Amedeo's North is a true family locally owned and operated restaurant. 

Today, Amedeo's North, Rick's Place, is the the only original Amedeo family owned and operated restaurant in North Carolina.

They, their staff and and their customers help support the economy of the community they live and work in - the owners and staff shop in other local businesses - the dollars YOU spend at Amedeo's North STAY in your community.  Amedeo's North is also proud to be a supporter of local schools and charities.

In 1954, Amedeo “Dick” DeAngelis traveled from Reading, PA to Raleigh, NC to attend NC State University on a football scholarship.

He quickly missed his mother’s and grandmother’s homemade recipes that they brought with them straight from Italy, so he decided to open a restaurant to share the incredible meals that he enjoyed growing up.  In 1963, Amedeo’s, seating only 12 people, opened on Western Boulevard.  In February of 2010, the restaurant was sold.

For the past 25 years, his son Rick has helped establish and grow the well-known restaurant that has recently been sold, and is no longer part of the Amedeo's family. Through his hard work, dedication, and loyalty to his customer base (who for years have shown a demand for several different locations in the area) Rick, along with his wife Lisa, continue the tradition by bringing the same great dishes and family-oriented, local-feel to North Raleigh.  Rick and Lisa are excited to welcome all and thank you for joining them in carrying on old, and creating new traditions!

This is dedicated to Betty DeAngelis, Rick’s loving mother.
