The food is as authentic as it gets. Always wonderful. We sometimes get it to go, but prefer to eat in. The ambiance is perfect. A relaxing dinner, quiet, comfortable atmosphere. Randy cooks "old school" from scratch and it's hard to find a favorite meal as they are all so good. read more

Amelia's Authentic Italian Eatery - Dining area - Gelato Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Here's a clean, honest Yelp-style review that lands in the 2-3 star range without being dramatic or unfair: 1/2 (2-3 stars) I really wanted to like Amelia's, but this visit missed the mark. The mozzarella sticks weren't terrible, but the cheese itself wasn't fully melted and still felt firm inside -- not a deal-breaker, just not what you expect. The bigger issue was the meatballs. They didn't taste meat-forward at all, and for the first time in a long while, I actually had to put food into my napkin after taking a bite. That's never a good sign. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, and maybe this was just an off day, but based on this experience, it's hard to give more than two, maybe three stars. I'd be open to trying it again, but this visit didn't live up to the "authentic Italian" expectation. read more

Amelia's Authentic Italian Eatery - Spaghetti and meatballs - Gelato Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Amelia's is just a fine Italian food restaurant. The Chef/owner is lovely and enjoys meeting his guests for a chat. The food is quit good and all homemade, not truck delivered. The salad dressing is the best I've ever tasted, I get it to go all the time. read more

First of all in regards to generous portions this restaurant gets five stars, unfortunately when it comes to taste, food quality all the way down to the sauce, this place tastes like microwave heaven. I ordered chicken parmesan which was huge but literally devoid of flavor. It was if it had been frozen for years and then reheated. It came with a side order of penne pasta which looked good but literally tasted blah. Now I have a bunch of leftovers that I will probably wouldn't feed to my dog. I really wanted to like Amelia's but their food is not fresh, their sauces taste awful and their chicken parmesan is dry as a desert. I will never eat here again. Sorry Italian food lovers, but Amelia's is a place you should forget about, not remember. read more

As of Day 36 of being open, they're doing a good job! Very authentic, family run business. The wife had to check with her husband, the chef, when we came in at 7:15 to make sure we could be seated. We were. Our server, a tall, younger guy from Big Timber, was appropriately attentive and very sweet. The food came out quickly and was large portions. The chicken Marsala was good, very garlicky but the chef came out later to introduce himself and said they could have made it without garlic (my stomach is quite intolerant), so that's great to know for next visit. The bread was basic, store bought, nothing to brag about. But it did come with dipping oil and butter. The calamari was very flavorful, filled with sauce and peppers. Much different from other calamari I've had. Perfect portion for two. The salad was also basic, iceberg with a couple of tomatoes and sliced red onion. Balsamic or Italian dressing are the options and salad is included with all entrees. My husband's spaghetti and meatballs entree was a large portion but he said the spaghetti lacked flavor. The meatballs were fine but he wasn't raving. The Italian music had me humming along even when I didn't realize it. There are white columns throughout the interior, large paintings of Italian scenes, and tight table spaces. At 7:30 on a Friday, it was still half full, they close by 8. The best part of the experience was the great service. We'll go back and try a few other things. read more

See all

Fantastic place, great vibes and awesome service. Very welcoming and wholesome establishment with great food made from scratch! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a date spot, anniversary or just looking for the occasional homemade pasta with some great wine selections read more

Amelia's Authentic Italian Eatery - Tortellini and Chicken Marsala with Penne Noodles on the side - Gelato Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

The food at Amelia's is awesome, Way better then what i call Italian style eatery's in Bozeman. The staff is friendly and the food is amazing. Some people think that Olive Garden is the best. I've dined in several times and have has food most recently to go. Always delicious! Thanks for all your efforts in bringing real Italian food to Bozeman. read more

So good to see a locally owned restaurant in Bozeman. A bit off the beaten path on College but worth the try. Lots of atmosphere and ambiance. Friendly staff. Greeted by the wife of the duo owners. Friendly and polite. Tells you a bit of their story and that her husband is the chef. The food is good. Not perfect but certainly better than most. Prices are appropriate not excessive. Definitely worth a try to see what you think. Enjoy and MANGA!!!! read more

We ate here for our Christmas dinner. There was a large group of us so they gave us a limited menu to choose from ahead of time. I got the chicken parmigiana and they made it gluten free. There were a few of us in the group that were gluten free, I don't know if it was made specially for us or if it's on the menu but it was really good. And a very generous amount of food. Authentic Italian is not heavily seasoned. So you can taste the actual tomato in the sauce. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Maybe the cook/owner had a bad day. The food was only mediocre for the prices. However our server made the evening pleasant. read more

amazing Italian food, service and atmosphere. authentic and delicious! Would recommend will be retuning often!

Went for my wife's birthday. Food was outstanding! We will soon be back. Wonderful evening. Great job

The hostess, presumably the owner, was very awkward about seating us, and told us the story of the chef's mother then rambled on about shopping, and then just drifted away. The server was friendly and competent, but once we received our meals never checked back, or I would have told him how bad the food was...one of us had the fettuccine Alfredo with broccoli...it was a huge bowl of pasta swimming in a watery and tasteless "Alfredo" sauce with mushy broccoli. The other dish was chicken Marsala...the chicken was tender but that's all...the "Marsala sauce" was a thin, perhaps chicken broth based sauce with completely undercooked mushrooms, that had clearly never seen a bottle of Marsala, served with a side of cold penne in red sauce. What?!?! The calamari seemed to be hand-breaded, but was served in a sauce that just made it soggy. The bread was a small basket of sliced store bought French loaf with a little bowl of butter in plastic cups. The only thing on our table resembling what was on the menu was the mozzarella sticks. I was so disappointed and actually angry about the whole experience...but even so, I would have rather spoken to someone directly if they had bothered to ask. read more

Amelia's eatery was a disappointment. Usually when you see places that are kind of non-descriptive the menu non-descriptive the food is probably banging food coming out of that kitchen, but not here. I give it a one because when we picked up the order, the lady was nice read more

We had a delicious meal this evening. The portions are huge, so expect to have dinner the next night as well. I highly recommend coming here. You can taste the love. read more

Pasta was overcooked. The volka sauce was runny and was loaded with cream, it was light pink color. No warm bread. Totally disappointed.
