Amici\'s couldn\'t have done a better job!!! We had a plated dinner with duet entree.... our guests were blown away! You would\'ve thought the steaks were fresh off the grill. they were soooo tender and juicy. Everything was delicious. I even had people comment on how good the salad was! Everything was fresh.\r\n\r\nThe staff was very accommodating and professional. During cocktail hour there were several servers who came downstairs to bring the groom and I appetizers to enjoy while taking our photos. They even got us refills on our drinks during dinner so we could enjoy the time with our guests and not at the bar! \r\n\r\nAt the end of the evening, my husband and I were going to have to take down & pack up rentals for the separate rental company to come pick up the next morning and our banquet captains offered to do it for us!! \r\n\r\nThere is HUGE value in the product and service they offered. We didn\'t pay a ridiculous amount of money, but we received the best of the best! \r\n\r\nTHANK YOU!!!!

I would highly recommend Amici's Catered Cuisine. The staff was very professional and worked very hard. My husband had a to-do list for the reception and he laid the list down on the table to set up the microphone and the Amici's captain picked up his list and completed all the items on it. My husband came back looking for the list and she asked him what he was looking for, he said he had a list of things to do and he couldn't find the list." She said, " I found your list and completed all the items on it." My husband was so grateful and appreciative. The staff even made the bridal party a plate of hor d'oeuvres from the cocktail hour, that we missed due to having photos taken. I was very impressed by their thoughtfulness. The food was outstanding and we received many compliments about it. Kuddos to Amici's for making my reception a wonderful experience!

They are so much more than a catering company. They care about making your night amazing. First of, their food is phenomenal. Everybody at the wedding raved about how amazing and different the food was. Secondly, the day of the wedding all of the crew was so helpful with everything and helping me set up. They ensured me what i wanted would come to life and that I should relax and enjoy my day. And sure enough they made me vision come to life and even look better than i what i imagined. They catered to my husband and I the whole day and it just felt so nice that they took the extra step to ask if I needed anything a drink or appetizer. They could of just provided amazing food but they did so much more. They made everybody feel special. And filled everybody stomachs up with excellent food. I would HIGHLY recommend you go with them! You will not be disappointed.
GUEST




Sylvia was amazing, she was so helpful in making sure I had everything I needed. I felt like a priority, the staff was fantastic, the presentation was great, not to mention everyone raved about the food. Worth every penny!
GUEST




Would recomend to anyone with a special event coming up!! Made my family and friends, myself and husband very happy!
GUEST




All my guests raved about the food, which to me was amazing because usually the food is the one thing at a wedding that is a disappointment! They were always available and quick to respond to my questions!

Amici's was great to work with and the food was amazing. I received so many compliments from my guests about the food, they loved it! Diana was great, she made sure we had appetizers when we got to the reception and made sure we had everything we needed during the night.
GUEST




We had a sit down wedding in St. Pete Beach, FL. We thought Amici's did a wonderful job helping coordinate the food and wedding details. We were very happy with the service and the quality of the food. We would definitely use them again for a future event.
GUEST




All I can say is this company knows their stuff. Julie and Sylvia were always prompt with returning email, which was great because I work night shifts so on my days off I would write emails during the night and read the responses when got up for work. The food was delicious,the buffet we had was beautiful and the staff made you feel like you were family and not just a client. We got an ice sculpture as well and that was just an awesome bonus on their end. Diane was so sweet and the rest of the staff made sure our plates were full. Highly, highly recommend them.

GUEST




The food was absolutely wonderful and I enjoyed talking with Sylvia and Julie so much! They always answered my questions and never made me feel as if I was bothering them. They came on time and helped set up any last minute requests that I needed completed. All of my guests loved the food. It was hot and there was plenty to feed everyone as well as leftovers. The bartender was great and very professional. I couldn't have been happier to have them cater my wedding. Customer service goes a long way and Amici's is the epitome of that philosophy. Thanks so much ladies for everything you did to make my day wonderful!
GUEST




AMAZING food as well as their impeccable service!! My husband is in the military and was deployed so my wedding date had to change quite a few times and they were always accommodating and very friendly!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone having a large event!! They're fantastic!
GUEST




Excellent service and great food. The staff were friendly and professional. Thanks for a memorable event!
GUEST




I loved this company so much that I'm referring everyone I know to them. :)
GUEST




The staff was amazing. They really made my day special. I would definitely use them again.
GUEST




Great making sure that any concerns with my gluten free allergy was taken care of! Also great help with the candy bar and center pieces set up
GUEST




Amici's was great about incorporating our cultures into our food, which was important to us. We were even able to send them family recipe's and they copied them.
Everyone was very pleased with the service and the quality of the staff on the day of the wedding. They were very professional and pleasant people!
I do feel that they were a bit expensive for their services. The cost of food climbed quickly and we ended up paying more than we had expected. But we were pleased overall.
GUEST




I literally CANNOT say enough good things about Amici's. EVERYONE on their staff is fantastic! Sylvia and Julie answered every question I had with a smile (and there were a lot) and followed up with me on everything I needed so I didn't have to worry about anything. When their staff came on site they were very professional and friendly and all had a great attitude. They were helpful and nice to all of our guests and took care of the groom and I even more. At one point during the night I mentioned that I hadn't gotten to try one of our appetizers, so they saved some of all four for me and the groom and made a plate at the head table for us. Also, when they were setting up, they mentioned that they thought our buffet tables may look nicer and would be easier for guests to navigate if they set it up another way and it looked beautiful! I love that they made suggestions for us instead of just leaving it how it was. We also loved that Amici's was a "one stop shop"- they took care of our linens, cake, food/appetizers, and also set up our centerpieces, placecards, favors, etc. On top of that the food was amazing and we got SO many compliments on how good everything tasted and their prices were cheaper than almost everyone we found. We would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone, they are fantastic to do business with!
GUEST




Amici's is AMAZING!!!! They catered my daughter's wedding reception this past weekend and I couldn't wait to get on here and recommend them! The food was delicious, but what really blew us away was the staff. Sylvia and Julie were SO helpful, answering my hundreds of questions before the big day, and the team working the party that night were AWESOME! So kind, helpful and professional! Thank you all for making my daughter's special day so special!
GUEST




ONe word.....AWESOME! Great food, wonderful staff, and amazing service! Hired them for my wedding at the beginning of April and they were amazing from start to finish!
GUEST




Amici's was wonderful! The food was much better then typical wedding food, we had the chicken picatta and the london broil and they were delicious! Everyone that worked there were all professional and friendly and my favorite part is when they served us as the bride and groom!
GUEST




AMAZING! They completely made my wedding amazing. They set up all of my centerpieces, organized the reception beautifully, and responded to every question I had.
GUEST




Amici's did a fabulous job. Our buffet was decorated gorgeously and all of our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was. It was perfect and I couldn't say anything negative about them at all. We had the Chicken Picatta and London broil. It was all yummy I wish I could have eaten more if my dress wasn't so tight! :) YUM YUM YUM def use them for your wedding :)
GUEST




Amici's did a fantastic job catering our wedding! The food was delicious and they crew was very helpful! The dinning room was also very beautiful! I highly recommend their services!
GUEST




Amici's is amazing! From planning to execution, they really care about their clients and it shows. Sylvia and Julie made me feel confident during the planning process. Those ladies got me through a lot of stress and they were always very nice and professional.
Let me say, I am a bit spoiled on good quality food. And at the tasting it's kind of hard to tell with the small portions and limited tasting choices, but on the wedding day I was completely amazed! The pasta bar is definitely a must have... all of our guests loved it and, personally, I wish they had a restaurant that I could visit to have that food again! The chefs were really personable and the serving staff always made sure my new husband and I had everything we wanted while taking care of all the guests as well. They were a really top-notch team.
Not only do they have delicious food and great service, I really love that Amici's goes beyond standard catering by offering all the extra details (linens, cake, chairs, decor). They do it all, and they do it well! All of our requests were accommodated with ease, from ceremony props to special menu items. I feel that I made the best decision in hiring Amici's and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone for any occasion. They will really take care...
GUEST




Amazing! I can't say enough great things about Amici's. From the first time I met them, they were fabulous. The tasting was fantastic. All of my many, many, many questions were answered immediately. no question was too crazy for them. The day of was a success thanks to them. I got married at Tampa Bay Watch. Amici's set up the table and chairs and even put my centerpieces together. they ensured that the wedding party had appetizers while taking pictures. once it was time for dinner they escorted my husband and I to the buffet, to make sure we got to eat, they even had an extra plate of appetizers set aside for us. We had the pasta bar.....AMAZING!! guests are still talking about how amazing the food and staff were. very reasonable in pricing too. THANK YOU!!
GUEST




I cannot say enough about how amazing Amici's was! Every email was answered quickly, usually within minutes. Julie and Sylvia were both extremely friendly and easy to work with. Starting with the tasting, our experience was perfect. On our wedding day, Amici's went above and beyond to make our reception run smoothly. Waiters regularly checked on my husband and me (and my mom) to see if we needed anything. They set up the food tables so attractively and our cake table was gorgeous! And the food...so delicious! I wish I had time to eat more! We received so many compliments on dinner. I seriously cannot say enough good things about our experience - Amici's took so much stress out of my life by being easy to work with, affordable, and amazingly delicious.
GUEST




AMAZING!! I really can't say enough about how wonderful a company Amici's was to work with. They get back to you VERY quickly when you have questions or concerns. The decorations at my wedding matched my theme perfectly... they were beautiful! All our guests loved the food (which made me very happy!) and the staff was SUPER nice and helpful to us! They made sure we ate and our glasses were always full. :)
GUEST




We went to a few bridal shows and this catering company always had a long line waiting to test their food. We tasted it and did our sampling with them and it was amazing! We went with the pasta bar which gave a great variety of food for people and our guests still talk about our food at our wedding! Very reasonable too.
GUEST




I would like to compliment Amici's Catering for a job well done!. They did an amazing job for my daughter's wedding. Not only was the staff professional, hard working and attentive, but they set up the room in a way that exceeded our expectations. The food was high quality and delicious, exactly like the food we were served at a tasting that we attended last summer. At the end of the party when they cleaned up everything was left spotless. I will definitely recommend this company! Amici's YOU ROCK!
GUEST




The food was great! We had a buffet set up and the service was great. The decor that use on the buffet tables look fabulous. All the waiters were very attentive and we got lots of compliments about the food. I wish I could give the value 10 stars everything from linens to cake cutting was included. My husband and I so happy we choice Amici's. Throughout the planning process everyone was so quick to answer any questions. Because of this I always felt like we were in good hands.
GUEST




We found Amici's Catered Cuisine to be the easiest part of our wedding to organize. The staff at the office and venue were friendly, responsive and knowledgeable in what they do giving us a peace of mind.
We were originally recommended to Amici's based on past customer experience. The food selection was extensive and they were flexible with allowing us to make changes within our budget. Price value is excellent and best of all their service is exceptional. Amici's were organized from the get go at our venue and stayed right until the end before packing up and leaving. Our guests were commenting on how great the food and service was and were asking us the name of our caterer. We have seen other catering companies at other weddings who will pack up and leave as soon as the dinner is finished. Can't say enough about this company, it is no wonder they have been top of the ranks in their industry for many years!
Thank you Amcici's for making our wedding such a beautiful event!
GUEST




ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We couldn't have been happier! You guys fulfilled our dreams perfectly! Thank you for making our day that much more special!
GUEST




Our guests raved about the food and the service, Amici's was just awesome.
GUEST




Amici's was fantastic. The food was great, the servers were so friendly, and the room looked beautiful. They were so profressional and easy to work with. The food tables looked beautiful. Guests were raving about the food. Thanks for a great wedding.
GUEST




Highly recommended! My wedding party was beautiful and the food was fantastic!!!
Very Friendly staff and coordinators. I saved alot of money thanks to their honesty and integrity. Debbie and Jim
GUEST




Amicis catered my daughter's wedding. Most of the guest were from of town. We are still getting rave reviews on the food and the service.
GUEST




Amici's was absolutely wonderful. The food and service was OUTSTANDING. Everyone always says that the food is better at the tastings than the actual wedding, but this was not the case here. Everything was perfect and the guests kept complimenting how wonderful the food was and how fast they were able to go through the pasta bar (best part). The ice sculpture was an added bonus and looked great! Thanks Amicis!
GUEST




We tried many different catering companies but the food all tasted like mass produced food (very cheap). Amici's food is the exact OPPOSITE! There food is wonderful. However, the best part by far was their service. They made sure they brought Hors d'Oeuvres to us and the bridal party to make sure we got to eat the ones we paid for. They also do a buffet style dinner so classy by bringing people up by table so that people don't have to stand in line. They are by far the best option when it comes to catering because of the taste of their food and their classy service.
GUEST




everything about them is amazing. So many compliments on the food. Definitely recommend. My husband and I did taste testings around all of the tampa bay area.. Amici's is definitely the best.
GUEST




Wonderful! I have been getting so many compliments about the food since my wedding. Amici's is also great because they take care of everything for you if necessary -- i.e., linens, chair covers/sashes, glasses, cake, and alcohol if you need it. They made my wedding both memorable and easy. They were also very responsive if I ever had a question about anything. I would recommend them to anyone!
GUEST




My wedding was two weeks ago and people are still talking about the pasta bar! It was the best pasta bar I have ever seen and the presentation was amazing. The staff were very friendly and professional as well! Very easy to work with!
GUEST




The food and service of Amici's Catering was completely wonderful! I am still hearing about how delicious the food was at our wedding reception. In addition, Amici's provided linens for all our tables and decorations for all of their food service tables, which lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating. I didn't give a full rating only because the food service was a little delayed at the beginning of the reception. I would definitely hire them again!!

I used Amici's for my wedding reception catering. I was very impressed with the service that they provided, and the food was absolutely delicious! There wasn't one person at the wedding that didn't enjoy their food. I was very pleased with our ice sculpture and all of the decorative set up that Amici's did for us. They even set up my place cards and favors for me, with some help from diagrams I provided for them. I was very pleased with their service.
GUEST




Kiki and his Mom were Fantastic. Food was excellent, planning process was very easy with their detailed team they have!
GUEST




We came to Amici’s after interviewing with another top-rated caterer. Despite the high reviews the other caterer has on this site, we weren’t impressed with their food, and we really felt like a number at their group tasting. They didn’t pay any attention to us until we were walking out the door. In addition, they were pretty slow at responding to any inquiries I had, which I didn’t find acceptable.
Amici’s on the other hand was fabulous from start to finish. We had a private tasting with them where we were the only couple in the room. We were both a little bit wary that the food would be better at the tasting because the chef was cooking just for us, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. The food at our wedding was fantastic and even better than at the tastings! We picked the filet with demi-merlot as one of our options. At the tasting, the steak they gave us was just a small little cut, but at the wedding it was a significant piece of meat and perfectly cooked.
The in-office staff was so easy to work with. We primarily worked with Sylvia, but if she wasn’t around, Julie would jump in and answer any questions I had. They were extremely prompt about returning emails, and Sylvia was very detail oriented. At the original tasting (about 8 months before the wedding), we told her that we might possibly have a guest who would need a gluten-free meal. The guest didn’t end up attending, so he wasn’t on the spreadsheet I sent to Sylvia the week before the wedding. She immediately gave me a call to double check whether or not we needed that special meal.
The staff at the reception was also wonderful. They were all dressed professionally and took great care of the guests. Before the ceremony, they helped set up the escort cards, menu cards, and favors. The chef even came out to check on us during the reception.
GUEST




Working with Sylvia and Julie was such a pleasure. From the food tastings to the menu selections and several changes, they remained very helpful and professional. The food was hot, fresh and very tasty!!! Everything came out right on time during the reception. All our guests really enjoyed themselves. I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends.
GUEST




I used Amici's to cater my wedding reception at Ruth Eckerd Hall. I dealt specifically with Julie and Sylvia, both of whom were extremely helpful, pleasant, and easy to get a hold of. Amici's gave me so many choices and options for the food and worked with me on every single detail. I was very satisified with Amici's customer service until my wedding day when I was blown away by their delivery and execution. Amici's went way above and beyond to make my wedding day special. The set-up at the reception was beautiful. The captain assigned to my event was amazing! They literally waited on my new husband and I and our every wish and desire on that day was delivered to us. They even took care of some things at the reception that were not their responsibility. I can not express how happy I am with Amici's service. They were exceptional and I highly recommend that you use them for your event. I am still getting compliments on how good the food was and how all of my guests were so pleased with the food and service. Amici's will exceed your expectations and they won't let you down. Thank you Amici's for making my wedding day better than I had ever expected.
GUEST




I can't say enough about how great Amici's and their staff are to work with. As a local wedding industry professional, I have used Amici's for several of my client's weddings, so when it came time for my own, I knew I wanted them to cater our wedding too. They did not dissapoint! The food was absolutely wonderful and we still have guests telling us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Not only is the food great, but the staff is professional, friendly, clean, on-time and on-top of everything! We LOVE Amici's!
GUEST




Amici's did a phenomenal job. Nothing but compliments on the food....from the appetizers to the main course. They made everything look great and were wonderful to work with!
GUEST




Oh my goodness! Amici's was wonderful :) They were always SO fast to respond to questions, so accomodating when we wanted to make changes, and so professional & kind! We went to a couple tastings, but knew this was the place based on food taste and how nice they were. We had a St. Patrick's Day wedding and they made us corned beef and cabbage when we asked(which they hadn't done before), and it was the most amazing corned beef I have ever had! We also went with the pasta bar, which knocked my socks off :) I am still hearing from guests about how great the food was and my in-laws LOVED getting the leftovers haha. The best thing is that they thoroughly impressed my now husband, who is a big foodie (aka food snob) and great cook. I was worried that things wouldn't meet his very high standards, but he loved everything. All of the staff made us feel like royalty on our wedding day. If we lived in florida, I would go find each one of them and give them all big hugs.
GUEST




I imagine that every bride has at least one aspect of her wedding planning that causes more trouble than any other. For me, it was catering.
Catering prospect #1 had phenomenal reviews on this website - after our first few emails and a 45 minute phone call, I was very excited to work with them! Unfortunately, that was the last I heard from their event coordinator! When I emailed the head chef to find out why, she was so RUDE to me, I couldn't believe that she could stay in business with such an attitude toward customers. Nix that idea.
Catering prospect #2. We were prepared to go way over our budget to have them cater our reception. The food at their tasting was amazing, but customer service was very disorganized. I went weeks at a time between communication with them despite multiple emails and phone calls. Finally got a quote from them and realized that despite going way over our initial budget for the food, we would need to additionally rent all of the plates, utensils, trays, salt and pepper shakers, water pitchers, etc. It added a huge extra cost. Combine that with the lousy customer service (I finally decided that if I hadn't even signed a contract with them yet and they went 3 weeks without answering a simple question, how would I be treated when I was locked into a contract and had a deposit paid?). Nix that idea too.
At that point, we contacted Amici's catering. After my two previous negative experiences and a sea of mediocre tastings, I had resigned that we'd have average wedding food for our reception and as long as they answered my emails I'd be happy. Amici's way exceeded expectations on both of those fronts! When meeting with them go to over options, I found them consistently saying "Yes" to every question about whether they provided this or that or whether this or that was included. Their customer service surpassed everything I hoped for from our caterer. They promptly responded to every email and phone call and went out of their way to accommodate not one, but two personal tastings so we could perfect our menu. The trouble I had with other caterers before signing with Amici's was truly a blessing in disguise.
The food was wonderful too! We did the pasta bar for the wedding and we got a lot of compliments about how delicious it was and how fun it was to have the food made fresh and right in front of the guests!
Overall I would 100% recommend them!
GUEST




Amici's has the best price, the best food, and the best people working for them! Our guests are still raving about the pasta bar! The chef's were fun and entertaining! The food was amazing....not bland wedding food! They also include all the linens and such. Great to work with and were ready to help in any way! You won't be disappointed!
GUEST




Amici's did a wonderful job for our wedding. Anytime I sent an email or needed something they were very quick to respond. I couldn't have asked for anything better than their services.
GUEST




Amici's is the best catering company in the Tampa Bay area, hands down! The quality of the food is excellent, the pricing is very reasonable, and the staff were just wonderful to work with before, during and after the wedding!
We had a personal tasting appointment to try a few appetizers and entrees prior to signing our contract, and everything was just delicious! For the 9-10 months in between signing the contract and the wedding day, I dreamed of Amici's mini quiche Lorraines and spinach/phyllo triangles. That was just the appetizers!
We received so many compliments about the food that was served for the cocktail hour and reception. Everyone loved the paella station! Overall, the reception was just perfect thanks in part to the team at Amici's!
GUEST




Michael and his team of angels were outstanding in helping me plan my daughter's wedding.They were so helpful coordinating all our reception needs, from event rentals, decor and menu selections. My daughter and her fiance were nontraditional and had special requests that were all expedited with ease.
The food was delicious and the staff was exceptionally professional, friendly and competent! Everyone commented how beautifully the food was prepared and how kind and accommodating the staff was. The evening was flawless and the staff stayed and cleaned before they left for the night. I will recommend them to all our friends and family.

GUEST




Amici's was one of the preferred vendors recommended by our venue. Definitely high value for the cost. They were so helpful from the very beginning and were quick to get back to us. At they wedding they had enough staff on hand to make everything run smoothly. Everyone was pleasant and the food was amazing. I keep thinking about those mashed potatoes and chicken in mushroom sauce.
Thank you Julie and Sylvia for being patient with us through our planning process! One of the best vendors we were fortunate to come across for our wedding.
GUEST




Sylvia and her team did a wonderful job! They were always available to me when I had a question and did whatever they needed to ease my mind. The food was fantasic and all the guests complimented us on the food.
GUEST




This was the first and only caterer we even considered. Having been to two weddings catered by them before we were confident that they would do a great job and serve delicious food. In both they did not disappoint. The wedding went off without a hitch and I didn't have to worry about anthing - Amici's took care of it all. And with all the things included in the price they were not only the highest quality but also the lowest price! Can't beat that deal : ]
GUEST




Amici's is just outstanding. The office staff (Syliva and Julia) were just wonderful and helpful. Our banquet captain, (Gary) was awesome as well as the pasta station cooks, and servers, etc. They made sure our day ran as smooth as possible. They also do a lot of other things that many caterers charge extra for, for example we supplied our own wedding cake and they cut it without charging us, putting out our favors, lighting candles, etc. Highly reccomend. Can't go wrong with them.
GUEST




Amici's did an amazing job at our daughters' wedding. We had many compliments on the food, and the presentation exceeded our expectations.
GUEST




We used Amici's for our Nov. 6, 2010 wedding at the Mirror Lake Lyceum in St. Petersburg, FL. Overall, we were so pleased with the service they provided for us. The office staff was extremely professional and so helpful in a number of ways. The initial meeting and tasting were very enjoyable. In the months leading up to the wedding the staff kept in good contact with me and even agreed to allow me to pick up the linens early myself to give me more time to set up on the day of the event. There was a moment of stress and Julie in the office completely comforted me and put me at ease, for which I will be forever thankful. When the day of the event came, the food was amazing. Many of our guests are still talking about how good the food was. I am so glad that i am the bride that ate. :) Finally, they also provided additional assistance with lighting candles, placing favors, providing accent materials for event tables, and did an amazing job with our beautiful ice sculpture. Not only would I use Amici's again, but I would most certainly recommend them to anyone.

Amici's catering was helpful from the beginning to the end. All the employees were very professional from the office to the reception. The food was amazing and most of the guest went back for seconds. They have a price range for everyone. We would do business with them again.
GUEST




Amici's is amazing!!!! You could not ask for a company that better understands how important service is and how important someone's wedding day is. We had a small event (35 ppl. with all vendors & guests) and it was perfect!! There really was nothing that went wrong (can you believe that!!). And the quality of the food was on par with any fine dining restaurant you could choose. And that is eating it in the restaurant, not having them cater it. Here it is three weeks after the wedding and I am still hearing from the guests how awesome the food was. There is no one else that I would ever use after having Amici's cater our wedding. They also did my cousin's wedding which is how we learned of them. Thank you Amici's for everything that you did and continue to do to make the receptions that you cater amazing!
GUEST




I loved working with Amicis! Sylvia gave great advice about the menu and steered me in the right direction when I was unsure about the type of reception that I wanted. Then, when the wedding day came, our captain improvised and worked with our venue when, due to a miscommunication, we were 6 cocktail tables short. He used linens that he had on hand, which we did not order, to dress extra round tables to make up the difference. Also, the pasta bar and hors d'oeuvres were amazing! We received so many compliments from our guests about the food, and the price per head was much less than other catering companies that we considered. Overall, the staff was professional, the decorations were tasteful, and the food was fantastic!
GUEST




Amici's did a wonderful job for my daughters wedding. Sylvia went through the whole process with us and really did a great job. We had a private tasting and it was great no pressure. The staff at the reception worked so hard to give our guests a wonderful meal everyone enjoyed. It looked beautiful.
This is the second time I have used them for a wedding. It was so nice to walk into the reception and have everything perfect. While we were fixing my daughter's gown before the introductions Diana was there with a plate of food for all of us. 5 star service Thank you Amicics for making my daughters day perfect.
GUEST




I would recommend Amicis anytime. They were perfect and I wouldnt have it any other way. Thank you so much!
GUEST




Amici's had some of the better prices, and still had excellent food and service. They were really quick to respond to emails, and everything was delicious! I definitely reccommend them, excellent caterers and delicious food! The servers were excellent as well, very professional and friendly!
GUEST




Amici's catered a reception for my daughter on Saturday night and they were nothing short of fabulous. It was an outdoor lawn event and, in spite of the heat, the staff worked as hard as I've seen anyone work. They were more than pleasant, more than professional; and the food was absolutely delicious. I cannot say enough about the success of the event and Amici's contribution. They made it seamless from the beginning to the very end which was late and way past the time they were required to be there. I would rate them a 15 on a scale of 10!
GUEST




Amici's pretty much had us at "hello," lol. Our tasting was such a wonderful experience. We had gone to meet with one caterer that just did a group tasting and then sat down with us for a few minutes after to talk about our specifics, another caterer who wouldn't let us do a tasting until we booked them (we had tasted their food at a bridal expo, but wasn't enough for me to feel comfortable), another that did a group tasting and didn't even take any time to sit down with us while we were there...and then we got to Amici's, we were the only couple booked for that time, they brought us into a lovely decorated room, brought us the items we had requested to try, left us alone to eat and talk with no pressure, and then sat down with us afterwards to discuss our vision. Throughout the whole process they really treated us in such a way that showed us how important it is to them that their clients are completely happy. We told them our theme and colors and the way they decorated the buffet tables was absolutely lovely and totally fitting. And their prices were amazing - we got 4 butler-passed appetizers, a buffet with chicken cordon bleu, filet mignon, a pasta bar with shrimp and sausage and a variety of sauces (they also made sure to accommodate for friends of mine who were vegan and had gluten allergies), salad, rolls, a coffee bar, basic linens (we ended up upgrading for a reasonable price), and our wedding cake for $34.95 pp. They also did plated kids' meals for us for just $12.95 and I don't remember how much vendor meals were, but it was very reasonable. Their wait staff was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, and since they had everything ready and plated for DH and I, we were able to sit down and enjoy our food while our guests were served. I have a big Italian family and good food was absolutely a priority, and Amici's definitely made everyone happy!
GUEST




Amici's was FANTASTIC!!!!! The food was amazing and all of our guests couldn't stop raving about them. The staff was very nice both before and during the event. Prices are fantastic and they really helped to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything with the planning process. I HIGHLY recommend them.
GUEST




Everyone at the wedding commented on how great the food was. I was overly pleased with Amici's and would use them again if I get the chance!
GUEST




Amici's was a great value, a pleasure to work with and provided high quality food and service.
GUEST




Amici's offers amazing wedding packages that can't be beat. Not only do they provide food, they take care of glasses, silverware, linens, and even the cake is included (through a list of outside bakeries)! Its practically a one stop shop, and the price is unbelievable. The food tastes amazing. The servers were professional and polite. They are very flexible and will work with you to make sure you are happy. Although we also had a wedding planner, Amici's made sure all the details with regard to decorations, linens, layouts, etc were taken care of prior the wedding. They were amazing to work with, and we intend to utilize their services for all of our catering needs in the future (birthday parties, etc.)
GUEST




Amicis did an absolutely wonderful job with the catering for our wedding! The food was great, but what really blew us away was the staff on the night. They were so lovely to all of our guests and really went above and beyond in regards to service. We heard so many wonderful compliments about how friendly and attentive everybody was. Sylvia and Julie were great to work with as well. I really cannot rate Amicis high enough - if you're looking for great food and an all-star staff, Amicis is definitely a top pick!
GUEST




Amici's was fantastic! Compared to many other caterers they were affordable. The food was delicious and many of my guests commented on this and asked for their cards. They allowed us to have 2 tastings since the groom was out of town when we needed to do the first one. They were incredibly responsive to phone calls and emails and were flexible with our requests such as moving their truck out of view as guests arrived to the reception and saving a plate of Hor'dourves for the bride and groom and they even bought them out beach side after our photos. They really went above and beyond and the reception!
GUEST




Great prices, great food! I was able to give my guests 4 butler passed appetizers, and a duet entree for waaayyyy less than anywhere else! Not to mention, the quality of food was wonderful! We were extremely pleased!
GUEST




They were AMAZING!!! I worked with Sylvia and Julie over the past year, and they helped me to design the perfect menu for our event. The food was fantastic and the service was even better! My only complaint was the preferred baker, A Piece of Cake. I would not recommend them, but Amici's has several other bakers to choose from. Definitely 5 stars!!!
GUEST




I wish I could give a rating higher than 5! Amici's is fantastic. My husband is a restaurant owner and knows they value of good food and what the real cost is. So we had some insight when going to tastings. We both agreed without a doubt that Amici's had the best quality meat, the best tasting appetizers, the most variety to choose from, and the best prices in town! Plus we really liked how professional and straight forward Sylvia is. Sylvia even arranged for the chef to re-create my husband's great grandmother's pasta sauce for our reception. The family sauce and all of the food was a big hit with our guests. Also, Amici's table decor and displays were beautiful and looked beautiful with my wedding decor.
GUEST




Amici's was amazing!!!!! I can't say enough about all that they did and how helpful and professional they were! At first I felt it was going to be too expensive but it was well worth the money!! I felt like I could just sit back, relax and not worry about a thing and the servers and staff just came in (early) and set everything up, both their stuff and mine! AND THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! All our guests were raving about the pasta bar and they even wrapped up all the leftovers for us! They also even let us bring back the linens the next day so that they didnt' have to break down the tables completely when they left and we could keep on partying :) I liked how it was all inclusive, and they even include your wedding cake with another baker you can choose from. They also even decorated with all kinds of details in my colors that mathed with everything! Also, they were always helpful and quick to respond to e-mails. You will not be disappointed if you go with Amici's!
GUEST




We are so glad we went with Amici's! We were able to work with them and get a menu that was perfect for us. Julie and Sylvia were great to work with. The food and staff were just amazing at the wedding! Everyone is still talking about the pasta bar and how much they enjoyed choosing their food and having it made in front of them. The staff was so nice and helpful. We would highly recommend them!
GUEST




I can't say enough good things about this company! We came to them 5 weeks before our wedding after finding out that our first caterer was a scam. Their prices were great, but on the day of our wedding we were blown away with their food and service! We are still talking to our guests about how great our food was!! I would strongly recommend Amici's - they are GREAT!
GUEST




Amici's was AWESOME!!! Every guest that I talked to LOVED the food!!! And they were so easy to work with!! We had 215 guest!! That's alot of people to feed!! The displays were beautiful, and they included an ice sculpture for free!! Just an added bonus. The women there were so easy to work with, their answers to all my requests were, "whatever you want to do." What more could you ask for when planning your wedding!!! They were wonderful and my family and I would recommend them for any function!!
Thanks Amicis'!!!
GUEST




I highly recommend Amici's - they were not only service and customer oriented, but a pleasure to work with. I literally did not have to think about one thing during my reception except that our champagne was not refilled. They were on top of it all and did a fantastic job. The one thing I will note was that the food was not as good as during my tasting, and my fiance was not impressed with it either. That said, I have received many many compliments on the food, so perhaps it was our plates? Regardless I would do it all again with them. That is a constructive criticism but by far not a complaint!




All of our guests agreed they have never had better food at a wedding! The food was amazing and the service was impeccable.
They brought us hors d'oeuvres when we were taking pictures outside and also saved us a plate when we sat down for dinner! That was the type of wonderful service on the day of the wedding.
The ladies you work with leading up to the wedding are just as wonderful! We had 3 different tastings, changed the menu a few times and they always got back to me very quickly to answer any questions I had.
I had one minor mishap. On the final day to submit my headcount, I notified them in the morning, then a few hours later on the same day found out that one of my guest parties couldn't make it decreasing the headcount by 3. The first lady I spoke with said there was nothing she could do, but it was eventually corrected since only a few hours had passed.

Amici's was great! They really were very flexible and very, very helpful. We all know that no matter how organized you are the day of the wedding is still very stressful for brides. They did everything they could to help relieve some of that stress. The food was great value for money and the service was wonderful.
GUEST




Amici's food was amazing-everyone at the wedding raved about the taste and all the different options they had. The price was very fair and reasonable for so much food and they really worked with us to make the perfect menu.
GUEST




The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. We did a seated dinner and was completely impressed that every meal was hot. They did an amazing job. No one walked away from our event hungry.
GUEST




Amici was really amazing to work with. They were professional, helpful, responded quickly, and were truly a pleasure to work with. Everyone remarked that the food was wonderful. The service was really great as well. I would not recommend the chicken francaise. It just wasn't delicious at the wedding like it was at the tasting. On the other hand, we chose stuffed flounder which we didn't have the opportunity to taste. It was spectacular! I highly recommend Amici.
GUEST




Yum. We got so many compliments on the food. The appetizers, in particular, received RAVE REVIEWS from everybody... and I heard from a few people it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. The portions were HUGE (I mean seriously HUGE!!!) I was not hungry the night of the wedding, so I only got to have a few bites of everything before we made our table visits. However, Beth and Shawna left appetizers in our room, so I gorged myself on those later. Sylvia, who works in the office, actually asked the Chef to re-create a dish we'd loved elsewhere and it blew us away that they were so thoughtful and willing! The staff was exceedingly friendly, too. (Although one of them was apparently a little miffed she couldn't add flowers to the candy buffet. :) I am ENORMOUSLY pleased we used them and would recommend them to anyone.
GUEST




Food was excellent and the presentation far exceeded what I expected.
GUEST




I was very happy with their catering service.The food was great and the servers where a huge help and kept everyone happy.Everything was set up,served and cleaned up to perfection. I will highly recommend them every chance I get.




Amici's offers one on one tastings, so you don't feel like you're just one in a crowd. Julie is extremely pleasant and instills a lot of confidence. My brother who ran a restaurant in Atlanta was also very impressed by Julie's knowledge and by the quality and taste of the food. They did not disappoint at all with our menu for our dinner. Every bite tasted so yummy, and they even provided a vegetarian dish for a guest that didn't inform us of his dietary needs. They are so great in what they do, so definitely book them if you have the chance!
GUEST




They were there for my every need. On the day they made sure everything went the way we wanted. Fantastic! Food was wonderful!!
GUEST




Amicis is amazing. You really get a bang for your buck. The food is incredible and the staff is incredible professional.

Very professional and great food, love the pasta bar!! I have know Amici's for quite some time and actually get to see the backside of what they do. Everyone is so professionally dressed, well-mannered, the food is very well presented and tastes awesome!!
Mike and his staff are the best! I have worked side by side with them for years and they always provide exceptional service and quality at affordable prices. And their food is the best! As a wedding coordinator and day of planner, I need to depend on regular communication and quality personnel from my vendors as well as excellent service. With Amici's I know they are always on top of things for my clients with open communication and regular reviews of client records. Their tastings with my clients are enjoyable and very personalized. Their private dining room allows for quiet conversations with my clients, as well as an elegant setting to sample their best dishes so my clients can choose their favorites. Their catering staff is always prompt, professional, personable and attend to every detail the day of the event. I'm always reassured when my clients book them, that their staff will go above and beyond in their duties to make the event perfect. I personally hire them for all of my catered events and highly recommend them to all of my clients.
