    Picture on the wall of the legacy
    David B.

    I sometimes come here for lunch. Love this place. Authentic Italian American food near North Carolinia State University. Many of the staff have worked there for a long time. Service is always good--food exceptional. I love there Spinach Lasagna and Spaghetti with meat sauce. They serve a very good Italian Vinnegret on their house salad. The restaurant is a shine to State and Amedeo and his family. When you walk in, you feel like your entering and Italian restaurant in Brooklyn or South Philly, as well as a place dedicated to the Wolf Pack! Try it; you'll like it!

    I've visited Amedeo's Italian Restaurant multiple times in the past and never had an issue, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I ordered through DoorDash and the food I received was bland and watery--completely below the quality I've come to expect. When I called the restaurant, I was told to go through DoorDash. DoorDash then told me they couldn't provide a refund. What's most frustrating is the lack of accountability--no effort from the restaurant to make it right, even with a replacement offer. Unfortunately, this experience has changed my perception, and I hope they improve both their food quality and customer service.

    We went with a large basketball team of about 25 people. The food was amazing- I am a foodie. The drinks were delicious. The service was amazing. The next time we are back in Raleigh we will no doubt come here again. We got lots of different pizzas- all amazing, meat lasagana, wings, spaghetti... the food was fantastic. Thank you to the people there who took excellent care of us and made everything so smooth! Landon Sydney and Alyson - you all ROCK.

    This place is a very cute restaurant off Western Boulevard. It is dimly lit and has a sports bar vibe. The staff is very friendly and they seem to always have a good amount of people in it. They have a nice big menu of various pastas, pizzas, and subs and have big portions with decent prices! I had their famous lasagna and oreo cheesecake which were both delicious, but the one dish here that blew my mind was the lobster ravioli. After I tried it once, I never tried anything else again. I come to Amedeo's strictly for this now, EVERYONE should try this!!!!! The pastas here are so flavorful and taste very homemade. This is honestly rare because many Italian places around just give expensive flavorless marinara or alfredo sauces. This is a place you should definitely eat at if you're a pasta lover.

    Greek salad with hot bread and butter started our meal. Stuffed mushrooms was a nice appetizer while we waited. Eggplant Parmesan with angel hair pasta was old school delicious. Generous portions are the Rule at Amedeos. N.C. State University and Hurricanes territory are proudly displayed on the photo walls alongside with numerous sports memorabilia. Flatscreen TVs round out the sports bar atmosphere and full bar with wines, beers, etc. Your fan central with good food, beverages, and fun are highly recommended.

    A friend was in town visiting with her daughter who was at camp at NC State so I knew she would enjoy lunch at the iconic Amedeo's. It didn't disappoint. I was late due to traffic but they greeted my friend and had her seated upon my arrival to join her. I love Amedeo's lasagna so my friend ordered it too. It was so delicious moist and flavorful. Also the bread was soft and warm to accompany that lasagna. Our Mamas would be proud as we both cleaned our plates. Very friendly and professional service. Fun place especially if you're a Wolfpack fan like me! Lovely decor! Go Amedeo's! Go Pack Howl Yeah‼

    Great customer service and excellent quality food. You can order pastas in as many ways as you like. Great bar

I was sad…read moreto see that they adjusted their hours a little and don't open until 1pm due to low foot traffic and slow business for them. The chef was very kind and made us a little extra for lunch- such a great guy! Thank you for always making your food with a lot of love and care. The rigatoni alla vodka is still to die for and I haven't found another place that comes close to it in Raleigh or Charlotte. Encourage everyone to support this local, small business!!!

The restaurant is nice and dimly lit with plenty of seating, but you will have to find street parking around Glenwood. We were a party of 6 and they pulled together tables to accommodate us. Our server was a little slow but still friendly. For starters we got a Margherita pizza, calamari, the grilled caesar, and they brought us a complimentary bread basket with oil. Everything except the caesar was good. I guess we didn't expect the caesar to taste THAT charred and the lettuce to not be chopped. For main entrees, we ordered lasagna, lobster ravioli, penne alla vodka, and alfredo. The vodka pasta and lasagna were unflavored and disliked among the table. I would not recommend those dishes. The alfredo was okay. The best dish was the lobster ravioli.

    Meet some friends at Ponysaurus one night and liked it so much we took family who were visiting…read morefrom out of town a few weeks later. I've also been to the Durham location, check out the review if you want to know more. Panysaurus over all is a very cool place (either location) but they have drastically different vibes - which in my book is a good thing. The Raleigh location has a smaller footprint and doesn't have the same outdoor patio vibe. The dinning area is a bit small but turn around is quick and there is plenty of space to stand and socialize if you're just there for the beer. I really love Ponysaurus beer, their pilsner is nice but their kolsch is my favorite. The Raleigh location menu has lots to choose from, we had a margarita pizza with pepperoni, hummus and wings. I can't recall what was in the hummus but we practically licked the bowl and the wings were a big hit too - note the Durham menu is a bit scaled down but one thing that's consistent with both locations is the amount of pita that came with the hummus. There is nothing worse than getting a huge bowl of hummus and only a few pieces of hummus or chips. Both locations knocked it out of the park - plenty of WARM pita for everyone. Service was great, we did't wait long and the tables were turned over quickly. They use a mobile app for ordering food which makes ordering fast and efficient and the food is delivered to your table - which I must note came out very fast.

    Some things are better than others, but the star if the show is the beer for sure…read more Other drinks all come across a bit on the overly sweet side Wings are really good but overpriced And by far their best pizza is the chicken parm but you have to add the burrata mozz which again takes you away from value for money. I like it there overall but I'm definitely not a fan of the thunder-dome cut throat atmosphere of the "seat yourself" first come first serve...just make a wait list, takes 3 seconds

    Once upon a time, this place wasn't just a pizza restaurant--it was a pilgrimage site. People…read morewhispered about its crust like it was sacred text, and its awards lined the walls like a shrine to melted cheese and triumph. "Best Pizza" many years running back when that actually meant something. Now? It feels less like a restaurant and more like a nostalgic reenactment gone very wrong. The menu still reads like a dream--Carolina crust this, atomic sauce that--but ordering has become a real exercise in imagination. Half the ingredients are apparently on a spiritual journey and no longer physically present. You'll ask for sharp cheddar and get a thoughtful pause, followed by, "We don't have sharp cheddar, we might have a Wisconsin sharp cheddar?" --which, to their credit, has the word "cheddar" in it. The staff move with the energy of a group project that everyone forgot was due today. Pizzas emerge... interpretively. You might order a margherita and receive something that captures its essence, emotionally, if not structurally. It's less "wrong order" and more "pizza as a suggestion." A master of creative problem-solving, this cashier has boldly redefined the concept of "making change." Why fumble with buttons and math when you can simply hand over two beers and call it even? It's less of a transaction and more of a surprise gift exchange--one where the rules are unclear and the outcome is mildly concerning. And the wine list--oh, the wine list--is a beautiful historical document. A relic. A time capsule from at least six months ago, when bottles still existed and hope flowed freely. Now, asking for wine feels like asking about a long-lost friend. "We don't have that," they'll say, gazing into the middle distance. Still, there's something oddly annoying about it all. Like walking into a once-revered theater that still clings to its golden-age reputation. The performances feel like echoes rather than art, the lighting flat where it once dazzled, and every scene drags with the weight of trying to live up to a forgotten past. It's not bad enough to be a disaster--just disappointing enough to make you wonder if the hype was ever real or if you're just eating the ghost of someone else's great experience. Cheers!
