About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Great for outdoor dining

Delio Susi, in anticipation of his restaurant’s tenth anniversary, refined both his restaurant’s menu as well as its interior design, to great success. Losing none of his Abruzzi roots, the food is clean but clearly Italian, and a little rustic. The warm and inviting room makes the same statement. Drawing on his architectural background, Susi plays with simple organic materials, like square slate tiles and tabletops, and brown leather tufted banquettes. The use of brick plus copper fixtures contribute to the Italian country/casual feel that serves food and wine to match. Wooden floors and European style open windows for the summer add to this ambiance. And red lamps that hang in bright contrast with the earthy tones during the day, shed a sexy flattering nighttime glow. Amelia’s Trattoria offers a personal and authentic dining experience using top local ingredients infused with the heart of its Italian chef.

Customer service could have been better but they seemed overwhelmed. Not once did anyone come by to refill our water. I wanted to order dessert but changed my mind based on the service we received. I think better service could have changed my experience bc I really wanted to like this place.

I've never once had a bad meal at Amelia's, my one minor concern is that at times the noise level can be very loud.

Food was terrific. Portions larger than expected. We enjoyed the beet salad and mussels appetizers. Entries (spaghetti with clams and the veal saltimboca) were excellent. Staff know the menu and were quite attentive. The pear tart dessert was delightful. Will definitely repeat the visit soon. A very cozy informal atmosphere.

Food was incredible. Drinks were very good too. The place is cute, but very small and a little crammed. It makes it feel more cozy. Nice lighting as well.

Absolutely delicious legitimately Mediterranean food( I am Italian) with great service. The very best arancini I have ever tasted hands down. The homemade pasta was fabulous in four different dishes and we all shared tastes of each other’s. The lamb ragu tasted of grilled meat and full of flavor. Thespinach paparadelli -perfect. Chittara was excellent and mushroom paparedelli - the best ! Wine selections were excellent and we just loved the place. Charm and service. We were never rushed. We will be back. Highly recommended. Reasonable prices also. Enjoy !
