Il Falò celebrates the art of cooking with fire – with quality ingredients prepared skillfully and cooked to perfection over the open flame.

Our wood-fired oven and grill add a kiss of fire to artisan-quality meats, fresh seafood, vegetables sourced from our local partners, pizzas on house-made sourdough, and elements of our craft cocktails.

With an emphasis on the craft of cooking, ingredients are sourced thoughtfully, pastas and breads are made in-house, and a contemporary approach is applied to Italian tradition.

Enjoy our open dining room, stylish lounge and bar, and outdoor patio, centrally located in the Brier Creek area of Raleigh, North Carolina.

Solidy mediocre in every respect but if you are staying at the hotel it’s OK for a hotel restaurant.

This is a must try restaurant! Hands down the best calamari I’ve ever eaten. The service was amazing as well as the ambiance. The next time I’m in the Durham area I will definitely be back.

Upon arrival we were informed that the Restaurant was out of pizza completely. this was a huge disappointment, since we picked this restaurant solely for the wood fired pizza. This limited our options to only a couple of items on the lunch menu. Based on the food that we did receive, not sure that I would return. Server was nice and restaurant was clean.

Food was just okay. Better Italian places in the RDU area. Ran out of certain items when got there but they’d only been open an hour very odd.

Service was great, food was just ok, cocktails were ok but a little too sweet. Seemed over priced given the quality. Had a good experience because the service was great.

I didn't know what to expect... But this place was actually fantastic. I went on Christmas Eve and the food was delicious. My Italian family is very picky about food meatballs...but they really hit it out of the park. It was honestly very enjoyable everything we ate

Family of 10 kicked off our Christmas week in NC at Il Falo. Perfect setting for hearty lunch and close proximity to surrounding hotels and amazing shopping. Bobby was a wonderful host, bartender and server. Great menu and food was delicious.
