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.

There are very few restaurants that can produce food to tickle your tastebuds. Every bite was a superb sensory experience. The two of us ate 5 appetizers and shared a dessert. Our dishes were appropriately paced and arrived in the order that made sense for our palate. We really appreciated the right level of "noise" even though the restaurant was full. This gave us a chance to really talk without worrying that it's too quiet and our neighboring tables will hear us; or too loud so we have to strain beyond our usual conversation voice.

I love Forage! It's quiet and peaceful. The wait staff is on top of the whole process and very friendly. The food is excellent and creative. Their cocktails are balanced and delicious. My partner and daughter ordered the tasting menu with wine pairings chosen by the chef. Highly satisfactory!

I liked the location of the restaurant, just off the main rd, away from the hustle and bustle of Hanover St. The staff was welcoming and service was great throughout dinner. The food was excellent. No complaints on presentation, portion sizes or taste. It was all good. We had osso bucco, beef tenderloin and the rabbit pasta.
