Took hours to get our food. They were understaffed and didn't have answers. Food was just OK. Not worth it.

Average experience but overall disappointing. Reservations were for 7:30 & did not get our dinner served for almost 2 hours. Appetizer of Crostini was great but after the appetizer, it was almost an hour before salads arrived. The homemade Caesar salad dressing/salad was an extra $4 but was flavorless and watery. The main meal of Bolognese and Chicken Piccata was average but not necessarily worth a 2 hour wait. The restaurant was steady with reservations but didn't seem understaffed. The waiter was apologetic, took off our salads and a glass of wine. Hopefully it was just a very off night.

Not their fault, but we sat outside, which was lovely, but there were two “kids” skateboarding on the sidewalk right next to our table. They were very loud. This is an issue for the Gainesville PD. Something for Amelia’s to bring up with them.

Overall this place had potential. The service was great and our appetizers of calamari and bruschetta were really great. The salads were also very delicious. However then things went south, the entrees were all way too salty every one at our tables dishes were too salty to even eat. My 14 year old son who eats anything and everything couldn’t even finish half his plate of pasta. If they didn’t use as much salt it had the potential to be good. Unfortunately we will not be back!

All the food in this restaurant was extremely salty. The sauce, the calamari, even the ingredients inside my lasagna. It's like they poured a whole bottle of salt into each plate. I don't understand how more people don't complain about this. I enjoy spicy flavorful food but this was just too much salt. If you have high blood pressure or even borderline high blood pressure avoid this restaurant because the salt go make your blood pressure shoot. I'm still dealing with a headache I had from eating 3 hours ago

Our server was very good Our appetizer and salad were good. But our main dishes were very salty. They give you enough for leftovers but we did not take them. It used to be one of our favorite restaurants but our last few visits have been not up to par

Another wonderful meal at Amelia’s. Started the Ceasar salad and then on to entrees. My wife had the chicken Marsala and I enjoyed the grouper mugnaia. Finished the evening w the cheesecake. A very enjoyable dining experience. Our server, Rhianna was just a delight.
