• Italian • Wake Forest

Amalia Fumelli is the inspiration behind Amalia’s Authentic Italian Restaurant. She was born in Italy in 1932, and grew up on a farm. As she grew up, she took an interest in cooking and learned everything about the Italian kitchen from her mother and grandmother. For countless hours each day, Amalia began making hand-made pasta with her rolling pin on an old, wooden table. After many years, she had mastered her pasta creations through her skilled handiwork, precise cutting skills, and the amount of love she put into her work. Over time, Amalia has passed all of her secrets and knowledge about food along to her children and grandchildren. One grandchild in particular, Filippo Fanfani, gained a passion for the art of cooking through her guidance. As a child, he spent all his days at his grandmother’s house preparing meals for his family. The two have a strong bond, that began with their conjoining love of creating meals that are enjoyable for everyone.

    I almost can’t even put into words how amazing this restaurant is. The atmosphere is elegant yet chic, with modern decor, comforting colors, and a warm ambiance. We were greeted by our fantastic server Nick, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and inviting. We choose an array of tapas ranging from the NC goat cheese dip to the seared tuna, Peruvian chicken to the foie gras crème brûlée, mushroom ravioli to the crispy potatoes and while absolutely everything was an amazing explosion of deliciousness to the taste buds, my mother and I both agreed that our favorites of the evening would be the arancini balls- this one being a spin on thanksgiving flavors, the wagyu empanada and the burrataTouille. We ended our evening with the decadent chocolate mousse and pear pecan pie both being melt in your mouth delicious- a perfectly sweet way to finish. Seriously fantastic food by the creative and well trained chefs of the kitchen. Not to mention chef Serge with his years of experience and wisdom would not disappoint with his combination of fresh ingredients and tasty flavors. The variety is enough for anyone with any type of palate or dietary preferences. With the portions being just enough to enjoy multiple options without getting bored of eating the same thing and not feeling like a whale when leaving. We paired our meal with a fabulous blackberry mocktail and the ship down cocktail which was warm, tasty, and easy to drink. This place was a wonderful experience appropriate for any occasion or event and when I say this will not be the last time I come here I mean that, my only regret is not coming sooner. Thank you so much Chef Serge, Nick and all the wonderful staff who made our evening out so special.

    An absolute gem. I'm quite surprised to find this in Wake Forest. As I am from the midwest, I somewhat expected an independent place like this to claim 'authentic Italian food' but only serve Olive Garden style fare. I was a bit skeptical. Not the case at all - the place had the real feel of Italy to it. Very authentic dishes and care and attention to the craft. We were served by Gaetano, the owner. He was very enthusiastic about his food. We enjoyed the special Grenache made by his family in Sardinia, the Pappardelle Cinghale, Lamb Chops, and the veal chop. Amazing. And the owner brought us some of his special limoncello - delightful. Would absolutely dine here again. Great place, food, and service.
