Café Amici is an Italian American family style restaurant located just east of the center of town with a warm welcome and congenial pub type atmosphere. Both the food and waitstaff service were exceptional.

They offer both a lunch and dinner menu and have something for everyone, including children. During our visit the Daily Specials Menu included Black sea bass with green and white asparagus, mushrooms, roasted potatoes and a saffron sauce for a reasonably priced $26 which included a choice of House Salad, Caesar Salad, Chicken Soup or the Soup of the day. The New England Clam Chowder was made with fresh ingredients, served piping hot in a large bowl, with a slice of toasted garlic bread and was positively delicious. The Sea bass was cooked to perfection with a delicately seasoned saffron sauce. A variety of desserts including homemade mint chocolate chip, chocolate peanut butter, caramel and coffee gelato as well as a variety of cakes and cookies.

The tables in the main dining area are a bit close, yet cozy and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. There are several interesting paintings around the room which are offered for sale.

All in all a wonderful dining experience. You'll want to visit Cafe Amici for a relaxing, enjoyable meal. All major credit cards accepted and it's a BYOB.
