   Our waiter was wonderful, very attentive and informative, knew exactly what he was talking about and could answer every question that we had about the menu. The food was amazing, the 24hr cooked pork was my absolute favorite, it quite literally melted in my mouth. Overall the experience was 10/10, definitely will be back again!

   Wonderful food that really felt that you were transported to Italy. The olive cake was out of this world. Everything was so flavorful and beautiful. The staff was incredibly kind and we loved our waitress Lizzy.

   The service and ambience are excellent. The prices have increased, but most shockingly was paying $35 for the corkage fee which should be $25-$30 tops. Unfortunately they don’t serve a traditional tiramisu. It’s served in glass as if it’s a trifle which is a shame. The focaccia bread was so oily and over powering with garlic that we couldn’t eat it. Having said that, both our pasta dishes were prepared nicely.

   The large veal bolognese was cooked to perfection with plenty left over to take home in a large people bag. Every bite of my lobster risotto was very flavorful. Excellent ambience and our favorite restaurant in Raleigh/Wake Forest

   We were seated under a speaker and the noise level was too high. We moved into the corner and then told we could only have that table until 7:30. The waiter ru st he’d us then to choose our menu items and we had to rush out before dessert. We wanted to linger longer as we had just met. The food was ok but the steak rather tough and not tender. It is a quaint place and we wanted to have an “experience “ not just dinner. Fell short.

   We were celebrating three family birthdays, and based on a previous amazing dining experience at Amalia’s, we wanted to return. Our food, the service, and our waiter Logan were all outstanding!

   Lovely atmosphere. Great service. There are a few things I would like to see tweaked on the menu—like the orecchiette pasta—put fennel in the sausage!

    Wonderful dinner and great ambiance - perfect atmosphere for friends to get together. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious! Burrata with squash appetizer and the risotto lobster were both excellent! My husband got the ravioli with truffles and it was amazing. We’ll be back!!
