Wow ššš Blown away by the delicious food and the incredibly lovely staff. We feel very lucky to have discovered this place. We ended up going for dinner two nights in a row (the full length of our trip) and have no regrets. Thereās a stunning courtyard perfect for a function or a larger party too. Thank you Manuel, Jackie & Abel (and the gentleman who got me a wine during a very long zoom meeting) for looking after us Aussies! We canāt wait to go back!
When I and my party arrived we were seated promptly and given menus + water in short order. We ordered within 10-15 minutes of being seated, but had to order both our appetizer and entrees in one go. The service was pretty fast and the wait staff seemed to be in good spirits. We received our entree which was a margherita pizza (which I unfortunately didnāt take a picture of) and it was pretty good a solid 3/5 in the flavor department. As for the entrees:
Chicken and mashed potato with lemon and capers:
This actually tasted quite nice, but the piece of chicken and overall portion was so small for a dish of that price. 4/5
Lasagna:
The lasagna came out piping hot and was promptly devoured because it tasted so good! A bit heavy on the salt, but no complaints beyond that! 5/5
Bolognese:
Really good portion size, bolognese sauce was full of flavor! 5/5
Risotto al funghi:
Probably the largest portion size of any item my party ordered, but this had no flavor. Itās as if the salt and seasonings were used on all the previous dishes and nothing was leftover for this. 1/5
The food overall was really good, the service fast, and despite the prices being so expensive we ended up paying less than $200 for our 4 entrees and pizza. Thanks for the meal!
Ok these pics didn't do it justice cuz we're all hangry and had 0 patience
cozy Italian place to dine in and we're happy to find some place like this in BH. Super satisfied with the food, staffs, and romantic ambience!
This restaurant serves food that tastes like love. I had here the best Gnocchi outside Italy! We really enjoyed this place and it felt like home. Thanks for having us, Abel!
great food with great ambiance. valet parking is the best option due to the area. I also recommend the tiramisu! Thanks, Cafe Amici!
Manny the bartender makes a wicked whisky sour and the greeter, is very professional!! Had a chicken Caesar salad that was cutting-edge delicious as well! Thanks, guys!!!!
Beautiful CafƩ, the cuisine wasn't completely authentic but the ambience helped seal the deal. It felt very similar to the eateries you'll find all throughout Italy, the only detail that broke the illusion was of course, being in Beverly Hills. Not too pricy, but not inexpensive; the food was good enough for it to be more than justified when the cheque comes. And finally a place that allows reservations, we arrived late but the hostess was very accommodating. We will be back!
Covid: Great distancing, felt very comfortable, better then the dozen or so we have been to since distanced dining began.
Such a wonderful hidden Italian restaurant inside a hotel in Beverly Hills. Highly recommended.
The ambiance is very romantic. The pizza with truffles was good. The risotto is average.
The welcoming host was nice, but the server was super annoying with every five minutes coming and checking if we finished our plates. I get attention to guests is important, but that was overwhelming and becomes awkward when's so frequent.
Otherwise, it is a cozy Italian place.
A nice little restaurant tucked away attached to a hotel. The food was great, and the service was outstanding.
Little hidden gem with such a cozy ambience and great authentic Italian food! I felt inclined to review because everything is always amazing from the food to the service. We live nearby and occasionally stop by. We always get the lasagna dish and itās so fresh and delicious!! Highly recommend for a cute date spot or gathering with friends
Excellent dinner, service and the meal were out of this world..
This place has been my favorite restaurant for over 20 years. My mom lived around the corner and we'd eat here nearly every night when I'd come to visit. She always ordered the Pasta Alla Checca and I'd get the Pollo Al Limone or the Margherita Pizza. Love their white bean dip and fresh tomatoes with warm flatbread to munch on while waiting for our meal. When Martin was there, he'd always made sure to stop by the table to greet us and chat with my mom. When I got married and had kids of my own, walking together to Trattoria Amici was a tradition we continued when visiting "Grandma Barbara". The staff is always welcoming and always made us feel special. The food is incredible, lovely ambiance, a real hidden gem. Thank you for the memories, Cafe Amici.
Lost for words, this dinner was an amazing experience. From the ambiance to the service to the meal, everything was perfect. We all shared bites of each otherās meals and there were no bad plates. Highly recommend as a cute date spot or girlās night dinner
What a great restaurant! Beautiful neighborhood vibe but with an elegant touch exactly where it needs to be. Hidden away from the hub bub of WeHo its exactly where I would go if I were nearby and wanted a nice time out!
