Best Fun Restaurants in Amherst

Mikes Italian Kitchen is an outstanding experience in Italian cuisine!… I compare it to some of the finest restaurants in the North End of Boston!… I’ve been there twice now and have truly enjoyed both visits!… I wish they’d open a branch in my town in Florida!

Stella Blu was very nice. We were a party of 5 people who hadn't been together in a while, so we were the noise! We had a great table in the back and our server was wonderfully attentive. The food was great and we loved being able to order as we went. The cocktails were also very well done.

Went tonight for our anniversary and was only disappointed by my inability to find room to eat more of everything. To start with, the bussers and runners were very prompt, professional and good mannered. Our waitress, Erica N, was great and very attentive despite having a heavier than usual load due to last minute staff shortage. She was funny, friendly and efficient at all times. For the food, we started with warm bread and dipping oil, both of which were perfect. We had the sweet potato bisque which was served with bacon bits and maple syrup. The portion was large but we somehow couldn’t stop eating it! We then shared a Caesar salad which was served with shaved Parmesan and could have been shared at least a 3rd time, but again we almost finished that. My wife chose the petite filet which was served with a red wine Demi glaze reduction. I chose the beef stroganoff with a side of Parmesan encrusted creamed spinach. Another large portion of a very savory beef stroganoff topped with a dollop of sour cream. This was even better than I had hoped with large chunks of tender beef, long wide noodles and lots of gravy. The spinach was served in a small crock that was piping hot with browned grated Parmesan covering the top. Also a delicious addition. We finished by sharing a piece of the Flourless chocolate cake. Well worth the extra calories! We brought home a lot to be enjoyed again!

This may have been the best Italian dinner I have had in a very long time.

all of the staff were friendly and courteous. The food was great: I had shrimp cocktail and the lobster cobb salad, my husband had the bolognease along with roasted carrots. My martini was great too. I love the humerous paintings, one I call Abe Lickin’ since he is holding an ice cream cone! We will be back.
