    The pizza (Romana) was fairly priced but was found wanting in general. The atmosphere was slightly gloomy and the gelato (pistachio) wasn't the best in Watamu by far. Service was ok could have been much better with a few smiles and some thank you's. They did have a good selection of pastries, however didn't try any. Pastries looked better at some other establishments to be honest.

    The best pizza I have had in Kenya. They have a woodfire pizza oven. The pizza are not Neapel style but more like with you get in Rome. Really wort a try. The coffee is also so fare the best in Kenya. Prices are on the higher end.

    we always struggled to get a really good meal in watamu but since we tried Amici!! ooooo everything is a top notch. drom the pizza prepared by Kahindi to the rest of the meals prepared by the main kitchen was just amazing. Service from Teresa was top. Can't wait to get back to Amici. Thank you very much Amici.
