"We went here for our anniversary meal, mainly because of the 'secret garden ' location the venue promised. Although the location was very nice, two other establishments occupied the same courtyard. This would not have been such a major factor except for the fact that at least one of the establishments (a cafe) was much, much cheaper and on first introduction their staff were a lot more welcoming: we had battled through traffic to get to Amicis and when we got there 15 minutes late, despite calling half an hour ahead of our booking to let them know we would be late, we received an extremely frosty reception. The reason given for this was that they were extremely busy and our lateness would inconvenience them. However, the place was practically empty for the whole time we were there. That being said, the Octopus starter and the burger which comprised our main meal was very nice. The other main meal and the waldorf salad really was nothing at all special and not particularly substantial. The wine was also very overpriced. I don 't think the food really justifies the price tag and fine dining might be a bit of a stretch. The atmosphere was pleasant but not exactly vibing. The restaurant had asked us to write a review and the manager was very nice in the end, but I can 't help feeling they may have been a little overconfident. The establishment seemed very clean and covid-secure though. In short, if it is the location you were going for and you are a keen home chef- try the cafe next door instead."
