Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This restaurant is a shining star in Northern Ireland. The food was amazingly fresh , great extensive menu. Staff were friendly and efficient with nothing too much trouble even though they were very busy. We had pizza, tortellini, bolognaise and penne pasta, all cooked to...perfection. Would highly recommendMore

We always try and go here when visiting Portstewart and have never had a bad experience. Carbonara is amazing and the truffle and Parmesan fries are the best. I tried the lemon curd cheesecake this time and it was delicious. Amazing view, friendly staff and...great food as always. I would recommend booking in advance as it is a busy wee place and I can understand why!More

My husband and I visited Amici’s for a Saturday lunch. We have been before and have always enjoyed. Our order was taken and I did notice the server hadn’t written it down. Not always a great sign… The food arrived promptly and my penne salmon...was lovely. It was only when my husband was eating the first 1/4 of his burger he realised there was no cheese in the hickory burger which he had ordered with chips. There was a small amount of lettuce and a small scrape of sauce. The server came back to ask if everything was ok, I explained the situation. He took the burger away immediately and assured he would rectify the order- that was fine. He came back shortly to say that the Amici burger didn’t actually come with cheese but they were sorting it in the kitchen anyway! Awkward when my husband told him it was actually the hickory burger that had been ordered which (you guessed it) he hadn’t written down!!! He did apologise and admit it was his fault. Meanwhile, I continued to pick at my food solo while it went cold. Eventually another server offered to take my food to keep it warm. Thanks to them. Shortly after the ‘new’ burger returned with the correct filling in a fresh bap. At last we could resume what we thought was going to be a nice lunch… We laughed in disbelief when my husband cut in to the burger to realise there was 1/4 missing!! Very poor to think that they couldn’t even be bothered to remake the correct order and instead scraped off and reserved the old burger!!! Burger and chips tasted fine but I’m really annoyed. Eating out is just too expensive now for things not to be right! And yes- we were charged full price!!More

Lorna and I had a wonderful night at Amici. It so pleasant to have a special evening and Joanne made our night. Not only was she so diligent but nothing was too much for her to do. The atmosphere was fantastic in the early evening...as well. 🥰More

Food fantastic, service excellent (attentive, without being overbearing), and reasonably priced. I had the Pil Pil Prawns and the Crab Ravioli special. Better half had the Arancini, and the Chicken Kebab, and daughter had Wings and the Carne Pizza. All of it was stunning. We...will be back.More

This has been our “go to” restaurant for 5/6 years. We have always enjoyed a pleasant experience. Even our last visit was good although it could have been a little warmer. The only negative comment relates to one of the meals-the two 4oz sirloin steaks....This is a regular favourite of ours. On this occasion it wasn’t up to the usual standard- two thick strips of meat. Can’t say it wasn’t sirloin but it didn’t look like the two sirloin steaks we got on all previous occasion's.More

Lovely Iralian restaurant in a beautiful location in Portstewart. Great menu with lots of gluten free choices. Staff and service were excellent. Only gripe would be that sides need to be ordered with many mains, would expect rice or chips with some dishes as standard....Food was beautiful.More

Excellent food, wine and service. This is a very pleasant place to dine the staff were lovely and everything we had was delicious. To be honest it was faultless. This place is extremely popular so a reservation is definitely recommended.

We booked in advance and on arrival despite the majority of the restaurant tables having a sea view we were led to what can only be described as a table tucked in a wardrobe. When we asked to be moved we did get a better...table but it was clear that the waiter was not happy about our request. The starter was fine but for an Italian sharing platter we had to ask specifically for olive oil and balsamic vinegar for the bread. The final straw was when they ‘forgot’ our main course. When it was served my husband had a steak with no veg or trimmings at all. Just a big hunk of meat slapped on the plate. Overall the food was not bad but it was the little details that let it down. For £110 for two people we will not be back, it wasn’t worth it.More

Great spot if you don't care how much you pay for non exceptional food!!! Portions and quality not like it used to be - prices also unreasonably/unjustifiable hiked up - not really worth it . Getting a bit like the eateries at Portrush Harbour.

Amici is simply leagues ahead of restaurants in the North coast. The staff are always extremely attentive, friendly and welcoming- nothing is ever too much bother. Very few places can boast of a such exceptional staff and that is definitely one of the many reasons...for the success of Amici....as well as of course the food. The menu is simply fantastic: catering for all tastes and preferences with excellent quality dishes, perfectly presented. My husband and I love to share starters of the salt and chilli prawns and the chicken wings. They are fantastic. Possibly the best anywhere. My husband loves the seafood pasta, I love the sea bass or salmon. We usually share the sticky toffee pudding- to die for with Morelli's world famous ice cream. The Spanish house white Sauvignon blanc is superb and served ice cold . Again something you cannot rely on other restaurants to get right. We have been for a couple of meals recently and thought we would do another review as the restaurant is still consistently superb. The Sunday lunch special is amazing value and again hard to beat. Book early to avoid disappointment.More

Sorry I don't know. They do have outside space now so might be worth asking if they can accommodate a dog.
