Amelia's Trattoria: Reviews & Ratings
Cosy restaurant with friendly and fast service, I felt it was very authentic Italian, almost feels homemade. The Chitarra pasta was excellent, usually I am unable to finish an America sized meal but I polished my plate clean this time. I would return.
What a beautiful little Italian style restaurant this place was. Great service and very friendly. The chef made every dish with lots of love and sooooo delicious. It was for New years eve day and they made us feel special. We loved everything. If you want to enjoy some good real Italian food, this is the place to be. We live in Austin, but on the next trip up north, we definitely going back in this little Italy place.
We went to Amelia’s Trattoria last night, and the food was delicious! We started with the octopus, and I had the vongole linguine, and my partner got the special (lobster ravioli). The dishes were well prepared, and they were generous portions! I will come back in the future!
My third visit to Amelia’s Traattoria. As before, a wonderful meal and wonderful experience. The restaurant was very lively and packed. Our server was great! The mussels were delicious. I enjoyed the daily special raviolis with ricotta, mushroom and spinach, paired with jumbo shrimp. Delicious! The Mediterranean salad was fantastic. We finished with the Tiramisu. Yum. And the Montepulciano by the glass was excellent. Already looking forward to next visit!
We love Amelia’s! The tomato sauce that the PEI mussels come in is the best we’ve ever tasted. Amazing pasta dishes (we had the bolognese and pappardelle) with great flavor and you can tell that the pasta is fresh. We also really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
We went to Trattoria Amelia last night and were lucky to get a table. We chose a nice Montepulciano to start and has some mussels too. We took our time and were not rushed. My husband had the special ravioli with ricotta, mushrooms, spinach. They were delicious. I had a Mediterranean salad with extra anchovies. Lots of great flavors. We also shared a tiramisu and enjoyed that!! Can’t wait to go back.
Love the food. Whenever I visit a Spanish or Italian place, if I see an octopus dish on the menu, I will always order it. The octopus was tender and delicious, and you can cut it with the butter knife. Amazing. Mushroom polenta was creamy and delicious. Mushroom was very mushroomy. Only downside was the whole dish was bland, which was odd. Even with the Parmesan shavings, there was not enough salt, and taste like it was not seasoned at all.
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!
