If I could give more stars, I would! Tried this delicious food. I got the chicken parm and two pastas: fettuccine Alfredo and tortellini with rose sauce. It travelled well and the pasta was still hot when I got home (to Ajax). The flavour was incredible. The service was friendly and my order was relatively quick.Definitely will be going back!
This is the first time I've ever left a Google review in my life that's how AMAZING and WORTH it Amici is !! The food is phenomenal, the prices are GREAT which is rare to find right now. Everything is homemade and made with LOVE and it shows. What REALLY reels you in is the amazing service. You feel at home honestly. It was my first time going there and now I've got a new mama LOL. I would recommend Ciao Amici again and again and again !!
Rosé sauce penne with meat balls, and a side of salad. For 18$, this lasted me two meals. The sauce was nice, meatballs was big soft and juicy. Compare to my favourite place, the meatball was just as juicy and soft but a bit on a bland side (which is good, I just prefer a bit saltier food). Will definitely come back to try their meat sauce, and gnocchi.Only two staffs was on site but very fast. They’re very friendly.
If you're looking for a really, really good meatball sandwich with handmade meatballs on an Italian roll, then this place is for you, just make sure you get it with provalone. But, the thing that made me fall in love with this place was the owner, a lovely and warm Italian woman who says this place was her dream. The very first time I went there was a scorching hot summer day and, when arrived, there were an older man and an older woman there, the woman eating penne alfredo and the man picking up food for him and his wife. The owner made sure to talk to both of them, checking that the woman's pasta was good and chatting with the man about how things were going. He talked about how his wife was sick in bed and how he was bringing her some food to cheer her up. I then watched as his food was brought out and the owner said, "Don't worry about it, sweetie. It's on the house." She gave this man an Italian dinner for two at no cost to him, she ripped up the receipt right there and then and refused to take any money from him. That was the moment I knew I had to come back whenever I had to come back at every chance I got. We have to support local businesses like this with owners who care about their community. Plus, the owner basically has sauce telepathy! I ordered the gnocchi, but wasn't sure about the sauce I wanted. She said "I'm going to guess...rosie!" and that was, in fact, exactly what I was thinking about! XD
Oh boy, where do I start.First of all, this whole experience felt like I was home. The attitude, the conversations, the “vibe”, it really felt like the owners just let me into their home and I was one of their valuable guests.Hows the food?Its splendid, the quality, the portion, all above and beyond.. its just so darn good!Overall I would say this:If every food business had the attitude of these owners, the food business would be a beautiful industry.True gem

Based on the positive reviews, I thought I'd give this place a try. Now I'm a huge Italian cook, my family loves my sauces and meatballs etc. Went there today, my intention was to try their Veal Parm sandwich. I ordered it but also ordered their spaghetti and meatballs. The plan was, try the spaghetti and meatballs, then the veal. Well it didn't happen. Their servings are huge with a capital H. The meat sauce was very good, as were the meatballs, pasta was also spot on. I'm going to have a mini carb coma then reheat the sandwich later. Will post my thoughts on that then. So far I highly recommend this wonderful little spot. Owner (staff) were extremely nice.
I was blown away after my first order. I said yum after every bite, the food is divine!! It reminds me just how my mom used to make it. The owner is a wonderful lady who makes you feel like a part of her family. Everything about the experience reminds me of home and I love it. So grateful for this restaurant. if you haven't tried it, stop waiting, this is your sign to put in an order. The only thing you'll regret is not doing so sooner.
exceptionally awesome service and the food was great, the servings are huge. My new go to for Italian food.
Ciao Amici never lets me down. 10/10 for service and food every time!! I am usually the one to pickup but this last time I had my fiance go in just so he could experience the love as soon as you walk in. I am a die hard for the tortellini alfredo, I always regret not getting two orders even though the portions are HUGE. Without a doubt, any time we order my fiance who insists he does not like alfredo will be stealing my food! The gnocchi with rose is another favourite of ours, but truly everything is soo good! Their food is the type you have an internal war with, do I keep stuffing my face or do I save some for lunch tomorrow?? Constant battle and I never make the right choice. Do yourself a favour and just order double of everything!
