It has been said that A’mis Italian Restaurant
and Pizzeria has the best pizza
this side of Chicago and many loyal local
customers agree.
In 1981, Ami Damte and his friend,
Shabtai Moria, opened A’mis in Rock Hill.
Ten years ago, they opened A’mis Italian
Restaurant and Pizzeria in O’Fallon, off
Hwy. K in Monticello Plaza.
The co-owners have served delicious,
authentic Italian food in a casual, familyfriendly
environment for nearly 40 years.
But customers gather at A’mis for much
more than just a good meal. It’s the type
of restaurant where everyone who comes
in the door is treated like family – welcome
to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine
while creating memories that last a lifetime.
With the recent addition of private
tables, A’mis is ready for romantic dinners
or any festive occasion. The patio
area in front of the restaurant is a favorite
place for many customers to have a drink
A’mis Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria
and enjoy some great pizza during fair
weather months.
While the menu staples, such as traditional
spaghetti and manicotti are excellent,
the New York-style pizza is the
ultimate reason why many customers
know and love A’mis.
“Our dough is prepared fresh from
scratch every single day with the best
ingredients and then baked in our brick
oven,” Moria explained. “We have a St.
Louis-style crust, a Chicago deep dish and
our hand-tossed New York-style pizza.”
Damte and Moria like to keep the menu
fresh by adding new items. The Margarita,
BBQ and Buffalo-style Pizzas are recent
additions to the restaurant’s menu. And
what goes better with pizza than pizza?
Salad, of course. On that salad, the go-to
favorite is the house Italian dressing,
which has become quite famous in the last
decade. Time and again, the owners have
been asked to bottle and sell it.
“Their pizza and the house salad with
house dressing is the best anywhere!”

Customers can’t beat the weekly lunch
special, which includes a giant slice of
pizza and a salad, served with A’mis’
famous Italian dressing for just $5.95. The
lunch menu is available from 11 a.m.-4
p.m. daily. For local customers, A’mis
offers a delivery service that is made even
easier by a user-friendly online ordering
feature.
Dining in or carrying out, A’mis’ mouth
watering appetizers, such as Garlic
Cheese Bread and Eggplant Parmigiano,
are equally enticing. The popular Spinach
Artichoke Cannelloni – tubular noodles
stuffed with a cheese and artichoke blend
baked to perfection – is a must try.
The menu also offers Steak and Baked
Potatoes, Lemon Cod or Chicken Spedini.
On the lighter side are a selection of sandwiches,
including A’mis’ popular Roast
Beef Sandwich.
No matter what you choose, A’mis
promises to bring a little bit of Italy to you
with a smile.
“We stand behind our food,” Moria said.
“It is all baked fresh and made to order. If
there is ever an issue, we will resolve it
quickly. Customer satisfaction is always
our No. 1 priority.”
