Amici Café
is a local chain with restaurants in Athens, Covington, Madison, Milledgeville
and Monroe. It bills itself as an “Italian Café” and serves Italian food
(pizzas and pastas) as well as American sports bar staples (each location has
their own menu, but they serve mostly the same fare). The downtown location is
very popular with undergraduates and packed on “Wings Night.”
We
start with a House Salad ($7.59), which is uneventful but very fresh. We then
move on to the main claim to fame of Amici’s, the Wings, which are pretty
chunky and crispy. We get 12 Wings ($9.99) and have them divided between two
sauces (XXX and Jalapeno Honey). They are well coated in sauce, but there is
enough to dip. The XXX is really spicy (particularly when you double dip them).
We also get a Basket of Fries ($3.99), which are prefab, but thick and crispy
with a light salty dusting. Very nice!
VERDICT: 86/100
Amici’s
is much more a place for American than Italian fare. The pastas are poor, the
pizzas ok, but the wings are great.
