About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Lively
Charming

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.

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 !

Charming and very small, which was its only downside - it felt incredibly cramped, the server didn’t come by in as timely a fashion as we would have liked, probably because it was hard to get to our table! But the food was delicious, and the noise level was very reasonable (the benefit of small). Definitely worth a try, I’d recommend middle of week and summer when outdoor seating is available.

Super cute date night restaurant!!! The restaurant itself is very small but super charming and because of this I feel like the service was phenomenal, instead of having a designated waiter, the waitstaff seemed to all work together. We recently moved nearby so wanted to try something new close by for dinner and landed on this place. We met an another couple sitting next to us who also lived nearby and we chatted most of the night. They ended up buying us a round of limoncello shots which was so nice so we decided to return the favor. Turned grabbing dinner into a fun date night!! We will be back!

Had a fabulous dinner before a movie. Arrived early (before they opened) and were seated right away. I was able to order something not on the menu (yummy shrimp Fra Diavlo). Waiter was busy, but we were not ignored. Even fit in a quick dessert. Two thumbs up!

Both pasta dishes were overcooked and the gnocchi had quite a lot of sugar on them. The tiramisu was ok.
