Great range of indulgent hot chocolates available, which are really tasty. Non-dairy milk available at no extra cost and works really well with the hot chocolates. Friendly staff and lovely decor / atmosphere. Will definitely drop in again next time we visit Melton.

Exceptional quality of food for the price and wonderfully presented. Enjoyed breakfasts here on numerous occasions and always of a very high standard. Atmosphere and welcome is also always second to none, was impressed to see the owner/waiting staff take the time to help people with their orders - in particular helping an older gentleman who didn’t know what he wanted. The owner suggested options that she knew he’d had before and enjoyed. This kindness goes a long way and was heart warming to see. I can definitely see why there are so many regulars that visit. If you haven’t tried it I’d suggest a visit because it certainly won’t be the last time you do!

Having booked a lunchtime table for 4 people on a Saturday , we arrived waited an hour for our food and coffees to arrive,the restaurant was not busy , just us 4 and a couple with a small child. Only two staff working, the meals were simple salads, one pasta dish and a panini, so nothing complicated. They said they were one staff member down, how many people does it take to make a salad? The food was also very expensive, no complementary drinks/treats offered to compensate for our lack of service, If the restaurant was experiencing problems surely the best course of action would have been to close for the day. We shall not be going back here again☹️

Went to Melton Mowbray for the first time and noticed that not many restaurants opened on a Monday, luckily for us Amici was open. Lovely friendly welcome, good selection on the menu and reasonably priced. We had lovely Tomato and Basil Soup for starters which was very tasty and warming. I chose Lasagne for my main course, again it was very nice. Low on desserts but the Carrot Cake was delicious. Clean and friendly environment, very quiet but it can be expected on a Monday lunchtime.

Open 9 to 3 tells us that Amici is a cafe and so we shouldn't start applying fancy feedback reviews to it. HOWEVER it does also call itself an Italian Bistro and if you go there with that pretence then you may be disapointed. We were. Go there for coffee and snacks and you'll be served by lovely people and the yard at the back is a nice place to sit if it's sunny just don't confuse things by asking for anything from the main menu or complicating things by bringing up things like lactose intolerance. It's not horrible but it is limited.

Came here on my lunch with some friends and our children! Staff were unbelievably attentive and friendly, especially with the kids. The food was insane and came out promptly. Apparently the owners have just took over recently and can honestly say that it seemed as though they’d been in the place forever! 10/10 would recommend and will come regularly.

We hired the whole restaurant for my birthday party. The whole family came from all over the UK and abroad. Giuliana and Mark made all the guests feel welcome and at home. The staff that evening - Morgan, Chris and Catherine - worked very hard and totally efficiently to ensure that everyone had an excellent time. The food, as always was first class. Giuliana had worked very hard to ensure that the large number of vegetarians were well catered for. I really cannot thank everyone at the restaurant enough for all their hard work and for smiling throughout the evening.

Thanks to Tripadvisor, we visited this restaurant because of the great reviews. We were not disappointed! We visited last Saturday on an overnight stop at Melton Mowbray. The food was wonderful. Staff very friendly. Great home cooked food and extremely well priced (very cheap for us southerners). We had three courses starting with the antipasto to share, which was fab. Lovely goulash and fresh pasta, followed by Pannatone bread pudding with cream. All delicious.

Amici is a little Continental eatery set in the very heart of the "Rural Capital of Food." So it HAS to be good. And it is! Run by Guiliana from Milan and Kat, the menu very much reflects their European culinary heritage, full of imagination and flair. Far exceeding the fairly contemporary, High Street facade and interior. The fare is varied and consistently of the highest quality and presentation. Looks good, tastes good and served with a smile. Be it just a quick bite, or a more substantial meal. Desserts particularly, are to die for, changing regularly to tempt one to return! A decent selection of wines is available and the coffee too, is up there with the best. In the warmer months, a delightful patio area at the rear of the premises exudes a certain Mediterranean ambience, mellow terra cotta hues etc for that "al fresco epicurean experience." Well worth a visit, whatever the time of year..

Looked on trip advisor for a decent place to eat lunch in Melton Mowbray & this came up as 5 star. Booked a table through Go Dine as I couldn't find a website directly for Amici. Booking went fine & table was reserved for when we got there. It was a rainy market day but I was a bit wary when we saw it. First impressions from the outside didn't match up to my expectations after the reviews as it looks like a normal café but please don't let that put you off. The welcome was warm and friendly, the waitresses all very helpful and the atmosphere really pleasant. We order the sharing cold meat plate for starters which was nicely presented and exactly what we would have expected, with the benefit of some extremely tasty picked onions and warm focaccia. We then ordered seafood risotto, lasagne and a spicy pasta dish with salami & chilli. All were obviously home cooked, hot & tasty.After the reviews we had hoped to order the Tiramisu but they hadn't any left so we went for a lemon cheesecake and a Black Forest Gateaux kind of cake. Oooh - they made up for the lack of Tiramisu! Gorgeous and light and not overly sweet. I wanted to bring some home.We had various drinks; a lovely fragranced tonic water, a bottled lager and tea & latte's which were all perfect. The only downside was the teapot didn't pour very well but that that could be easily overlooked by the quality of the food and the warmth of the service.Facilities up a little set of stairs towards the back of the restaurant but the whole setting was clean, tidy and felt loved. Looking forward to going back (and pre-ordering the tiramisu by phone before hand). Thank you Amici for a lovely birthday lunch.

The food here is always really tasty and the staff are always incredibly friendly. The owners make you feel like you are a part of the family from the moment you open the door and they always remember us every time we go back. We always take family from out of town here and they love it as well. I would suggest booking beforehand if you are visiting at lunch or in the evening on a weekend as its a small restaurant and can get busy. If you just show up on a very sunny day you are more likely to be seated as they have a beautiful garden area that they open up in summer which I think about doubles their capacity. Also they are a good place to go if you are just looking for a place to have a coffee and a chat with friends, although I will never go there and not get something to eat because the food is just so good.

This is a fabulous Italian restaurant. The staff are very knowledgeable on the food and the young girl who was our waitress was superb on her descriptions of the desserts. We all started with Bruschetta, made with very tasty tomatoes, one had Anchovies, another Spec Ham and the third Mozzarella.For Mains my wife had a Seafood Risotto which she said was delicious, I had Breast of Chicken in a Gorgonzola sauce with rosemary roast potatoes and salad. Again exquisite. Our friend who was a regular at the establishment had Tagliatelle Bolognaise which she said was delightful. The desserts were fabulous, the girls had a variation on Pannacotta and I had again a variation on Black Forrest Gateaux. All of the above was washed down with an extra dry bottle of Prosecco. The food great, the service great and the atmosphere excellent. Well recommended

The ambiance of the restaurant is unpretentious, set out in the style of a café, but this has the advantage that staff can rearrange the tables to accommodate customers, as they were very willing to do in our case. We were a party of four with a young child, for whom a high chair was made readily available. There is also outdoor seating. The staff were extremely friendly and obliging.The food is excellent – authentic Italian cuisine, which was served very promptly. We opted for the vegetarian antipasto, followed by panciotti melazane e scamorza (pasta parcels containing aubergine and mozzarella served in a tomato and black olive sauce). This was really delicious.The staff seemed to think that there was a limited range of desserts. We thought there was not a bad selection, in fact, and two of us opted for ice creams, one chocolate and one vanilla, which were very attractively presented.Prices were reasonable – £65 for four adults and a child, including drinks, is pretty good!This was our first visit to Melton Mowbray, and we came on market day. So the restaurant was fairly busy, but the service was very prompt and efficient nonetheless. We would certainly return when we are next in the town.

A gem of a place hidden on the main pedestrian section on Melton Mowbray's town centre, food was really good and piping hot, considering there was over 20 people in our group. Due to the numbers we had two large tables in the courtyard at the rear which is surrounded by various shrubs and has a nice little water feature in the corner. I thought the whole experience was lovely and will be going again to sample more delights from the menu.

We often visit at lunchtime and when its sunny love the garden at the back as well but decided to try a very poular guitar evening and were not disappointed. The food as usual was lovely and the guitarist played in the background for over an hour giving us time to enjoy a three course meal. Later on we started joining in to the beat and and singing some of the tunes Chris the guitarist was playing and singing,a lovely evening. The next evening 24 August we have booked again and we have been told Chris will have his two sons joining him and they are very good as well and together a really great night so really looking forward to it.

We meet with friends for lunch on a regular basis - they live in Lincoln, we in Coalville so we're always looking for somewhere kind of midway. We've had a few disappointments but we think that in Amici we've found the perfect place. I was a little disconcerted when I walked in a it seemed to be more like a cafe (which it also is!) rather than a restaurant. However my concerns were swiftly allayed by the warmth and efficiency of the service and the quality of the food. It's always a good sign when you're enjoying yourself so much that you lose track of time and suddenly discover that you're the last people in the restaurant!! Looking forward to our next visit.

This is a beautiful establishment which serves amazing food. I was lucky enough to be able to attend a Gin and Tonic evening that was being hosted here. They had on offer 6 different gins ranging from Gordon's to locally produced ones, all very different and very nice to taste. Mark did a talk about how Gin is made and how it differs for commercial production to the more unique smaller batched ones. They offered a buffet to run alongside the Gin and this was lovely with a selection of meats and canapés for starters, pasta and risotto for main and a selection of desserts including panna cotta which was lovely. This is definitely an evening I would attend again and would definitely recommend it to people if you like Gin and Tonic

I visited Melton Mowbray for the day and stumbled upon Amici while out walking. I'm so glad I visited! Amici is a wonderful eaterie. The staff on arrival were great and very helpful and the place seemed so much better on the day we went (scorcher outside), indeed Amici even has an outside area to eat! The food was wonderful, chicken salad for me and panini's for the others. Give this place a try, the reviews don't lie in my opinion.

A really enjoyable meal - a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere, convivial and friendly service, and really nice food. Not a large restaurant (which helps with the ambience), but well staffed and an interesting and varied menu at reasonable prices.In Melton is also the re-furbished Art-Deco Regal Cinema (with streaming of opera, ballet, Shakespeare etc, as well as recent movies). This restaurant is a short walk for pre- or post-cinema meals on Thursday, Friday or Saturday evenings.

If you should find yourself looking for a genuine taste of Italy but can't afford the airfare or time to go you could do a whole lot worse than calling in to the Amici Cafe & Bistro.Tucked away in the centre of Melton Mowbray, so it has local parking available, Amici's is one of those places that you say 'I never knew it was there' when you arrive - and leave wishing you'd have found it sooner!We went with some friends the other night and enjoyed a fantastic evening, with great food and excellent Italian wine which is selected by owner Mark Hallam on his trips to Italy.As well as the standard menu they also offer a range of specials which last night featured pasta parcels filled with ricotta and truffle served simply with a sage butter which were excellent. For mains I went with the Tomino alla Boscaiola - Alpine cheese balls wrapped in Spek before being roasted with potatoes and served with salad - which was similarly excellent. Friends (amici's?) went with different courses -the Carbonara seeming to go down particularly well. Fortunately space was left - just - for desserts which was just as well as the Tiramisu really rounded off the meal!Service was flawless throughout our meal - despite most of the tables being taken when we were there.Being freshly cooked the chef was happy to make adjustments to the food to suit dietary requests. Indeed all of the staff were very friendly and welcoming whilst the restaurant had a real buzz to it throughout the evening. Indeed time passed so quickly that before we knew it we were past 2300.So, if you're looking for a good authentic Italian meal and find yourself in Melton Mowbray I can't recommend Amici's highly enough and will certainly be back.

We had family down to stay & decided to take them out for a meal locally & chose Amicis as we had been previously & enjoyed it. 6 of us in total enjoyed a lovely meal with plenty of wine & the owners were very attentive. My only gripe is we left a substantial tip & nobody said goodnight or thank you but they were probably busy !

I went for lunch with two friends. They had mushroom and sage soup with fresh warm bread. I shared a spoon or two and it was absolutely delicious, beautifully home made. We then had a penini each. I can truly say, one of the nicest I've had with true Italian flavours in each bite. I had cured ham with sun-dried tomatoes, red onions, feta cheese and salad with oil and balsamic. It has to be tried!! The service is very attentive and caring. We will be returning again very soon.

I organised a meal here for ten of us. With a few late entries and some of us backing out last minute, the staff at Amici we're more than happy to accommodate last minute changes with no problems. Everyone of us found the evening very enjoyable, helped by the warm atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff. The courses were all served in a timely manner and were delicious, well presented and at the right temperature. Not one of us could find a fault with our evening, not one!!! Highly recommend this establishment to anyone and everyone

Me and my partner visited this restaurant on the 14th as we were staying in Melton last minute. We were deciding on what restaurant to eat at and this place and the menu stood out and looked lovely, We certainly wasn't let down! The staff and the owner were very friendly and it was nice that the owner introduced himself to every table and then told you the specials that were on. The food was unbelievable tasty, extremely fresh and you could tell quality ingredients were used and care was taken in every dish! I would quite happily drive the 2hour journey from home just to go back and eat there! If your looking for a good Italian restaurant to eat at then la Perla is the place!

Me & the mrs took a crowd of us there in December, first time we had been. Food was good, place was clean & nice service. The place was busy. Would go there again & try some different dishes. The prices are reasonable. Parking across the road is free after around 6 ish

Never disappointing and occasionally exceptional. This is our date night treat. A very warm welcome (just as it should be), attentive service (as you would hope), marvellous food (to die for) and value for money to cap it off. Can get noisy if the restaurant is full, particularly on a Friday or Saturday night, but we’ll worth raising your voice for. Thoroughly recommended.
