Absolutely perfect!!

Everything was perfect! From the initial phone call to request menu and pricing for my wedding rehearsal dinner to the final goodbye, the service and professionalism was extraordinary. Cierra was my initial contact person, and she helped to guide me through menu selections and additional services Amici’s provides. Kiki was the captain in charge of my dinner. He is so experienced, calm, and confident in Amici’s catering, At the visit to my home a week prior to discuss where we would place tables and chairs, appetizers, pasta station, carving station, coffee station, and desserts he knew from experience where everything should be placed to make things flow smoothly. John, Carol, Juri, and Chad were Kiki’s team. The five of them worked so harmoniously, it was so reassuring that I only had to be the hostess and not worry about any little detail.
I am so happy that I had Amici’s cater this very important event for me.

guests are still talking about the food and service!

The Amici’s team was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were professional, organized, and a pleasure to collaborate with—especially Cassie, who made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

We chose the gold plated dinner, and it exceeded our expectations. So many of our guests complimented both the quality of the food and how attentive and friendly the servers were throughout the evening.

The hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour were a huge hit and really elevated the overall atmosphere of the event. Everything felt thoughtful, well-executed, and delicious.

We highly recommend the team at Amici’s for any wedding or special event!

Amici's Is Amazing!

Amici's was one of our best wedding decisions! They were so responsive and helpful every step of the process. Figuring out catering felt very daunting at first, but their team made everything fun and straightforward. They worked closely with our wedding coordinator to nail the logistics of our in home wedding, and elevated their setup and presentation with decor pieces that accented our colors/theme. We had a small 30 guest wedding at my husband's parent's home. THE FOOD IS AMAZING! Our guests gave so many compliments on the food taste/quality, flow of service (cocktail hour, buffet dinner, cake cutting), and the staff's kindness and attentiveness. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Amici's for all your event catering needs!!

Amazing wedding catering!

My husband and I were so impressed with the service and quality of food we received leading up to and at our wedding! Amici’s worked with us and our wedding planner to create a fantastic menu for our wedding. They even let us come back for a second tasting because we were deciding between 2 appetizers. All of our guests loved our wedding food. Amici’s also create a large charcuterie table for us during cocktail hour and it was a hit with our guests. I highly recommend amici’s for the price point and amazing quality of food!

The best catering

I used Amici’ catering for my daughter’s sweet fifteen and it was a great experience. The food was excellent, great service, happy with quantity and professionalism of their servers. I will use them again.

Amazing food

Choosing Amici's for our wedding was an absolute delight! The food exceeded our expectations, and there was an abundance of it. From the initial food-tasting, we knew we were in for a treat. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was. The staff was outstanding—professional and attentive. They went above and beyond, even saving my day before I walked down the aisle by providing lip gloss from their personal items. I highly recommend them and would absolutely choose them again without hesitation.

Quality service, delicious food!

We had a great experience with Amici's Catering for our 80 person wedding! They were organized and communicative on the front end, and prompt and helpful on the day-of. The guests remarked how great the food was, especially the Cobia entree! They also helped us feature a special vegetarian entree for the Groom and our many other vegetarian/vegan guests. Highly recommend Amici's for anyone's catering needs!

Highly Recommend, truly made the Wedding a success!

Our wedding planner absconded 3 days prior to our daughter’s wedding not having made any wedding arrangements pursuant to the contract, and monies paid were spent elsewhere. On a wing and a prayer, we called various vendors. Cierra, of Amici’s, heard our story and confirmed with her Manager that they would cater our event in 3 days even though they were already over-booked! This was such a relief and the staff was so flexible, linens provided, color scheme matched, plate-ware and utensils included, plus the amazing food and serving staff, and 2- Water stations all at a reasonable cost! We cannot praise Amici’s enough! Call them, you will be happy you did! Top-rate St. Petersburg business!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
