One of the best-known spots in St. Augustine dining is up for grabs.
The half-acre property that houses Amici, an old school, decades-old Italian restaurant on A1A South, has hit the market for $3,499,999, according to a listing posted this week.
The longtime institution remains fully open and operational, serving up the Italian classics and cocktails that have made it an Old City staple.
The description highlights a combination rarely available in the area: a full-service restaurant, multiple kitchens, ample parking, and a large banquet facility all on one site.
That versatility– along with abundant nearby traffic — makes it “ideal for a variety of dining concepts,” the listing states.

All told, the property spans 8,700 square feet.
The main dining room seats more than 150 guests, while a separately metered 4,000-square-foot banquet hall can accommodate up to 340 people standing. Each side includes a full liquor bar.
Also part of the offering are a pizza kitchen, catering kitchen and 1,000-square-foot outdoor patio.
A special food service liquor license, along with all existing furniture, fixtures and equipment — including a pizza oven — are included in the sale.
For fans of the Italian eatery — which has seen its share of upheaval in recent years — a potential sale represents more than just a real estate transaction as Amici has been part of the community’s culinary identity for many years.
