Amici Italian - Springfield

We found the restaurant and then discovered that it was not part of the very good Amici chain in N. Cal. This place was in the lobby bar of a Holiday Inn in Eugene, Or. Menu without interest, empty space.

Customer service was great. I just wish they would use larger plates because the food looks too full with the small plates they serve. Overall great place, little music would be great. It was too quiet!!! More lighting .

We made our Open Table reservation, but once we arrived, there was only one occupied table. The table we had reserved however, had a nice reserved placard posted, I suppose in case the place filled up! Our server was very pleasant and attentive. Since this was our first visit, we asked for her recommendations, and received what I believe to be genuine feedback. We had the Bruschetta appetizer, which was excellent. Our entrees were spaghetti and meatballs, and chicken Parmesan respectively. The chicken Parmesan was breaded and fried (as advertised), but surprisingly very light and tasty. It was a huge portion, and the spaghetti it was served on was perfect. The meatballs in the spaghetti and meatballs were plentiful and large. Unfortunately, they lacked much character, seasoning and taste. Again however, the spaghetti was perfect, and the marinara was excellent. Apparently the Chef likes fresh Parmesan cheese, since it was plentiful on both entrees. Very good! Overall, for Springfield, Oregon, inside a Holiday Inn, I would have to say it exceeded my expectations. The prices are very reasonable, and we will definitely return to try some of the different dishes and Pizza.

Tent for Thanksgiving Buffet. Poor selection and food quality is low and was not worth the high price. I don't recommend it. It was quiet and quickly got a table.

Very disappointed. Reviews were great, but when we were there, there was no one in the dining area, only people at the bar. I ordered the signature court of Fatuccini Alfredo and it was terrible. No taste at all. Broccoli was not damped as indicated on the menu, it was microwave and way past. Don't go back.
