    I went for the galentines tea. I really enjoyed it, since this was my first time doing tea experience. The service was ok. And it's always a cute and clean vibe here.

    This restaurant is located inside of the Westin RDU hotel. There is parking out front or in the parking structure nearby. The hotel near the restaurant is pretty. There are several tables to dine inside of the restaurant and a bar. I ordered the chicken. The chicken was very bland and was not good at all. For what I got it was not worth the price. Unfortunately I do not recommend this dish.

    My brother chose this place to celebrate his bday. It's in the Westin hotel and I must say I could definitely see myself returning to try other items on the menu. The ambience was decent. Our server Isaiah was great. Very attentive and made great recommendations. If ever in the area give them a try.

    Visited Il Falò for dinner with a friend. I saw them listed as a participant for Triangle's Restaurant Week, however; upon speaking with the waitress I learned that was not the case. ( As a critique: the marketing needs to be updated) As for the experience as a whole, it was an enjoyable one. There was no wait. Pleasing overall aesthetic. Waitress Dominique was accommodating & friendly. The focaccia bread was very tasty ( flavorful, warm and ever better with the olive oil available on the table) The menu is quite simple. My first choice was the steak & potatoes , unfortunately; they were out of potatoes. French fries were offered as a replacement, but I went with another dish entirely. Unika B. & Co.

    Listen... Hands down one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in the RDU area. From the customer service to the ambiance to the taste of the food they did that {snap, snap}! It has been a while since I've gone to a restaurant that stayed on my mind once I left it. The calamari was definitely the star but the other dishes also held their own. I will definitely be eating here again the next time I'm in the area.

    Great lunch outing with a dear friend. Jhun was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We had salads, the salmon and bolognese. All was delicious. Great atmosphere and the manger stopped to see how we enjoyed the meal.

    A little burnt not just browning! Disappointing considering the high ratings we came for.

    The ambiance was nice inside, clean and comfortable. I ordered the Cesar salad. The flavor combination was outstanding but In every bite I got sand. Returned the salad and stuck with a Margarita pizza that was ordered to share, on the side. Pizza was okay but had burnt spots on the bottom that came through in the flavor. The staff was friendly but I ordered water and unsweetened tea with lemon, I got sweet tea and water without any lemons. I didn't say anything. I just think the staff on this day aren't focused on their jobs. Wouldn't recommend just based on our experience.

    I went here for some after dinner drinks with some friends late on a Saturday night and really Enjoyed it. The inside is beautiful and the service was good. We sat at a small round table just outside the bar seating area. We all ordered some cocktails, and everyone seemed to agree the drinks were strong and also tasted good. The price of the drinks are on the higher end for the area, but I felt the quality was worth it. I had an espresso martini and also tried my spouses dirty martini. Both were good. Our friends had two whiskey based cocktails from the cocktail menu which they enjoyed. We also had an order for truffle fries - SO GOOD and a margarita flatbread, which was my only "complaint." It was not very good, the sauce and flavors in general felt pretty underwhelming (especially for a restaurant of that caliber/price point) and actually tasted a tad bit undercooked. Still, I am giving them a solid 4 as everything else was so good, I'm wondering if may have just been an off night for that dish. Will definitely be returning to try out their main menu and/or other pre or post dinner drinks!

    Fun night with delightful staff and excellent food. Very comfortable seating. The BEST parking is in the rear of the building with easy access to the restaurant through a well appointed access--decorated, accessorized, climate controlled area. We generally order "sharing" dishes. Items that will be easily shared by the two of us. We enjoyed pizza, salad and a delicious dessert.

    I've been wanting to try Il Falo since I knew it was coming here. I'm a fan of Italian-inspired food and I like that Il Falo cooks with wood fire and quality ingredients. I dined here with a friend for a Birthday celebration. II Falo is a clean beautifulfully decorated restaurant. The staff here are kind and professional. Our waiter was Ava. The low table we were seated at was very comfortable I ordered the French 75, meatball appetizer, and the NY strip as an entree. All of my food had a great flavor and the ingredients tasted like quality ingredients. The only thing lacking was the temperature of the food. The food was not hot, which made me curious about the preparation process. For a menu that claims to be designed in collaboration with The James Beard Award-winning chef, I think I expected a way better food experience.

    We set a reservation for 5pm on a Saturday night to celebrate our daughters birthday. We were seated immediately at 5pm when they opened. It is connected to the westin hotel and Starbucks which was interesting. Our hostess Julia was very polite and provided a great overview of the restaurant. Our server Greg was very focused on our table even when things got busy. He kept our table clean wand was respectful to our discussions by not interrupting and coming over when there was a break in conversation. The meatball appetizer was 3 large meatballs that were most and flavorful. The chicken parm was tasty with good tasting spaghetti. Only improvement would be more sauce/gravy and chicken cooked a little less (see slight burn in picture). Goat cheese and hony ravioli was ok but the sauce was too sweet and needed maybe another type of cheese to thicken it. The steak and fries were excellent. The fries tasted like they were cook we d in duck fat but not sure. The chocolate gellato was amazing! The black currantvtea was not on the elmenu but a bartender special and was great. We plan to return and try one of the signature pizzas. Recommend more mocktails as we don't drink alcohol and the bartender looked like he was very talented.

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.

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

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!
