Ever heard what most people are raving about nowadays? It is no other than Amici. Any true-blue food lover would have heard about this resto. It offers nothing but original taste Italian resto in Makati City. It is authentic Italian cuisine brought to us by one of the entrepreneurial Italian Salesian Priest, Fr. Gianlugi Colombo, SDB. Amici is an Italian restaurant specializing in pizza, pasta, panini, and gelato. Now, having said that it is “original”, it means that its not the Italian food that we grew up in Manila — Spaghetti that is sweet with red meat sauce (Pinoy-style spaghetti). If you haven’t eaten in Amici yet, then I suggest that you watch a movie at Walter Mart Makati and walk towards Amici right after. Amici is located at Arnaiz Ave., Makati City beside Don Bosco.

Place- the resto has a cafeteria ambiance wherein pizza, pasta and gelato are ordered from their respective counters. It is actually self-service where you have to pay as you order and get your own utensils and condiments. This may be a little confusing for first time customers. The whole feel and atmosphere of the place is very casual. The place is big but lines are pretty long. Also, the location is not accessible (the ones beside Don Bosco). Parking will always be an issue.

Price- since food is authentic, it is expected that food may be a little pricey. Most likely some of the profits go to a good cause since this restaurant, as far as I know, is operated by Salesian priests. The restaurant accepts credit cards.

Food- I did not have the chance to try everything but based on the pasta, panini, pizza and gelato, it was “Simply Scrumptuous!” just like what it says on their brochure. If I was one of those lucky ones born with a super fast metabolism, I probably would have ordered everything. Everything just seemed so tempting! This may be debatable because there are Filipinos who would not like the Italian taste.
