Trattoria Amici At The Americana At Brand

Brad Altfest a month ago

Had such a great time today with Luis. We said we would taste our way through the menu, and he made sure to just make us feel VIP the entire time. The results were splendid. We began with an assortment of the summer panzanela, which perfectly paired the salty cheese and light vinegerette with the sweet and refreshing watermelon. We had to try the carciofi en carozza, which blew my mind by incorporating a perfectly fried artichoke heart with scrumptious gooey cheese in a perfectly seasoned and breaded skin. The raw branzino appetizer what is a perfect expression of Cal-Italian meets Latin America inspiration - it was effectively like a branzino ceviche. And every bit as delicious as that sounds. And the Squid Ink Lobster ravioli dominated by the lobster flavor, where raviolis can so frequently be lost in cheese. We have to try so many of the different artisanal cocktails that I don't even remember the names of any of them, which is a mere indication of just what a good time we had. I've had good times here. Can't wait to have more.

We stopped by this restaurant while visiting the mall because it looked a nice restaurant. Since we ordered quite a bit, we requested to move to a larger table. Overall, the food portions aren't very big. But I thought the calamari and lasagna was pretty good, and the dessert was pretty tasty too, but nothing was particularly impressive. The service was hmmm okay. I expected better. It felt like our server wasn't around very often.

Very fancy place, a little too expensive for my liking. Plates had good presentation, taste was good not great. Service was excellent and the place very clean and calm.

This was my first time dining here, and although the evening started a little uncertain, it ultimately turned into a wonderful experience. We arrived as a walk-in and were quoted about a 45-minute wait, which felt reasonable given how busy the restaurant was and we had no reservations and it was a Saturday evening. The hosts seemed a bit reserved at first. They looked fairly young, so perhaps they are still finding their rhythm in hospitality. When our table became available, we requested a booth, but initially that request was brushed off despite us trying to explain why it would be more comfortable for our group. After briefly speaking with the manager, everything shifted for the better. Luis immediately addressed the situation and graciously moved us to a booth without hesitation. His professionalism and attentiveness set the tone for the rest of the evening. From there, the service was exceptional. Our waiter, Ricardo, was absolutely fantastic. He was warm, patient, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire meal. He even helped us relocate our belongings when we changed tables and consistently checked in to make sure everything was perfect. At one point I experienced

We ordered the seafood pasta and carbonara. The clams were not properly purged, so I ended up biting into sand. Our water was never refilled, and when our friends ordered beers, they never received them and had to ask more than three times—only to be served the wrong beers in the end. The best thing we had was the fried calamari. The restaurant seems popular mainly because of its location. The food was very mediocre, the service was below average, but the atmosphere was great. I would not come back.
