About Amelia's Trattoria

Amelia's Trattoria is a cozy neighborhood gem with excellent food and welcoming staff. The menu offers a variety of delicious options, including a fantastic spinach ravioli with grilled jumbo shrimp and mushrooms, along with classic pasta dishes like Bolognese sauce with fusilli and wild mushroom pappardelle. The beet salad appetizer is a standout dish that shouldn't be missed. The arancini appetizer is a house specialty, arriving steaming hot with the right amount of marinara. The grilled octopus was flavorful, served on a bed of sautéed vegetables with a spicy aioli. The bolognese is incredible, creamy and delicious, with perfectly al dente pasta. However, the veal saltimbocca was a bit underseasoned. The grilled salmon entree was cooked perfectly and served over delicious, crisp assorted grilled vegetables. The atmosphere can get busy, especially during the lunch hour, but outdoor seating provides a quieter, more spacious vibe. Wonderful drinks, including a special seasonal Spritz with Curacao, lemon, and thyme, complement the delicious food. Overall, a great place for a tasty meal, with interesting cocktails and great-tasting Italian wines worth trying on the next visit. Going here supports a small local business, the best kind of business.
