Description: Located just steps from the opulent mansions of Millionaires Row, Amici Italian Café offers outdoor seating in a romantic fern-laden brick courtyard where tinkling fountains and chimes put diners at ease. In the warm months it’s a place to enjoy the signature drink, the Amici Bellini. Year-round you may choose from a wide variety of dishes that reveal the influence of northern Italy. Along with your cocktail, try the prosciutto e melone appetizer—thinly sliced prosciutto wrapped around melon wedges for $6.50—or the antipasto platter with an assortment of cured meats, cheeses, and pepperoncini. For a nice main course, try the grilled shrimp and scallop risotto, or the cheese tortellini with asparagus pesto and grilled chicken. Also available is a wide selection of salads, panini, pizzas, and soups.
