish were also very tasty. We hadn't been there in a while and after our meal, wondered why. We will return soon.

I dined at this restaurants Sister restaurant in Glendale last week and it was superb. Was looking forward to this Sunday night. Dinner with the family. We ordered the Fritto Misto, which was good a margarita pizza, below average and turkey meatballs, which were so so. we continued with the beet salad with balsamic, which was OK and ordered for pasta dishes. The Cacio E Pepe was terrible as was my daughters lemon pasta that was overpowering with citrus. I had the Bolognese, which was pretty good. The service was decent overall, but the tables are so small that we were always trying to shuffle plates around to make room. Overall, for as pricey as this place is the food is very very average.

I frequent this restaurant and always love it. But, this particular time the service was terrible, the host was rude and the food was very mediocre! Not sure I'll be returning to one of my regular spots :-(
excellent food - best branzino I have ever had and my wife felt the same about her gnochi. service was stellar; waiter was charming and had a good sense of humor. creme brule... so good. ambiance is Brentwood lovely. parking depends on your luck :) don't let that dissuade you; this is a top notch little italian place on the westside worth coming back to.

We wanted a window table but we were denied because we were a party of two. Yet later a party of two was seated at the window - why? Also the waiter brought the wrong chicken dish to us, not the one we ordered. I did not complain, but I hesitate to return to this restaurant.

My family and I went to Amici Brentwood for the first time and it did not disappoint. If you are looking for great authentic Italian cuisine look no further. The food was fantastic. We were absolutely pleased with everything from the food to the ambience to the service. Our server was Marco and he was phenomenal. The entire staff was great. This restaurant exceeded all our expectations and is now at the top of our list for Italian dining.

Impeccable food. As good as it gets. But what makes a great restaurant is not only the food but the attitude of those who serve its patrons. Rude host and arrogant waiter. Was told restaurant was full when we were the first to arrive. Explained we had a reservation. Asked for a table at window and told that specific table had been reserved one month ago. Asked waiter price of special appetizer and was told he didn't know as if price was irrelevant. Amici will not go out of business because I do not patronize it. But I will find other restaurants to dine where courtesy is valued over haughty behaviors.
