Amici Miei Review

A place favored by meat eaters who can't take another bite of sea bass, this small, dark, and cozy den is well loved for specials such as tender carpaccio with fresh artichoke hearts, and a rice-and-arugula dish featuring duck breast. There are also excellent pasta dishes, such as orecchiette with chickpeas or alla barese (with chewy green turnips), or that extravaganza, the carnevale lasagne, an especially rich concoction relied on to sustain revelers in the build-up before Lent. Everyone finishes with a slice of chocolate and hazelnut torta caprese.
