Food took an hour to come out when we were 1/6 table waiting to be served. Food was good but nothing to comeback for.

We really enjoyed our dining experience here. Melissa was out server and she was phenomenal. All her dish recommendations were spot on. Food was delicious and portions were generous. We'll definitely return!

Our server was nice, but this establishment has a serious lack of identity. The food was salty but somehow lacked any real flavor. Will not return.

Wow! A magnificent time at Amelia's! Our server David was very charming and helpful. He recommended an off menu special in the blackened salmon that was very good! The ambiance was very quaint, though the music in the dining room was a bit drab. We will certainly come back the next time we are in town visiting our daughter!Parking: Give yourself time to find a spot!

Not upset at all but felt this review could help the owner's. I have been to many Italian restaurants around the country in various major metro areas and I can't say I was impressed with Amelia's evening wait staff. I'm all about supporting small biz. But they seemed pretty judgy especially if your 1 party. After asking for an inside table I was offered to sit outside despite a fairly empty restuarant with many open tables inside. I asked again but was politley told no. I felt discriminated. Athestetics of the restaurant were average. Due to the poor experience I declined to seat as I will not pay an establishment to have me sit outside against my choice. This experience made me lose confidence that the rest of my dinning experience would be good. I was able to find a more established restaurant who seated me without question. I was sure to tip them double price of the meal. Please make efforts to be more inviting to all of your customer base. Thank you.

It’s a classic Italian restaurant with plenty of the standards you want plus some variety of interesting alternatives. Service was attentive, and indoor and outdoor seating are all charming.

I got the fettuccini Alfredo and my boyfriend got the lobster ravioli which we both enjoyed our meals. The lobster ravioli was a small portion size which is why I’m giving 4 stars. The Alfredo was much bigger and it was super creamy.Our waiter was very nice and attentive, and our food came out quickly.The restaurant is very nice inside and decorative, also very clean.It is definitely a nice establishment and I would return but be prepared it is really pricey

Salad was not as fresh as it should have been, lettuce seemed wilted. Surprised they did not have angel hair pasta. The web site indicated that entrees came with penne pasta, but that is no longer the case.

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences. Four of us had a reservation at 7:30pm on a Friday night after V-day. The restaurant was 1/2 or more than 1/2 empty, the menu we were offered was Wednesday night's limited V-day menu (which we didn't know until we arrived). A few of us have dietary restrictions including celiac so not only did it take the server too long to tell us he thinks the kitchen can accommodate but it took close to an hour to get our salads, and over an hour and a half to get the food that not only looked inedible but was not what we ordered or were able to eat. It was our fault for staying so long but we were catching up after years of not seeing each other. When we inquired with our server who wasn't attentive, he mentioned our food was being plated, 30 minutes or so prior to the (wrong) food being delivered to our table. Several tables turned over in the time we were there. Even when we left, starving, the restaurant did not seem overly busy or apologetic. I would never recommend this restaurant unless the management and staff are fully trained on how to provide suitable hospitality and accommodate dietary restrictions that are pervasive nowadays. And if you cannot accommodate, be honest and upfront. The better experience would've been to know once we sat down rather than 1.5 + hrs later!
Amelia's has been my favorite dining spot for years but recent changes in routine and presentation have saddened me. Now the Entre with sauce is plated on a bed of pasta rather than a small side bowl of pasta with tomato sauce or olive oil. As a result, everything tastes of the sauce whether piccata or Marsala or cream etc. A rather large amount of pasta in piccata is rather overwhelming and creates a one flavor meal. So hopeful they will return to previous standards of a fine restaurant.

The food is marvelous but definitely over priced. The service was decent. One of the entrees was incorrect, and the food took a while to come out. The staff was friendly and it was a quiet and intimate experience.

We waited a crazy long time for our food. We got there at 7:30 and we got our food at 9 pm. When we did get our food, nobody got the right order. We have dietary restrictions and the waiter completely disregarded our orders and brought us all the wrong dishes, with the allergens we specifically asked to avoid. It was one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a restaurant.

Our server made us feel uncomfortable. She was checking in but didn't bother to stop walking to check in, just kept walking past us and didn't let us know when out food was coming when we waited over 1.5 hours. The environment was calm and the bread and appetizers came at a decent time, however our entrees were not worth the wait and cost.
the best part of our meal was the free bread and dessert, our entrees were boring and incredibly over seasoned making it almost uneatable. the service was ok but our waiter seemed to be ignoring us. would not really recommend for anyone celebrating anything special, i was truly disappointed (especially for the high prices)
