New Italian restaurant Amici has launched on Aigburth Road following a £100,000 refurbishment project.

The eatery, which replaced the former Justino’s restaurant, has a capacity of 120 and includes new seating and decor throughout, a new kitchen, and a renovated bar area.

Amici’s menu features a range of Italian-inspired options from Stuzzichini and wood stone oven-fired pizzas to calzones, risotto, pasta, fish and meat dishes.

Standout mains include classic pasta dishes such as Truffle Tortellini, Spaghetti Alle Vongole, Lasagne al Forno and Spaghetti Pescatore.

On Sundays, guests can enjoy Amici’s ‘classic roast’ with a choice of roasted beef rump, roast chicken, roasted leg of lamb or nut roast, served with carrot puree, seasonal veg, braised red cabbage, rock salt roast potato, Yorkshire pudding, apricot and sage stuffing and red wine gravy.

The venue’s homebaked dessert options include chocolate raspberry brûlée served with shortbread, the ultimate Italian dessert Tiramisu, Limoncello cheesecake tart, chocolate brownie, affogato with cinnamon ice cream and Frangelico hazelnut liqueur.

Amici will be open seven days a week from 12pm. From 9pm on Friday and Saturdays, the venue will have live, acoustic music for guests who want to stay and enjoy drinks in the bar area.

James Nolan, owner of Amici, says: “After weeks of renovations and so much hard work behind the scenes, we’re delighted to unveil our new Italian restaurant, Amici, in the heart of South Liverpool on Aigburth Road.

“Here we’ve put together a menu that everyone will enjoy, from nibbles and light bites to an excellent lunch offering, to our A La Carte menu which is the showpiece of our restaurant.

“On Sundays, guests can enjoy a classic Sunday roast with all of the trimmings and for those who want to make a night of it on Friday and Saturday evenings, we’ll have acoustic music on from 9pm following our final dinner service where they can stick around to sip drinks in our bar area.

“Now that our doors are open, we’re very excited to welcome local guests and those a little further afield to Amici. We hope to see you soon for delicious Italian dishes, cocktails and wine.”
