Amici Di Toni - Penrith

I have been a patron of Amici's for many years, and I can always count on the exceptional food and service. Marco, the restaurant's maitre d', is a friendly and attentive host. Every visit here has been nothing short of fantastic. The food is absolutely delicious!

We went to this restaurant with a group of 12 people on Tuesday night, 4/10/2022. The staff greeted us warmly and seated us at our tables. We enjoyed a delicious meal accompanied by good wine. The evening was going well until it was time to pay the bill. The total for the 4 tables came to $2400, which was acceptable. However, we were very frustrated to see that a 7% gratuity had been added because we were a large group, in addition to a credit card surcharge. We were never informed of these additional charges beforehand. We have been coming to this restaurant every year for 5 or 6 years, but we will not be returning. We would have given a better tip if we had not been compelled to pay a gratuity.

We had a large group at this restaurant and we all loved the service and food. The ravioli was exceptional; so light it almost melted in the mouth. The staff were attentive and friendly. Just be aware that they automatically add 7% service charge to the account, so no need to add any extra.

We haven't been here for a while but I decided to surprise hubby with dinner one Friday night! We were greeted and seated quickly, and given menus. A server returned less than 5 mins later to take our drinks order and they didn't take long to arrive. My cocktail was fabulous but hubby found the cider to be a little average. Our orders were taken soon after drinks arrived and the wait staff were all friendly and helpful as always. Our entrees didn't take long to arrive and were hot and delicious. I had stuffed zucchini flowers and they were great! Our mains came out not long after we had finished our entrees and were again hit and tasty. I had linguine bolognaise and it was so rich and tomatoey! Hubby had chicken penne (his usual) and said it was lovely. We decided to have dessert as well and hubby enjoyed his sticky date pudding while I thoroughly enjoyed a dessert cocktail with gelato and chocolate sauce in just like an alcoholic chocolate thickshake! The whole evening was wonderful, with friendly staff, great food and unobtrusive service. We will be back again!

Being a resident of the area, I should have been aware of its popularity, located in Mona Vale. Despite there being numerous Italian Restaurants in the vicinity, I had never experienced this particular one before. It was recommended by a friend, and we had a fantastic evening. The staff were all very professional and genuinely helpful, which set a positive tone for the evening. The place was bustling with customers, yet we did not feel cramped or overwhelmed by noise. The service was seamless, with a gentleman who seemed like the owner, consistently ensuring that all guests were well taken care of. I have no complaints or suggestions, only a strong desire to return for another visit. Overall, a delightful experience - YUM!
