Amici Italian Osteria + Wine Bar in Abbotsford

I love the atmosphere at this place and the food is genuinely good. But the menu is extremely limited and every time we have been, they are out of a couple dishes. Given , how small the menu is, I don t really understand how they can run out.

Service was stellar. They have made the portions larger since opening, which is nice. Very tiny font on the menu - only mentioning since many of the menu items/ingredient are not ones customers are typically familar with. Great vibe and great addition to our downtown.

So glad we have this place in Abbotsford. I love the downstairs bar. Reminds me of a NYC Bar

Nice atmosphere and the downstairs area looks very exclusive and look forward to the experience. But we went for a late lunch and were very happy with our experience. The server was the best part! Going into a wine bar as a non-drinker was very bold, but we love Italian food and couldnt wait to try their version. I was surprised that they charge extra for the fresh grated parmesan cheese. It was worth it, but thats why I only gave 4 stars. Id like to tell you what happened, but Im just going to say, try it for yourself.

I was here for a work dinner with my partner and although we had food not from regular menu, the dinner they provided was incredible. The vegetarian pasta they had was AMAZING, the best pasta I have had in a long time, and everything was really nicely presented for each dish. Our server for our group of 15+ people was incredible. The tiramisu cake was also very good, I really enjoyed everything I got to try. Would definitely recommend for a small event dinner!

I m so happy to see a non-franchise restaurant specializing in Italian cuisine open in my area. I ve tried two salads and two pasta dishes. The salads were excellent, but the Agnolotti felt like the pasta dough was a bit thick. Other than that, everything was great. I m truly grateful to have a restaurant like this in Abbotsford and look forward to visiting often!

I ve been before and it was a better experience and better food. Last night the server let us know the new menu is three weeks old. I ordered the calamari casarecce. It had no flavor and the noodles were mushy. Asked for salt to try and save it but that did not work. Our server, Merissa, didn t once ask how it was even though it sat basically untouched and I did not want a box to take it home. Had she asked how anything was, I would have let her know.

Most delicious!

Our food and our server were excellent. However, I took exception to how our reservation was handled. I had booked online for the downstairs lounge as it has a better layout and atmosphere. When we arrived were told the entire downstairs had been booked out for a party. After we were seated we were told there was a time crunch on our table and it was booked again so that we could not stay as long as we would normally be able to. I pointed out that it wasnt on us that they had gone for the money maker booking and then had to scramble to fit everyone in the small upstairs dining room. Where I didnt want to be in the first place. Kept being told we werent being rushed yet no way would we have been able to enjoy dessert if we had bothered to order any. Obviously the downstairs booking was done at a later date than when I did mine. A courtesy phone call at the very least would have been appropriate. To be told I had to rush through my meal because of something they did, was completely unacceptable.

Great atmosphere and service, food was pretty decent but a little bit of room for improvement. Would definitely eat here again. :)

Called in and made a reservation for 8 people and when I called back a week later to let them know that some of the people couldn t make it so that they could free up space, I was told that there was no record of my reservation anywhere and that they were now all booked up and couldn t make accommodations anywhere for 4 people. Very disappointed in their reservation process and how their mistake was handled. Was excited about this place.

We booked a table a week ahead but they lost our reso and couldn t find a way to accommodate our party.

Amazing food and wonderful service. Ambiance was lovely. Only thing I found odd was some of the servers wearing jeans. I feel like this place is so classy that staff all wearing black or something could make it the top. Vegetarian options: We dined family-style, and there wasnt a vegetarian main dish which was a tad surprising

I love the downstairs vibe! Feels like I m at a restaurant in the city. Will was my bartender and he was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable and every suggestion he made was perfect the burrata was suberb and the bruschetta was even better! (As if that was even possible!) Will knows the wine well and the pairing with the food was bang on. Definitely an asset to your company! You can tell this role fits him like a glove. 11/10!

First time going there tonight. My stuffed pasta was watery with no sauce, very disappointing. My friends chicken was raw. We each ate 2-3 bites and we had them take away our meals. We were still charged for half of the meal, not option to change. Service was very slow. Would not ho back. Table next to us sent their meal back too.

This place is so lovely. I had one of the best lattes that I have ever had. A beautiful bowl of soup that you only experience once in awhile. What a lovely relaxing time we had. It was just what we needed. Thank you so much.

For a first visit, we were impressed. The food was delicious. That bread though .fantastic. Aldi really enjoyed the gelato! We will be back! Special thanks to our server (long red hair sorry didn t get her name). She was working alone, serving the entire main room for the most part & rocked it. She was welcoming, engaging & just a lovely human. Honestly I d come back just to be served by her. Top notch server, she s a keeper!

I have been here on two separate occasions for dinner. Service was very friendly and food was delicious! Highly recommend the Hillside pinot gris and pesto con olio di peperoncino malfadine!

Amazing food and service!

The service and atmosphere were good. Our server checked in on our table of 6 at good intervals. The food was good but over priced for what you get (basically paying DT Vancouver prices in Abbotsford). They offer daily special entree but only make 30 servings for the entire day....not sure why you would only have 30 servings for the whole day (kind of pointless to offer this option then in my opinion) Two of our friends ordered the chicken dish which was a little dry. I ordered the Pesto Con Olio di Peperoncino Mafaldine which was cooked nicely. It had just the right amount of spice but wasnt too much to handle. Thinking of Italian food you would expect pizza, gnocchi, and carbonara pasta on the menu, but there was none. Overall good experience and I encourage others to check it out, but it wasnt for me.

My wifes a Chef and its so hard to find good restaurants that she will like. Abbotsford does not have a lot of good restaurants but I believe this one has potential to be one of them. Eggplant parm was great and so was my Special. Italian salad had some bitter lettuce but that happens at this time of year. End of season thing. We heard the home made pasta is great so we will order that on our next visit. I know its kind of casual fair but Im not a fan of jeans and casual shirts for servers in an upper class restaurant . Just my opinion.. Vegetarian options: Theres a few

Awesome outdoor space! Its a hidden gem in Abbotsford. Who doesnt like pasta? And these guys seem to do it right. Theres nothing like spending a couple of hours on the patio drinking wine and eating great food. The only downside is the price point is a little high. Not sure what its like to dine inside, but we will try it soon.

So good and highly recommend if you are in the area. Our server was phenomenal and the food was amazing. The butternut squash gnocchi was to die for. The appetizers were delicious. We ordered the burrata with beets which Im not a huge fan of but it was very good. Would definitely return if in Abbotsford.

Came here for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Loved the wine flights to try different wines. We started with the charcuterie tray and it was very good. For dinner I got pasta al forno and to be honest I found it very bland and dry. It was a little burnt on the top and not a lot of sauce in the pasta. My husband got the rigatoni al pesto and he enjoyed his. I wish there were a few more choices of pastas or some options with seafood. All in all it was a good evening. Our waiter Dalton was very good, attentive and personable.

Food was good, our waitress was really nice. Hard to do any substitutions, although because of this and they werent busy the chef did a special dish for myself which was lovely. Great lunch experience.

As you can see, it is burnt and with a bitter aftertaste. I tried clarifying this with your manager and server, but apparently, this is intentional. I am gravely disappointed with how this complaint was handled. As a fellow chef, I am saddened by this dish. Asking 36.50 for a pasta dish with chicken gives you a pretty good margin. Most of the food cost is on the chicken, and yet you serve me a burnt piece and try to pass it on as intentional. Your kitchen has a rationale oven, and i assume proper equipment. Temperature control shouldnt be an issue. There is no excuse for serving a burnt breaded chicken that costs 36.50 as a WEEKLY FEATURE. I refused the option to get a replacement dish, but i think a discount was in order. To which was never offered. the tomato sauce is subpar, and flavors are very one dimensional. It is incredible that an Italian restaurant would serve a burnt chicken parmigiana as intentional, something that is fundamentally simple.

Mukti went above and beyond and the bartender nailed all the cocktails. Great food, great vibes!

So I ve tried this restaurant twice now.. once when it first opened and again last night. First time everything was amazing (this was back in Mayish). Last night we had resos for 745, they were out of sooo many things, it seemed everything we asked for they didn t have. Felt like we kept having to change our mind on what we wanted to order. I will say the stuffed lemon ricotta pasta is an absolute must. It was delish the first time I had it and even better last night. (Surprised they even had it available!) the foccacia was super dry and subpar. Their tiramisu was..not really tiramisu? I didn t taste any coffee flavor and it was super dense. It did have a good taste I m just not sure it should be called tiramisu. I would come back but I feel it s very over rated for the price

$17 for two scoops of gelato is insane.

This place is an exquisite gem! Incredibly crafted food, an atmosphere that feels like a time out of mind where a formal suit and fancy dress feel as appropriate as a cozy sweater. Servers are excellent, the kitchen is professional, pushing out phonomonal dishes that are plated simply but every piece is layered with quality pieces done to perfection. I have been twice, ordered focaccia to start, the lemon ricotta stuffed tortellini with the addition of salmon, the amichi spritz and tiramisu. The focaccia was perfect, with the butter sauce adding a depth that was unexpected. The lemon ricotta was also perfect, layering different simple tastes to create a very complex dish where bites taste different. I added salmon to see if they could cook it properly and they did not disappoint. Best salmon Ive had. Because they got everything right I was interested to try their signature spritz. It was also excellent and I loved the addition of rhubarb. It had a bit too much ice in the glass which watered down the flavors but still was excellent. The tiramisu was a break from tradition, using pound cake and I really loved the freshness of the cake and the excellent espresso they used. It melded perfectly, my only criticism is the sizing is way too big and should be cut down by a half! I like to enjoy my meal and linger in the flavors so I have no pictures but trust me and go.

I have visited this restaurant several times. I love the atmosphere and overall vibe. When my partner and I go out for dinner, we primarily want to experience local fare and support small businesses in our community. We dont often visit chains. This place has a lot of potential, but the consistency just doesnt seem to be there. There arent a lot of *exceptional* restaurants in Abbotsford in terms of outstanding flavours paired with a cozy, ambient atmosphere. Amici has a great atmosphere, but the flavours seem to be hit or miss. When I am spending good money on food, I expect consistency. The first few times I have come to this restaurant, the food was amazing. Lovely cocktails and a unique selection of Italian wines. Yesterday, the flavours in my dish really fell flat. I ordered the weekly special (chicken parm with the little salad on top). My favorite part was the salad. The noodles were very undercooked, gummy, and slightly cold (around the outside of the plate only). When cut in half, the inside of the chicken was slightly pink and the texture was off-putting. The sauce on the noodles lacked flavour. When I politely informed the waitress of the mishap, they were quick to make me another dish. It was a bit better. The other people we were out wish also experienced undercooked noodles. I feel like this shouldnt happen at an Italian restaurant! I would love to see more variety on the menu...perhaps some pizza? I am willing to give this restaurant another shot (maybe just for cocktails and focaccia) as it is a unique place in our community and its a cozy spot. It seems like the owner and chef are open to feedback to improve, based on other reviews I have read... So hopefully these are just growing pains of a relatively new restaurant.

The food was horrible. Im Italiano and was raised with italian food, and that did not even come close to what Im used to. My stomach was really sore after that food. Very very very very very very very bad

Great atmosphere, very good food and excellent service

Unreal. Absolutely delicious. Friendly staff. Vibes were fabulous. I had the stuffed pasta of the day, which I believe had lemon and ricotta, and it was bright and delicious. Everything I hoped for and more. When I saw the size of the tiny $4 chicken addition i was a little disappointed but after tasting it I d agree it was worth the four dollars. Crispy skin, super moist, well seasoned. My friend got the spaghetti and meatballs, something I d never order out cause it s so easy to make at home. I have found everywhere I go it tastes relatively the same. Not here. Absolutely delicious and unlike anything I could make at home or have tried at any other Italian restaurant. I would absolutely order it next time, cause I ll definitely be back. Highly recommend. Go here.

Very friendly staff, super helpful with our infant son. They set us up with a highchair and in a space away from others. The food was so great, and really good portion sizes too. Fast service which was great when we were limited on time with a small child. Loved it and will be back again soon!

I was very disappointed with my experience at Amici. It is well decorated and the atmosphere has potential for a great eatery but the lack of service and tasteless menu could not make up for it. We had to wait over 40 minutes to place our order after being the first to arrive for lunch service. The servers were not attentive, and were very difficult to flag down. It was really unfortunate that both the pizza and pasta were awful to consume as they lacked any flavour. We even had to request salt and pepper but they were not helpful. I really hope it was an off day because it does seem like a great place for Abbotsford.

Was excited to try this place. Server said first night with the new menu. All of our pasta was VERY over cooked. He said, new menu, first night, and he d let the kitchen know it was slightly overlooked. I said no, they were both very overcooked, like a gluey blob. Comped us gelato. Disappointing as I had heard great things about this place. May consider going back as there is no way that is how an Italian restaurant could cook pasta all the time.

Dalton was an all star! He was knowledgeable with pasta and wine pairings and made excellent recommendations for dessert. The food was also a treat. We started with the burrata and olives. For mains, we got the pasta al forno and the pesto con oilo - recommend the latter if you like a spicy pasta. Ended the night with a classic tiramisu and some gelato. Such a gem to have in Abbotsford.

Was told by the hostess to email the management about a reservation (after she told me o boy, good luck which was bizarre) and there s been no response from the management since I sent my email on Sept 18. Will not be going through with the reservation but am very surprised at the poor customer service. Very disappointing.

6th time there. Love the new steak option. Thanks Dalton.

Second visit last night, both times on the patio. Noticed a few improvements since the last visit (better wine list, clearer menu, better crostinis with the olives). Patio is A+, incredible atmosphere. Have yet to try the wine bar downstairs but walked through it and it also had great ambience, cozier and louder than outside of course. Food is fantastic: have enjoyed the chefs fresh selection twice, the spicy pesto with sausage is incredible, the focaccia is on point and the olives are to die for. Service has been outstanding and friendly. Last night we had Dalton who was extremely helpful as we matched our mains with a great bottle of wine. He mentioned that their sommelier is reworking the wine program and based on last nights feature bottle, its going extremely well. Well be back!

Our server Dalton was an absolute pleasure and the dine atmosphere was fantastic. I would dine in again only if we had Dalton as our server.

staff was great and thorough with recommendations. the space was really cozy with ambient lighting but it was quite chilly in there though, so that was odd. the food was not bad, but it wasn t great either. the bread was pretty dry and the pasta dishes were above average at best. i think i may have set my expectations too high so i was left quite disappointed. the prices were good for the portion they served given the restaurant prices these days; they were appropriate. for someone who s interested and excited about wine and cocktails, i would highly recommend this place. for dinner, not so much.

Their lunch menu is such a rip off. They charged $16 for a bowl of underseasoned pasta and sauce with no other ingredients. Had to add $4.5 for four slivers of chicken. Asked for extra Parmesan and was not informed of extra charge and when the bill came it was extra $4. It was Parmesan cheese from a can and not parmigiano reggiano. Unfortunately it s food from old spaghetti factory dressed in the pricing and decor of an Italian Osteria . Never again.

Great! Loved it. Sat out side, very nice space to enjoy a meal. The drink menu was cool and we tried a few great cocktails. They were great. The apps were very good and they have a good variety. We had the dinner specials and they were great. The meal was topped off with tiramisu. Great experience.

Pasta with Italian sausage and chili oil to die for accompanied with their homemade focaccia White wine crisp Mannara Dessert the best Tiramisu Servers were superb

A lovely lil spot! Once our server brought me additional pasta sauce for my dish, it was fantastic! The entertainment was wonderful. All the staff seemed very nice. I am looking forward to going back and have already told several friends to try it out.

I want to give a nice review and will update this once we have been able to dine there, however I strongly recommend reservations as we tried to walk in at 5:30 and they couldnt seat us till after 7:30 as walk ins. It looks like a nice spot, they have a Gelato bar attached and I hope to try it soon... RESERVATIONS! Atmosphere

Another amazing experience at Amici tonight. Staff was attentive, food was incredible, atmosphere was great! Marissa was our waitress and she is the best, explains everything and is so personable! Made the trip out on the rainiest night of the month so worthwhile! My favorite place to celebrate! Vegetarian options: Several to choose from

Honestly didn t expect to taste such badly made and tasting tiramisu from a restaurant that claims to be good at Italian food. Absolute disappointment and waste of money. The tiramisu s texture was more like a baked cake and thick layers it was so weird

We ordered pickup to bring home. My wife and I love tiramisu and so we ordered desert for at home on a Friday night. What we got was lot tiramisu. It was basically a cake. So disappointing. It was so dense. The light airy flavor was not at all there. I would be afraid to try any other food. Also for dessert we spent $30 bucks for 2 people, just disappointing overall. Don t need to try here any further.

We just got back from a great experience at Amici. We did not have a reservation, but I could tell the hostess was genuinely trying to fit us in (on a Saturday night, which was probably tricky). We got in about 20 minutes later. We sat at the bar downstairs, and our server was William, who was excellent! I have struggled to find a place in the valley that has good service, good food and atmosphere. We got all of it tonight. The only reason I take one star off is because my gluten-free pasta was slightly undercooked. That said, when I was asked how it was, I did not tell the server it was undercooked because we were on a time crunch. I know they would have made it right if I had told them. We will definitely be back. Nice to finally have some atmosphere in Abby!

Dalton is the most amazing server remembers our table every time we come knows our drinks. If they heat that patio, we ll be there year round. Dalton is a gem!!

Loved the atmosphere and vibe , patio is amazing . But food could be way better , pasta came out cold and was super dry . Server didn t come until we were almost finished with our meal . For the food to be so expensive . You would expect everything to be perfect. But unfortunately it wasn t.

Came in this past Sunday and was blown away with the service, cocktails, plating, and overall taste! We had the male bartender (I forget his name already ) serve us. He was polite, comical, and knowledgeable about both the wine/cocktail selection and food selection. All of his pairing recommendations were on point, and his table side manner had us in hysterics. We opted for a starter cocktail and enjoyed the wine flight over dinner. (All the wines were recommended to us by the server based on our main meals, and they were on point!!) The food itself was delicious and so beautifully presented. Everything tasted fresh and arrived hot. The perfect spot for a romantic dinner setting or an evening with the girls. Will be back to check out the patio before the patio season is gone! For dessert, we had the sorbetto spritz (I had the peach) which was mesmerizingly tasty,the summer fling which was just sweet enough, and lastly the Garibaldi which was full of flavour and again, beautiful to look at. The drinks and service were definitely highlights of our meal. Wheelchair accessibility: Beautiful and clean, well kept wheel chair accessible bathroom on the main floor. The sun kissed patio is also wheel chair accessible

My first time here at this Italian restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. I had rigatoni with spicy tomato sauce and lemonade. My friend had kale ceasar salad , lemonade. We both shared the garden foccacia. The lunch menu doesnt have a lot of options, yet I was happy with what we had. I will go for dinner next time. My server was excellent, sorry I didnt ask her name. Thank you! Ill be back

I really want to leave the restaurant a good review given that I was looking sooo forward to dining in this restaurant however, we didnt have the greatest experience. The restaurant is fairly new and had just opened. I knew about the restaurant through social media. I had a reso for 4 people and we were seated as soon as we came to the restaurant. For drinks, we started with 2x aperol and 2x negroni. The aperol was kinda flat. Negroni as per my partner was great and not too bitter. For appies, we started with meatballs and foccacias - classic and rosemary/garlic. And for mains, we ordered the mushroom gnocchi and added chicken (as recommended by our server, Miranda) and rigatoni al pesto. The meatballs were good and delicious. The crostinis that came with it were flat out burnt. The focaccias were soft and delicious. The butter that came with the foccacias were amazing. We asked for balsamic and oil to be paired up with foccacias. 1. the balscamic + oil came too late - we were almost done with the focaccias and theyre already cold. 2. we were not told it would cost us $3 dollars/balsamic + oil. so we were surprised when we saw our bill. 3. the lady that brought out the balsamic+ oil spilled it on the table and spilled it on my friends aperol. Although the girl that spilled the oil cleaned up after, it was never told to our server. The server also never checked in on us as to how the food tasted or how everything was going. After the appies, our mains took approximately an hour to get to our table. We witnessed three tables who were seated long after us get their food before us and had to speak to our server about the missing mains. The server actually walked past us many times but never noticed that we never had the mains. The pastas were great and delicious. Very flavourful. The gnocchi was pillowy soft, but was missing the chicken. And the rigatoni was cooked al dente. Also, when we spoke to the server about the spilled balsamic + oil in the aperol, she was nice enough to change it and get a new one for my friend. The new aperol tasted great. Lastly, my partner and I had the tiramisu and we ordered 2x french pressed coffee, which tasted great and very strong as per our partners. Overall, this place has a potential. Communication between the servers, hostesses, and other staff definitely could use a lot of improvement. Customer service was okay. Although the first experience was not good, me and my partner are down to go back as the food were actually great. **UPDATE** My partner and I came back over the weekend, and we have noticed a lot of improvements since our last visit. 1. The service was a lot better, maybe a bit too fast, but definitely better. Our appies came on a timely manner. The main came halfway through our appies, which i think may be a bit fast, but it is not a problem. - On top of this, our server was attentive! Repeated the orders to confirm, checked in to see how the dinner was going. 2. Their menu was updated and stated the price for add-ons like the balsamic+olive oil (which was a surprise for us last time) 3. For appies, we had meatballs and focaccia (rosemary and garlic). The crostinis that came with the meatballs were perfect! The edges were cripsy but yhe middle part was still in between soft and crunchy (if that makes sense). The meatballs were cooked great, not too dry. the focaccia and butter were just as amazing as our first time. 4. For our main, we had the peperoncino ( came with italian sausage). I think it was the only pasta that came with protein (im not too sure, but the other options we had did not have). The pasta was cooked al dente. The sauce was creamy, a little spicy, but the spicy-ness does not linger that long, and was very flavourful. Over all this dish to us was a 4.5/5. We had tiramisu again, and it just never fails :). Not too sweet, very creamy, and just the right hint of coffee. Overall, this was a better experience for us. A lot better than the first one. I would rate the experience a 4/5

A nice place in Abby to get a delicious cocktail, appy, pasta dish, and dessert.

Love it.

Delicious food, awesome atmosphere. The lemon sorbet is quite exceptional, and their garlic bread is the best I ve ever had

Dalton -our waiter was incredible!! he really helped us pick out our mains and also helped us pick out drink for health compliment the past as well. This was absolutely the best experience I could ve ever asked for and, the pasta was amazing and I ve never had pasta like it. I m so happy that I came here tonight for a date night. It s beautiful and amazing liveliness and ambience. I would highly recommend anybody and amazingly would recommend the service.

We loved the food & ambience. Taste & flavours are quite authentic, one of the best we ve been to outside of Italy.

William is an absolute delight. His Service was amazing. We Will be back to hang out with him again. He is a 5 star

I really want to love Amici, but after two visits its just not going to be a repeat unless its for Aperitivo on the patio (which unfortunately is impossible on a weekday for anyone who works a normal job as its from 3pm - 4pm). The food both times was just OK. I can appreciate simple pasta dishes, but if youre going to keep it that simple, it needs to be executed excellently and it is not. We tried 4 different pastas over two visits. Id say the standout was the garden cavatelli. The al forno, pesto, and formaggio were just OK. All could benefit from additional ingredients, like summer squash or broccoli in the formaggio, roasted cherry tomatoes and olives in the pesto... We also really would appreciate an offer of fresh ground pepper... I think this place has the potential to be great, but they need to get more creative as the pastas are boring. Our favorite Italian restaurant is Il Terrazo in Victoria - they have interesting options and most pasta dishes have more than just pasta and sauce...

Service was superb. Food was superb. Wine was also superb. Made my night!

Beautifully designed restaurant! Pasta was 10/10. Looking forward to return and trying out other items on the menu. Food

Amazing food and service. Dalton served us, and had the best recommendations but also so fun to talk with! From appetizers, dinner, wine and dessert we appreciated his recommendations, knowledge and honest opinions!

I visited Amici for a date night and ordered the rigatoni - 4 stars! One of the staff recommended pairing the rigatoni with Langhe wine, which elevated the meal to a 5-star experience. I was very impressed with our bartenders customer service (tall, young, man) and his ability to enhance the meal through his wine pairing expertise. I highly recommend Amici for their knowledgeable and attentive staff.

Delicious food. Inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We sat in the trendy outdoor patio and had a super great time, listening to very cool music. We shared the amazing kale Caesar salad and each of us had a different entre, all four of us loved them. Thanks to Cadence, our server, who was attentive and fun Who knew we could order house gelato, made right next door and brought to us at our table. Great job, we will be back soon!

The best Italian food Ive had outside of Italy.

This restaurant is a little gem in Abbotsford. There is a beautiful patio in the back and wine bar downstairs and the most delicious Italian home made food! Everything was wonderful from the burrata to the pastas and perfect chicken. The wine list is also lovely! The patio dining in the back is quiet and perfect for a larger group with patio umbrellas and beautiful back years ambiance. The staff are sweet and professional and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wishing a wonderful, delicious and positive dining experience any night of the week. Kid-friendliness: Perfect lawn in the back for kids to play!

Wow what a nice surprise in downtown Abbotsford. The food was amazing and I had no idea they had a great patio in the back in a nice setting with big trees and grass. We will be back!

Great little Italian eatery located in downtown Abbotsford!

Beautiful lunch on the patio. Food and wine were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic with large trees and umbrellas for shade. The chicken pesto sandwich was very flavourful and quite large. Focaccia bread is to die for. We will be back! Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible for both inside the restaurant and the patio

From the moment we walked in we were disappointed. The ambiance is modern and tasteful, with a very nice patio at the back, and a bar downstairs for dinner with another patio there as well. It is a very newly renovated and pretty place but that is the best thing I can say about this restaurant. We had a reservation, but no one asked who we were, so I am not sure why I had made one. The food was mediocre at best. I had a tomato soup which seemed like a sauce, too thick and reminded me of the tomato sauce my husband had on his pasta. It had the same taste. My husband had the arrabbiata spaghetti which was ok, but did not have any condiments like parsley or basil, on top so seemed pretty minimal, small in size, and no bread which would have been good for both of us. We asked for bread but there was none. The waitress got my friends order wrong and she seemed nervous, but was friendly in the end. I looked at the pizza which went by my table, and it was focaccia not a pizza at all, so I was glad I did not order that as I would have been very upset at getting focaccia. There were no desserts on the menu, only ice- cream from next door. The restaurant is lacking little important details that would make it stand out as a good and authentic Italian restaurant.

Went to Amici tonight and it was fantastic! From start to the finish it was really great. Patio in the back was beautiful! Server was super knowledgeable, drinks were delicious and the food Chicken Parmesan did not disappoint! We also tried the gelato and it was delicious! Well done We ll be back!

Super cute, busy, food was good times. Nice date night

Great meal and service in our new Italian restaurant!

I cant really say enough about this place, I am super impressed with the food and the staff. My wife had the gnocchi special for Friday & Saturday as shown below, she has referred to it as art. I had a pesto pasta with spicy Italian sausage, the best way I can describe it is that it had huge depth of flavour, with numerous layers in every bite! Pretty spectacular! I dont think this is worth reducing it from five stars but if you are going to serve peroni, why not branch out to a more authentic experience with the 500ml bottles in addition to including a Birra Moretti, Peroni Gran Reserva etc! They have done an incredible job with their patio which is a wonderful spot where I encourage to sit if the temperature allows for it. Loves the place and will hopefully be back for more!

Absolutely poor servings at the gelato place. Eight dollars for just over the brim of the cup. The gelato is not local. It s brought in from Vancouver. Disappointing all around.

100% would recommend. Amazing food, our server Dalton was super friendly and knowledgeable on food offerings and wine selection. Bring your friends and family you won t be disappointed.

My husband and I went last night to celebrate our 15th anniversary. The food was outstanding! We had the warmed olives as an appetizer amazing! My husband had chicken parmesan and I had the rigatoni with sundried tomatoes and pesto. Just delicious and generous portions! I was a little surprised they charged for my oil and balsamic for my bread. Olivia was our server and she was outstanding. (Glasses twins!). The atmosphere is very cool! My only complaint is the restaurant was insanely loud. It didn t help that they were playing records with a speaker that kept making crazy noises. My fingers are crossed that the upstairs (not the same atmosphere vibe at all) or outside would be quieter. Fabulous food, incredible service, great atmosphere ear plugs needed!! (I sound old! lol) Welcome to Abby! Great to have something new!

Poor lunch experience. Small portions and lack of flavor. The person I went to lunch with had lunch there last month and said the experience was much better. In comparison to today, the portions were incredibly tiny and food was skimped on. Would not recommend this restaurant as the cost for what you get is not worth it. $11 for a burrata and you now put half a burrata? Shrinkflation. 4 cut up cherry tomatoes does not compare to cut roma wedges previously. Artificial mint/ mint extract vs perviously putting real mint leaves in drinks. Save yourself a trip and $$ and go elsewhere. Don t let instagram trick you into trying this spot.

Love this addition to the Abby restaurant scene! Had the spaghetti with rosé sauce and focaccia, both were delicious and the handmade pasta had great texture. Definitely get the tiramisu for dessert, not too sweet and it was so moist and perfect. They also serve gelato from their gelato bar next door. Beautiful interior and outdoor patio, great service and food. Definitely recommend!

Such a cool little spot! The basement gives off Vancouver Gastown vibes (the good type!). I cant wait to come back and try more of the delicious pasta dishes!

Had the fresh pasta and gelato and it was amazing!!

Phenomenal food and fantastic service.

Definitely my new favourite spot in Abbotsford! Feels like going to a high end Italian place in the city

My wife and I enjoyed a delightful date night at Amici. The food was great, the hosts and our server were amazing. We sat out on the patio perfect atmosphere for a summer night out. I also wanted to speak to the portion sizes and how well done the pasta was. As someone who has lived in Italy for a year, the pasta is al dente which is how pasta is supposed to be cooked. If Amici overcooked the pasta to the Canadian standard then they would be doing a disservice to Italian cuisine in my personal opinion. The portion sizes are more than enough to satisfy and again doesnt follow our Canadian oversized portion sizes that most are used to. Perhaps Abby folk just aint ready for the legit stuff. I also want to make it clear that I have no connection to the owners or staff of this restaurant. I am sharing this review as a reflection of my experience at Amici. This is the closest you can get to authentic Italian food in Abbotsford. Vegetarian options: Amici has a variety of vegetarian options Parking: Free street parking in front of the restaurant and a small free parking lot just up the road by the lights.

Best Tiramisu cake Ive ever had! .. Good wine .. Gnocchi and spaghetti meatballs were both great dishes. The Bread was also very good. Very small menu, Im sure they increase options over time. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening here.

Amici has such a great vibe! I absolutely love the atmosphere there. The handmade lemon ricotta tortellini is the best Ive ever had! They also have a fantastic wine selection, and the warm and fresh focaccia bread is unreal! I cant wait to go back.

Amazing food and service in a relaxed modern Italian atmosphere. Thank goodness there s a cool place to eat in Abbotsford!

Not a good experience. We spent $85 not including tip on 1 drink each and the meal contained 1 piece of bread and about 12 tortellini (regular size) each with some sauce and it was cold. Service was not good. We had to go eat dinner after dinner. Will not be going back.

Great vibe! Awesome service! Amazing culinary delights. An array of beverages whether it be beer, wine or specialty drinks, to compliment your meal. You can enjoy your time in the restaurant upstairs, the bar setting downstairs or on the patio. We had a great time at Amicis, and will definitely be back.

We had a great experience at Amici. It felt proper European. The food is amazing and the vibe of the overall restaurant is something special that we just dont have in Abbotsford. I have been 3 times now, twice for drinks and once for food. The food is incredible. We had the bolognese and lemon ricotta. The bolognese was a show stopper. That SAUCE. They put time into that sauce. It has such a deep and rich flavour. I fell in love with that sauce. The lemon ricotta was also great. Super fresh tasting and flavourful. Something you would want out on the patio on a sunny day. All that being said, the noodles are actually fresh noodles. They make them right there in house. My dream come true. As for the overall vibe of the restaurant - incredible. Ive somehow managed to sit in all 3 spots now. The patio is incredible and you need to go out on a sunny day and experience it. Even though it is in the middle of downtown, you wouldnt know it. You cant hear the cars, just the nice music and chatter of people around you. The upstairs is so cute and cozy and I love the open kitchen. The downstairs is just something else. It feels lux. That bar? You have to go and see it to truly experience it. It gives classy speakeasy. The whole place is just something that Abbotsford is lacking and Im so so happy to see small businesses like this one pop up in downtown. I see there are a couple negative reviews speaking to the slow service and yes, I agree, our server wasnt the most attentive, but as other reviews have suggested, this is just the woes of a new business that is ironing out the details! Xoxo, I loved the sauce.

Food is pretty bland, they said the pasta has a little heat and there was none whatsoever. The place is super cute and I love that they have live music, but they definitely need to flavour the food better. The half baked chicken was pretty sad too and the only real gluten free option. Zero flavour to it.

Date night with my wife was a top shelf experience! The limited batch tortellini was perfection as my main. *too busy eating to have taken photos!*

Definitely one of the best meals I ve experienced in a long time! I went with two friends we all ordered something different and tasted each others dish. Lemon ricotta stuffed pasta, mushroom gnocchi and I had meatballs and spaghetti we topped it off with tiramisu! Oh my gosh the flavours are amazing and do not skip the focaccia bread! our servers Marissa and JJ top notch it was truly a great evening with delightful friends.

Updated review. Our first visit was amazing. The tortellini was fresh and delicious and the gnocchi was light and airy. We returned for a repeat, but it was the Berry Festival and they had a different menu. I had the eggplant parm, which is half an eggplant with some cheese on top and some sauce on the plate. I didnt really think it tasted like much. My husband had the rigatoni. It had more flavour than mine, but they were nowhere near the dishes we had during our first visit. Highly recommend the mushroom gnocchi, but I understand that they dont make it everyday. The tortellini was also delicious. Id skip the eggplant parm. Weve also had their lunch sandwiches and they were very good. The soup was sold out and I think youll want soup and a sandwich to leave nice and full at lunch.

Amici has a lot of promise! They are a new restaurant so I was expecting a few hiccups. I didnt have the best visit but I hope to return again in the future to give it another chance. The overall vibe and theme of the restaurant in enticing and romantic, while still being approachable. The menu is small but well curated. The first thing I noticed when I arrived were the flies that were buzzing around the restaurant. We didnt have a reservation but we were seated quickly- however they didnt ask our preference of where we would like to sit which was slightly disappointing since they have three unique options. One of the staff gave us water right away, but we waited a long time for our server to come to the table. We ordered an appetizer, 2 entrees and 2 drinks. One odd thing that happened is when I asked about the chef special, the server said it was sold out but forgot what it was. So she grabbed another staff member to have them describe to me what it was, even though it wasnt available... The appetizer came right away and it was delicious! We ordered some foccassia and it was light and fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The entrees came shortly after and they were also delicious. We tried the lemon ricotta tortellini and the amici Italian salad. We managed to finish both the appetizer and the entrees without the server checking in on us. And there was one thing we were missing- our drinks! I was thankful we had water at the table, but I was really looking forward to trying the Amici Spritz. When the server finally checked in, we just asked for the bill since we had already finished our meal. The last weird thing that happened is when we went to pay, the server put the machine in the middle of the table and stared at it while we paid! A little awkward! We always tip, so Im not sure if she was worried we wouldnt but Ive never seen someone do that before. She was a sweet girl otherwise, just not super attentive. Not the best experience for the price we paid. I felt like we could have received better service and equal or better food elsewhere in town for the same price or cheaper. I still had a great time because my company was great and the food wasnt bad but hopefully if we do come back again to give it a second chance it will be a different story for the service!

The food was 10/10 although I wish the eggplant Parmesan came with some pasta or they you could order a side of pasta. The tiramisu was to die for <3 Food

This was our first time being here and it did not disappoint. The food came quick and our server Dalton was one of the best. He was very polite, engaging and helped to make our first experience a great one. Will definitely be back!

Great food, great wine, great customer service.

We loved our experience at Amici. I ordered the SAUSAGE & CHILLI MAFALDE which was incredible. I highly recommend this Thursday night feature. The portion size was great (no bread with this feature because the portion was larger). Our server, Marisa M, was very professional, engaging and had a good sense of humour. She seemed to present the menu with enthusiasm and a sense of ownership. The live jazz music was awesome! Shout out to the singer of the night, he nailed it! And the gelato was fantastic highly recommend the salted caramel. You can tell it is high quality ingredients. My only recommendation would be to have complimentary bread with garlic butter . (Even if that means taking it off the mains) This is always a nice touch for while you wait for food. We will defintley be coming back here again with friends.

Went out for a nice dinner after hearing and seeing recommendations from a few friends saying how great this place was. Showed up for our reservation and was given a menu for food and drink as well as a specials menu for the day. After ordering drinks we waited to order appetizers and meals. After receiving our drinks we proceeded to order appetizers and our main meal items only to find out then that the special for the day along with two other items on the menu were sold out. After ordering the appetizers we asked for information on a dish and waited for our server to return to take our actual order of our mains. 20+ minutes went by before I had to actually flag down our server to come and speak with us. The information that we requested earlier was still not known and she had to leave us again to go and ask. Eventually she returned and we ordered our meals, of the 6 pasta dishes available at this Italian restaurant 3 we re not available at 8pm. The appetizers were ok but nothing special, the mains came out and were good and had lots of flavour and were quite enjoyable. At one point a second glass of wine was ordered to the table and they mixed up 3 wine glasses at the bar after pouring three different wines. Unfortunately even tho they knew they mixed them up they still served them all and ours was incorrect and the wrong wine, the server then admitted that she had known there was a mix up and had hoped we wouldn t notice or that it just was the right glass of wine. The group of middle aged ladies sitting at the table beside us probably should have went down the street to the local pub because they were shouting and screaming the entire meal and had no concept of being in a restaurant. Patrons around us all looked displeased by the noise but nothing was said by any of the staff. After everything was said and done there were no apologies for the things that happened, the lack there of, of information on the menu, the ability to check on us and make sure we could order our meals or if things were even tasting good.. and then to top it off the wine mix up. Not a word, just a here s the bill, how would you like to pay I don t recommend trying this establishment if you are looking for good service or would like a pasta dish after 7pm.

This restaurant is such a cute and cozy atmosphere and the food was so delicious! We loved it. We ordered the olives, burrata (soo good), spaghetti & meatballs, mushroom gnocchi (must have!!), and stuffed ricotta pasta. Service was super friendly and fast! I had a really nice lambrusco to drink. It s so awesome to have a new go-to restaurant in Abbotsford, will definitely be back! Kid-friendliness: They actually have a great kids menu! This would be a great place to go for a meal that parents AND the kids will love. My son said the spaghetti and meatballs was even better than mine (wow rude)

Great food and great service, we had a group of 6 and staff was on the ball.. Fast service... Food was amazing... great drinks. Looking forward to being a regular here.

What a gem in our city! With this being a new restaurant there are little things that need to be worked out and tweaked, I went in with that mindset and was amazed! Food was delicious, service was great and the atmosphere is fantastic! We ate downstairs and loved the feel, casual and it fell like we were in a winery in Italy! Such a lovely place that Abbotsford was missing!

Maybe it was that our reservation was late.. despite being reminded through email and text to tell them if we were going to cancel.... Maybe it was the freezer temperatures downstairs which made us have to leave our jackets on...... Maybe it was the 3 different servers putting random things on our table before we met our actual server..... Maybe it was the congregation of servers and or bartenders socializing against a bar while more than a few tables were waiting for service..... Maybe it was the undercooked pasta and over baked bread? Im willing to bet its the $7 bottle of sparkling water that gets you 3 glasses combined with the over $100 bill for two people.

Let me start by saying that this is my very first 1 star review. I never understood why people would ever take their time to leave a negative review until today, I felt compelled to leave this review for the diners to be aware. As I ve worked in service industry myself, I m quite forgiving in honest mistakes, as long as it s not intentional. Quick summary: 1. I mentioned to the hostess that I am part of the Supper Club ($350 upfront membership), to receive the 15% discount. 2. Food was good, although a bit on an expensive side. ($60+ before tip for 1 cocktail, 1 cocktail, 1 light snack & a serving of pasta) 3. After paying the bill, I quickly confirmed that the discount was applied to my bill. 4. I was told by my server it was applied to individual items and not to the whole bill, as in the discount was taken care of. 5. I felt a little strange and checked the menu price. 6. In fact, I was charged the regular pricing and the discount was never applied. 7. I mentioned that, and the server went to talk to the manager. 8. Manager was on her POS for 5min or so before ever coming to tell me what was going on. 9. I stood up and was about to leave as I was frustrated and no longer wanted to waste more time when it s apparent that they cannot communicate between colleagues and to the customer. 10. She, the manager stopped me and said I need you to stay and pay, since I refunded you , seeming very annoyed (which I was not told of, since she never decided to take time to explain why I was charged the incorrect amount and was caused inconvenience). 11. She also went on saying that I am partly at fault for not mentioning to every single one of the staff that I am a Supper Club member. It was my assumption that a hostess would communicate such information to the relevant staff. 12. At this point, not wanting to spend another second conversing with this lady, I told her to charge me the regular amount. 13. She still looked and sounded very annoyed and basically said I still have access to your credit card so that s okay . I don t understand why she had to stop me and tell me to transact again, if she had the ability to charge without me being present. This was my second visit and I feel ashamed of the fact that I ve recommended this place to a few of my friends after my first visit. Diners be aware.

I dont mean to be dramatic but this was the best meal of my life. I dont even want to tell anyone about this place, I just want to keep this to myself.

I have gone twice now and have had a great experience. Drinks were great both times. Erin was our server the first time and she was very kind & relaxed. Felt friendly with her immediately. Will was my bartender the second time and he was very professional & polite. There was even a customer discrepancy that happened in front of me and I was very impressed at how well the manager handled it. Ive only had one dish so far but it was delicious and Im excited to try more. This place feels like a breath of fresh (cultured) air in Abbotsford and Im rooting for their success. Cant wait to go again.

This place has potential to be good, but I dont believe that is any time soon. I did like the general atmosphere but the food and the service was not great, even with giving them grace for being new. They were out of our first choices. The server told us it was because everything is prepped on Tuesday so they run out by the weekend (we went on a Saturday). This would explain the taste of everything. Our second choices arrived cold. I had the spaghetti and meatballs, the flavour was there but the pasta was extremely undercooked and the meatballs were overcooked but somehow still disturbingly pink. The portions do not match the price, not even in todays standards. Our server only took our order and gave us our bill. We werent able to flag them down in the hour and a half we were there, nor did they ever stop by the table. My wife and I ended up on the toilet after our lovely dinner. I would say if you are planning on trying this place out, give it a few months because as it stands now the quality is at par with the frozen fare of the old spaghetti factory across town.

Was excited to check this place out but it was not a good experience: Cons: - Took an hour to get our food after ordering - Poor service, server didn t even check in and explain the wait during the hour we waited for food - The portions are incredibly small for the high prices (see photo of $26 feature pasta) - Pasta was cold - Salad was so bad that we returned it right away, and then we were still charged for it on the bill! - It was quite cold in the basement dining area Pro: - Decor and glassware are nice and it s a nice vibe/atmosphere

Wife and I decided to try out Amici, and had a good experience. A great atmosphere, clean, nice music, and friendly staff. Food over all was good. 3/4 items we got were great! I did send back one item as it was extremely bland, but the staff handled it well and replaced it without question. Yes, it sucks when you order something that isn t good, but how the staff handle it is an easy way to turn that experience around, and they did great! Will definitely be going back.

It is with a heavy heart I give Amici a 3 star review. Realistically it should be a bit lower, but Im empathetic and hope that improvements will be made. Food: cavatelli was good. Waitress recommended not getting my first choice which was the pasta classico as it is apparently bland. Other reviews confirm this to be true. Why is it on the menu? Change the sauce base from a white sauce, to a classic tomato based sauce and call it a day. Onions, garlic, capers, tomato paste, anchovy paste, marzano tomatoes, salt, sugar, fresh basil. Boom. Appetizers were insanely expensive, and after reading other reviews im glad we passed on ordering. How do they charge 17.50 for meatballs when I can get a large, delicious, soft and flavourful, perfect meatball at Via Tevere for 4.50? Main portions were also very small. $28 for the cavatelli and about 10 conservative bites. If I had to guess Id say less than 60g pre-cooked of pasta. The focaccia was great. Wine selection was super, and we enjoyed the one we chose. Dessert.. oh god. Tiramasu. Its a classic, the recipe is as old as time, tried and true. Dont change it. And if you do... dont call it tiramisu. The great debate is whether to use either Lady Fingers or Pavesini style cookie in the tiramisu. Nobody, ever, has thought coffee flavored pound cake as a replacement. Flavour was lacking, needed more liqueur, and texture was bad. Like dropping a chips ahoy in your afternoon cappuccino and drinking it down along with the last sip. God save us. Service: waitresses.... everywhere. Im under the impression shirt colour indicates role, however without knowing this and seeing all the waitresses walk around or on their phones, while we wait and wait and wait just to order is wild. When they did come to the table, they were very kind, however knowledge of the menu can be improved on. Atmosphere: walked in and thought I was in the wrong place. Other than the odd piece of art, there was no indication you were about to eat at an authentic italian ristaurante or osteria. Perhaps the truth hidden in plain sight. I am giving it 3 stars in the hopes they improve. I would love to see this place succeed and become a regular. Cheers

I just wanted to say, huge round of applause to the bartender working saturday night. He was personable, kind and very friendly. He has a big goofy smile and a great personality. Really improved my mood! The drinks he made me were delicious, paired really well with the food i had ordered, and very well presented! This man deserves a raise!!

Wonderful experience trying out this new restaurant in Abby!. Love the ambience. Food was delicious. Service was excellent. Definitely will return!

Went on a Saturday, early evening. Shared a couple glasses of wine and cocktails. Appetizers, couple mains. Everything tasted great! The Tomato Fennel Butter is amazing. Had the meatballs and my wife had the stuffed pasta. I was very pleased. Felt satisfied with the price of everything as we anticipated going out and spending more than we would at Old Spaghetti Factory. I enjoyed my time and will certainly go again.

Great food but slow service. Still had a nice time wish there was an option for 4.5 stars

So amazing! Wonderful atmosphere and such kind staff. Loved it!!

Amazing experience! Delicious food, top service, and great vibes. I appreciate how much attention was put into the small details of the space, the music was on point and felt very welcoming and warm, the colour palette is beautiful, and love the plants. Lead chef walked around to tables to make sure everything was good, overall 10/10 recommend!

We attended Amici for a date night, and were excited to try the menu. Unfortunately the menu fell flat. First of All - the choices for an entree my spouse and I made, were sold out. ( we were there at 7:45pm on a Friday night) reservations will still coming in past 9pm, with little food options. Then we chose a second option off the menu, those were also sold out! The menu is small. I then got the PASTA CLASSICA AL FORMAGGIO which was very bland. I added chicken, and the chicken was the best part of the meal. My husband didn t end up ordering a meal since the menu had very little options. We really wanted to love this restaurant, however this experience was disappointing.

I placed this restaurant on such a high pedestal with great expectations of its success. However, after my second visit this has now been knocked to the bottom. I arrived around 8pm and attempted to order food at 8:30. To my surprise the dish I was excited to order was sold out. This was a regular menu item dish which is sold daily. I reviewed the menu again and, another 15 minutes later, selected another item, again sold out.. the remainder of the menu items sounded bland and didn t appeal to me, so I was left without a dish for the night. I was terribly disappointed that a restaurant of this quality would run out of a regular menu item, even as people were still arriving for dinner at 9:30. This was also on a sunny Friday evening, which one should expect to be busier. The service was terrible, unfriendly waitress who could have even told us they were out of food before we were seated.

Wonderful addition to downtown Abbotsford. Try the Italian salad!

The six of us had such a lovely evening celebrating two birthdays. The beet and burrata appetizer was a hit. All of our pasta dinners were served hot and tasted like someone who cared about the ingredients and preparation. The wine selection was top notch and we topped off our evening with the tiramisu. Can t wait to come back.

Great service. Head Chef Jae and his team cook amazing dishes. We always enjoy the food and the great service from Tatum and the staff. Food

Well well well. Finally we got over to Amici to try it out. 10/10 everybody, Thank you! We entered into a beautiful space with warm energy and delicious smells. Very impressed. Service was good, the server was new and she communicated it right away, (luckily she was serving a table of service industry guests), so all went well and she was lovely! (Thank you Jada) We started with the burrata per tutti and i must say, it might have been my favourite dish. Being a big cheese and beets gal myself, i could not get enough. Tasty burrata, with pickled beets, greens and citrus. I Could have ordered another! We moved on to the pasta fatta amano which was a beautiful tortellini feature pasta in a green herbal sauce and was beautiful and delicious. The pasta classica al formaggio was simple and delicate. Some places are big on heavy sauces and intense flavours. I enjoying this dish because it didnt need to try so hard to impress. And lastly to finish we had an order of the Kale caesar salad with the rosemary focaccia. The salad was citrusy and bright and the focaccia was delightful and comforting. Drinks! Lovely mixed concoctions courtesy of the downstairs bar. (i must sit downstairs next time so i can see the action!) We sipped on : The Cuj, a tequila, aperal, passionfruit dream Italian Black: Averna , Amaro montenegro, lime and ginger beer (My favourite) Negroni sour The black italian sports car. All delicious offerings! Thanks again Amici Fam! Keep killing it! So happy to have you all here!

The menu is the perfect size, the portion was a little small but everything was very tasty. Definitely going back

Straight up properly made Italian. Condimente. appropriately salted. good timing on delivery and food is hot and aromatic. Good wines, solid Negroni. Good baseline Amaros. Clever interior designed to accommodate. Looking forward to the outside deck. Excellent service team with obviously a good culture as relaxed and friendly. Highly recommended.

My first time and my wifes second. She had the same thing as the first time she went but said the sauce was very watered down. The Bolognese and meatballs also tasted watered down. Like another review, the meatball was undercooked which my wife pointed out and was sick the next day. The burrata for everyone was very good, the mains had good flavour just not enough of it. Menu selections could be better. Caprese over a Caesar. No wild boar ragu, seafood pasta, or Florentine steak. I probably would give it another chance, but the kitchen needs consistency and needs to taste the dishes

I really want to say good things about this place. I was super excited to try a new restaurant in town. Typically, there are growing pains just like anything new. The service was really slow when it came to anything you needed.. a menu, a drink, your order, or even just a question. They also ran out of their feature pasta item, which was disappointing. I heard from others that this was a common occurrence that proved to be true. The food also took forever to come out. We like to share different menu items.. so we tried the burratta (YUM), the mushroom gnocchi (SUPER YUM), and spaghetti and meatballs (NOT SO YUM). The spaghetti was completely undercooked..not even close to al dante. When we complained to the server, there wasnt much of an apology, and I had to ask to have the spaghetti removed from the bill including a drink that was ordered and never served. I will be back one day, but Ill wait until some of the growing pains have been resolved. Cheers

Amici is doing its best to emulate the atmospheric restaurants of Vancouver; however, it still has a long way to go to achieve what a successful VanCity restaurant has to offer. At this point the only thing Amici offers is a good-looking restaurant, with some good cocktails. The food isnt worth the large sum of what you will be spending, which is really disappointing. I ordered the Bolognese + Meatballs but was disappointed by how underwhelming it was especially since its such a straightforward and classic dish to make. And yes, maybe Ill just stay home and make the dish to save myself the $100+ I would have regretfully spent. There is room for improvement from the staff. Two hostesses tried to seat my group at a table for four when the reservation was made in advance for five people... Just a lack of critical thinking. Maybe with enough constructive criticism the food & service will improve. In this economy, people are still willing to spend good money for good food. For now, it seems as though this restaurant is only good for instagram clout.

Very nicely appointed space. Bright friendly service. Very tasty food. Only Italian wine but a good selection. It is a little on the noisy side. Three different seating area main floor, the wine bar downstairs and the patio each has its own style and atmosphere I don t think you can go wrong. Portions appear small but very filling.Would definitely recommend

The food was mediocre and too overpriced for Abbotsford. Our mains took over an hr to be served and they weren t even busy. I would not recommend going here and would rather drive out to Vancouver for better Italian food.

Great place, patio is excellent!

Okay, this place is awesome! My wife and I stumbled upon it looking for a place to have a drink. What an awesome setting!! We were seated in the basement at the bar and enjoyed their absolutely delicious focaccia and a cocktail and some wine! A real authentic Italian feel, we loved it! Can t wait to go back.

Ordered the Chicken Parmesan sandwich. The chicken was undercooked and pink. I told the server (I had to call them over because they didnt check in on our table), and they removed it from my bill, which I was thankful for. However, I went to the washroom, and overheard some of the servers complaining about the fact that I had sent the sandwich back, which I thought was highly unprofessional.

My husband and I and our friends had a very enjoyable meal at Amici. We shared the Buratta and beet appy and the Rosemary and garlic foccacia which was delicious. I had the lemon ricotta tortellini, so good, and my friend had the eggplant, which she said was delicious. The 2 men had spags and balls. We shared the tiramisu for dessert and it was perfect. The only disappointment was the coffee as not Italian espresso, the machine not in yet, but French press and not strong enough. Our server was friendly and attentive but not all over us. Would definitely go again. You need a reso as it was really busy by 7 pm. Vegetarian options: There were several options that would appeal to vegetarians, the eggplant dish being one. Kid-friendliness: There were a couple of toddlers there when we arrived at 5:45 but I would say not really a kid place. Caters to an adult crowd. No child options on menu Wheelchair accessibility: Main floor is wheelchair friendly.

I had ordered the pasta classica al formaggio and it was a 1/10. There was absolutely zero flavour. Zero. However, the bread it came with was delicious. My friends had ordered the other pasta dishes and they all strongly enjoyed it. The drinks were also very good. The atmosphere was great.

Service was quite poor in this restaurant. We went for lunch with friends and they were quite slow to serve us even though they werent busy. Our server really didnt know anything about wine which isnt good if you are a wine bar. It was a cool day and since it was just sandwiches and soups we would have liked to have soup but the one soup they had they were already sold out. The food was ok but it would have been nice to have an espresso afterwards, but I didnt see any espresso on the menu which is weird for an Italian place. We might try it again for dinner but undecided.

We ate at amici during its first two weeks of opening and loved our experience! Staff were friendly and still figuring things out at that point. We had drinks, the buratta appetizer, foccacia, main pasta dishes and took home a tiramisu cake. Everything was so tasty - especially the bread and chef s feature pasta. This is what Abbotsford needs. We will definitely be back again.

Food was okay. With a party of 8 half the table was left wanting more flavour out of pasta. The Salmon dish was definately the best with the most flavour. Service was also outstanding, we had last minute +1 to the table and they didnt hesitate to accommodate. The drinks too were amazing. Food

Went there this past Friday. I ordered the mushroom gnocchi and it was delicious! The serving size is a bit smaller than Palliotis so dont expect to take leftovers home. The service needs some improvement. Our server took a bit longer to get me my drink compared to the rest of my party. Another server handed my to-go order to another person in my party and didnt say anything to me. I only figured it out once I realized I hadnt gotten my take out order. Would go again but service needs work.

Perfect date night spot! Delicious Italian fare. Nice place, great service and the food is so good. Tiramisu, stuffed pasta and fresh burrata, was so delicious.

Great, authentic Italian restaurant. The quality of the food was top tier. A limited amount of menu choices, including only 35 daily servings of the special pasta, ensure the quality is dialed in. The cocktails were all created with care and were fantastic. On top of this great service and ambiance! Make sure to make a reservation as seating is limited.

Great restaurant. had the Bolognese and meat balls.nice atmosphere and outdoor patio

We had a wonderful birthday dinner at Amicis. We shared a few appetizers....all of which were delicious! We all enjoyed our dinners. Such an great evening. Looking forward to having lunch one day on the patio. Dianne

We had the hand made stuffed pasta absolutely delicious and the roasted half chicken in red wine sauce. Everything was perfect from the drinks to dessert! Definitely coming back and sitting in the down stairs lounge, it has a very speak easy feel!

Had the pleasure of dining here this past week. Such a long overdue restaurant for Abbotsford. The food was as delicious as it was beautiful, you can see how much work goes into each dish.. reasonably priced as well. Will definitely go back for more

Love this place! the vibe is just what downtown needed. The staff are friendly and the food is a 10/10. Highly recommend trying it out if you are in the area.

Food is absolutely incredible - easily one of the best places in town! Everything was fantastic, vibe, service, drinks, and food! We can t wait to go back.

super impressed! the Cavatelli was awesome

Pasta, incredible. Environment, dope. Attention to detail, 100.

Great experience at Amici the atmosphere was excellent. The food was delicious and the drinks were great. I recommend the amaretto sour. Marissa did a great job making us feel like part of the family and took the time to walk us through the menu and make some recommendations. She even juiced extra oranges to make a drink special for my wife as the bar ran out of OJ. The portion of pasta/chicken was a little light for the price but also those are the times we live in now. I ll definitely be coming back. Overall Amici was more than expected and I ll be asking to sit in Marissa s section each time.

Disappointing. Food and service was a huge miss unfortunately. Two of the main courses not available. Meatballs were very hard and dry with a strange sauce underneath. Eggplant parm was burnt to a crisp on the bottom. Also came breaded with a taco sauce which was confusing. Server had no idea what the menu items entailed. I realize it s new, but also no manager in sight to help them, so would suggest some training here so they are better equipped to answer questions. Tried to order a gin martini but told they had no vermouth or olive juice. How does an Italian restaurant not have a jar of olives? We were also told the same about Parmesan cheese. Restaurant was very cold quite a few patrons kept their jackets on while dining. To be this unprepared maybe better to wait to open to public.

Food was fantastic. Out of the park! Atmosphere is fresh and pretty. Definitely check them out

A really good experience. We love it here. Totally recommend going for the full experience ( appie, dinner and dessert).

Had a great first experience given it was the restaurants first week. The food was perfect, and the prices were fair given most of the pasta is hand-made. The cocktails were great and the selection of drinks was very good. Joy did a great job serving us!

Went back a 2nd time for a much better experience. Food was still great. It wasnt as busy so the wait was much shorter. Our server, Joy, was absolutely wonderful to talk with and super friendly; will be requesting her next time. Amazing experience, cant wait to go back again.

Super good food and drinks! Love the atmosphere. Will be a regular for sure here.

The food we got was too salty and the portions were so small , I ate it in minutes. I felt like we were dining in a restaurant for young hipsters. Service was fine.

Had dinner here last night. One word - Incredible! I had the handmade feature stuffed pasta - it was a delight of lemon ricotta, basil butter and pickled shallots - so fresh and delicious! The atmosphere on the patio was the BEST in Abbotsford - bar none. I will be back! I do feel like the staff are still getting their feet under them, but that is understandable. The food and atmosphere are worth the little bit of extra patience. Try it - you will not be disappointed.

Food was really hit or miss. I was really excited to try this place and it came up a bit short. But I think this place has a lot of potential. Pros: - focaccia, cavatelli dish, any chicken (roast chicken and chicken added to pasta), kale/caesar salad, pasta noodles seemed good quality and fresh - service was fantastic, not sure her name but she was very diligent with checking in with us even though they were busy, but she was not overbearing Cons: - tagliatelle cream sauce was bland, we wanted to ask for salt but thought that might be a bit rude.. also poor sauce to pasta ratio, could ve used 2 or 3 times more sauce - one of our dishes did not have fully cooked pasta, it was still hard in the middle and had to be sent back. Super rookie mistake and should never happen again. - half way through dinner time (~8pm), they sold out of 3/6 pasta dishes (handmade pasta, gnocchi, lasagna) and sold out of the one beer they had on the menu. Luckily they did have another beer, not on the menu, available. - portion sizes were a little small but as someone else said, these are the times we re living in Overall, the food that was good was very good! Especially the focaccia!! And the food that was a bit disappointing, I think could be tweaked to be great. Service would be 5 stars for the server, I gave 4 because of being sold out of 4 items on an already small menu. I think that is just down to poor planning though, maybe because they just opened a couple weeks ago. I m really hoping Amici improves upon these issues because Abbotsford needs more restaurants like this! And I d really like to come back and have a better, more consistent experience and I think (most of) these issues can be easily resolved.

Good food but very small portions

Incredible! The food was outstanding. I had the mushroom gnocchi, probably the beat gnocchi Ive ever had. Im not a mushroom fan but this was 12 out of 10. The burratta was so well presented and flavours were well balanced. Our server was great as well

Fantastic new gem for the community! The focaccia is out of this world, and they make a great negroni. Friendly staff, awesome atmosphere! Would recommend for date night or meeting up with friends, or even sitting at the bar alone!

We went here last week with a group of 6. We were seated right away in the downstairs portion of the restaurant . Our server was amazing but not overbearing at the same time. She took her time to explain everything on the menu well. However , two of the pastas which were pre decided by our group were sold out at 8 pm. I am assuming, they are working on how much food to make per night as this is a new restaurant. But reading upon the other comments, it seems like it is a frequent occurrence. We ended up ordering cavetali which was amazing with chicken on the side. My husband had ordered Salmon which he thoroughly enjoyed. We were disappointed with the lack of choices of appies available on the menu . We ordered two sides of bread one with meat and one with butter, both were basically the same other than one with meat . They do need to add more appetisers which are shareable amongst the group than just breads and salads. Dessert option was Tiramisu, which was an solid dense piece of cake. We absolutely devoured it. We hope amici team can make some of the changes suggested by many of the critics in the near future. We would love to come back once patio opens up with our kids. Perhaps a happy freindly kids menu with some pizza options.

Exceptional restaurant- the kind of place you would expect to be doing well in downtown Vancouver but here in Abbotsford! The food was of incredible taste and quality and the service was just as amazing. This was our first time here and was very impressive. Perfect portions focused on quality taste, loved every bite! Thank you for an incredible evening! Great setting as well.

Beautiful restaurant. The service was so alow though, we were there from 530pm to 8pm waiting for our server to come back many times. The lasagna sold the night before and wasnt made again for the next day? They have a kids menu which was nice. The focaccia was really good Charcuterie was good Amici spritz and limoncello spritz were good Bolognese and meats were good but you only get 2 meat balls Classica al formaggio was very bland and dont recommend. No flavour Insalata caesar was good Kid-friendliness: Kids menu

Tonight was date night with my fiancée. We enjoy trying new restaurants and hidden gems. This restaurant is relatively new and wanted to give it a try. We were seated promptly, though the atmosphere and design seemed a little underwhelming. Almost a cold feel to it. We tried the focaccia bread which was quite dry and what I refer to as a gum cutter. With enough butter it will soften up. Good taste though. Some main course menu items were not available and sold out from the day prior. For our main we went with the traditional tagliatelle. The presentation was great, but our hopes were dampened by an undercooked homemade sauce, where the taste of flour was very obvious causing it to be quite bland. The chicken I added to my pasta was extremely salty, that being enough said on that dish. Service was fair, the waitress was kind but not overly insightful with the menu. That was a little ray of sunshine in the basement we sat in. Bathrooms are very small, be prepared to wiggle your way in so you can close the door behind you. Overall a middle of the road experience at best. Food 2.8/5 Service 3.3/5 Atmosphere 3/5

Was excited to try this new spot and my birthday seemed like a great occasion for it. My husband made the reservation and added that we were celebrating a birthday. We were seated upstairs which was very loud with the music and mainly large groups. I found my husband and I had to shout to have a conversation. Later, when we asked about what it was like downstairs, we were told it was more of a lounge vibe for date night and upstairs is more family style - which we were confused why we weren t sat downstairs then. Our server seemed new and inexperienced; understandable with the restaurant being so new. It took a long time for someone to stop by our table with water and take our drink order and our appetizer order was entered wrong, but was a quick fix. The cocktails and wine were good, although the limoncello spritz was more St Germain than Limoncello. The focaccia was good. We asked about the eggplant parm and the server had not very nice things to say about it- which was concerning. We ordered the salmon instead and it was good. Both came with a cream/basil sauce poured table side on both our salmon and pasta which felt awkward for the server as she jumbled the tray and the little sauce dishes. We ordered the tiramisu for dessert. Their only dessert. And it was extremely underwhelming. It had FOUR layers of ladyfingers and hardly any custard. And whatever mascarpone custard was there was very thick and dense. It felt more like a cake and I couldn t eat more than a couple bites. And from all that there was absolutely ZERO acknowledgment of it being a birthday celebration. Not from hostess or server. Why have the option to add what you re celebrating in your reservation if there will be no mention of it and be seated at the least romantic table in the restaurant? Overall, fairly disappointed in the experience. I hope it s just from the newness as I really want to see non-chain restaurants succeed but I likely won t be back until I ve heard of some improvements and the kinks are worked out.

I had high hopes for our dinner at Amici given the many great opening reviews it had. For us, the food was good, but the overall experience/service fell short. We were seated at an odd 4-seater table in the middle of the upstairs dining room, even though I had made a reservation for 2 people. All other tables were booths against the walls, so our table felt awkward being the only one in the middle. It took a while for anyone to come and help us once we were seated, but there were many service staff walking around. We right away ordered our drinks when our server came. The same server came back 5 minutes later and asked if we wanted to get started with anything and we ordered an appetizer and said we were ready to order our mains as well. She then asked if we wanted to order drinks, but we had already ordered drinks from her earlier. She left to figure out what happened to our drinks, without taking the rest of our order. Literally 30 seconds later our salad was at the table. We asked if it belonged to someone else as there is no way it could be sent out that quickly unless it was pre-made or meant for another table. It was also odd to start the meal without our drinks. We were halfway through the salad when we finally got our drinks. The amici spritz that I ordered was great the highlight of the meal. The Amici Italian Salad was also good especially the dressing. We then had to flag down our server to finally order our mains. The ricotta and lemon stuffed pasta was tasty. The portion was small, but the flavor was there. Could have used more sauce as some bites had no sauce. The Bolognese and meat balls had good flavor but didn t feel much different than a plate of spaghetti at home and the texture of the meatballs was very dense. I was also disappointed that they were sold out of the marinated olives. The Italian dinner experience was not the same without. On the reservation it asked if there was an occasion and I noted that it was for a birthday. This was not acknowledged by anyone at the restaurant. Usually, there is some acknowledgement such as a glass of champagne or dessert or even just a Happy Birthday by the server. It was odd that this just went unnoticed considering it asked on the reservation platform. If the experience would have been better, we probably would have stayed and ordered dessert or another drink, but we just wanted to leave. Overall, we were not wow-ed by anything. For a dinner that cost over $100, we expected a better experience.
