One of the longest standing Italian restaurants in Bedford, and easily one of the best. They have an extensive wine selection both red and white, and we chose the Australian "metal label" shiraz 🍷 which I highly recommend. All of the ingredients they use are fresh, and the special dishes of the evening, crayfish tail starter and full baked sea bass, tasted absolutely divine. My partner has coeliac disease, and they successfully catered for her and she really enjoyed both her Insalada Caprese starter and her main course of lamb chops - cooked and seasoned to absolute perfection. They have easily earned their spot on our list of safe restaurants for sufferers of coeliac disease. For desert, I couldn't resist the offer of homemade cheesecake, for which they have their own secret recipe. It was to die for. My partner opted for the Fragola Miele, which is comprised of yoghurt, honey, mixed seeds, nuts and fresh strawberries. It's rather similar to a Greek ambrosia desert, only with a lot more delicious components. They hit a home run, for sure. You can bet we'll be back before long. Come and enjoy an evening of pure Italian-Mediterranean dining excellence here at Amici, a restaurant that is truly head and shoulders above the competition here in...
Read moreWe had a beautiful evening at Amici. The perfect place for a date night and an evening of escapism. The atmosphere was bustling, lively and felt like we were on holiday. Bedford is blessed with many Italian restaurants, however, Amici feels special. The food is classic, homemade and delicious. What made it particularly special was the passion and attentiveness of the staff. Even though we arrived at 8pm on a Saturday night to a busy restaurant with a birthday party in full swing, we were still made to feel important and valued. The people who served us were so engaging, friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back. If you want a date night or a big party that will make you go home with a full belly and a big smile on your face, then Amici facilitates that. Highly recommend the tiramisu. Thank...
Read moreLove, love love this place! I have been a fan of this place for over 10 years yet they never fail to get better and better even when I don't see any more room for improvements. Amici is one of those places where you can never get bored of the menu! The atmosphere is remarkable, relaxed but not too casual.
For starter I had Cotze Arabiata which was Mussels cooked with tomato and chillies sauce which I loved and recommend! For my main I had Pollo Don Pepe which is a big pice of chicken cooked in a mushroom, bacon and white wine sauce! I asked for extra bacon which they provided strait away unlike some other restaurants whom make a big fuss when asking for food alterations.
Sayed the chef (not sure if thats how you spell his name) is one of my top 10 favourite chefs in UK! If I could, I would eat here...
