Amelia's Italian Restaurant

We made a reservation for our son’s graduation; they charged us $165 to hold a table for 11 people. Imagine our surprise when we got there after graduation, and the restaurant was CLOSED. No notice, no return of the deposit funds, nothing at all. The worst!

We made a reservation for our sons graduation, they charged us $165 to hold a table for 11 people. Imagine our surprise when we got there after graduation, and the restaurant was CLOSED. No notice, no return of the deposit funds, nothing at all. Ruined the day and we had to scramble around to try and find a place to eat for that many people, it was a disaster. Shameful that they are willing to take peoples money for a reservation, and then not even tell them they are closing or return the funds. The worst!

They were closed, and have reportedly been so for over a month. We had a large group and were celebrating my son's graduation, having made reservations in September. We had left a deposit of $15 per person, which I'm guessing we won't get back. Up until the day before we kept getting reminders of our reservations from OpenTable. They need to keep up! Thanks for putting a damper on our celebration!

This restaurant does not exist anymore. We called many times, but no answer. Left messages on their answerring service, but no reply. We went to the location, and found it closed. Locked with a chain lock on the gate. The website suddenly says "Temporarily Closed" Is this a scam, or is it just bad property management by OpenTable?

The restaurant was closed and locked. We had to eat elsewhere because they weren't open!

They are closed, they’re still taking deposits and reservations. Don’t get scammed avoid avoid avoid do not go there if you’re smart

They were closed. Yet you still allowed us to book a reservation, show up, pay $18 for parking to walk up to a closed restaurant. Real classy. Thanks a ton!!

Imagine our disappointment and anger when we showed up for our reservation only to find this restaurant is closed and appears to be out of business and shuttered!!! We received confirmation texts the day before and the day of our reservation. Open Table needs to do a better job of verifying a restaurant is still open. Ended up having a cold hot dog at the basketball game. We drove 2 hours for this event and were flabbergasted the place didn't exist.

We have been before and last night was not the best experience We were seated a good 20 min before someone came over They did apologize and we ordered wine and an appetizer which was good the dinner was not great had no flavor it was very bland They were very busy since it was a game weekend but expected much better

Took hours to get our food. They were understaffed and didn't have answers. Food was just OK. Not worth it.

Average experience but overall disappointing. Reservations were for 7:30 & did not get our dinner served for almost 2 hours. Appetizer of Crostini was great but after the appetizer, it was almost an hour before salads arrived. The homemade Caesar salad dressing/salad was an extra $4 but was flavorless and watery. The main meal of Bolognese and Chicken Piccata was average but not necessarily worth a 2 hour wait. The restaurant was steady with reservations but didn't seem understaffed. The waiter was apologetic, took off our salads and a glass of wine. Hopefully it was just a very off night.

One of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. We waited a half an hour for out drink. We talked about just leaving but decided to stay. What a bad decision. From the good reviews we thought it would be a good restaurant. Nope when the food arrived after 2 hours we ate it because we were starving, food was mediocre at best. I have had better food at the Olive Garden! However, my husband's lasagna was so over salted he couldn't eat it.

Not their fault, but we sat outside, which was lovely, but there were two “kids” skateboarding on the sidewalk right next to our table. They were very loud. This is an issue for the Gainesville PD. Something for Amelia's to bring up with them.

Took foooorrreeevvvver to get our food! It was a 3 hour tour for sure.

The bread was good, the fried calamari was good the salads were good. But our main dishes were full of salt They give enough food for leftovers but we left them there
It used to be one of my favorite places but the last few times has not been good. I hope they read some of the reviews and change the salt content. They used to also have delicious tortellini soup which they stopped offering.
Our waiter was very good and the atmosphere was relaxing
