Reviews L’amico

Great night at l’amico - from the yellowtail tuna sashimi in a light lemon and oil dressing, the very tender char grilled octopus to a main of fish, seared scallops and a side of zucchini with preserved lemon, all dishes were quality. Excellent service, well priced and nice vibe. Highly recommended

Great place for lunch, service wonderful,staff very courteous, food delicious especially the salad, worth a visit to experience a delightful place and watch the world go by.

A special lunch celebrating a colleague’s birthday and anniversary at work.  It was a good place, a very friendly server and very good food. Thin crust wood-oven fired pizza.  We tried the truffle and mushroom pizza.  The crust was great.  And they were generous on the truffle.

I had a very delicious dinner last night at L'Amico. The staff was a little over eager and would not leave us alone, which was a little annoying since I was catching up with my friend, but the restaurant is recently opened so I understand that they're still ironing out the kinks. We ordered the heirloom tomato salad that had watermelon, arugula, ricotta salata, and red onion. This was delicious, but nothing new. We split the mushroom pizza and the summer squash burrata. The pizza's crust was a little too over charred and the mushrooms and squash were barely cooked. Still super delicious, which airy crusts and lots of flavor. To end the night we had the chocolate budino which was fudgy, rich, decadent and fabulous!

We had no plans to dine here, we were starving and the Buratta sounded delicious so we stopped in to grab an appetizer and ended up ordering dinner, and it was the best gluten free pizza in the whole city. It was busy, a Thursday night at about 7 and they got us in and at a table with no wait. Our food came super fast and it was so delicious! My partner who usually isn't a fan of gluten free was super impressed with their pizzas (which is extremely difficult to do he has his own Pizza reviewing hobby) all in all it was a great experience. We were packed in like sardines but it's NY so I would expect nothing less.

On a chain of trips to taste Italian and here I am doing an Italian brunch on Sunday. First of all, lots and lots of sunlight shining through the glass walls during my brunch. Visually very pleasing. We got the lemon ricotta pancake that is so instagrammable and it lives up to its fame!!! Honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect initially but I ended up being super surprised by the quality. Make sure you do reservations on WEEKENDS for pancakes. They are not on the regular lunch menu. The pancakes are jiggly, soft, eggy (in an appetizing way), and have a nice bit of crust on the outside. They are topped with maple crema (which melts when heated) and soft cinnamon apples, perfect for a windy morning. These pancakes remind me of soufflé due to their cloudy, melt-in-the-mouth texture. We liked to pair savory with sweet (because who doesn’t lol). So we had farmer’s pizza with two sunny side up eggs on top (to avoid the fight for sharing egg yolks). We asked our server to see if chef would be okay of adding one more egg on the pizza and we are happily accommodated. The pizza dough is got a nice crust with char at the exterior. Cheese was still melting when it came, and the sausage and the mushroom on there are quite umani. It meets the expectations of a good pizza, but not like exceptional. (Also not sure if authentic Italian people would be okay with having sunny side up eggs on pizza, but I am biased on yummy oozing yolks). So, I would recommend ricotta pancake as your priority brunch item. Their gelato flavors were also interesting: the stracciatella flavor I have never seen in my life and have no idea how it tastes. I, however, wasn’t able to taste due to a stuffed stomach (only if I knew ahead of time, regrets) but maybe others can save the space ahead of the time to try the gelatos.

Truly an aesthetically pleasing environment for a photogenic brunch. Waitstaff was very accommodating and was able to seat us 30 min before the kitchen closed. Food was ok. Nothing too impressive at that given price point but I do applaud them for having some healthy options.

This is an awesome spot. We wanted a quick bite and a cocktail before our show at Madison Square Garden and found this place on a google search. The woman working at the front desk of our hotel confirmed it was a great spot and she was right! We got a couple of drinks and shared the mushroom truffle pizza. Oh my goodness it was so yummy and the perfect size for what we were looking for. The bartenders were super nice and chatted with us as they mixed drinks. The vibe inside was awesome, very high end but with fair prices for the cuisine. I am definitely going to visit again and try their dinner menu. I highly recommend this spot!! W

Perfect for a family night out or even date night! We finally got to try this spot and so glad we did! Brussel sprouts and pizza were to dieee for! Their drinks were equally tasty too!
