I had Amici's at my wedding this past week and they were absolutely fantastic. All of my guests talked about how great the food and service was. Every single employee was so kind and enthusiastic. They also made it a point to continue to bring me food and make sure I was eating!! It's so easy to forget with so many people to talk to and so much going on so I was really touched that they continued to pay such close attention to me. It was truly stellar service. The bottom line is, Amici's is a first-class caterer. It is very clear that they are very experienced. If you do not want to worry AT ALL about catering the day of your wedding, go with Amici's. You can rest assured both the food and the service will be fantastic.
Food and service were fantastic! So happy we picked Amici's as our caterer!
Amici's is amazing! It was easy to book them and they're very responsive to your needs. They'll do their best to accommodate you on your special day. They arrived very early to set up everything and made my day perfect. The food was delicious, everyone loved it.
Any questions?
This incredible team went above and beyond with catering our wedding this past weekend. From the tasting to the day of service, everything was perfect. Everything was so delicious and every guest was so impressed with the level of quality and presentation. Some of my favorite items were sun-dried tomato arancini, the carved flank steak and the alfredo tortellini!!
If you want the best caterer in the Tampa area call Amici’s. They catered our Daughter wedding less than 48 hours after Hurricane Helene, only by the Grace of God did it take place. Amici’s delivered with out a hitch. The food was outstanding and the service impeccable, the Tenderloin had to be the best I have ever eaten, better than Berns which is a high standard.
AMAZING!!!
Amici's Catered Cuisine did the food for our wedding. Everything from the delicious Ahi Tuna to the Stuffed Flounder was amazing. The staff went out of their way to make sure we celebrated in style. We were so busy with greeting our guest, but they practically hand fed me so I wouldn't miss out. I would recommend them to anyone.
Easy to work with, flexible and patient as we had a lot going on. Everyone said it was some of the best wedding food they’ve had and went back for seconds! Sylvia and Cierra were awesome and the tasting was lovely and helped us choose exactly what we wanted.
Amici's catered our wedding last month, and they were great! The food, the service, the time, the price, everything was great. Highly recommended.
Amazing service and delicious food, highly recommend!
Amici’s saved the day for our daughter’s November wedding! The wedding planner and caterer (partners) bailed 3 days prior to the wedding having been paid in full.
We called Amici’s and explained our predicament. Though it was Veteran’s Day weekend, and Amici’s was already over-booked, Cierra said they wanted to help us! Amici’s provided the staff, linens, plates, cutlery, 2-water stations, and an absolutely delicious and abundant buffet dinner with less than 3-days notice!
Amici’s entire staff was professional, friendly, attentive, and caring! We highly recommend without any reservation, Amici’s Catered Cuisine! The wedding was a success largely due to Amici’s willingness to help. Thank you!
Amici’s is the best! We had them cater our wedding and the guests absolutely loved the food. The hors d’oeuvres at the cocktail hour were also delicious.
I can't say enough about Amici's from start to finish. Cierra was amazing to work with, as well as Sylvia when getting our event details set up and confirmed. They were quick to answer questions, return proposals, and always willing to hop on the phone to talk about things. We did our food/bar/linens through Amici's, and everything was perfect. From the requested table set up to the food. Almost every person at my wedding made a comment about either the food being excellent, Amici's team being great, or the presentation of things set up by their team. 10/10 would recommend Amici and their team for any wedding or event. They provide excellent service and great food!
Amicis food was amazing! For my wedding we did some small bites for the cocktail and and then for the reception we did buffet style with salad, pasta bar, and a meat carving station. I had so many guests come tell me how great the food was with huge portions! I loved my meal as well and would definitely recommend them!

As a wedding planner it is crucial couples hire a professional caterer who not only has incredible food but has a well defined process and established knowledgeable team to ensure you remain stress free leading up to and on the wedding day.
The Amicis team continues to provide top notch service and food to couples all over the Tampa Bay Area! Amicis remains at the top of my recommendation list!
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2023
Thank you for your glowing recommendation! We're honored to be at the top of your list. We appreciate your trust in Amici's and look forward to working with you again.
We used Amici's for both our engagement party and wedding. Both times the food was excellent and the service was exceptional. They were so easy to work with they answered all my questions and were friendly and professional. There prices are reasonable and the quality is much better then most companies. I will use them anytime I need a caterer. The DJ at our wedding was so impressed, he decided to use them for his own wedding! Our guests keep complementing us on how great the food was. I highly recommend them.
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2023
Thank you for making Amici's a part of your special celebrations! Your kind words and recommendations mean the world to us.
Everyone at our wedding RAVED about our food. We made the rookie bride and groom mistake of not eating cause we got carried away… which is so sad because I heard it was so phenomenal and some of the best wedding food people have ever had. We had a plated meal and the presentation was wonderful as well. The process of planning was easy and everyone I spoke to/interacted with was so kind. Being a destination bride and not getting to try the food prior was nerve racking, but If I could do my wedding all over again, I would choose Amicis without hesitation
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2023
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that everyone at your wedding enjoyed the food and that the plated meal presentation was wonderful. We totally understand how the excitement of the day can lead to some missed bites, but the...
fact that your guests raved about it means the world to us. Wishing you a lifetime of joy and wonderful moments!
I cannot say enough about how great Amici’s was at our wedding. From the start of our planning process they were easy to work with, knowledgeable, reasonably priced, responsive, and offered a large variety of different food options. On our wedding day they absolutely killed it with both the quality of the food and their service, and we’ve heard from many of our guests that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The pasta bar was an absolute hit, the steak carving station was delicious, and they even provided my wife and I with a special order for dinner since we really liked one of their seafood offerings at the tasting. As someone that’s been to many weddings, I can definitely say that this was great food and it was very reasonably priced compared to many of the other options we saw. We will definitely be using Amici’s again for any catered events we throw in the area.
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2023
We're honored to hear that your guests loved the food! Your words are music to our ears! We're absolutely thrilled that Amici's added to the joy of your special day.
Throughout the entire process of planning the catering for our wedding Amici's was amazing. Sylvia and her team were super helpful every step of the way. We got rave reviews from our guests about the apps and entrees. They were also the best price by a decent amount compared to other caterers we got quotes from. Highly recommended!
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2023
Thank you for your heartwarming words! We're thrilled to have been part of your special day. Sylvia and our team truly appreciate your kind compliments. It warms our hearts to know that your guests enjoyed the apps and entrees.
Great food, lovely presentation, and the staff were kind. There was a slight hiccup where we thought there would be gluten free pasta available with our pasta station, but it got lost in communication (we thought the coordinator would tell them, they thought we would communicate it - basically it wasn't Amici's fault). There was other (non-pasta) food available so no one went hungry. General tip: better to overcommunicate important details like dietary restrictions than not! Overall we were very happy with them as our caterer.
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2023
Thank you for your kind words and understanding! We appreciate your feedback on the hiccup, and you're absolutely right - communication is key. We're glad everyone was well-fed, and it was our pleasure to be part of your special day. Wishing yo...
u a lifetime of joy and happiness!
Had the best food for my wedding. Best service too! They had food waiting for us at our sweetheart table and they even sent over the hors d’oeuvres to us while we were doing formal pictures in cocktail hour so we could try them all before they were gone. The food was delicious and looked beautiful. 10/10 highly recommend them for your wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2023
Thanks for the love and the 10/10! We believe in making weddings as deliciously unforgettable as possible. Cheers to a lifetime of great meals and memories! Thank you for leaving us a review!
Amazing food, amazing appetizers, amazing people. Highly recommend Amici's!
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2023
Wow, thanks for the amazing review! We're thrilled you loved the food, appetizers, and our fabulous team. Your recommendation means the world to us.
We are so thankful that we chose Amici’s as our caterer. Our guests were very complimentary. The team was professional, responsive, and kind leading up to and on the wedding day. I also feel that the price was fair. We have had some pretty underwhelming wedding food in the past and I can confidently report that Amici’s food was anything but. You will not regret choosing them for your special day. Thank you to the entire Amici team!
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2023

led with love and happiness!
Amici's was very easy to work with. They answered any questions we had quickly. We had a few guests with very specific food allergies and they were able to make them their own food so they could also enjoy the night. Everything tasted great! Everything tasted the same during the tasting event and at the reception. Price was good for the amount of guests we had and the area we are in. Worked well with both our venue and the wedding planner we used. Lots of add on options that can be added for a unique experience.
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2023
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Amici's. We are thrilled to hear that we could contribute to making your special day memorable. Thank you for choosing Amici's, and we wish you a lifetime of happiness together...

WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW!!!! Amici's out did themselves!!! Every single one of their staff members were absolutely wonderful!!!! We chose the Gold Sit Down Dinner and upgraded some Hors D'oeuveres and paid for a late night snack which was a HUGE HIT!!! The most popular Hors D'oeuvere we had was the Southern Chicken and Waffles topped with Fire Roasted Marshmallows and Drizzled with Maple Syrup! I mean come on!!! My mouth is watering just thinking about them!! Before the reception started, the Captain came up to my husband and I and introduced himself and congratulated us! He was so sweet!!! The servers were nothing less of phenomenal!!! We had a spill by the sweetheart table and I swear, before the drink even hit the ground they were there with a rag to clean it up!! We highly recommend Amici's Catered Cuisine! Everyone was amazing! Including the sales team!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. Thank you for your kind words and for choosing Amici's to cater to your special day.
As this website helped me find this cater, I wanted to review them on the site I found them on.
I hired Amici's for my event on pretty short notice. However, the staff I talked to on the phone was also professional and friendly. The day of the event was executed flawlessly, with all expectations fulfilled as promised. The quantity and quality of the food were also first-rate and the staff's very professional appearance and conduct.
What bothered me was the mandatory 20% gratuity that, by error, was omitted from three different price proposals before the event. As a result, the tip was almost 100% more than the labor cost stated on the before-event invoice. I do not want to deny staff a living, but I sure would have liked to know when planning my budget.
Before I wrote this review, I did email the owner Mike to allow them to respond. Instead, I got three different phone calls asking for payment which was in the mail after their last invoice, which was unexpected.
The TRC provided a list of caters we could choose from. There was a variety of cuisine, styles and price points. We set up a tasting with Catering by the Family and Amici’s. We ultimately went with Amici’s and had a plated dinner (rolls, salad and a double entree of chicken, steak, mashed potatoes and vegatable medley). The food was delicious and the service was prompt! They were accommodating as we had a vegan guest who enjoyed his meal (eggplant parm and veggies). We also had an open (premium) bar that was open from the start of cocktail hour to 30 minutes prior to our reception ending. We set up a bar on the balcony between our ceremony and cocktail space as well as utilize the kitchenette set up inside in the main hallway. We had a signature drink inspired by our dog, “The Handsome Man,” which was vodka, grapefruit juice, salted rim and a grapefruit garnish. We did four passed hor d’oveours for cocktail hour: Cuban egg roll, meatballs, chicken flatbread and BLT bites. And for dessert we opted for an ice cream sundae bar! Our guests absolutely loved it since it was warm outside. They had an array of deserts you could choose from as well if ice cream is not your thing. And we set up a water station through them prior to the start of our ceremony. We also provided coffee services. Prior to our wedding, the staff was repsonsive and helpful when it came to addressing our questions or concerns. And the day of staff was excellent!

Alexandra thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Thank you for choosing us from that list. It was an honor to be a part of your special day. Your signature drink was awesome!
We are very happy we chose Amici’s to cater our wedding. The food was so delicious. We got several compliments on the appetizers and dinner. The servers at the wedding were very attentive. You will not regret having Amici’s cater your wedding!

Hello Ariel and thank you for your kind words. So glad to hear everything went well and that you enjoyed it all. Congratulations!
We were so happy we chose Amici's Catered Cuisine to cater our wedding. The food was delicious and we received quite a few compliments from our guests. Diane, our captain, and the servers were very friendly and made sure everyone had plenty of food. Working with Sylvia, leading up to the wedding, was a pleasure as well. She was always quick to respond to my many questions. I would definitely recommend Amici's for anyone looking for a caterer.

Hello Brooke! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We love reading reviews like yours that let us know we still got it. ;) Thank you for choosing us.
We were so happy we went with Amici's for our wedding! The food was so delicious and we got so many compliments from all types of guests (we have a few picky folks!). We chose a buffet style meal with a bar service package. Amici's was able to cater to our vegetarian/vegan guests with absolutely no issue at all, which was something I was stressed about when picking a caterer. All of their staff were so incredibly friendly and warm during the reception, catering to all guest needs and making everything run so smoothly without any issue. Robin and Sylvia were so amazing to work with and made us comfortable throughout the planning process. If you are looking for delicious quality food and amazing service, this company is the way to go. Not to mention they were the best for our budget. THANK YOU AMICI'S!
Response from the Vendor on 03/02/2023
Thank you, Jillian. It was an honor to be a part of your special day!
We were absolutely shocked by how incredible the food and staff were on our wedding day. They really went above and beyond and exceeded expectations. Normally wedding food is mediocre and hard to prepare buffet style so my expectations were low but we were thrilled and amazed with how delicious the appetizers and meals were. Our friends are hard food critics and they even came up to us to tell us how satisfied they were and how Amici’s was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Everyone said their steak and salmon were all perfect. The appetizers were delicious. They were so accommodating with food allergies and special plates. They even saved the groom and I special plates to eat at the wedding and to bring home because they understood how busy it can be for the bride and groom. I was so happy because I really wanted to try the truffle Mac and cheese bites and scallops but our photos were during appetizers. The staff showed us to our sweetheart table and served us. They made sure we had water, drinks, and food. They catered to us as well as catered our entire wedding! They wrapped everything up for us too. It’s been 3 weeks since our wedding and we haven’t stopped receiving compliments about the food at our wedding. Again, not only was the food delicious but the customer service and staff made us feel so special and really went above and beyond on a day that is so stressful for the bride and groom. I honestly can not thank them enough.
Everything about Amici's is exemplary from contract to quality of food and professionalism of staff. The Director of Events at the resort we had our venue was missing in action day of! David from Amici's actually stepped in and helped us which was above and beyond! Thank you Amici's for saving the day.
Response from the Vendor on 11/21/2022
Wow! Thank you, Arlene! David is excellent and he loves being able to help in any way. We are happy to hear that everything went well and that you enjoyed the food and our staff members.
Absolutely everything about Amici’s was wonderful. They were professional, timely, and executed everything exactly as planned. I had total peace of mind when it came to food on our wedding day - not a single doubt everything would go smoothly and taste great. And the guests raved about the food! Truly delicious. I’m so glad we hired them

Thank you Carmen for your outstanding review! We truly enjoyed working with you from start thru completion and hope that you'll keep us in your thoughts for any future upcoming events. Congratulations!!
I had another company initially hired for my wedding that we unfortunately had to fire, however, we called Amici’s just a short 2 months prior to my wedding and they worked with us so well to help our day go just as planned. The food was DELICIOUS and our guests raved about the food and service for days to come. The bar package was SO worth every penny. Amici’s had such reasonable pricing and they went above and beyond to help create the perfect day. The lead caterer was so incredibly sweet to my husband and I and made sure we were taken care of at every moment. You will not be disappointed with the service and professionalism exemplified by this company. Hire them NOW!

We were so pleased with our experience working with Amici's! First and foremost- their food is EXCELLENT! We tried several caterers and they by far had the best food, and we were impressed by the value as well! They helped us to craft a personal and perfect menu for our wedding day. With COVID we also had a lot of date & guest changes and they were so accommodating and flexible to work with which really helped this stressed our bride ;) I highly recommend looking into Amici's for your wedding- you won't be disappointed!

Thank you so much for your rave review!
We enjoyed working with you and wish you a life filled with love and happiness.
Congratulations!!!
From the moment we went to one of their Date Night tastings, my husband and I knew we found our caterer. Not only was their presentation lovely, the staff incredibly kind, but the food was SO good. We were thrilled to select them for our big day. Sadly, we were one of the many couples affected by COVID19 and had to push our date out 7 months. Amici's did not charge us to move our date, and also made everything so incredibly seamless to switch. There was no stress with them! Their staff is wonderful - they respond SO quickly and don't mind answering the millions of questions we had!! When our big day finally arrived, all of our guests raved about the food, especially our appetizers! The staff working our wedding was awesome. I would highly recommend going with Amici's Catered Cuisine for your wedding or any special occasion, really. We could not have been happier with them!
Response from the Vendor on 01/26/2021
Rachel, as I read your review, I could feel the love and honesty and we thank you so much for your beautiful story.
Congratulations from the "A" Team!
Amici’s was one of the best vendors from my wedding and I cannot sing their praises enough. The catering staff is responsive, professional, and so helpful. The food is amazing and they have so many great options to choose from. I would absolutely recommend them and will be using their services in the future.

Planning our wedding, my fiancee and I really wanted the dinner to be a focal point of the event. We wanted our guests seated fast and treated to a really amazing dinner, not just a fun party. Amici's delivered on this idea and then some! The food was an absolute hit and we received endless complements not only on the quality of the food but also the impeccable, kind, prompt, and safe service provided by the Amici team. From the tasting, to the coordinating the day, and pricing, Amici's was everything I could have wanted in a caterer and more. I would recommend them again and again.

Thank you Katelyn for your sparking review! We enjoyed working with you and you can always order our delicious pastas by the pan for delivery. Keep that in mind for future reference!
Congratulations on your marriage
The best, plain and simple. When planning our wedding, several of our vendors asked us who was catering the food at our reception. When we told them Amici’s every one of them said we would not be disappointed. They were absolutely correct. The hardest part about the entire planning process with Amici's was what to choose for our food. Every single thing on their menu was awesome. Our guests raved about the food. How could they not, it was delicious. Hot and cooked too perfection. The team at Amici’s made sure my wife and I had everything we needed during our reception. Their staff was just a joy to work with and were truly so sincere and happy to be apart of our day. It made us feel like this was the most important reception they had catered. That is how you want to feel on your wedding day.

Kike, Sylvia, Susan and the whole Amici's team was beyond incredible and essential in making our wedding an absolute perfection! They were so great to work with! All 100+ of our wedding guests LOVED the food and the service. Beyond professional and so affordable for everything they provide! Thank you again for making the beginning of our marriage so memorable.

Thank you so much Joana for your amazing review. We truly enjoyed working with you and wish you both a world of love and happiness. Congratulations and Happy New Year!!
We used Amici's Catering for our wedding reception dinner in May 2019 and everything was PERFECT!! The staff was wonderful – organized, attentive, friendly – and the food was outstanding, and the price for everything was unbeatable. We had the pasta action station for dinner, and an array of the butler passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour. I heard nothing but rave reviews about the food, the flavors, the fact that everyone could customize their dishes, and how fun the chefs were. The servers had a plate with a sampling of all of our appetizers ready on our sweetheart table for us after cocktail hour, which I thought was a very nice touch since we spent the entire cocktail hour taking pictures. They made sure my husband and I got our meals first (and even made our plates for us) and constantly checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed through out the night. All our guests (who were mostly Italian) commented on the delicious appetizers and said that this was one of the best wedding reception meals they could remember! We have even had guests ask us after where the food came from so they can use them in the future. I HIGHLY recommend Amici's!

The food was great. Everyone loved it. It was more than enough and they even let us keep leftovers. They made sure that the wedding party all got food. They walked around with horsdevours on trays (even out to the beach) and also left some at head table so those at pictures did not miss out.

We are so glad we chose Amici's to cater our wedding. They provided beautiful passed hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour. During the reception, we had plated salads, a pasta station, roast beef carving station, and fruit with chocolate fountain. We had many compliments, and one of my bridesmaids said it was the best wedding food she's ever tasted. I agree! The presentation was beautiful, and the team made sure that my husband and I actually got to eat! The crew chief was so sweet. It was like she was part of the family. We highly recommend Amici's.

Thank you so much Denise for taking the time to review us, it is most appreciated.
We enjoyed working with you all and wish you a world of love and happiness.
Congratulations!
Absolutely hands down amazing! Very responsive during the whole processes and so helpful. We had a last minute change in our venue and they adapted very quickly and helped us pull off our reception in our home. The food was wonderful and our guests gave rave reviews. We did a buffet with a pasta bar and so happy we did!
Thank you all so much for the excellent service!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to give us a review. We enjoyed working with you and glad that we could share in your special day with you.
Congratulations!
I’m so happy we picked Amici’s as our caterer for our wedding. Susan, Kelcie and Sylvia were so easy to work with, very responsive, they let me call them or email them whenever I had a question. They’re also full service, so they can do everything! They set up and broke down the venue where needed which was a huge help, too! The food was SO good, everyone was talking about how good it was for days after. The food came out warm and quick. The whole team was so professional during the wedding. They also were very attentive to us during our wedding, offering us drinks, water, had the appetizers plated for us and tried really hard to get us to eat with all the excitement happening during the wedding. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Thank you so very much for your sparkling review. We enjoyed working with you and wish you a world of love and happiness.
Congratulations!!
Amici’s did a wonderful job catering our wedding – absolutely exceeding my expectations. The ladies in the office, Susan, Kelcie, and Sylvia, were always quick to respond to my questions and very accommodating and patient to my special requests (such as vegetarian options). They are absolute pros when it comes to this and know what they’re doing. They worked with my coordinator for the setup of chairs/décor so that I did not have to stress about anything. I thought their prices were very reasonable considering how much they did. Our captain was also amazing and so attentive. She asked me numerous times if I needed anything. We choose 3 different dinner stations, which were a big hit with our guests. The appetizers were delicious too (everybody loved the truffle fries; I personally loved the spanakopita and egg rolls). I only wish I had more time that night to eat more! I would absolutely use them again and recommend them for any event.

The food! Oh gosh, the food is so incredible! I was so excited for the chicken picotta and mushroom risotto. It’s two of my all time favorite foods, and I’m so glad we ordered them (along with other delicious dishes) and the prices were so reasonable!!
Susan and Kelsey are super nice to talk to, and they were so easy to work with.

Congratulations
My husband and I went to a date night at Amici's and had a blast - we found our caterer, lead server, baker, and our bartender all in one night!! I must say Lucy (our lead) and the entire team did an amazing job! We got many compliments on how professional they were and how good the food was! The ladies in the office were also super easy to work with leading up to our event!!
I definitely recommend going to their date night (they have it once a month) and book them as soon as you can!

Food is such an important part of a wedding- and Amici's DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! They were on time, the set up was beautiful and the staff go over the top for everyone!! My husband and i did not have to lift a finger when it came to food. They made sure to bring us appetizers during cocktail hour (they even brought a plate out to where we were taking pictures!!) They brought us dinner, the cake and anything we wanted. They checked on us frequently and also on our guests. I've had MULTIPLE guests tell me how amazing the food was and how amazing the staff was!! Booking this company was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!! Thank you guys so much!!

Congratulations and Happy Holidays
Amici's is the BOMB DIGGITY! I love to eat and I do NOT compromise on quality of food or service. I love Italian comfort food and I cannot rave enough about the level of professionalism, the value and output given by the staff. All of our guests enjoyed every single item on our menu, but the crowd pleaser was certainly the pasta bar :) Thank you for making our wedding day perfect!
Response from the Vendor on 11/24/2018
Wow what a stellar review!!! Thank you so much for allowing us to share in your special day. We wish you a world of happiness and love...congratulations!
Amicis was wonderful from start to finish. We did their couples tasting and from there we knew this was the caterer for us. They were very responsive, answered every question we had, and reassured us more times I can count. Not to mention the flavor they added to the set up of our tables. We did a dual plated meal and everyone said it was delicious! Definitely recommend amicis if you are looking for catering for weddings or events!

My husband and I got married on October 14 in downtown St Petersburg. Amici’s catered the event and did a phenomenal job. The food was delicious and the staff was really professional and hard working. Everything was perfect, down the last detail. The passed hor d’oeuvres were plated beautifully (get the bread spoons). The staff made sure everyone got to try the hor d’oeuvres (even the bride and groom). Dinner was fantastic. We received so many compliments on the delicious food and the wide variety of options. Thank you Amici’s!

Congratulations!!!!
The communication with Amici's was fantastic! Susan, Sylvia & Kelcie always responded very quickly and were great to work with. The appetizers for the wedding were fantastic. Unfortunately, my steak was cooked more to the rare side, but the rest of the meal was very good. The servers were on point and very professional.
Response from the Vendor on 10/26/2018
Thank you so much for responding. Any time you have a situation regarding your meat, it should be immediately brought to the Captain's attention which we hope you did! That way, it can be corrected in a timely fashion and still keep everyone h...

The food was absolutely delicious! We have never had more compliments about it. The staff was so hard-working, they treated me and my hubby like King and Queen. We were so happy with them and wish we could get married again to have another party!
Response from the Vendor on 07/11/2018

Congratulations!!
Amici's was great! They do a date night that really helped us choose our menu. Instead of a traditional buffet, we went with a pasta station and a carving station. They were a big hit. The food was terrific! Best of all, the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Amici's.
Response from the Vendor on 07/09/2018
Thank you for your heartfelt review, it is very much appreciated.
We're happy that we were able to share in your special day with you as well.
Congratulations!
Everything was amazing!! Our guests are STILL talking about our food stations and how delicious everything was. The catering and displays were beautiful and they did a great job matching our vision and décor with the rest of the venue. My husband and I did the 'date night 'prior to try all their food and were just blown away by how yummy everything was, it was definitely tough when it came time to decide on our menu for the night. They are affordable and work with you for any specific requests or accommodations needed. We were referred to them by a past bride, and so glad we listened! We will definitely be passing on the referrals ourselves.
Response from the Vendor on 07/09/2018

Amici’s was extremely professional, provided exceptional service, and most importantly, they had amazing food! I can’t say enough great things about them!

The catering team was amazing! From the sales staff to the individuals on site at our wedding. Everyone was so helpful and nice, they took the stress out of planning our wedding and even on the “big day”. The food was excellent, presentation just beautiful, and all experience was a 10+. I would highly recommend this company.

From the day we walked into Amici's we were blown away! We were looking for a caterer for our wedding and Amici's was such an easy decision. The staff is TOP NOTCH, professional, courteous and really made our guests feel like they were being catered to. The food is wonderful and the staff is the best around. I highly recommend using Amici's and I look forward to using them for future events.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us with such kind words. Congratulations to all!
Amici's went ABOVE and BEYOND for our wedding day. We had the pasta bar, and it surpassed our expectations. Our guests were blown away by how amazing and fresh the food was, and how awesome of an experience it was to be able to "create" their own pasta dish essentially. Their staff was wonderful, and even brought myself and Will a plate of cocktail hour items for us to nibble on during pictures. Their food was delicious, and was even better than when we had our taste testing! They provided beautiful decorations that went perfectly with our theme. They were so responsive from the day we booked them all the way up until the day before the wedding. They listened to every request we had and did a fantastic job of incorporating everything we had in mind. I highly recommend the pasta bar! We were so please with how everything turned out!
Response from the Vendor on 03/12/2018
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us, we truly appreciate your input and we enjoyed working with you as well.
We enjoyed sharing in your special day and hope that you will keep us in mind for upcoming events or at least spread the...
word that we made your day a smashing success.
Congratulations and may your love and happiness last beyond a lifetime!
Amici's was such a wonderful caterer to work with. From the initial quote to final execution, the staff was so nice and detail oriented. The food tasting went very well - we loved everything we tried and their menu is so extensive - it was hard to narrow it down to pick the menu, but more options is better than no options! And their prices were super affordable compared to the few other quotes we got. The week before our wedding, Amici's sent over a finalization sheet. There were so many details on there to confirm, I didn't even think about worrying that they didn't know what they were doing. It was very clear they wanted to make sure they knew everything about my expectations and that they wanted the event to go smoothly. During the event, the staff was very pleasant and attentive. We chose a plated meal, coffee station and dessert table. The presentation was beautiful and everything was delicious. I would recommend using Amici's for any event.
Response from the Vendor on 03/12/2018
Thank you for the rave review, it is very much appreciated.
We cant thank you enough for allowing us to share in your special day with you and for meeting all of your expectations.
Congratulations and much love and happiness!
I found Amici's through The Knot and they were the first catering company I looked at. I live two hours away from the Tampa area so I only met with them in person once, but they were so easy to work with and truly catered around our two hour distance. They communicated with my family and me via telephone and e-mail and were very professional and prompt. The choices in food were so difficult to narrow down options as there were so many wonderful options. The food was delicious and my guests enjoyed it as well. I highly recommend Amici's!
Response from the Vendor on 03/12/2018

Amicis catering did an amazing job at our wedding! We received SO many compliments throughout the night about how great the food was. We opted for plated salads and buffet and the salad was HUGE and so delicious! The servers were super attentive and brought us our food and checked in on us to make sure we were always okay and had what we needed. Working with Amicis beforehand was also very pleasant, they were very attentive and were timely with communication. Their pricing is super affordable especially for the quality and taste that you get. Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 01/24/2018
Thank you so much for the outstanding review, it is very much appreciated. We truly enjoyed working with you and hope that you will pass the word along to your friends and family that might be in need of a caterer. Congratulations!
It was hard to find a caterer that really fit our budget, but gave us the same great quality dinner and Amici's was a perfect find! We don't live in the area and they made sure to work with us when it came to setting up a tasting and getting everything we needed. The office staff is incredibly nice and very responsive and helpful. The actual service at our wedding was amazing. The wait staff was very nice and went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. We did buffet style, and had plenty of food and got so many compliments on the food.
Response from the Vendor on 01/24/2018
Thank you very much for the outstanding review and we truly enjoyed working with you from that 1st phone call and email...right up until the conclusion of your special evening.
Congratulations and together may all of your dreams come true....
Omg, i have received like 20 emails offering services. I requested to stop and have sent the mail to junk and they started sending emails from another mail. Generally vendors that intense before events are so uncareful when you really need them.
Amazing staff! They went above and beyond and would recommend them in a heartbeat. I had Kiki as the captain and he certainly made the night amazing.
Response from the Vendor on 08/16/2017
Thank you so much Christine for taking the time to review us. We truly enjoyed working with you from the beginning up until the very end of your reception.
Congratulations!!
Amici's did a great job taking care of every need. Their organization, responsiveness and overall capabilities made us completely comfortable leading into our wedding day.
We did a Mardi Gras themed wedding so they were able to suggest some spins on dishes to bring a cajun vibe.
Response from the Vendor on 01/24/2018
Thank you for choosing Amici's to share in your special day.
We enjoyed working with you and appreciate your kind words.
Congratulations!
Amici's did a wonderful job catering my wedding. Leading up to the day, they were very responsive, easily contacted, and overall had great customer service. The food we tried at our complementary tasting was delicious, and the atmosphere was wonderful - it was private, and made us feel valued.
However, the day of the wedding is where they REALLY shone. We had Diana for our banquet captain, and she was FABULOUS. Very thoughtful, acoomodating, and complimentary. While my bridal party was having pictures done during cocktail hour, she brought us hors d'oeuvres and water so that we wouldn't get too hungry or thirsty (it was very hot out). Overall the entire staff was just really considerate and you could easily see that they wanted to make our wedding special.
And the food! I had so many compliments from my guests about how good the food was!!! They were VERY reasonably priced, but honestly you wouldn't guess it from eating the food. It was delicious, and they definitely were able to work with me to find something to satisfy my husband's picky appetite.
Overall, HIGHLY recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 01/24/2018

Thank you so much for your outstanding review and we appreciate you taking the time to do so.
Congratulations!
Amici's was overall a perfect caterer. The food was great, they were extremely responsive and willing to make menu changes, and they were a great value. We received many compliments on the food, we were initially concerned about hiring outside catering for fear of the food being dry or overcooked but the fish, chicken and beef were all cooked perfectly and our guests loved the butter roses served. The setup was immaculate and they were quick to make changes to the set up before the reception began. Also, the servers were great and made sure that we had everything that we needed. I would definitely recommend Amici's to anyone getting married in the area.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review us, it means so much to us. We enjoyed working with you and thank you for allowing us to share in your special day. Congratulations!
We are heading to our honeymoon but I had to drop a review to show how thankful I am. Since our very first interaction with Amici's, they've been nothing but professional. They had a free "date night" tasting for potential brides (and family) that was exquisite. We chose the pasta bar as the main course and it was complemented by our guests all night as "the best pasta [they've] ever had". Not to mention that they arrived on time, provided the best customer service, and created NO DRAMA. I will recommend them to everyone.
Response from the Vendor on 04/14/2017
Thank you so much for your amazing review! The fact that you took the time as you were on your way to your honeymoon to review us makes this review even more special. Congratulations to you both <3
Amici's made the process painless. They knew exactly what we had in mind when we discussed the vision for our wedding catering. The food was excellent and the service was top notch!
Response from the Vendor on 05/19/2017
Thank you very much for your glowing review! We appreciate your kind words and enjoyed working with you and sharing in your very special day.
Congratulations to you both!
Amichi's did an amazing job at our wedding. Our guests raved about the food and service. The Amichi's crew was professional and friendly. We had heavy appetizers, buffet and pasta bar. We had gluten free, vegetarian and carnivore options. Every menu item was spot on and delicious. There was plenty of food, no waiting, hot food was hot and cold was cold. The pasta bar manned by Kiki was a huge hit. He was amazing, friendly, kept the guest moving and the pasta selection was above our exceptions. Delicious!! We cannot express how grateful we are to the entire crew for being a shining star on our most special day.
Response from the Vendor on 04/14/2017
Thanks so much for the glowing review! Wishing you the best that love and happiness has to offer and thank you for allowing us to share in your very special day.
We used Amici's for our wedding. They're exceptional, and made sure we ate! They do so much more than simply providing good food, they work a lot with design and logistics. Amici's is full of incredible people, and I'm sure that they deal with a lot of unnecessary grief. They were the third caterer we tried, and was 1000x more delicious and inventive than the other two. I started making their Feta/Watermelon/Mint cubes for weeks after we visited. I wish we had tried the Falafel fritters though, because they were not traditional falafel. We may have gone in a different direction with that choice if we had known. Not a big deal though. Anyway, they may be slightly pricier than some other caterers, but I'm certain they're worth it based on their attention to detail. Do not hesitate to go to a tasting and book them!
