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.

Hibernian derives from the Latin term Hibernia, which means “one who comes from Ireland” or “cold, wet land.” The Hibernian Pubs were aptly named, as we wanted to bring a wee bit of Ireland to the Triangle. The Hibernian Restaurants & Pubs celebrate the old world flavor and the new vibrancy of Ireland. Carrying on with Irish tradition, we offer an atmosphere that infuses the alluring and relaxing nature of an authentic Irish social club and the warmth of a Gaelic home kitchen. All of the locations bring the traditional Irish pub experience to the Triangle. Our dark wood interiors, full of cozy nooks and beautifully sculpted bars will transport you into Ireland. We proudly cater to all walks of life here in North Carolina. On any day you will find families, friends, sports fans, and professionals who are all visiting us to talk, debate, laugh, drink and eat. No matter the reason, when you are at Hibernian, you’ll always feel like a local in our pub. Slainte!!!

    We had a good experience here. Three of us shared 6 tapas dishes and a dessert. We enjoyed the ravioli, potatoes, chicken, empanada, broccoli and Serrano ham. They were all great. Some of the dishes are on the smaller side but overall good. They also have a nice selection of wines and cocktails. Our server was very attentive.

    Great experience for dinner! Very popular - crowded and lively atmosphere for a Friday night. Servers attentive and very solicitous. 3 out of our 4meals were wonderful! The angel hair pasta and shrimp fell short with the super sweet sauce and minimal amount compared to the large portion of pasta. The hits of the night were the veal escalopes over polenta, the grilled burger & fries and the prix fixe teres major, mashed and broccoli with sauce chasseur. You MUST have a reservation for a weekend night - will definitely be back!

    We had a reservation for 7:00 p.m. however we had a change in our schedule and asked if we could arrive early. The restaurant did accommodate us but our table was very small and in a noisy area in the bar. Otherwise, very kind staff, great service, excellent food and great prices!
