Trattoria Amici At The Americana At Brand

This places was amazing. Starting from the look all the way to the stellar service. From the welcome time all the way until you leave. Servers, Waitress, the welcome people all of them were amazing. Amazing atmosphere. I personally don’t like Italian food (my boyfriend does) and we went there. What I can tell you is that I am going back! Good was delicious … You should try it

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.

That place was packed, but we still found a table. Everything was clean, and the server was really nice and helpful with the menus. The carbonara was spot on, very yummy! The Rigatoni Norcina, on the other hand, had too much truffle mushroom flavor. I’m not a mushroom person, so it wasn’t my first choice. The wine was cold and good too. We just sat down, and after about 10 minutes they served our pasta, it was really fast and delicious. 10/10, will definitely come back again!

Me and my family's favorite place to have dinner. The food is exceptional and the service is very quick and efficient. The manager Luis is constantly checking tables for client satisfaction. This is a great combination!

I visited Trattoria Amici at The Americana at Brand for a weekday lunch, and it was such a pleasant experience. Since the weather was beautiful, we chose to sit on the terrace, which turned out to be the perfect decision. The outdoor seating offers a wonderful view of the lively Americana promenade, creating a relaxed and stylish atmosphere where you can truly unwind. The space feels versatile, making it equally suitable for a family outing, a casual yet elegant date, a group gathering with friends, or even a business lunch. The menu features classic Italian cuisine prepared with a California twist, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. I was impressed to learn that the pasta is handmade daily, which I will definitely try on my next visit, but this time I was in the mood for pizza. We also ordered the calamari and the grilled salmon, both of which were delicious crispy and light calamari and perfectly cooked salmon with a flavorful balance. Their beverage menu is another highlight, offering a wide selection of wines and creative cocktails. Even the non-alcoholic berry based drink I tried was refreshing, vibrant, and full of natural flavor. Overall, this place combines quality food, attentive service, and a beautiful setting, making it a spot I look forward to returning to.

We ate dinner tonight for the first time in a while and we are amazed at how great this restaurant is. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. I loved the squash blossoms, they are a personal favorite of mine. The octopus salad is the best I've ever had, same with the ribeye steak. Even my daughter's spaghetti with meatballs was fantastic and made with fresh pasta. I highly recommend getting the pasta carbonara, my wife ordered it and LOVED it. She is a great chef and is very picky about her food, so that says a lot! We ordered a variety of deserts and they were all great. The service was excellent and the staff is super friendly. We ate on the patio and it was Christmas time at the Americana - the atmosphere was wonderful. I highly recommend eating here, you won't regret it!
