- EEmilyRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoExcellent original culinary experience. Beautiful, delicious recipes were memorable—baked oysters, sweet, tangy sauce with a little toasty bite of bread crumbs; the greens and croutons in the Caesar salad were fantastic—like no other area restaurant; the seafood ravioli, the sauce the pasta were so fresh and flavorful; both the cardamom cheesecake and the Bombolo chocolate mousse pie w hazelnut crumbs were light, smooth and creamy and the hot fresh French press coffee added aroma and a perfect ending. We splurged tonight including sharing in a rich bottle of Bordeaux wine. Likely one of our finest, most festive meals for a long time. Merci Mille fois, Bombolo chefs and excellent service team! Fabulous date night!More infoBomboloPrice: Expensive• Italian• Chapel Hill•4.6
- NNicoleRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •10 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoLoved our dinner at il Palio. Service great as usual as was the food! We got calamari, cacio e pepe, black truffle tagliatelle, and both ordered scallops for dinner. Bomboloni for dessert was also amazing as usual! The black truffle tagliatelle is a personal favorite.More infoIl PalioPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Chapel Hill•4.7
- LLisaVIPRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •75 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe've been to Tandem many times and always enjoyed our meals there. This time, we had three old favorites: the deviled eggs, the Caesar salad, and the short rib. We also tried the daily catch, which was sea bass with a truffle butter. It was excellent. We will return.More infoTandemPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Carrboro•4.6
