    The service was horrible. We waited around 15 minutes before we were given water and greeted, and we ordered our food and appetizers immediately after. The appetizers arrived within a normal time frame, however it took over 50 minutes after our appetizers came for our food to come. Multiple other tables were seated, served their food, and left before we even received our dinner. We did not receive an apology from our waitress– the situation was not even acknowledged. It's a shame the service was so horrible, as the food was delicious. It used to be one of my favorite spots in Raleigh, but I will not be returning.

    Made 7:00 reservations but weren’t seated until 7:30. The waitress rarely checked on us. Took 30 minutes between ordering appetizers and entrées. No apologies for the long wait. This isn’t the first time we’ve experienced poor service here so probably won’t be coming back.

    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
