OUR STORY

About Us

WHO WE ARE

AMICI stands for African, Mexican, Indian, Caribbean, and Italian — five flavorful worlds coming together in one unforgettable dining experience. Our name also means “friends,” because at AMICI, every guest is treated like family. We bring cultures, spices, and stories to life — blending bold global flavors with local heart. Each dish is crafted with passion, creativity, and love, celebrating the beauty of connection through food. From soulful Caribbean comfort to rich Italian classics, every bite tells a story of unity and flavor. Our commitment to authenticity and excellence has caught the attention of many — even food critic Keith Lee, who visited AMICI twice and praised our welcoming atmosphere and world-class taste. Whether you’re joining us for your first meal or returning for your favorite dish, AMICI is where the world comes together as friends, flavor, and family.

About Our Chef & Owner – Chef Alfio

Chef Alfio is the heart and soul of AMICI — a passionate chef, a proud father, and the visionary who turned a family dream into a global fusion experience.

For Chef Alfio, cooking has always been about more than just food — it’s about flavor, creativity, and happiness. He loves experimenting with different cuisines, blending spices and techniques from around the world to create dishes that surprise and delight. What drives him most is seeing the smiles and joy on customers’ faces as they enjoy each bite.

The inspiration for AMICI began at home. One day, after making his signature arancini, his children asked, “Papa, why don’t you try making food from other cultures?”
That simple, heartfelt question became the spark that started AMICI — a restaurant that celebrates African, Mexican, Indian, Caribbean, and Italian cuisines, all brought together by love and family.

Today, AMICI isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a family. With his beautiful wife and kids by his side, Chef Alfio continues to share his passion for food, friendship, and cultural connection — one flavorful experiment at a time.
