Best Authentic Restaurants in Wake Forest

Excellent food and service. Very loud restaurant.

Outstanding as usual. All the specials sounded great but just can’t pass up my favorite Saltimbocca! Love the bread too! John was a great server.

Food is very delicious. Our party got a little bit of everything; all was happy and gobbled their food up! Service was great. Ambience and decor is so cool. We’ve been here once before a couple of years ago because we were in the area. We drove an hour back to celebrate my son’s birthday this time. Absolutely recommend for a laid-back, cozy meal!

It was WONDERFUL .The quaility of the food really shines. And the deserts are amazing.

An absolute gem. I'm quite surprised to find this in Wake Forest. As I am from the midwest, I somewhat expected an independent place like this to claim 'authentic Italian food' but only serve Olive Garden style fare. I was a bit skeptical. Not the case at all - the place had the real feel of Italy to it. Very authentic dishes and care and attention to the craft. We were served by Gaetano, the owner. He was very enthusiastic about his food. We enjoyed the special Grenache made by his family in Sardinia, the Pappardelle Cinghale, Lamb Chops, and the veal chop. Amazing. And the owner brought us some of his special limoncello - delightful. Would absolutely dine here again. Great place, food, and service.
