The old “Hugo’s Inn”, recently renovated and under new ownership, now goes by the name of “Amici Miei”. While it is nicely decorated with an italian flare, the food was disappointing at best and left much to be desired both in portion sizes and taste. They call it authentic italian cuisine. I wondered if that was code for making everything as cheaply and meager in size as possible. To start the salads served with the meals consisted of nothing but iceburg lettuce and two cherry tomatoes. No choice of dressings other than balsamic & oil (which incidentally, goes terribly with iceburg lettuce). The crusty bread was good but so hard you could have broken a tooth and it was served only with olive oil, no butter to be seen. All four of our entree’s left much to be desired. The penne pasta in cream sauce with mushrooms and ham had no flavor. The ham pieces were few and far between and so fatty my elderly aunt had to “dispose” of them in her napkin as gracefully as possible. The rosemary chicken & red potatoes consisted of a half chicken on the bone with a small pool of blood on the platter, fatty undercooked skin and a few sprigs of rosemary on the top. Oh and I can’t forget the four tiny potatoe wedges (probably the equivalent of a half a spud). When we complained about the undercooked chicken on the bone, she said she would see what she could do and never once mentioned it again and no credits were on the bill. The 8 oz filet I asked to be cooked medium, was well done and chewy. Even the mouse sized portion of mini asparagus on the plate was stringy. The only good thing about the meal was the minestrone soup with lobster. It was very tasty but more of a bisque really as it was thick with no actual vegetables, beans, pasta or any of the other things that would qualify it as minestrone. The total bill came to $90. No coffee, no deserts, two appetizers and four entrees. Save your money and go to Giordano’s for a better italian meal. You will spend the same or less and be satisfied when you leave.
