Amelia's Italian Cuisine - Gainesville

Take this with a grain, or should I say a pound of salt? The food was terrible. So salty and drowning in sauce. The marinara (on the side pasta) looked liked it came out of a jar/can and the first fish I ordered, I sent back, only to find the second fish dish was just as bad. My son had the alla vodka dish which came with sausage, but the sausage was spicy (not mentioned on the menu) and took away from the sweetness of the alla vodka. As for the service, there was one waitress for the entire restaurant, and no food runner, she did everything and so it was impossible to get drink refills or anything we needed for our dishes. We didn't even have napkins. The atmosphere is fine inside but the outside was lacking in silverware, glassware and looked a bit haphazard. I cannot tell you how disappointed we were considering it was rated so highly for the area. Service: Dine in Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2

We waited over 90 min to get our entire meal as the restaurant had a larger group. It looked like our order got misplaced. When food arrived, it wasn’t great. Chicken Marsala tasted like bbq chicken, very sweet. The chicken Parm dish we got had a very fried taste to it, it wasn’t great. We were told the manager was coming to speak with us, it never happened. Needless to say, we will not be returning. Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

Great food, slow service, and bad customer service. We called to double check where we could park. At no time were we told we couldn’t park in the numbered spots, so our car was towed. We were unceremoniously offered a few glasses a wine on the house, which does nothing to remedy the situation at hand.

1.5 hour wait for salad. Then boxed entrees to go. When got back to hotel, the order was completely wrong. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
