Amici's

For appetizers the table ordered bruschetta, bocconcini (fried mozzarella balls) and clams casino. i'm not a huge fan of bruschetta and there was nothing special about theirs that would change my preference (although they have a roasted garlic bruschetta as well that might change my mind). The bocconcini on the other hand was fantastic. similar to, but much better than ordinary mozzarella sticks. the clams casino were good as well.

Entrees:
I had chicken their margherita - breaded chicken cutlet served with breaded eggplant cutlet and ham on top. The portion was giant but other than the sound of it, it was average. i also tried the lobster ravioli which was good. i didn't try the Sicilian steak but it looked interesting.


the bill at Amici's was somewhat higher than i expected especially in light of the fact that the entrees didn't seem too expensive on the menu. the expense may have simply been attributable to the alcohol but i didn't study the check to verify that. regardless, Amici's was solid but not spectacular so it gets *** out of four mannillos.
