My longtime favorite restaurant in New Hope is open in a new location at Union Square (FINALLY!!!). The bolognese is the best I've ever had - carbonara, short ribs, fish (seafood fra diavalo, incredible salads, fantastic tiramisu and pistachio ricotta torte. Off the charts. Excellent. read more

Another 5 star experience. I have to wonder where all these 3 star reviews came from. Service, food, ambience decor is all great. Erica the hostess does a wonderful job and was able to fit us in as a party of 3 last minute, when someone cancelled. The restaurant was packed! It's cozy, great for any occasion. You can count on some regular dishes and the chef dishes up some great specials. You feel very welcome when you enter, everyone working there is attentive, not rushed or overbearing. We had the garlic bread which is always on the menu and some of the best I've had. We also had the mushroom soup special, the short ribs with rigatoni that were AMAZING! The salmon with mixed veg and sweet potato puree. Also the linguini and shrimp. For desert we shared the pistachio ricotta cheese cake and also the tiramisu. Another "Got to try " desert! The food is fresh, not frozen and the vegetables must be farm to table. It's BYOB. Which is amazing! Great experience, everything was just right, highly recommend them. read more

The pasta with lobster was fantastic. My wife had the fra diavlo which was very good and came with lots of seafood. The seating was a little tight but other than that a fantastic place. Finally it's bring your own, which is great. read more

Tonight was the first dining experience here. The ambiance is lovely and the service was very nice. The appetizers were tasty but not special. However, the 2 pasta dishes that we had were just terrible. In both dishes the pasta was terribly overcooked and people at the table commented on how mushy the pasta was. in 1 dish the pasta was almost floating in the pesto sauce. Just a bad dining experience. Skip this place. Tom F read more

First time dining here. Was a delicious meal with flavorful offerings and excellent attentive service. Nice environment and a BYOB makes it even better. The house made whole wheat garlic bread is fantastic. Salads were scrumptious and the Veal chop was large and flavorful. The seafood fra diablo was extremely large with lots of fresh seafood and pasta; lots to take home. a must try and off the beaten path in New Hope! read more

Our first dinner out when we were on vacation and in town. This place was so quaint, such a nice place. Now the food omg. I dream about the pasta I had here, and my hubs dreams about his steak. Our boy also loved his food besides having a little cold plus being exhausted from the day :P if in town make this one of your stops! It was just seriously amazing. read more

Although the food is pretty good, and the service is top notch, there's just a few things about this restaurant that bother me a bit. Most importantly, let's talk about this darn garlic bread. I've visited this restaurant with my wife twice this year. As soon as you sit down, your server will ask "can I bring some garlic bread out to get you guys started?" Now, of course the answer is always going to be yes. Who doesn't want garlic bread? However, they don't tell you that the bread is $3 per piece. Yes, per piece. Now, after you've already said yes, you will open the menu and see that garlic bread is listed as an appetizer for $3 per person. Then, a very small loaf gets delivered to your table, its sliced into about 6 very slim pieces, probably the equivalent of a normal two pieces of bread, and its very good because its slathered in garlic and butter. More on this topic later. The first time we came, my wife ordered the special pasta with seafood. Again, although it was pretty good, I was shocked when the bill came and it was $60. I suppose in these times and at byob's thats the norm? But I was very taken back and we did not order from the specials menu the following trip. The following trip, I got the filet mignon, advertised online as $32. When we got to the restaurant, the menu listed the filet mignon as $34. When the bill came, the filet mignon was $38. Did I say anything to the waiter? Nope. No one wants to be that person, the restaurant is always very quiet, so I was too embarrassed to point out the discrepancy. I ordered my filet rare, and it was served medium. Did I send it back? Again, nope. However it was good, and the veggies were flavorful. I will note, the second time we went, we again said yes to garlic bread. My wife had ordered the pasta, which was disappointingly bland. It was a bolognese ragu, which really needed some extra loving with seasoning. She asked for a little more bread to go with the pasta, I figured the menu says $3 per person, so why not get a little more? However, again very dismayed when we received our bill and were charged another $3 for her second piece of bread. $3 per person, means $3 per person. It does not say $3 per piece. So once again, pretty displeased with the bill. The extra money charged for the bread and the filet are enough to make us not go back. Plenty of other places in the area with better food and honest pricing. In this economy, there's no need to find sneaky ways to overcharge your customers. read more

Amelia - Italian Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

I recently visited Amelia with my sisters, and unfortunately, it turned out to be a deeply disappointing experience. We ordered three different dishes, including a pasta Bolognese, which I found bland and flavorless and the pasta was overcooked. My sisters, who also tasted my dish, agreed with my assessment. While I complimented the chef on the other two dishes, I mentioned the blandness of the Bolognese to our waiter. Surprisingly, he didn't apologize but said he would taste it along with the chef. A few moments later, he returned and told me that the dish was prepared to the chef's liking. I found this response irrelevant and unhelpful since I was the one eating and paying for the dish. He offered to replace it with something else, so I ordered the same dish my sister had. About ten minutes later, the chef emerged from the kitchen and gave us a nasty glare, again without any apology. Shockingly, he gestured something towards our table that I will not mention but now he knows that I saw it. At that moment, I regretted not leaving immediately. I have never encountered such disrespectful and unprofessional behavior from a chef in response to a patron's feedback. It's part of the restaurant business to sometimes receive criticism, and it should be handled graciously. Because of the chef's behavior, I couldn't trust the replacement dish and threw the scampi in the garbage, fearing it might have been tampered with and I will dispute the charges with American Express. This experience has left a sour taste in my mouth, and I will never recommend Amelia, nor will I ever return. Despite his behavior, we still left the waiter a 20 % tip for his service. To the management: Be mindful of who you are flipping birdies to because negative feedback travels faster than positive. read more

Great overall experience! Very charming setting and interior. Food was excellent as was the service! And bonus - BYOB!

We discovered this little gem just driving by. We were looking for a nice place to grab dinner and we found it. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. It is in a very old house with exposed ceiling beams and a lot of old wood. Very inviting atmosphere. We started with a wonderful artichoke salad and their signature creamy mushroom soup. Wonderful both. For our main courses, my wife had bow tie pasta with a very light cream and mushroom sauce, topped with sliced cherry tomatoes. Though it was a creamy dish, it was remarkably light. I had a seafood pasta with a pink cream sauce. The flavor was likewise incredibly light and soft. The pasta was also soft, fresh and delicious. The dish contained shrimp, scallop and lobster, and they added a fresh and delicate flavor to the cream sauce, not heavy or fishy at all. This BYO restaurant was a great value and we will absolutely come back. read more

Had such a great experience here last week. Had a table for four in the cozy front room. Such a fun warm historic atmosphere. The food was amazing. True Italian flair. High quality food ingredients. The service was fun as they have two or three servers that share all the tables so you are well taken care of! BYOB. Check them out! read more

Relaxed atmosphere, good service, and terrific food. The star of the evening- the Garlic Bread.

I met 2 girlfriends at Amelia a month ago and although EVERYTHING we had was delicious, I've literally been dreaming about the mushroom soup ever since!! Luckily for me, it was on the menu last night when My husband & I went for dinner. We are so excited to have discovered a local spot that tastes like we are in Italy again. Happy dance!!!

Dining at Amelia's s a wonderfully nourishing experience and I highly recommend it. The service is exceptional. Yes, it did take a while to get our order in as we came in during a rush, but all of that was irrelevant when compared to the wonderful welcome we received and the obsessive care we experienced throughout our meal. We felt like we were honored and cherished guests who were regulars despite it being our first time there. food was amazing, by far some of the best food we had in New Hope. The decor of the restaurant was lovely, fun and irreverent which went well with the welcoming vibe that the waitstaff exuded. I came into the restaurant stressed out (personal stuff) and left feeling elated. It was a wonderful experience all around and I am looking forward to coming back. read more

We took a picture of this restaurant so we can remember it as we won't be back. In summary, we thought it was overpriced for what they deliver and the quality was just average. We were a group of 10. We were seated in a semi-private dining area just outside of the restroom, so we had the perfect view as other diners went in and out. The best of the meal was the wild mushroom soup. The rest of the meals were just okay. One of the meals - a pasta with pesto sauce - was not edible. The presentation of all of the meals left a lot to be desired - the plates looked like the food was slopped on. Take a look around - there are several restaurants in the New Hope area that will do a much better job than this one. read more

Just went here for the second time and once again, the food was AMAZING. Delicious authentic Italian food, debatably the best in the area. Everything was delicious from the garlic bread (a must) to the chicken. My boyfriend and I started with the garlic bread and the special salad, split their pesto pasta as our second course (seriously the best pesto I've ever had), and finished with the polo Genovese and the braised short rib. Everything was perfect. The restaurant itself is adorable. Very small and intimate, well-decorated with romantic lighting. Service is good but definitely on the slower side, which I personally enjoyed. We were able to really pace ourselves and enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. This is the perfect spot for an intimate date or get together with friends. A must try! read more

Mother of God, what an unmitigated disaster! Can I give zero stars? Arrived early for 745 resies. At around 10pm we gave up and left. During that 2+ hour period we got some bread after 1 hour. Ok things happen. Can you send someone over to apologize and give an update? NO! We were utterly ignored. So this is how you treat local New Hope customers? Around the 2 hour mark when we ask what's up, can we talk to the owner/chef? The answer from a very unapologetic waitress is "no"...he's in the kitchen "behind the line". Save the kitchen-speak, Chef is a coward...this is horrible. Walked over to Logan at 10p and somehow they were able to serve us food! You will be out of business very soon. read more

First time to Amelia had its ups and downs. The atmosphere is charming ... we were seated at a nice table toward the back. Service was 4 stars ... generally attentive with a couple of gaps. We both had the mushroom soup to start ... delicious. For entrees we each ordered a special ... seafood pasta in a blush sauce and pork osso bucco with gnocchi. The entrees were ok ... not as special as hoped. Desserts, tiramisu and cheesecake, were very good. The two features most driving our impression were value and end-of-night clean-up. The specials were billed at $46 each ... very high for what was presented. As we were one of the last tables to finish, we had to endure the staff setting up for the next day all around us as we finished our meal. It felt like we overstayed our welcome, although we did not eat slowly. I suspect the staff just wanted to leave asap. This dropped the review one star. We might go back with more knowledge of how to order and when to be seated. Not sure. read more

Good but wouldn't rush back. Had the filet and it was definitely medium rare, garlic bread was AMAZING, calamari and caprese salad were both good. Veggies for the filet had no taste honestly. It was BYOB as well. Small place but felt homey(: Would not recommend but if got asked to go back I would. Menu is 75% pasta but they had specials read more

Concur with RW. Had a beautiful evening planned for my niece's final dinner before returning to college and we were gravely disappointed. I understand a small venue, limited seating but we had a reservation, showed up on time but alas, waited 30 minutes to be seated only to have to watch other patrons be served ahead of us. We were essentially the sacrificial lamb, No apologies. As we were getting ready to leave, our food arrived. Too little, too late and too bad...Take it from a local, don't waste your time. read more

Everything about Amelia was great. It's very cute when you walk in. We were greeted by Becky, who was also our server. She was extremely nice, helped answer our questions on the menu and offered great recommendations. We started off with fried calamari (excellent, the sauce was a little sweet but really good) and split the burrata/fried artichoke appetizer special. For entrees, I got the seafood special (lobster, shrimp, scallops in in a cream sauce over paparadelle) and my partner got the pesto. We didn't stay for dessert but probably will next time. Overall, great meal and great experience. read more

I was so excited to hear of a new restaurant when I came back to town for a visit. New Hope restaurants are very hit or miss and I hope this one stays! The atmosphere was really cozy and our service was great. I got the fradiavolo- soooo good. Reservation only is new for me, but actually really nice that there's never a wait. Overall, the atmosphere, food and service were a pleasant surprise. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I thought it was lovely. I felt I was in Italy as the atmosphere reminded me of Europe. Good food. Brought my own wine. Pleasant service.

We always try new restaurants and rarely ever complain. We ordered 2 soups and 2 entrees. There were only 6 tables in the restaurant. It took 40 minutes for the soup to arrive. For an entree, my husband ordered a pasta dish. He asked if a chicken breast could be added and the chef agreed. Both our dishes lacked seasoning. When the bill came I was surprised that it was $95 for 2 soups and 2 chicken dishes. They charged an additional $18 for the addition of the chicken to the pasta dish making it more than the most expensive item on the menu! 40! When we asked if it was a mistake the waiter said this is what the chef told him. We asked if he thought that seemed reasonable and although he didn't he did not think that he should have asked us. We were beyond disbelief! We paid our bill, tipped as we always do and vowed never to return. read more

This place has a lot going for it - charming ambiance and friendly service. The food, however, was just ok.

Omg Probably the worst food I've ever eaten Bland taste Seafood taste it old and bad. It tasted frozen even though the server said they buy it fresh every day. I've been in the restaurant business all my life and I know what good food taste like. Don't take advantage of everybody's harder money by serving this food that you're serving read more

I don't understand what all the hype is about this restaurant, total disaster from the moment we walked in, the place is supposed to be romantic and there was nothing but a lot of yelling and screaming and parties going on, as far as the food goes people don't know what really good food is, I had the veal Osso Buco and it was a mouse full ,over gnocchi's that were like lead sinkers, My wife had the seafood over pasta the seafood must've been frozen it was horrendous, not terrible but horrendous, would not recommend this place at all, this is my opinion, and I will never be back there, for $100 meal I certainly could've ate like a king probably across the street read more

Couldn't rave about this place anymore! Our server was amazing, attentive, kind and helpful. He was also tending to 5 tables at a time! The food was amazing- whole wheat garlic bread, calamari and artichoke and burrata app. The entrees- chicken Milanese, chicken basilico, fettuccine with Gorgonzola- all TOP NOTCH. Everything was delicious and fresh! Would definitely return next time we're in the area! read more

i love this place. I went with my bff will be bringing more people here. great food, service and experience.

What a find! My husband and I go to New Hope a couple times a year. We like to try different spots, often off the beaten path. This quaint, welcoming and warm Italian restaurant was the highlight of our trip. The chef/owner's son was our server. His descriptions of the specials and answers to my questions were the caliber you'd expect at any 5 star Manhattan venue. I wish I had taken pix of our meals. Next time. But, here are a couple shots of the dining room. This place is not to be missed! read more

Wow, worst Bolognese ever!! Partner's pasta with mushrooms and cream wasn't any better. The mushrooms were just button mushrooms and you know how tasteless they are. Can't be bothered to try any other pastas,,especially at those prices. read more

This was a bad experience on so many levels. The service was horrible and the food, ugh. I literally got Chicken Milanese that was raw in the middle. (Btw, it wasn't even pounded thin, it was a roll). The fix? Microwaved Chicken! Awesome. I will never return. I don't even want to drive by it. read more

This was ok, but I'm not really going out of my way to return. The garlic bread was very good as was the salad so I had high hopes for the entrees. Totally dissatisfied with the bolognese. The pasta was over cooked and the sauce basically tasteless. I really wanted to love this place because the atmospheres very cozy and welcoming but food was just not what I expected. read more
