One of the best Quattro Formaggi I had here. The quality, taste - value for money. One should also try the wine collection here. The hospitality and the sitting arrangement with proper ambience makes it a perfect place for a quite & private dinner.
I stayed at The Yas Hotel for about 10 days and while I was mostly eating at the Conferences, I made it a point to visit the alluring Italian specialty restaurant there. The restaurant has a small yet sufficient kitchen and enough indoor seating. It also housed a separate area with a long table enough for about 8-10 to sit and have a cozy dinner. The restaurant has a pretty warm feeling as you go in and the staff there is quite cordial as you would expect. They have quite a nice wine list to choose from. I went straight for the food. We ordered the fettuccine with duck ragout and a Quattro Formaggi pizza. The food lived Upto it’s expectation, especially the pizza was simply superb. The flavours were right there. The duck ragout was served with Pecorino cheese and in abundance at that. Usually I end asking for more cheese, but in this case, I was quite happy with the quantity. I was quite happy with the entire experience and was also glad that kept an evening just for Amici.
Very nice ambiance, good food, helpfull staff. Good selection of food. We visited this restaurant for dinner and lunch. We tried the seafood selection and also the meat selection. Mainly the meat is good. Everything we have tried so far is mouth watering😋special thanks to J.P who showed us extra attention. Especially my son liked him a lot. Staff is very friendly. Chef is very good and also asking everybody if they liked the food or not. Highly recommend this place if you are visiting Yas island. Thanks to all the staff.

The food was great there. They serve Authentic Italian Food. It was altogether a different experience as the food was very different as compared to the Italian food served here in India. Though there were less dishes for pure vegetarians. The service was a bit disappointing as they took too much time to serve. We opted for the outdoor seating beside the pool and it proved to be great.

We went for a dinner date to Amici, and I was satisfied with my meal. We ordered Minestrone soup, veg pizza with sun dried tomatoes, and red wine 🍷...
An authentic Italian restaurant... the food was yummy, staff was very friendly and attentive. You should try it if you happen to be in Viceroy xoxo
Place is beautiful. Staff is welcoming. Menu is very good. Dishes are delicious but portions are a bit small compared to its price. Service is okay.
Will I recommend it? Yes
The service war really good. the food was 3/5 but almost 4 so not disappointed. Great selection of wines. definitely worth a try. the race track can be a bit noisy if you sit outside.
I wish I took a photo of the food before we devoured it! It was so beautifully presented. They serve us an assortment of complimentary freshly baked bread after we ordered our food. We had tuna tartare 😍 and some kind of sautéed seafood for starters and both were phenomenal (i enjoyed our starters the most), sea urchin pasta (good but needs more sea urchin), veal (the veal was perfectly cooked but the sauce was too heavy), tiramisu & chocolate cake. Service was phenomenal, I enjoy open kitchens that you can see. Next time I will probably order the steak!
I went there yesterday with my husband and baby: a French family for a cheese and wine evening .
French cheese selection is really good, wine pairing are really good quality. There are different type of sparkling, red and white wine. The home made bread is really tasty.
The staff is friendly and nice with baby.
Amazing Cheese & wine evening !
I love the Restaurant! Im Italian and I would eat there everyday! The staff is so friendly, few of them are Italian as well! The variety of food is great, and with the stuzzichini menu you can have a little of everything, which is great! And btw the risotto with the white asparagus is "da leccarsi i baffi"- so delicious! 😋😋
Had a great meal here - menu has lots of smaller plates so you can taste quite a few dishes.
Risotto and pasta (with seasonal black truffle!) was exceptional. My partner's food was also excellent.
Great wine premium selection by the glass.
All very reasonably priced...will be back and highly recommend it.
Great food including a number of gluten free options. Friendly service. It was awhile ago that I dined there but from memory they have gluten free bread.
had a lovely birthday meal here. love the idea of generous size tapas style dishes which is great for sharing. lovely ambiance outside, went after 10pm midweek and it was still busy. the waiters were lovely and very helpful. food was quick hot and v tasty. loved it. thank you:)
so I had the Entertainer vouchers and I wanted to try yas area this time, after checking some reviews chose amici.
I was very lucky with my choice, the food is AMAZING the atmosphere is cool, the wine was tasty. everything about this place is very good .. the service as well .. normally in UAE service is very bad they either bother you a lot and come to ur table a million times or they just ignore you completely. in amici it was just like you want it to be. price/quality is great.

Amici is an excellent restaurant. A friend and I were looking for a good dinner spot to visit before heading to a comedy show at Rush. We basically chose Amici because they were close by, had an Entertainer, and best of all we could redeem the free bottle of wine that the Entertainer offers at select restaurants (If you have the book/app, don't forget to redeem that voucher! You can choose from a few good restaurants. I forgot to use mine last year and am still kicking myself for missing a deal. :-/ )
Moving on...the food. We ordered three dishes. I had a shrimp pasta on the daily special menu.
The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the sauce was light but flavorful. I'd recommend it, but I don't think it's always on the menu. My friend on the other hand had the mesclun salad and the tagliolini picanti con langostin. Just like my dish, it was nice and flavorful. He and I both agreed that it was excellent. (Mine was actually better though :-D) Our free bottle of wine was also very good. Dinner was served with a great bread basket and close to the best balsamic vinegar I've ever tasted and it was generously refilled without us having to ask.
That brings me to the other most important part...the service. As you may well know, Abu Dhabi can have service issues. Amici was definitely the exception to this. I wish I'd gotten names, but I was too focused on the food. The servers were excellent, helpful, attentive. I would go back just for the service. And the pasta. And the wine. :-)
Great Italian food and nice wine by the glass selection. Haven't seen such a variety in Abu Dhabi yet, and at a good price! They have the black truffle now and the dishes where delicious! And the Italian manager, Marco, amazing guy! Keep it up
We ended up here by mistake, but in the end loved the food. The restaurant doesn't have the best ambiance , but the fresh pizza, bread and pasta make up for it.
Without doubt, the best food decision in the past 2 weeks!
The food was delicious, well presented & just perfect.
Starters: Burata Cheese 5/5. Just heavenly!
Tuna tartar: 5/5. I could have this every single day! It deserves more than 5/5 if possible.
Main course: spicy baby chicken (weird choice? Maybe, but was really in the mood for chicken :) ). Perfectly spiced, cooked to perfection. Roasted baby tomatoes were excellent, but the roasted potatoes needed a little 'something'. Delicious meal, but not a veey good choice for a big hunger! 4.5/5
Bresaola Pizza: just right! Nothing amazing about it, but still flawless!
Definitely a come-back choice here!
Photos are dull due to low battery, so no flash!
It's good that it has pork menu but pork menu only covers for pork cold cuts and pork pizzas. The waiting time in between courses is very long on a Friday night. I could finish one glass of wine in between and fell asleep. Food is ok. The ones from the normal menu is better than those from the white truffle menu as the ones on white truffle menu have less taste in order to bring out taste of white truffle. Desert is ok. I'd say this restaurant is ok in general. Desert is quite nice though. Chocolate fondant is really melting chocolate in the middle and is matching perfectly with the chocolate fondant.
Great ambiance, great selection of wine from a wide variety and superb food.
Love this place. Relaxed atmosphere to enjoy delicious Italian food! The pizza is great and a favourite along with the risotto
