"Amelia’s is very useful to the residents of Tamiami and West Kendall who are sick of hauling their Toyotas 25 miles across town for $30 pasta. It’s the kind of fun, celebratory dinner the neighborhood needs more of. With its Cuban pork katsu, Prohibition-themed decor, and flamenco nights, it might sound like Amelia’s is doing too much. And it is. But for an area that doesn’t have many excuses to go all out and wear their crispy guayaberas and ruffled dresses to dinner, it all feels appropriately excessive." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
