Amalfi Ristorante Italiano

Top: United States: IN: Indianapolis

Description

The story of Amalfi Ristorante Italiano is the story of the American dream. In 1991, two generations of the DiRosa family left Naples, Italy to establish a warm and cozy restaurant in America. The plan was to bring the family’s most cherished recipes here and share them with food lovers who craved the taste of authentic Italian cuisine, not the pale imitations that pass for Italian food at American chain restaurants.

Space was found tucked away in a quiet corner on the northwest side of Indianapolis. Special care was taken to bring the flavor of Italy to the furnishings and decorations of the restaurant. Gorgeous Italian oil paintings were hung to evoke the beauty and romance of a beloved homeland. Glorious Italian music provided a relaxing atmosphere in which meals could be truly enjoyed and the conversation could flow for hours. The wine cellar was stocked with exquisite selections sure to enhance any meal.

And then the family opened the doors and started serving some of the freshest, most mouthwatering Italian cuisine Indianapolis had ever seen. Or tasted.

Amalfi Ristorante Italiano became an instant hit and has continued to hold a special place in the hearts of food aficionados ever since. Today, Mario DiRosa and his mother, Pina, continue to rule the kitchen and roll the gnocchi, while Mario’s wife Joni runs the operations and warmly greets all who come in search of the best Italian cuisine.
