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.

    We were celebrating our anniversary. Our reservation was for 5:15, so we were the first dinner guests. The staff did a great job greeting us at the door. There is no rush when you arrive. The food was as amazing as the staff. The servers know the menu well and are able to explain it all. The buratta was out of this world. The ambiance was perfect. It did get a little loud once more guests started arriving but nothing crazy. We are looking forward to our next visit.

    Our food was perfectly prepared and presented. The waitress (Riley) was attentive, personable, and professional. Her personality and table side preparation of the Banana Foster was an added bonus. All of which made for a memorable Christmas Eve.

    Mulino is a wonderful place for a meal! My son and I took my wife here to celebrate her birthday and we were not disappointed. The decor and ambiance in an old mill provided a great atmosphere. Our server JoElla was friendly and very knowledgeable of all the selections on the menu. My wife and son had the gnocci and I ate the Picci with scallops added. Everything was perfect! I would highly recommend Mulino to anyone.
