Trattoria Amici At The Americana At Brand - Glendale
M M I visited Trattoria Amici at The Americana at Brand for a weekday lunch, and it was such a pleasant experience. Since the weather was beautiful, we chose to sit on the terrace, which turned out to be the perfect decision. The outdoor seating offers a wonderful view of the lively Americana promenade, creating a relaxed and stylish atmosphere where you can truly unwind. The space feels versatile, making it equally suitable for a family outing, a casual yet elegant date, a group gathering with friends, or even a business lunch.
The menu features classic Italian cuisine prepared with a California twist, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. I was impressed to learn that the pasta is handmade daily, which I will definitely try on my next visit, but this time I was in the mood for pizza. We also ordered the calamari and the grilled salmon, both of which were delicious crispy and light calamari and perfectly cooked salmon with a flavorful balance. Their beverage menu is another highlight, offering a wide selection of wines and creative cocktails. Even the non-alcoholic berry based drink I tried was refreshing, vibrant, and full of natural flavor. Overall, this place combines quality food, attentive service, and a beautiful setting, making it a spot I look forward to returning to.
