" I’ve been to Amelia’s several times and can safely say it’s a neighborhood gem! The service is consistently friendly, and the layout gives it a quaint vibe. I’ve had many items from their menu and the Bolognese is my personal favorite—it’s rich without being overwhelming. Even during busier nights, I feel like they manage their seating well. Truly a place I’d be happy to visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a dinner date here and it was lovely! The atmosphere was intimate and cozy, which is perfect for a romantic outing. I ordered the lobster ravioli, and it tasted as good as it sounded. My partner opted for the steak frites, which was also delicious. We're definitely coming back for a repeat. The only downside was that it got quite noisy when the restaurant filled up. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent experience at Amelia's was good, but it had its ups and downs. The authenticity of the dishes really stood out; I tried their signature Carbonara which had fantastic depth of flavor. Though, I found the service to be below par because our server seemed overwhelmed and was slow to accommodate us. However, the lovely decor and overall feel of the restaurant helped balance the experience. I'd say it's worth a try for anyone who enjoys traditional Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amelia’s has a lively atmosphere! My friends and I went for dinner on a Friday, and while the food was good, it wasn’t anything mind-blowing. I ordered the spaghetti vongole, but it wasn’t very flavorful. The ambiance and restaurant vibe made up for it though! The service was on point, attentive, and our waiter was very helpful. " (*Curated Review*)

" Been coming to Amelia's for years and it never disappoints! The food is authentic Italian—just like in Italy! I always get the Chitarra, and it's one of the best I've had in town. The waitstaff is a mix of friendly and efficient, and the ambiance adds to a classic Italian dining experience. Considering the price point, I think it's reasonable too. A must-try for any Italian food lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Amelia's last weekend and had a great time! The service was friendly, and the decor felt authentically Italian. The shrimp ravioli special was delicious—just the right amount of cheese! The ambiance, however, was overly energetic, which might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you're after romantic dining. My only complaint would be the wait; we had to wait about 20 minutes despite having a reservation. But all in all, a solid choice for Italian! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just fabulous! I cannot praise this place enough. Amelia's Trattoria captures the essence of Italian dining perfectly! The pasta was freshly made, and the atmosphere reminded me of small family-run eateries in Italy. Our server was attentive, and the entire experience was enjoyable from start to finish! " (*Curated Review*)
