Vici Ristobar's offerings for the Triangle Restaurant Week are beautiful. The grouper and spinach were delicious, as was the cavitappi and Italian sausage. The tiramisu and canolli were light and a perfect finish. I also very much enjoyed the bread and the pear and gorgonzola salad.

It's one of my last days in NC before moving to MO and some friends picked this restaurant. The place is very inviting with warm lighting, an easy but large menu, and a nice layout. So glad to be introduced to this place. Definitely recommend. The chicken piccata was great. I would split a small salad as 2 side salads.

Our first time eating here. We had a reservation an arrived early to have a drink at the bar. The bar tender was so attentive and personable that we cancelled our table to dine at the bar. She had wonderful recommendations from beverages, to appetizers, entrees and desserts and everything she recommended was delicious. It was a wonderful dining experience and we will be going again. From what we saw the pizza is a must try too.
We order from here at least once a week and have started dining in! This is our favorite Italian food in the area! Everything is homemade and you can tell. The ricotta cheesecakes keeps us coming back every week!

Went during Restaurant Week, so place was almost full. Noise level was almost overwhelming. Hard to hear wait staff. Food was good.

We had an unpleasant experience during our first and last visit to this place. The atmosphere seemed great, with a family-friendly environment. Although the hostess seated us at a high table and provided menus, we waited for more than 15 minutes without any servers or staff approaching to take our order or bring drinks. Despite reaching out to the hostess, who attempted to find someone, no one came to assist us after an extended wait. Consequently, we decided to leave, and I spoke to the front hostess to express our disappointment. Overall, it was a bad experience.

I absolutely love this place. I visit them at least twice a week. I order the Pasta Fagioli Soup. I have never tasted anything like this soup. Authentic Italian soup. It's so fresh, as they cook it to order. Please stop by and try them out. You will not regret it.
We took the entire family to this location and everyone absolutely loved their meal. Our server was Giovanna who was absolutely amazing. We finished our dinner with a dessert tray that was absolutely phenomenal.

My order was a delivery & it was super fast. I’m from NY & grew up in Italian restaurant. This NY style pizza with fried eggplant was by far the BEST pizza I have ever had in the Durham area. Found my place FINALLY & will definitely be ordering again & trying the other things on the menu. I cook a lot because I don’t find amazing familiar food here in N.C. but this is my new spot . Thumbs up to the owners . DELICIOUS ? thank you . Be back on the weekend.
If you're looking for a lovely homestyle Italian food, then this is definitely the place to dine in at.
