Amici's: Not Your Typical Italian in Kendall

Walking through Kendall and finding a place that truly surprises you is rare. I thought I knew every corner, every spot, every taste. But Amici's on Hammocks Blvd left me speechless. Nestled at 10201 Hammocks Blvd, this restaurant is not the typical Italian spot you’d expect to find in Miami.

What do you get from reading this? An authentic recipe that challenges the typical pizza and pasta flooding the city. I promise you. And also, an almost secret feeling of having discovered something tourists can't even imagine.

The other night, precisely at 8:22pm, while savoring a Pasta al Limone that, honestly, I didn’t expect to make me close my eyes in delight, the revelation hit. A brilliant mix of citrus and parmesan that was... unexpected. Perhaps it was my mistake to assume it was just another restaurant in Kendall.

And you might wonder, how much does such pleasure cost? Just $19 exact, more than justified in every bite. Seriously, take a look at their Instagram, although it doesn’t do justice to the real experience. Visit their website if you want to be the first to know about their specials.

Moreover, the place has that neighborhood vibe, where neighbors greet each other by name and conversation flows with the usual warmth. Trust me, you don’t find this in a tourist spot.

And now I ask you, what other hidden gems in Kendall are we missing while chasing what everyone already knows?
