Last week I went to lunch at Amici, I hadn't been there in about four years but it's within walking distance of my office so--with a big group of hungry people--we decided to give it a try. We all ordered starters (even though they actually "start" you with yummy rosemary flatbread for the table)--almost everything on the menu is fantastic, I ordered a baby artichoke salad with hearts of palm that was delicious, others ordered a few different soups which all looked great. Amici has incredible pasta but if you're looking for something a little lighter at lunch they have tons of fish dishes to choose from. For a main course I ordered the salmon over lentils--the portion was huge and very very good. There were a few things that others ordered that I would definitely try if when I go back including the Lobster ravioli and the Lasagna. I'd highly recommend Amici--especially if you're hungry. It's fairly quiet but there's a lovely courtyard so if the weather is nice (as it so often is in LA) it's a perfect spot for lunch.
Enjoy!
