My hubby and I had been so excited to experience Amici. The service and food was amazing, I would like to say a special thank you to Laura who was our waitress. The only thing that let this review down was the table that we were put at. My hubby view was of a wall and my view was of the carpark and the wall. We were so excited to eat at this restaurant due to how beautiful it looked inside yet we didn't get to experience it like that which was disappointing
