Trattoria Amici At The Americana At Brand

A huge thank you to Scott, our server, who made the experience exceptional: kind, attentive, extremely professional, truly flawless from start to finish. His recommendations were spot-on and his service was always present without being intrusive. An Italian spot not to be missed in Los Angeles. Trattoria Amici is a wonderful discovery in the heart of Los Angeles. The setting is elegant without being pretentious, perfect for a dinner with friends or a romantic evening

Just dined at Trattoria Amici, and overall, everything was good. The place is nice, and the staff are professional. However we waited almost 35 minutes for the food but I considered it as a weekend traffic. The food was great, especially the Lasagna Verde made with spinach lasagna highly recommended! The Carbonara pasta was also well-made and sort of traditional, and the Pizza Margherita was good, although I expected a bit more for an Italian place. The Lemon Sorbet dessert was smooth and cool.

This place is my personal “comfort zone” —the spot I run to whenever the urge for genuine Italian coziness strikes. The menu isn’t sprawling, but every dish that does make the cut is dialed-in perfection. Pro tip: ask your server about off-menu specials—there’s often a hidden treasure or two waiting in the wings. Why I keep coming back • Service that sparkles: prompt, friendly, and genuinely happy to see you. That energy makes every bite taste better. • Desserts worth a detour: the molten lava cake and tangy-sweet lemon sorbet are otherworldly—my non-negotiable finales. • Standout plates: – Pastas: silky, saucy, unforgettable. – Risotto: pure velvet—chef’s-kiss divine. – Amici salad: crisp, colorful, perfect. – Caprese & Caesar: textbook classics done right. – Pizzas: wood-fired bliss. – Lamb chops & other meats: reliably satisfying. – Mashed potatoes: cloud-soft comfort. – Steak & fish: solid supporting players. • Wine list: thoughtfully curated with something for every mood. Whether you’re after a cozy family gathering, a relaxed catch-up with friends, or a quietly romantic evening , this hidden delivers every time.

Had the best Sunday brunch at Trattoria Amici at The Americana! We got lucky snagging an outdoor table around 11:30 AM without a reservation, but by noon, the place was packed—so if you’re coming on a weekend, I’d definitely recommend booking ahead. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxed brunch, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. One thing I love about this place is that it’s dog-friendly—we brought our pup, Cooper, along, and the staff was so welcoming. They even brought out a water bowl for him, which was such a nice touch! Now, onto the food. We started with the Caesar Salad and the Melanzane Alla Parmigiana. The salad was fresh, crisp, and perfectly dressed. The eggplant parm was different from what I expected, but it was super flavorful and really delicious. For our mains, we shared the Lemon Ricotta Pasta and the Salame Pizza. The pasta was good—nice balance of creamy and citrusy—but probably not something I’d order again. The pizza, though? Perfectly thin-crusted and absolutely delicious. You can never go wrong with their pizza! Overall, Trattoria Amici gets a solid 5/5 from me. The food was great, the service was even better, and the whole experience was just easy and enjoyable. Whether you’re coming for a casual brunch, date night, or bringing your pup along for a meal, this place is always a win. Just make sure to grab a reservation if you’re coming during peak hours!

Amici at the Americana is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were treated to an incredible dining experience. The food was simply amazing! It was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish exceeded expectations. In fact the carpaccio was better than my favorite restaurant in Miami and that is hard to beat. What truly set this experience apart was the outstanding service. The manager, Luis, went above and beyond, checking in with us multiple times to ensure everything was perfect. His warmth and attentiveness made us feel truly valued as guests. A huge pleasure dining here, and I can't wait to come back. Highly recommend!

I ordered the Parmigiana Di Pollo (chicken parm) and it was delicious, probably one of the best I’ve ever had. The ambience of the restaurant was very nice and elegant, the staff was great and the food was fantastic. It wasn’t the highest end restaurant but they make you feel like it is.

Went there with family on a bright Spring day, celebrating Easter. We walked in and grabbed an outdoor table. I guess with the beautiful weather and cool breeze, the food just tasted even better! Dishes ordered were fried calamari and different pasta. Seafood were fresh, and the pasta were extra delicious. Pasta was made "in house" were fresh and just the right chewiness. I was pleasantly surprised to receive 1/2 of a lobster to my pasta. All the sauces were delicious. Don't skip their desserts! We tasted their tiramisu and custard; both were unique and not too sweet.

Love the ambiance! Totally worth the wait. A true gem in Glendale, definitely my favourite place in the area. Extremely delicious food, can’t wait to visit it again next time!
