Welcome to Francesca's Restorante, a family owned Cortland Italian restaurant.  Our love of food and family can be tasted in all of our dishes.  Many of our classic recipes have been handed down to us from our ancestors who have been Cortland Italian restauranteurs for over four generations.  

Amelia's was founded in 1967 by Francesca Ciampi and her sons Fabio and Luca. Francesca built a reputation for authentic, excellent food, served in a warm friendly atmosphere. We have continued in the Ciampi family tradition, and we strive to make every meal memorable, and every customer satisfied.

Chef and owner, Luis Salvaza creates a extensive menu featuring both classic Italian dishes and modern infused daily specialties. Relax and enjoy the warm and contemporary atmosphere or bring our unique and modern Italian creations home to share.
