Fantastic Chicken Piccata!! Great flavor and very authentic!! The service was outstanding!! They checked on us regularly and were very friendly. The location is very nice and they changed the tv so I could watch the world series. I will definitely go back!! read more

Anthony's La Piazza Prime - Chicken Piccata - Italian Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Portions were huge. Excited to order veal chop parmigiana but they did not have veal chops. Veal parmigiana was pricey but excellent. Homemade rigatoni' was great too and large portions of wine. Parking a huge problem. The waiter did not come by to offer any fresh cheese or ask how everything was. The food quality was worth a 5 star rating but these issues caused me to rate it 4 stars. read more

Unfortunately, my carbonara was really bad. Basically a bowl of butter with noodles in it. It was oily, not creamy at all. And they cracked a raw egg on top of it! I took two bites and couldn't finish. The chicken parm was ok. The caprese salad was ok. Can't recommend Anthony's read more

Anthony's La Piazza Prime - Spaghetti Carbonara - Italian Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

The outside and inside is very nice and clean space. We came in for lunch and got some yelp special which was just a cheese pizza and a glass of wine. The pizza was very large and pretty decent. Didn't care too much for the wine but I can't remember which one I got. There was only one guy running the whole front and was running around so service was a bit slow. I feel there should probably be more help for him besides just himself. Like a host or a manager up front to help with the phone, host stand and Togo's. The menu looked pretty good but a bit pricey. Might come back for dinner another time read more

Stopped in here for some pizza and was not disappointed! Alex was our server, he was super nice, helpful, and witty. We had the fried mozzarella, the Pizza Margherita, and an order of tiramisu. Everything was super delicious! The pizza had a nice thin crust with a great crisp undercarriage, the fried mozzarella was super ooey gooey and the tiramisu blew my mind. Definitely seems to be more of a dinner joint based on the ambiance, but overall it made for an awesome late lunch. 10/10 would recommend. read more

The Mister and I popped in early for dinner- about 5:15pm. While we came in for the pizza, the delicious sounding entrees changed our minds! Things were quiet, as we enjoyed our wine selection and delicate lightly breaded calamari. The bread brought to the table with olive oil for dipping was truly delicious as well. The timing of our entree arrival was perfect- as we ordered the chicken saltimbocca, and linguini with white clam sauce. It was hot, fresh, and clearly crafted with love! My clam sauce was overflowing with clams- and was the best I have had in the city of Raleigh! Seriously, SO many clams! I don't even make it at home with this many clams- it was inspirational! The hub's chicken saltimbocca was deliciously tender, had the perfect amount of fresh spinach and prosciutto and the flavor profile was as amazing as if I had gone to NY! Of note, it was enough for two meals! We finished our meal with by sharing dessert of chocolate fudge cake. Although it was also delicious, it was clearly the only thing we had that was not scratch made. Our waiter was clearly a New Yorker, and was on top of the service- he was excellent. Although the restaurant ambiance was nice- on the evening we went we saw lots of darling teenagers in their prom attire- so I don't feel comfortable commenting on the typical ambiance of an every day at this restaurant. One thing is for certain, we will be back to try more! read more

Anthony's did not disappoint!!!!! The food was great. Best food we've had in the city. Our server Alex was great. He was cool and definitely kept the drinks coming. Great ambiance and the music was great. read more

Even though this place is new, I anticipate it is going to start getting very busy! The whole ambience is very welcoming (thank you Keith!!!) and clean. We came on a Sunday afternoon and were able to watch a football game on big screens by the bar. We had the pepperoni pizza and it was absolutely delicious. For our meal, we started off with the calamari and then lasagna. Both were very generous portions and delicious. We're definitely recommend if you are in the Glenwood area and are in the mood for a good Italian food! read more

What a great location! On the first floor of the AC Hotel, we loved the street view from the bar. Our zucchini sticks were perfectly fried and the serving was generous. Pizza and pasta were really good as well. Our server was enthusiastic and happy to make recommendations- we tried the house red blend wine and beer from Crankshaft - both great choices. We'll definitely come back! read more

My girlfriend and I went to Anthony's on Saturday around 4pm and had the best experience! I wanted to take her to dinner for her birthday and this is the spot she recommended and BOY am I glad we found it! There are so many special and great things about it, so let's get into it! The ambience and atmosphere; this was absolutely five stars. Relaxing, casual, and fun. Very clean all around and hip, but nothing overwhelming. We did get there around 4pm, there was almost nobody there and we thought it was closed; how is there nobody there!? This place is so amazing: food, service, vibes. All of it. We sat at the bar and Ty was our server/bartender. He was stellar, and beyond! Attentive, fun, and absolutely a Yankee, like myself. I also noticed that the menu stated "Staten Island" Style. WHAT? I am from Staten Island and have never seen that in NC. Amazing. I will be transparent, at first I was a little thrown off by the pricing, but I will pay a bit more money for quality and delicious food any single day, and I promise it didn't disappoint, none of it. He brought us waters and I ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc; he let me try it first and I enjoyed it. The drink menu is decent, not incredibly extensive but enough of a list for wine, beer, and cocktail goers. On to the food. The food was amazing. We started with the grilled Caesar salad and calamari. I love a good Caesar salad and good calamari so I was incredibly impressed with both of these. The Caesar salad was perfectly grilled but not awkwardly warm. Flavorful and smoky, so delicious and fresh. The Calamari was amazing. A big portion and huge rings, yet so flavorful, the perfect amount of fried. The fact that the rings were large and portion was big and took away nothing from the quality was impressive. I am pretty sure this was one of the best calamari dishes I've had, if not the best! We then ordered two pizzas and a pasta to share and take home. A Cheese Pizza, Margherita Pizza, and Pasta Carbonara. I'm not quite sure where to begin. Both pizzas were so delicious; fresh and hot. Everything about them was great; sauce, cheese, and dough. It's hard to describe, but it was almost a wood fired plus NYC style at the same time. I can't wait to have it again (tomorrow, due to my leftovers). The Pasta Carbonara was also delicious! Great portion, fresh, delicious. I'd recommended the dish without a doubt. Okay, I've said enough. This place is amazing and go ahead and do yourself a favor and try it, yesterday. read more

We had Easter Sunday dinner there this year. It was a family of three. The food was absolutely delicious!! We had fried calamari which was extremely fresh & homemade meatballs which were so light & tasteful. Presentation of our entrees was beautiful & also they were delicious!! The ambiance of the restaurant is industrial look with a classy feel to it. Our waiter (I believe his name was Alex) was very pleasant & very on top of things...always coming to check if we needed anything. We will definitely be back to have dinner again at this restaurant the next time we are in Raleigh visiting our son. It was a wonderful holiday spent with my husband & son with at great restaurant with delicious food & great service. read more

What a great addition to Glenwood and downtown Raleigh! This place is chic and modern, but still has that authentic and family-style feel. Most notably, the staff is so welcoming and friendly! The owner/chef introduced himself and checked up on us throughout our visit. The bartender was so knowledgeable on their wines and so patient with us to figure out what we liked. And the pizza was delicious -- clearly made fresh and just hit the spot for a quick bite We sat at the bar which was super easy and nice. Definitely would love to try much more on their menu when I come back! read more

Food was good and our server was amazing, but the owner ruined our experience. We went to celebrate my fiancées birthday. While leaving, I decided to go to the bathroom and my fiancé and friend waited for me by the hostess stand in the entrance watching the fight. While they waited for me, a friend of the owner began antagonizing them for watching the fight at the entrance. When my fiancee and friend finally said something, instead of apologizing to them about his drunk friend, the owner began rushing them out the door, saying that his friend was drunk and he didn't want us to make it worse. When I came out of the bathroom he was already rushing them out the door. If a drunk man is constantly making your patrons uncomfortable, you should address that person before making your patrons feel unwelcome. That is not the way to treat customers who spent over 300 dollars at your restaurant and the owner ruined all of the hard work his staff and cooks put into creating a good experience. My friend left a review last night and he was just as rude. No professionalism read more

The food here was fantastic. Chicken parm & pesto gnocchi w/ burrata - both were delicious. Alex was our server and he was funny & attentive. read more

Went to try this place out for our anniversary and it did NOT disappoint. Being from Rhode Island, we were missing that authentic Italian flavor, but we finally found it at Anthony's La Piazza. We knew we had to try it once we found out Anthony, the owner, was from New York. The restaurant's aesthetic and vibes were great and the food was absolutely Everything is cooked to order and you can tell with each bite. Ty was our server and he was on point, always making sure we were taken care of. Shouts to the chef, Juan as well! Plates were executed perfectly. Big shouts to Anthony as well for coming over to chop it up with us. There's not a lot of restaurants here where you see the owner engaging with the customers to make sure they're enjoying the experience and food. We'll def be coming back! read more

The service was great. I came back and tried the lobster ravioli with vodka sauce. Very good tasting but the portion on this entree was very small. The complimentary bread on this visit was pretty good. I enjoyed the experience. read more

An excellent experience-- with some minor tweaks, this place could be one of the greats. We ordered veal saltimboca, house salad, and spaghetti carbonara. Complimentary bread: both baskets we received came out slightly warm but kind of stale. Like the edges all around the bread were just SLIGHTLY stale. Maybe they're toasted? I don't think they were, I think they had just been sitting out for 10 minutes or so. Honestly, I rarely knock complimentary bread, but nailing this would have put my review at 5 stars. House salad: quality house salad with lots of toppings. They split the large for us in the kitchen so we each got two very nice size salads. Chianti vinaigrette was great. (Minor tweak: stick with just the shaved parmesan-- the grated parmesan in addition to the shaved took away from the presentation.) Veal saltimboca: delicious, but on the salty side with that prosciutto-- don't order if you can't handle the salt. Mashed potatoes were out of this world. Dish would have been more balanced had we ordered the green beans instead, but the mashed potatoes were to die for. Spaghetti carbonara: a solid carbonara, beautiful presentation, huge portion. Don't be idiots like we were and order it WITH the saltimboca-- we would have been better served ordering something lighter (like a seafood or a red sauce dish). Saltimboca and carbonara were very rich in the same way-- wasn't ideal. OUR FAULT though. Now, the service: it was impeccable. Like seriously some of the best service I've ever had. And I paid attention to the other servers and how they were treating their tables (just to see if maybe we got the best one they had). No-- they were ALL incredible. They knew that menu inside and out, they treated the guest like a top priority. I saw one server, instead of telling a woman they were out of the martini she asked for-- he had the bartender make a martini he thought she'd like and told her that if she took a sip and didn't like it, she could feel free to order something else or not order anything at all. Like, who does that? In this day in age? That's putting the customer first. Making them feel like they are being taken care of. Listened to. Understood. All of the servers that I saw last night acted like this. Servers that weren't ours came by our table to check in on us and see if we had everything we needed. Our server couldn't have been better. It's as simple as that. I wish I remembered her name (it's not on our receipt), but she's blonde, maybe in her 40s. She's incredible. Anthony-- you've put together a dynamite team. The vibes: this restaurant fooled me. I was really expecting upscale Italian. Don't get me wrong-- the restaurant is nice. But it's a lot more casual than I was expecting. Staff wearing sneakers/no slacks. Hanging out (like they're family). A huge TV. No real major separation between the bar and restaurant. A tuxedo-clad (very talented) Frank Sinatra cover guy singing at the door. The prices made me think this place was upscale. The food they served me looked like it came from an upscale restaurant. But the vibes are really a lot more casual and fun. Not stuffy. The reason for 4 stars: the bread needs to be fixed. The desserts are not made in house (which is why we didn't order them) and the server couldn't tell us who made them. Had she said, "we get them from this local Italian bakery named, 'x,'" we may have ordered them.) Also, this is me being nitpicky, but the kitchen needs to work on their dessert plating. A simple YouTube video on plating desserts could make those desserts look like they can't be missed. A really wonderful experience overall. We'll definitely be back. read more

Our monthly dinner group, The Manhattan Project, enjoyed a fabulous dinner last night.

We've eaten here as a family before and always have an amazing experience -- the veal parm is incredible, and the pizza is true Staten Island style! Anthony went above and beyond for our daughter's 13th birthday dinner -- hosting 20 middle schoolers is no easy feat, but everything was perfect. The chicken parmesan, baked ziti, lasagna, and pizzas -- all delicious! Alex, our waiter, was outstanding and kept everything running smoothly. It was a wonderful, memorable evening for everyone. We'll definitely be back -- highly recommend! read more

Stuffed mushrooms -- highly recommend Bread first serving was hard as a rock but second was good... Not Great!

This place is so amazingly and deliciously unexpected! We walked in and there was live music. We were seated and Alex was our waiter. We started with very quality drinks. And they brought out hot and crispy bread with fresh olive oil. My husband had the Veal Parmesan. It was tender with the perfect amount of tomato sauce and mozzarella and parmesan cheese. I had the Chicken Piccata. Another amazing dish! Perfect sauce, with butter, lemon and capers. And our 21 year old daughter had the Chicken Marsala...she said it was tender and savory. And the finale was Tiramisu. Quality din er! Highly recommend! read more

Anthony's La Piazza is located under a hotel, offering dining and bar seating. On weekends, it might be best to make reservations because it seems like they get packed quickly. If you don't have reservations, don't worry; they do a fantastic job accommodating and making sure you get seated. The only downfall is the wait for the food. It took about an hour and a half to receive our food. It didn't help that our server never returned to check if we needed anything or receive any updates regarding the food. Other than the food time, the food was pretty good and reminded me of my favorite Italian spots in Jersey read more
