This place was really good. Authentic and home made just like my nonnas cooking... only better (thankfully she is not tech savvy or I would have to beware of the wooden spoon). I will definitely be going back. The food is amazing and the renovated and have new management and staff so now it’s a really pleasant place to enjoy great food.
My wife and I are frequent customers, always bustling, very friendly and the food is bar non the best on Deman. It's small, but intimate and we love it when the chef comes out to talk to the customers and see how their dinner was
I love it when I discover new little places with a whole lot of heart. There’s no question that’s the case at Amici Miei Cucina Italiana (1114 Denman St. 604-563-6610), in Vancouver’s West End.
Owners Manrico Serpente and Marcella Gentile told me they came to Vancouver last year for the very first time, from Abruzzo, Italy. It’s not easy to make such a move in mid-life. They’re truly delightful people and I wish them every success.
Amici itself is nothing fancy: the room is simply but cleanly furnished—and that very much reflects what’s on the menu. The fare is straightforward but the sauces are delicious. Amici’s Miei’s menu is divided into small tapas plates (which seem more generous than most) and pasta dishes listed by sauce style—as in red white and rosé. Most of the pasta is made in house fresh daily. Purchased pasta (more elaborate, Rigatoni and Fusili) is clearly marked on the menu.
