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.

    Food was amazing! Chicken Saltamboca special was delicious and a very generous portion. Our friends who were visiting from NJ requested if chef could make mozzarella en carozza, which was not on the menu and chef presented a beautifully plated order for her! She was delighted. Such a wonderful staff and a lovely evening with friends!

    This was our initial visit to Bodega Tapas, and we will definitely be back! Nick's service and recommended small plates were excellent, and food presentation, as well as flavor, were wonderful. We may have enjoyed a bit more Serrano ham than was served on that small plate, but the flavor was excellent. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience.
