• 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.

    The Valentine’s Day menu was fantastic. It was both fixed and flexible with enough choices for both of us. The service was excellent, and the staff was attentive to all the tables. It was a busy night, and we didn't feel rushed at all. Highly recommend ❤️

    Service was outstanding, ambiance was exquisite. Seating was very comfortable. Prices are high but you are paying for the ambiance. Reminds me of eating in west palm beach. Very classy. Portions sizes were all good. I had the RH Bellini.. good flavor, tasty drink. Started with the crispy artichokes. They had good flavor. Was my friend's first time trying artichokes and he enjoyed them. Next, I had the the Branzino. Friend had the Ribeye. Not a ton of flavor. Expect more flavor for the price.. but still, not bad. Truffle fries and asparagus were both good. Finished with the butterscotch brûlée. Sweet and it was enough for us to share. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and experience. We went for lunch. We didn't have to wait and it wasn't over crowded.

    Wow, one of my best experiences in the triangle in a long time, possibly ever! Service from Shannon was perfect, each dish was to die for and the beverages were thoughtful! My only complaint was that the music started out really good then they switched it half was through the night to a very bland and repetitive playlist. Picky I know but this was a 99% perfect experience. I will definitely be recommending everyone try out Amalias!

    I had an absolutely outstanding dining experience at Perry’s Steakhouse and Grille! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the stage for a memorable evening. The highlight of our night was undoubtedly our server, Marcus. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine warmth elevated our experience to another level. Marcus was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations of both food & drinks and ensuring every detail of our meal was perfect. His impeccable service made us feel truly valued as guests. As for the food—simply phenomenal. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender, and full of flavor. Our side dish of mac & cheese was equally impressive. Perry’s exceeded all expectations, and Marcus’s exceptional service made our evening unforgettable. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for top-notch cuisine and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back!
