Our Story

It all started in September 1994, when the perfectly named Due Amici (two friends) opened its doors.

After the success of The Coach House at Ruxley, owner John Evans and manager Felice Mutti decided the natural progression was to go into partnership together and open a second Italian restaurant. Finding the perfect location in Royal Parade, Chislehurst in September 1994 the perfectly named Due Amici (two friends) opened its doors to a very welcoming public.

By offering the same high-quality produce for which the partnership had become renowned, with fish from Billingshurst, meat from the very best sources and an extensive and much-acclaimed wine list, Due Amici soon became hugely popular and it wasn't long before the restaurant firmly established a reputation as one of the most sought after in the area.


The dedicated team at Due Amici share Felice’s passion for superior food and service delivered with warmth and enthusiasm and work hard to continue to offer the very best in Italian hospitality.
