D’Amico’s Restaurant is located on 33 Canterbury Street in St John. I stayed in the Chipman Hill Suites and from there it was only a 10-minute walk away. I found this restaurant very charming, as the moment you walk in the door you get the authentic Italian feel. You have a wood-burning oven on the main floor where their gourmet pizzas are made right before your eyes. My first time here I enjoyed a wonderful lunch. I ordered the Tortellini Di Formaggi, which consisted of cheese stuffed tortellini tossed with spicy rose sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese. My mouth is watering right now with the thought of eating it!!! This dish was also served with either garlic bread, ceaser salad or tossed salad. The best thing about eating out at lunchtime is that the prices are extremely reasonable. For such a great meal, it only cost $10.00. This menu is served from 11.30am – 4.00pm Monday – Saturday.
I was so impressed with this restaurant; I wanted to return back there for a second time. So one night the girls and I decided that we would make a reservation for an evening meal. I found the full menu had far more of a variety, however there was a huge difference in the price. For the same dish I had on the lunch menu the price was $17.00. However, I found the food so good, I would have paid the $17.00 first time round and still thought I was getting good value for money!! The second time round my friends and I enjoyed once again an excellent meal of Fettuccine Alfredo, Asiago Pizza, D’Amico Trio and Linguine Di Mare.
Fettuccine Alfedo - consisted of a choice of black forest ham, seafood or chicken in a rich alfredo sauce (Black forest ham $13.95, Seafood $21.95, Chicken $16.95),
Asigo Pizza - Caramelized honey mustard cream sauce, chicken, spinach, onion and asiago cheese $15.95
D’Amico Trio – a combination of chicken parmigiana, lasagna and creamy fettuccine alfredo $20.95
Linguine Di Mare – scallops, shrimp, mussels and white wine with green onions and roma tomatoes with white wine in an aglio e olio sauce $21.95
