My girlfriend and I ate a late lunch at Amelia's kitchen in west sommerville. The weather was perfect so we decided to go for a walk. We noticed earlier in the day that someone was actually sweeping and cleaning up the front sidewalk of the restaurant, so we thought...wow! If they care so much about the sidewalk, they must care equally to the service and food, right? WRONG! We were served by a waiter that had a cell phone that kept ringing and complaining about being there on his day off with the cook. They had a great special yesterday that was a personal pizza and soda FOR 5 BUCKS!!! The pizza was delicious and we loved the fact that someone was offering a great pizza at a decent price (being that TUFT University is literally 4 blocks away ) our food came out on time and hot. Once the owner came in and he started swearing and bragging about how he was going to fire his server once he came in. He probably said the word bull s**t at least 6 times while we were there. We felt very uncomfortable, so we asked for bill and left. Bottom line, these days, I would think that restaurant need to go out of thier way to offer a great product, great service at a good price to get more people to come in and spend thier hard earned money. Lets not even talk about the fact that you have to walk through the kitchen to use the restroom (which looked like a scene out of a devils rejects movie decorated with plastic floweres) and hand sink only had cold water. Next time I will order the pizza to go and not have to deal with rude owners and waiters.
Pros: location, grea food specials, perfect for students on a budg
Cons: the owners attitude & language, rude service staff
