Located at the Bella Vista Country Club, Cafe Amici serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily and brunch on Sunday. The menu changes two to three times a year and features Italian, Mediterranean and American fare.
The signature burger won top honors in a recent burger poll. The ½-lb. burger is made with 100 percent Angus beef that is hand-pattied daily, in-house. The burger is topped with cheese and served with a choice of salad, soup or fries. Leaf lettuce, pickles and slices of tomato and onion finish the platter.
The catfish is soaked and breaded in-house. Catfish nuggets are offered as an appetizer, and the catfish platter is served with house-made onion rings, hush puppies, fries, coleslaw and AJ's sauce dipping.
"People drive from the other side of Beaver Lake to here just for the catfish," chef and owner Nik Paunov said.
Weekly specials include prime rib dinner on Friday and Saturday nights, $1 tacos and $2 margaritas on Tuesdays, 75-cent wings on Wednesdays and happy hour from 5:30-6:30 p.m. daily.
Cafe Amici is open 7 days a week from 9 a.m.-8 p.m. The restaurant, bar and event center are open to the public, and walk-ins are welcome. Guests planning to dine are encouraged to make reservations by calling (479) 270-5040, especially on the weekends.
