There was a big birthday party so that’s the only reason why the noise was a little louder. Prior to that it was quiet! Food was AMAZING!

We truly enjoy Osteria Amici, whenever we are in town! The staff/(Amanda especially) is Exceptional!! From the warm greeting of the Hostess, to the professionalism and hospitality of the wait service. Although it had been awhile since we were back, Amanda greeted Us like old friends, evening remembering my wine choice!
