When I ate seafood pasta, especially Eating shell, I felt I chewed like a stone.. be careful
We love celebrating milestones as a family and one of those is my Nephew's 2nd Birthday. We got him a cake due to being heartbroken 'coz the Timezone in UP Technohub was already closed for a long time already.
We are thankful for the staff of Amici for being so so extra -- they sang him a song, got him balloons and a blue candle. Not something that everyone would do but we are really grateful that they allowed him to run inside the restaurant and just be playful.
He was even given a complimentary Oreo Gelato. Awwwww. Thank you so so much. I would personally come back for other food items.
Favorite cousins came over the house third day of the new year. They left before dinner and a female cousin and I had a craving for a salad. Tried Pancake House, they didn't have any at that time and we ended up at the nearby Amici.
The craving for salad (Oriental Salad) became a craving for soup and a craving for Flatbread Pesto Pizza. In short, what was originally planned to be a snack of Taco Salad turned out to be heavy dinner.
No regrets there. Both salad and pizza were impressive (I don't normally patronize this brand). As a matter of fact, I did so enjoy them that we were slowly finishing them for almost two hours while we were reliving 2019
It was a good way to greet the new year, Amici.
Love their pasta and oven baked pizza.
I have been to Amici several times and was never disappointed with the food and service. Generous serving and gives value for money.
Ambience is really cozy.
My favorite dish that we ate here is the Chicken pesto pizza. The pesto is perfect for the white pizza sauce and the grilled chicken fillets added to the nice flavor. The Il supremo pizza is also good and taste very italian. The Spaghetti ala carbonara is also delicious. The noodles are cooked al dente and the sauce is just right for my taste. We ended our meal with a scoop of italian gelato.
I like amici for it's reasonable prices and food that is just excellent. Overall, a very good choice for those looking for a restaurant that delivers good Italian cusine

Your go-to place for an italian food haven.
Our go-to-place whenever we crave for pasta, pizza, and italian chips! Accommodating and friendly service crew. The cakes (by caramia) are good too!
We ordered 1 pizza (Tutta Carne) and 2 regular-sized pastas - Spaghetti alla Carbonara and Spaghetti ai Tesori del Mare (not in photo). There were 4 of us who were dining in and the food serving was just right for us - no leftovers yay! Service was really efficient. After ordering, we were told that serving time would be 15-20 mins. But surprisingly, our food was served just 10 minutes after ordering. The servers were all very attentive and polite, which added to our pleasant dining experience.
Great place for a quick, satisfying lunch. You definitely get what you pay for, although the price is a little mid-range.
The chicken can sometimes be a little bland. The gelato, though, is consistently delicious.
Service can be super slow during busy hours, but it doesn't get crowded when it's not payday, so you can eat in peace.
For merienda, my cousins and aunts all wanted to head over to Amici for some pizza and gelato. We ordered the 4 cheese pizza and the prosciutto and mushrooms. Personally, i love their 4 cheese pizza drizzled with a bit of honey. The combination of flavors is just too good and the crust is thin and crisp just how I like it. The prosciutto and mushroom in contrast had a tasty tomato sauce and had generous amounts of toppings.
To meal we all had gelato, I had chocolate it was rich and full bodied. A pleasant meal with good food thats affordable.

With the continuous increase of restaurants all over the Metro, representing brands born here and influx of international franchises, it is imperative to innovate to remain interesting. Amici though been around for a decade, still constantly release a new menu once in awhile.
Chef Paolo Moran got his creative juices going on this latest line-up. It’s a modern Italian menu, utilizing new ingredients not available in the past dishes. I had these just a couple of weeks ago, and I can’t wait to have them again soon!
Creamy Tomato Soup
Stewed tomatoes with basil and cream topped with bacon bits. Cup Php 120 Bowl Php 195.
Smoked Salmon Dip
Smoked salmon and fresh dill herbs all mixed in a creamy spread with a hint of lemon Php 390.
Chorizo Puttanesca
My favorite! Sauteed chorizo added with the classic Puttanesca. It has garlic, and anchovies, a pinch of chili flakes, olives, capers, tomatoes, and basil all tossed in linguine noodles. Regular Php 380, Php Grande 725.
Salmone Affumicato (Smoked Salmon Penne)
Smoked salmon with tomato sauce, cream, and lemon. All tossed in penne pasta and topped
with fresh basil. Regular Php 398, Grande Php 770.
Italian Seafood Rice
All their seafood in one dish. Shrimp, sole, mussels, clams, and scallops stewed in tomato sauce and rich buttery rice. Php 395
Salami and Blue Cheese pizza
Fresh slices of salami, crumbled blue cheese, olives, and a few anchovies on mozzarella cheese and pizza sauce. Php 525.
Classic Ube Cake
Layers and layers of light ube chiffon with ube halaya filling topped with beautifully whipped cream for an authentic Filipino treat. Slice Php 135.
Favorite is the shrimp agli olio! Pasta quality is good though the regular plate is not enough, for the price of 400 the serving needs to be adjusted. Definitely try the set meal ( Rome, Tuscany)

Sophie Says that Amici is a must-go-to place!
We were hungry - well the hooman was hungry so we ordered the Ravioli di Spinaci and Lasagne al Ragu.
The hooman was not disappointed. The Ravioli was practically melting in his mouth - a delicate balance between spinach and cheese while the pasta in itself was tender. There was that bite to the pasta and that creamy, delicious sauce - it could use a bit more sauce (so addicted to sauces) but in itself, its already a 5-star dish.
The Lasagne also did not disappoint, maybe it was too italian for me - drawbacks of going to an italian place for lunch huh? - but it was also delish. I don't know how they manage to get the right mix/ratio between pasta/meatsauce/cheese - but they nailed it.
And to top it off - dessert. CaraMia Gelato cakes are amazing - I always get the Banana Blast - at 140bucks a slice - it's a steal. Nothing ever beats dessert - but Amici captured my heart and paws with their ravioli - which lead to me trying to make it from scratch - but thats for another story.
And that's what Sophie Says!!!
clean and spacious place is the first thing that you'll notice , loved the interior as well , as you of course will dine Italian , you should also feel the Italian ambience . All the staffs are very attentive . You don't even have to call them for a water refill .
no complaints about the food , it taste good but really nothing special . my favorite part is the gellato :) so many flavors to choose from .
A bit pricey but their servings are good for 2, unless you're like Kirby like me. 😂
My favorite pasta here is their Penne Rosa. Tomato based but is also creamy and has bacon.
They also have cara mia inside so what better way to end your meal than ordering and enjoying a scoop of ice cream. ♥️
Very good food. Pick anything and it is good! I am truly impressed with the quality of the basic food stuff like the tomatoes in the pasta or the sauce, the rice, the bread - that is what makes their food taste fresh and easy on the stomach. You dont feel heavy after a meal. Ideal to have a mid shift lunch or dinner and get back to work.
The only thing would be that it is hard to get the attention of the staff from the outside seating area However, the service is prompt, courteous and professional.
My birthday treat - Amici's Seafood Diablo! Since I love seafoods and pasta with real tomatoes and not just pasta sauce, I got the solo order for this treat! Didn't fail me! Every piece in this meal is just enough. Enough saltiness, enough oil, just the right amount of seafood toppings and interestingly spicy. I loved it!
The crew is very accommodating and the ambiance is perfect!
I love this place because it gives me that nice and quiet ambiance every time I need to focus on something. They offer free wifi which is definitely a plus. I love their cakes and gelato - creme brulee is ♥️
Eating in Amici is always a pleasure!👍
It's Italian fast food-- delicious and affordable!
My fave pizza has got to be the chorizo e spinaci-- I like the richness of the chorizo! I like their tartufo pasta, which has a strong mushroom taste accented by the salty prosciutto...
But this is the first time I've tried one of their cream based pastas, a little heavy handed on the sauce... Too heavy cream sauce and very dense pasta... And I didnt feel like the peas went with the dish... It's just not to my liking so much...
Sorry! But I'll definitely be back and try other items next time!😜
Haven't dined at this branch yet but we buy cakes and gelato from them. Polite and attentive staff, always ready to provide assistance and explanation. Their products are a bit on the pricey side but still affordable.
Went to Manila for work...the place is located right next to our office at technohub. Had gone there once the first day. ... from next time onwards i was a regular there. Special mention blue cheese pizza with honey, spinach crepe and pizza with bacon. Must visit if you are at quezon city

Amici has one of the best sans rivals in town. I also tried their rouge cake and it was delicious. Although quite expensive, its worth your sweet tooth after a meal. Good for your cakes and gelato cravings.

I am not a huge fan of Amici's pizza and pasta dishes (with the exception of the blue cheese flatbread), so we always go straight to the list of entrees. Today, we ordered the Pollo Arrostito and the Pan Grilled Pork Belly.
I love the Pollo Arrostito--half a roast chicken with a generous serving of vegetables on the side. I wish more restaurant dishes were as balanced as this dish. The Pan-grilled Pork Belly was good as well, but the pork was sliced way too thinly. For the price, it is not good value for money.

we had our Thanksgiving dinner here on Nov 26, 2015 & i must say, i fell in love..we had their Spinach Artichoke as antipasti, the Spaghetti Red Vongole E Gamberetti for our pasta, the Pepperoni & Three Cheese Pizza..& we had CaraMia's Mango Passion for dessert!!lastly, Iced Tea to chug down the wonderful meal my partner & i had..
It was indeed a night to be thankful for!!
When you're craving for Carbonara this is the best place you can go:)
Can't get enough of their creamy carbonara which is also good for 2.
Aside from that you can also have your pizza and yummy cakes from caramia:)
I'm writing this review for the cakes of Caramia inside Amici in Technohub. Ice cream cake has been a tradition in our family that we can never miss. We usually buy ice cream cake from everywhere whenever there's an occasion. Caramia's ice cream cakes stands out tho. For all the cakes we've bought there, we were always satisfied. They also have an option to add a greeting written on chocolate.
We tried their group meal which was P1800+ for 8 persons which consisted of 2 pizza, 4 pasta and 2 pitchers of iced tea. I was so busy chatting with and enjoying the company of my friends that I forgot to pay attention to the dishes served. What I can't forget though is the sooo yummy carbonara. Tip: if your companions are the voracious kind, this becomes a meal enough for only 6 persons.
Must try : Italian Chips, Prosciutto Al Tarfutto and Tutta Carne Pizza. The serving size is good for sharing plus the Cara Mia , which sells good gelato is located inside the cozy restaurant, which is a good spot for dating . Good Italian food . 😊
Love the food ! Great pasta but a bit expensive😂 servers are friendly. Ambience is the best. Comfort room clean but should have separate for staff
Amici is always my go-to place if I want great Chicken Parmigiana. I just loooove how they make it there. Not too salty, and not bland, either...and add some chili flakes and parmesan cheese...then it's perfect!
I haven't tried a lot on their menu, but I will surely come back if I start craving Italian! :)
For all pasta and pizza lovers, you can never go wrong with Amici. Their diverse menus of pizza and pastas are packed with flavors. For the price they charge, it is a great value restaurant with good distinct taste.
All foods here are very tasteful and easily get your tummy full. You can eat them without rice and have alcoholic drinks here to make chit chats more entertaining. I have forgotten already the flavors I tried here but there's only one thing I wanna say for sure for going back next time: memorize all the flavorful dishes I want to taste about.
Must try: Chorizo e Spinaci Pizza, Linguine al Prosciutto e Tartufo & Seafood Chowder Risotto.
My Food-O-Meter:
Taste: 4/5
Price: 5/5
Service: 4/5
Affordable. Usually noisy, not the best place to go on a romantic date. Best enjoyed with a big group.
I like their food in general, salmon cream pasta is heavenly and.perfect.for.sharing along w another pasta.dish like.vongole to offset the cloying.cream. Forgot this dish pictured but it has mango salsa and.pork.chops? Haven't encountered a bad dish from amici.
This is a cool place! ❤️
We ordered a family meal.
Its quite expensive but the the taste of their pasta, pizza, meats and desserts were so perfect!
The ambiance is relaxing and I enjoyed the christmas music!
I highly recommend this place!
Amici serves one of the best Pizza Margheritas for my taste, and I've had my fair share of Margheritas. It tasted so Itakian and if you're an avid pizza monster like I am, one pie just isn!t enough! Their pomodoro pasta tasted a bit bland though. The pizza tasted more tomato-ey compared to it.
For dessert I really love their gelati selection at the Caramia. Where one scoop of it can be so filling already. Their gelato cake is really nice as well.

One of the nice things about Amici's Technohub is their brick oven; you'll see it in the middle between the kitchen and the service counters on your left as you enter. That's how you know you're getting Italian-style pizza, whose trademark is the flour-dusted, bubbly, and slightly charred rim.
Even if purists say Amici isn't completely authentic, I like their food anyway; they do have originals no one else has, like the seafood "chowder", a risotto-style rice that's shaped into a mound, toasted on the top and bottom then surrounded with a light creamy sauce tasting of clams and mussels, with a few mussels as a garnish.
The pasta bolognese is pretty good too, meaty and NOT tomato-ey, which is a correct execution. The sauce coats the spaghetti nicely and can be shared among two.
Pizza may arrive in a plate, or on a wooden board placed on an high trivet; trendy and pretty to look at. We ordered a "four seasons" which had mushrooms, olives, artichokes, and sausage meat. Great crust.
There are some new additions to the dessert menu, like a puff pasty + ice cream combo, served with a double-scoop, and their delicious gelato shakes. The pistachio, at P220 equivalent to the cost of an entree, is worth the occasional splurge.
This is a fairly big branch in an uncommon location, but it has ambience, lounge electronica music playing on weekends, and plenty of entrees and desserts to choose from.
Blue Cheese & Honey Pizza was superb, pasta was good and staff we're okay. Just don't grab my plate too soon next time coz I was still using the oil as my dip haha! Will come back soon ;)
Amici is one of our go-to places for a fast, good quality Italian bite to eat. A real family place, the dining floor is arranged simply with tables grouped together. But what's really eye-catching is their open pizza kitchen where you can see your order made fresh and popped right into their ovens. Also noteworthy is their impressive gelato bar with colorful flavors to choose from, as well as yummy ice cream cake creations. Must orders are their Margherita Pizza, Spinach Ravioli, Cannelloni and Roast Chicken. Dessert is a free for all since all their options are fab. it just doends on what you're feeling like going for. Always consistently satisfying with great value for money, Amici is a great Italian 'fast' food joint.
