• Italian • Chapel Hill
Booked 39 times today
Giorgios Bakatsias' inspiration behind his newest concept, Osteria Georgi, stems from a deep appreciation for his dear friend- the late, great George Tarantini, an Italian native and beloved soccer coach for NC state University, well-known for his love and respect for hospitality. Osteria reflects the passion behind Italian cuisine and culture- a daily celebration of life while gathering around a shared table, of enjoying the beauty in simply prepared hand-made pasta, locally sourced ingredients and vibrant flavors, in having gratitude for the local farmers, fisherman, and artisans from which it all came, and always- a love for great company.

When you walk through the shadowed glass doors of Talulla's, an instant transformation begins to occur. Your mind and body begin to relax. Your ears pick up on the eclectic mix of music. Your eyes wonder around the walls, decorated in Turkish rugs; then the ceilings, scattered with warm, unique lighting pieces; then the floors... the dark, hardwood floors; and finally, across the plush seating areas, disguised by cushions and pillows and fabric leisurely draped around the frames.

Since 1995, we have been proudly serving the locals, students and visitors to Chapel Hill. A lot has changed in both our town and the craft beer industry since we opened our doors as the culmination of a business school plan I wrote my senior year at UNC. Today, we celebrate our North Carolina roots with a made-from-scratch menu focused on Carolina foods in a newly renovated building. I hope you enjoy a true Carolina experience here at Carolina Brewery and will look for our award winning beers on your travels throughout the Carolinas. Cheers, Robert PoitrasOwner/Founder

    We took our granddaughter, a doctoral student at UNC, for dinner during our visit from NYC. We ordered appetizers, drinks, and the steak supper for 2. It was not only a great deal, it was generous enough that she had leftovers (a wonderful thing for penny pinching grad students). The short rib - on the bone - was so succulent and the sides delicious. Our waiter was careful to separate anything containing dairy and very attentive. Overall, it was a perfect dinner.

    Two of the best things about this restaurant are the Chef's and Noor's outstanding service. Noor adds to the value and experience of dining at Osteria Georgi. A great personality and excellent recommendations to leave us delighted to visit this restaurant. The Chef's do an excellent job at seasoning and small requests for customizations with their wide variety of meals. Go here and you will be very pleased!
