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.

We are investigating possibility that credit card was duplicated as it was compromised and charges were made. I hope the owners will look into this.

Seems to be slipping. Maybe understaffed. Food adequate. Service friendly, but harried and riddled with errors.

We had not been to Amelia's since the Pandemic for a host of reasons and hoped we would find it as enjoyable as before, and it was. The staff was welcoming, the service excellent and the menu as interesting as before. Thankfully, they still had their beet salad appetizer which we think is the best beet salad we have ever had. The meal could not have been better. We look forward to our next visit being much sooner.

The grilled octopus was the best thing we ate at this visit. Fried calamari was one of the better one too. Shrimp puttanesca came with 3 or 4 huge shrimps, and the linguine and clam sauce came with a dozen huge clams, that are seasoned perfectly. Unfortunately the pasta is a bit too soft . The hanger steak was very tender and delicious
