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.

    Wonderful experience at Krasi. Only wish we could have tried everything on the menu as we sat at the bar and watched all being made. The Charoupi bread, Marouli grilled lettuce, Xtapodi octopus souvlaki, and Souvla chicken rotisserie special were outstanding. The staff was very attentive. We will be back.

    This was our first visit to CBC on a Tuesday evening. Good convenient location and we were able to get a reservation on short notice. We were seated quickly. Our server was overloaded, but she did a great job. Food was excellent. Not sure if Tuesdays are normally this busy, management could provide another server or two. If we return to Cambridge in the future, we would definitely return to CBC.

    Went here for my birthday dinner and everything was perfect! Our server was super nice and gave us a great wine recommendation. We ordered oysters, lobster risotto, and the scallops and they were all incredible! They also have fabulous cocktails. I appreciated their gender neutral bathrooms along with the general ambiance and decor style of the place. We will absolutely be returning!
