Everyone at our wedding RAVED about our food. We made the rookie bride and groom mistake of not eating cause we got carried away… which is so sad because I heard it was so phenomenal and some of the best wedding food people have ever had. We had a plated meal and the presentation was wonderful as well. The process of planning was easy and everyone I spoke to/interacted with was so kind. Being a destination bride and not getting to try the food prior was nerve racking, but If I could do my wedding all over again, I would choose Amicis without hesitation.

Discover Your Perfect Dining Style

Once you have chosen a venue and a date for your event, then comes the fun part. Picking your menu! First, you have to decide which style of dining you prefer.

 

Sit-Down Dinner – This is when all the guests are seated and served a formal dinner. Typically, it consists of two courses (an appetizer and an entrĂ©e), plus dessert if it’s served tableside.

 

Buffet-Style Dinner – A buffet features long tables topped with a wide variety of food options. Your guests will get up to be served at the buffet line.

 

Self-Serve Stations – Stations are very similar to buffets in that they give your guests a nice variety of food options. Stations typically have tables or areas specifically dedicated to certain dishes or types of foods.

 

Chef Manned Action Station – Guests choose their favorite combination as the chef prepares their dish in front of them.

 

Cocktail-Styled Dinner – A cocktail-style reception means no seating charts, no tablespace fuss…none of that. Instead, you and your guests can mix, mingle, and dance all night and snack on small bites butler passed by our friendly staff.

 

Now that you know your dining style, check out our menu.

Warning: Don’t read the menu if you are hungry.

Amici’s Catered Cuisine Celebrates 40 Years In Business

Celebrating

40

Years in business

We’re proud to announce that we’ve been operating for 40 years. That’s a lot of business experience for one company! Michael Lamando started his business in 1983,  just 5 days after he graduated from Florida State University. Amici’s original customers may remember having a beer while waiting in line to pick up their party planners or deli favorites. As his customer base grew so did their food orders. It was then that Michael started looking for the best in the industry to join his team. 

We started as a small deli with just 2 employees and have since grown into a full-service off-premise catering company with over 100 employees.

Our current office and kitchen are located in Oldsmar. We have a fantastic office team, chefs, and kitchen staff, as well as about 100 part-time catering staff professionals; bartenders, event captains, and servers.

We’re celebrating 40 years of serving our customers—the best way we know how: with great food, new technology, and a never-ending passion for catering. We’re always looking for new ways to serve our customers to improve our services, over the years we’ve run into just about any situation you can think of. A few years ago we purchased a GENERAC generator to make sure we can operate during hurricane season. In Florida, you don’t need an actual hurricane to come through but enough wind and rain will take the electricity out and we love to be prepared. This year we purchased a Rational iCombi Pro which is an oven on steroids. We can accommodate large social gatherings, corporate events, and weddings.
