Great food and excellent service! Nice variety of options. Very good wine list. Portions are generous without being too much. We live out of town but have come here several times over the span of 5 years or more and our experience has been consistently good.

The food continues to be excellent! There was an issue with the wine service. We each ordered wine flights as it was Wine Flight Wednesday. The server brought out the wines, set them on the table in a cluster and we had to figure out on our own which wines belonged to whom, and what the wines were. Wine Flight Wednesday is a good idea, however poorly executed.

...My party, and I really enjoyed our food and drinks. Everything was amazing. I gave them a 3 on the service because I was seated after a group that came in after me. Their reservation was 745, mine 730. They immediately were served water, bread, and drinks. After I finally was seated. I had to ask for water. Only my glass was filled, although it was 3 others in my group. I had to ask for bread. One of the drinks that we ordered was incorrect and never rectified. I ordered the ribeye, med rare, the first time it came out, it was almost well done. Then, my second ribeye was almost rare. Again, the food was amazing, but the service I saw others receive and what I experienced left me feeling some type of way. I would still recommend this place because the food was truly delicious. One of my very guests is a picky eater, and she didn't complain about her food or drink. Only that she asked for no capers on her order, and it was brought to the table with capers.

About the restaurant
Benvenuto! Opened August 2000, chef/ owner Corbett Monica and his wife, Julie, created this trattoria as an extension of his Nanas dinner table. A place where the neighborhood gathers to dine and enjoy life. Guests become family at our tables, enjoying recipes handed down from our grandparents. Following tradition, we make our sauce with San Marzano tomatoes and use only the freshest ingredients available, just like Nana. Our gravy is so good that we eat it like soup! Neapolitan menu, thin-crust Flatbread pizzas, Pasta, NC Seafood, Chicken, Local Pork. Without a doubt, the best cannoli you will ever taste! Our wine list features all Italian, hard-to-find selections that are a perfect match for our Pasta and Flatbreads. Wine Spectator 2007-2024. Local art is on our walls and we play a great upbeat music mix. We welcome you to our business, our culture, our family. It is an honor and pleasure to cook for you. Please enjoy our food and the company you share at our table. Mangia bene!

About the restaurant
Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, Cafe Tiramisu offers a menu full of authentic Northern Italian cuisine. The family-owned and operated restaurant is decorated sparingly and the dining room is a cozy, relaxing environment. Cafe Tiramisu has a full bar but specializes in wine with an extensive wine selection both by the glass and by the bottle.



Try the ravioli or the shrimp dip to start out your meal at Cafe Tiramisu. Choose from Italian classics like the lasagna or the marsala. The menu includes plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options as well. Choose one of the restaurant's sides for your entree like the fried eggplant or the sauteed spinach.

About the restaurant
WELCOME TO MEZCALITO


At Mezcalito We're a family, united by our love for great food, vibrant music, and exceptional service.

Thriving to ensure we are the family oriented joint you are happy to dine at.



MEZCALITO was born in early 2015, when founders saw the need for a restaurant for all. Something that would meet in the middle where we could serve food and drinks for all pallets and socio-economic groups, because all deserve to have a unique experience they cannot have elsewhere- nice music, beautiful scenery, good food, and great drinks. This was then when owners overcame their own personal fears of pursuing their real dream of having something of their own after working for decades elsewhere. Always with the purpose to proudly serve flavorful and colorful meals that better describe the origins of Mexican cuisine; bringing new flare and fresh ideas by incorporating trendy and traditional authentic elements.
