Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Great for outdoor dining

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.

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

I came here about a year ago with my now girlfriend for a first date. I wanted to recreate that first date for Valentine’s Day and Amelia’s Trattoria was just as perfect as that day! Food was delicious, staff were fast and attentive, and answered all of our questions. Thank you for everything!

The food here is outstanding and service could not be better. Unfortunately, this popular restaurant chooses to pack far too many people into too small a space. They and their customers deserve larger quarters with more breathing room, not to mention an entry vestibule to keep winter winds out. My wife and I were seated inches from couples on either side of us. We could clearly hear and had to compete with every single word of their date night conversations. Exhausted from shouting to be heard over our neighbors, we skipped the tempting desserts and any plans to return until warmer weather makes outdoor seating possible.

Food was AMAZING! Not only that - the owners of the restaurants are beyond kind and generous. Staff were so attentive and the environment was beautiful. I am from TX and this is my first time ever in MA and I couldn't have gone to a better restaurant for my first night in town. If you're looking for beautiful and tasty Italian food, they have an amazing chicken Parmesan, delicious appetizers, and a perfect ambiance. 10/10 recommend - swing by for dinner with friends, date night, or even just some cocktails! Love this spot and if I'm ever back in Cambridge, I will absolutely be back! If you ever come by - Request Javier!!! Amazing server!
