Really. Who doesn't love Amicci's? I've been going to Amicci's when it was a one dining room campy, hard-to-get-a-seat place. Now that it's grown up with a cool bar area and multiple dining rooms, it still has a hon feel and great, reasonably priced food. It's hard to go there without recognizing a good deal of the lunch crowd, so the conversation has to be low. I like the lunch menu where you make your own pasta/sauce combo. Throw in a Caeser and an iced tea, ahhhh. Their special is always shrimp served in a bread bowl filled with a scampi sauce. Is it really a special, if it is something you serve everyday? In previous visits during crowded lunch hours, the host parked us in the back dining room that was like eating in a storage closet. It was so bad that we (me) requested a move to a high table in the bar area with the big screens. Can I just say that male hosts really don't belong in a restaurant as they routinely use bad judgment?
Depending on who you are dining with, the bread can present a big problem. It's freshly baked but it's not cut all the way through and requires a good amount of manhandling to separate the slices. If you are dining with Mr. Swiney, you may want to take the first piece or insist that they cover the bread with a napkin first.
