Amalia's Authentic Italian Restaurant

(638)
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.

Discover Raleigh

As the state capital, Raleigh is a hub for much more than government and politics. The city has been growing for years, and with that growth comes an ever-expanding array of top-notch restaurants. Although it's common to see classic and contemporary American places as well as French, Italian, steakhouse and grill restaurants, just about every other cuisine is also easy to find. Some key areas for restaurants are downtown and north Raleigh. You will find restaurants interspersed throughout town too. Some are housed in historic buildings on charming old streets. Because Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University and several other colleges, there are numerous dining spots that cater to college students on a budget.
