    We had a reservation and were seated quickly. The place is somewhat small. Tables for 2 were spaced just far enough apart for customers to be seated, reminding me of some restaurants in NYC. The Chicken Parmesan was burned on the edges and a little dried out. The Eggplant Parmesan was a bit mushy.

    Wonderful! Just wonderful! Ate here with my family pre City of Oaks marathon. I was worried as I have a dairy allergy (I usually avoid Italian as who goes to an Italian restaurant if you can’t eat butter or cheese, right?! LOL) our server, Reina was lovely and had some great suggestions! The marinara is delish! Even when the kitchen accidentally put cheese on my pasta, Reina and the mgr/owner quickly addressed the issues and had my dinner out super quick! Loved the service and food and Gravy will be our go to Italian whenever we are in Raleigh! Hopefully next time we can sample the wine list! Thanks again!

    Waitress hardly checked on us all night, food was super mediocre and not worth the money. For example, the charcuterie board was average parmesian and looked like it was bought at the grocery store. Nothing special. Would not recommend or go back

    Went to celebrate my partners birthday and had a lovely evening. The wait staff was kind, attentive and did a few things to go above and beyond for his birthday. The food was fantastic- great quality but homestyle Italian food. I took a bite and said “this feels like home” 10/10 would recommend

    I was seated quickly and had garlic knots and water within a few minutes. The Tagliatelle Bolognese was delicious. I skipped desert even though the menu had many wonderful sounding treats. Excellent Italian restaurant.
