The heart of trattoria style
cooking is homey, unpretentious, honest and homemade food like you find
at Amici Italian Trattoria in Rancho Mirage, California. Robust food is served without frills or fuss. This is the body
and substance of small, neighborhood fare all over Italy. At Amici
Italian Trattoria, the menu is
prepared fresh everyday and changes regularly so that they can
bring you the many, many recipes and freshest ingredients possible.
The menu is extensive and covers virtually every Italian culinary
category. Try the Linguine con Cozze, Prince Edward Island black mussels
in a spicy marinara with garlic and white wine and a touch of crushed
red pepper over linguini or the Rigatoni con Prosciutto e Piselli, pasta
sautéed in a parmesan cream sauce with prosciutto, wild mushrooms,
peapods and fresh tomatoes. If you're in a little more traditional mood,
Mama Beppo's Spaghetti sautéed with garlic, olive oil, crushed red
pepper and a touch of lemon and Parmigiano will hit the spot.
Not in a mood for pasta? There are
sandwiches, salads and even brunch available. Try the Rosemary Chicken
Insalata made with grilled chicken breast
and served on mixed greens with artichoke hearts, capers, Kalamata
olives and roasted red peppers or the Asparagus, Blue Cheese, Onion &
Tomato salad made with asparagus spears with red onion, crumbled blue
cheese, tomato and olive oil
