Just been to Amici's Forest Hall and didn't enjoy it! Ordered Chicken Kiev - opened it up to find a lovely pool of garlic butter BUT there were bits of the chicken raw! Sent it back. Watched my partner eat their main course while they cooked me another. 15 mins later the second one came. Now it’s my dining companions turn to watch me eat...cut it open - no garlic butter oozing out because it was as dry as a bone! Called the waiter over...did I want anything else...errr, no - just the bill. They hadn’t charged me for the chicken (kind!) but I wanted a reduction on the rest as the meal was totally spoilt and now I am having a cheese sandwich at home! The manager wouldn't budge. Won't be going back to Amici's Forest Hall!!

we have just returned from a visit to this restaurant, which i have visited many times (without complaint), however, on this occasion i have to say we were disgusted.
our party of 4, myself, my fiancee, her mother, a prominent police media spokesperson in holland, and the mayor of a council in holland, arrived to what i can only call a sour faced welcome by staff who clearly saw us as an inconvenient disruption to the wines and beers they were drinking in the corner. having been shown to our table we were asked for a drinks order while still taking off our coats.
i ordered one of the black board special starters, only to be told that there werent any.
we ordered two pizzas and two calzones to follow, they duly arrived, the first two pizzas were fine, however the calzones were badly burned and smothered in sauce in a clear attempt to hide the fact.
they were sent back and replaced, but one of the replacements was cold inside, not even the cheese had melted, i am sure environmental health will be interested in that.
the main complaint upon sending this disgraceful food back (again) is the absolutely deplorable service we received, not so much as an apology was given, the pizza was taken off the bill, but only because the recipient decided to save any further embarrasment by not having a meal at all.
i can only wonder what the owners/management would think of this as i have always been happy with amicis on previous visits, however, this time has really ended our custom with the restaurant,and i will be contacting environmental health, as a chef myself i am well aware of legislation regarding temperatures of hot food being served to the public and apart from anything else the service was a disgrace and completetly destroyed the reputation amicis has built up in this area.

This restaurant was selected by some friends, and well, it was chosen very well, we turned up on a Wednesday night and had to wait for a table!! After a warm welcome at the bar we were then shown to the table where we looked and came across some very different food! Not only did they have Italian food on the menu they also had Greek!! We really enjoyed our chosen meals, the service was great!!

I am a fairly regular visitor to Amici. The staff are very friendly and there is always a pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. The food is excellent, always beautifully served and in large portions.
At the end of the month there is usually a Greek night which is really good value for money. Greek food is served after which there is Greek dancing to live bouzouki music.
All in all an ideal restaurant for lunch, a meal at night or for a special occasion.
