Sarah ArnoldFebruary 5, 2014You can't go wrong with the tagliatelle or orecchiette special if it's available. The burrata app and Brussels are also great. But whatever you do, get the eggplant. And of course pay with Cover!- lanamaniacMarch 6, 2016Get the Farro salad and brick chicken. You won't regret it! Also, the bubbly wines and cocktails are good as well.
Michael G.November 3, 2021Fantastic food! The quinoa crusted duck, ravioli, whipped feta, ans grilled chicories were all delightful. Outdoor seating setup was great but unfortunately no heaters
Bridget GaelSeptember 10, 2021Loved Amali! Buzzy ambiance with great cocktails (we liked the vodka grapefruit one) and that seafood forward tapas (octopus w fingerling potatoes and the heirloom tomato hummus were hits)
Mike FriedmanDecember 26, 2014Hip, wholesome, delicious Mediterranean food. Try the Grilled Halloumi and the always-fresh filet of the day. Swaggy date spot near Midtown.
Untapped CitiesJuly 18, 2018Amali has an artisanal cheese and salumi selection to try alongside signature wines (there’s about 400 options to choose from)! Read more
nathan archambaultMarch 8, 2015Take the best foods and ingredients from every different type of Mediterranean cuisine, mash it up and spit it out and you end up with the menu at Amali. A real original.
Christine PApril 26, 2013Classy, comfortable restaurant in a great area. Fantastic wine they'll pair beautifully with your order. Friendly staff, great experience, and they accept the IndulgeNY card now!
Sara DavisApril 17, 2014Brussels sprouts, amazing sommelier and great owners make this a destination spot! Don't miss out on the back room with the skylight.
Awesome orecchiette. It sounds a bit spicy, but it's got the right amount of kick. Try the brussels sprouts too, and don't forget to pay with Cover!
Dishes are a seamless blend of Italian and Mediterranean flavors and ingredients. Order a few dishes for the table, and don't skip a pasta or entrée either.
Christin GabrielMarch 22, 2016Great octopus, excellent burrata. Try some of the Greek mainland wines.- Ali WeinsteinDecember 21, 2011Try the burrata for an appetizer - it is amazing. Our server, Amy gave great recommendations and was extremely pleasant. The owner, James Mallios did an incredible job and runs a great restaurant!
Ryan CuppernullSeptember 28, 2015One of the best meals I've had! Everything was delicious and very fresh! The desserts were fantastic.
AmateurConciergeFebruary 3, 2016Solid, well made, clean food with a Mediterranean bent. Love the luchini cocktail
Alexandra LeiteFebruary 24, 2013The bar at the entrance looks great. You think you've made a good. Wrong. The food is far from your memories in a Mediterranean city. Get out while you can.
Tim GerholdOctober 14, 2014Don't miss out on the bolognese and save room for the chocolate donuts for dessert. Vegetable sides were amazing!
Leah AlaniDecember 11, 2013Great find! Everything was really delish. Scallops, Caesar, Brussels. We had a great dinner.

Kayleigh HarringtonAugust 10, 2014Ask for the lamb burger - it's a special off the menu but they have it often.
Get the eggplant as a side dish (even if you think you don't like eggplant, as I did). It is DELICIOUS!
Michael VagnettiOctober 23, 2015On the salumi platter, the lonzo ("lomo" in Spanish") was meltingly sweet.
