Reviews
Our company hosted a client dinner at Amali and received rave reviews from everyone who attended. The private dining experience was seamless, the staff was professional, and the food was exceptional. Highly recommend for corporate events in New York City. The halibut was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. One of the best meals I've had on the Upper East Side. I can’t wait to come again.
I had an amazing experience at Amali! The food was absolutely outstanding—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Their wine selection is impressive, with perfectly curated options that complement the menu so well. What truly made the evening special, though, was the service. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, making us feel welcome from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!
This is my go to in the neighborhood! I work near by and love coming here after work or with clients. It's a beautiful, intimate restaurant. I'm never disappointed. My favorite is sitting at the bar. The bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly and always on top of it. They offer really delicious hand crafted cocktails, a variety beautiful Mediterranean wines and an extensive list of spirits. I've honestly never had a bad drink there. They also nail it on the food. I recommend sharing a few dishes to try their seasonal menu. Highly recommend this place.
Amali is one of those restaurants that immediately feels elegant but still comfortable enough to settle in for a long dinner. The dining room has this warm, intimate feel, and the service is polished without being stiff. We shared several dishes across the table and everything was excellent. The Mezze Platter and Tuna Crudo were the perfect start, and the Linguine Vongole and Filet Mignon that followed were beautifully prepared and incredibly flavorful. You can tell the kitchen really focuses on high-quality ingredients and letting them shine. The wine list is also outstanding. Our server recommended a Sardinian white that was completely new to us and it ended up being one of the highlights of the meal. It’s the kind of place where you leave feeling like you discovered something special
