Founded in 2010, Amici Restaurant and Pizzeria has earned its place as one of Caloundra’s most trusted Italian restaurants, built on 15 years of consistent food, warm service and a genuinely local approach to hospitality. Situated on the corner of Knox Avenue and Bulcock Street, the restaurant is run by owners Sarah and Jason, who between them look after the front of house and kitchen with the kind of personal investment that larger venues rarely match.
The menu covers the Italian spectrum well, from classic pasta and wood-fired style pizza to more considered mains. Signature dishes include the Chicken Al Bacio with tiger prawns, garlic and Napoli sauce on mashed potato, spaghetti marinara loaded with fresh seafood, pulled pork pizza with rocket slaw, and gnocchi. Desserts are worth saving room for, with Bailey’s crème brûlée and tiramisu among the standouts. Gluten-friendly, vegetarian and vegan options are available throughout the menu.
