Dinner for 4 - started out with the calamari and crispy brussel sprouts, then had the NY strip steak, Sicilian rigatoni and Ciao Italia pizza. Generally to a high standard, although the pizza was on the little salty side this time. Completely packed so had to park in the street. Otherwise another great meal
Amalfi's Kitchen & BarResponded on 2 March 2025
Thank you for dining with us, Seong-Won! We're glad you enjoyed the calamari, crispy Brussels sprouts, NY strip steak, and Sicilian rigatoni. We appreciate your feedback on the Ciao Italia pizza being a tad salty—rest assured, we'll look into it. We're sorry about the parking situation due to the crowd but are thrilled that you had another great meal with us. See you next time!

The various beverages, entrees and desserts were good for this style of restaurant / bar. The food was delivered quickly; almost too fast in the case of an individual pizza compared to the other entrees. Our Server, Jessica (C?) , was attentive and friendly, and the support team was very good.

Not the norm. Normally we have great service and great food at Amalfi's. And while our server was pleasant, there was a severe lack of "checking in" especially when our food was significantly delayed. And by "significantly delayed", I mean multiple tables, and even a table for 8 who came in at least 30 minutes after us, ordered, ate and were finished at about the same time we finally received our food. We DID flag down a manager and our food arrived within minutes after that. What I was even more surprised with....neither the manager nor the server acknowledged or apologized for the wait. Like I said, this is not the "norm" for our experiences at Amalfii's. I hope it's better the next time we go.
Amalfi's Kitchen & BarResponded on 15 December 2024
Lisa, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet the high standards we strive for. Your feedback on service and food timing is invaluable, and we’ll address it with our team to ensure improvements. We appreciate your loyalty and hope to provide you with the exceptional experience you’ve come to expect on your next visit. Thank you for your support!
