Amici's Italian Grill in Middletown, Connecticut: A Place for Romance

If you are looking for somewhere romantic to dine for dinner, and you are in Middlesex County, look no further than Amici Italian Grill in Middletown, Connecticut. I found it a romantic walk from the municipal parking lot on Washington Street across from the Court House, to Main Street added that much more to the dining experience. The restaurant is most elegant, and they have beautiful light fixtures hanging over the tables. I found the waiters excellent at recommending a glass of wine, as there are wine glasses on the table.

For an appetizer, I had the Fried Calamari. The calamari was lightly battered and fried golden brown with hot cherry peppers. It was served with fresh marinara sauce and caper aioli. I found it utterly delightful. They also serve Salmon and Crab Cakes, Fried Mozzarella, Stuffed Mushrooms and Grilled Scallops as appetizers along with the Risotto of the Day.

If you are not interested in any of the appetizers, you may desire a bowl of soup. On the menu, they have Pasta E Fagioli, New England Clam Chowder, A Oven Baked Onion Soup for all the onion soup fans, and the Zuppa Di Giorno or the soup of the day.

On the menu, you will also find salad. Caesar Salad which you may have with either grilled chicken or with grilled shrimp, and Tomato and Mozzarella Salad, Mixed Spring Greens, a Mediterranean Salad, Antipasto, Roasted Turkey Salad, Warm Goat Cheese Salad, and a Tuscan Grilled Chicken Salad.

All the dinner entrees, except the fried dishes, are served with fresh garden salad and their own fresh baked bread.
