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 recommend adding Encore to your list of must-visit restaurants. The food and service were outstanding. Michael, our waiter, was exceptional; he was attentive, insightful, and ensured a pleasant dining experience. The Photo+Gin+Nic (I may have misspelled their interpretation) cocktail, made with Tito's, was very refreshing—I was tempted to have a second but settled for one. The roasted oysters and calamari appetizers were both generous in portion and delicious. For the main course, the Lobster & Shrimp Fra Diavolo offered a beautifully subtle spicy kick, and the surf and turf were both well-prepared and tasty. We'll definitely return.

    What an awesome place to eat! Food and service were amazing! Took my wife for her birthday, not only did the wait staff bring out a complimentary dessert, but the staff all signed a card for her, which we thought was a super sweet touch! Great restaurant, we would highly recommend!!
