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 food is always amazing, and the service is always very attentive. Specialty drinks also special. Every time we go, we wonder why we don't go more often.

    Encore welcomed us in and wished us a happy anniversary right away. The host also mentioned he saw my note about my dietary restrictions and that I will be taken care of. The food and drinks were delicious! The chef at Encore made a fantastic GF/V pasta dish for me. The waitress was extremely attentive and had a great sense of humor. The appetizers, drinks, and dinner were delicious and beautifully presented. They make some of their own mozzarella and pasta too! Our waitress brought out a V/gf anniversary treat for us as the end of our meal. It was lovely - highly recommend!
