Amici Cafe

Excellent little place in Def col. Quaint and cozy atmosphere which is lovely for a intimate dinner alone or for couples. The service staff is friendly, courteous and helpful. Ordered the spinach ricotta ravioli and a couple beers which came quite promptly. Food was piping hot and beer was super chilled as it should be. Portions are great and the taste was simply superb. All in a perfect Italian cuisine restaurant. Will definitely be coming here again. Recommend to add it to your must try places...

We went to this cafe for their wood fired oven pizzas, but turns out they have a pretty extensive menu of sandwiches, burgers, pastas, and other generic European continental food. We ordered a Mexican bean burger with tempered expectations, but it turned out to be delicious. The burger patty was spicy, and it’s soft texture was complimented by the creamy avocado and crunchy corn chips. It came with a side of fries and salsa. We also got a mushroom pizza with blue cheese and caramelised onions. The crust on the pizza was charred, hence crisp, and all the toppings were super flavourful. We drizzled it with some Italian hot oil, which was served on the table among other condiments. The funkiness of the blue cheese was balanced with the sweetness of the caramelised onions; it’s not a pizza I would normally order, but I was glad I did. The service was prompt and the servers were friendly and competent. The music fit the theme and vibe of the restaurant, and was noticeably boppy without being so loud as to disrupt conversation. This restaurant is in the Defence Colony main market; the nearest metro station is Lajpat Nagar. You could reasonably walk from the metro station (it’s about 2kms), but unless you live in the area, an auto or cab might be preferably.
