Best Italian Restaurants in Wake Forest

Amalia’s is a lovely, one-of-a-kind restaurant that we choose for special occasions. The customer service is incredible and personal, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is quaint and quiet, perfect for a special occasion. We love the fireplaces in each room, the history of the home, and the attentiveness of the staff.

I recently had lunch at Encore, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely amazing—each dish was crafted with precision and bursting with flavor. From the appetizers to the dessert, every bite was a delight!

The gnocchi and the tuna are so well prepared we can’t try the other dishes. We have to have them! The broccoli is the best anywhere!

This was my first time at Mulino my wife wanted to come here for her Birthday we were a little upset at first because we made reservation for 5:30 a week in advance but I guess they had a wedding party already booked and they called us the day before our reservation to push our time back an hour needless to say I was not happy but I must say the food and the service was outstanding enough that the time no longer matter to me we are making a family reservation as we speak for my oldest sons birthday on February the 15th this is an outstanding restaurant with outstanding service

Our family enjoyed a fantastic and delightful dining experience on Christmas Eve. Our server, Taylor, could not have been more friendly, cheerful, or helpful. The sommelier offered tastings of her recommendations so that we could make the most appropriate selection. The food was outstanding from the first course to dessert. If all this wasn’t enough, our cocktails were exquisite. The bartender is an absolute artist. We can’t wait to return.
