• Italian • Cambridge

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.

It’s it’s really hard to find an authentic restaurant irrespective of the cuisine and culture. This restaurant knocked it out of the park. I’ve dined all over the world and I can honestly say this is one of the best meals that I’ve had in the last 10 years. In addition to that, I didn’t have to remortgage the house to enjoy the food. This is my must stop place when I go to Boston from now on.
