When I go to a restaurant, I usually expect to be dazzled, but more often the experience is disappointing rather than enlightening. It is a good thing restaurants like Bei Amici exist, because they are exemplary for the fact that great food does not have to be over-expensive, neither over-presented. I went there last Friday, and can honestly say that I had some of the best food I ever tasted. The house made gnocchi with milk fed lamb and tomato ragu went down my throat as smoothly as the nero d'avola. Although I was full after entree and main, curiosity won and I ordered dessert, which was absolutely to die for. Everyone for whom taste and professional friendly service are of first priority should not miss out on dining here.

The first time I went to this place a couple of years ago I loved it, and the price. Now, the servings are smallish, prices high for a small restaurant that lacks modern flair. This should be a cheap but high quality eatery, unfortunately, it is not. The waiter service was quite rude and abrupt. The wine is a lot more expensive than it used to be. For the above average food, poor service and relatively high prices, I can no longer recommend this establishment, and will not return.

Booked a table here after a friend recommended this place and I have to say it didn't disappoint. Had an entree prawns and my boyfriend had the angel hair pasta. Then we shared the veal shin with saffron rissoto and the pumpkin and reggiano souflee..they were absolutley delicious.
The service was spot on.. food flavoursome and will definitely be going back again.

I went to Bei Amici recently again after a few years and with the new ownership the food is hugely improved. Prices and the wine list are reasonable and we had just the most amazing risotto with bug meat and melt in the mouth gnocchi. I highly recommend this as a brilliant local restaurant.

Bei Amici is a local institution in the Darling Point area and after changing hands earlier this year I must admit I booked a large table with a little in trepidation.
Much to my surprise the new owners had not only retained the charm and excellent services but also managed to update the already excellent menu. We all had a blast with a relatively small menu and a diverse range of pallets I was amazed that everyone left with not a unhappy camper insight.
The service from our hosts was happily dictated by our pace, a few late comers etc and nothing was too much trouble. I have recently returned with both my mother and a date. (Not at the same sitting). In summary this is a casual dining experience, with excellent services, a great atmosphere and a delicious and interesting menu relevant for any occasion.

This place used to be our favourite restaurant before we left Potts Point area. After two years we came back to Australia and we made booking there and it's just like many places in Sydney - everything is crispy and confit and lightly something, etc. But food is just average, over priced and we coludn't choose from menu, because there is nothing special. Never come again.

After reading other reviews we were not sure what to expect. We shared entrees of whitebait fritters with cucumber and chilli and calamari with ricotta and pistachios which both were delicious and perfect sized portions, followed by angel hair pasta with blue swimmer crab and spaghetti with meatballs.
Filling dishes beautifully presented both very fresh tasting and delivered 10 minutes or less after the entrees were cleared. The staff were attentive and friendly and the venue is inviting. Cons... A few seats wouldn't appeal i.e. in the doorway and the chair backs are not comfortable, but I'm clutching at straws. Yes, recommended and yes, will be back but will book with more notice, just in case, I have to go back to try a dessert next time.

Good local Italian, but not as top-notch as some of the reviews would have you believe. Angel-hair pasta with crab and duck risotto are both faves, but the meat mains are stodgy and old-fashioned and the desserts are fairly simple. The wait-staff are always friendly, smiling and helpful, but had to deduct points for the l-o-n-g time between courses and the fairly cramped seating arrangements and noisiness of this place. I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here, but friends live down the road which make it an okay choice.

Up from Melbourne for a couple of days, so got the big group together, we voted it the best dinner out together ever! The food was unbelievable, chrissie kept the vino flowing and taught us about volcano-grass eating cows. We ate, drank and laughed all night. Pretty perfect really.
