Benvenuto! Opened August 2000, chef/ owner Corbett Monica and his wife, Julie, created this trattoria as an extension of his Nanas dinner table. A place where the neighborhood gathers to dine and enjoy life. Guests become family at our tables, enjoying recipes handed down from our grandparents. Following tradition, we make our sauce with San Marzano tomatoes and use only the freshest ingredients available, just like Nana. Our gravy is so good that we eat it like soup!

• Regional American (Southern) • Raleigh
Booked 11 times today
Mandolin is a breath of fresh air to the Raleigh dining scene, combining a casual atmosphere with fresh, contemporary, Southern fare. Mandolin uses the highest quality local ingredients to create seasonal menus that resonate with foodies and casual diners, alike. We share our food in a relaxed, cozy atmosphere that replaces the stuffiness of fine-dining with Southern charm. The menu and ambiance reflect the character of Raleigh itself- a blend of rustic and refined, contemporary and traditional, rural and metropolitan. Mandolin, like the City of Oaks, is Southern at its roots, but draws influences from around the world. We love our new home in Hayes Barton, just a stone's throw from Five Points, on the corner of Oberlin and Fairview.

    Love going here and the food is great! The Duck Egg rolls are overpriced. I got two small ones (not even 6inches as 1) - cut into 4. The beer was great those. But $15.60 for the egg rolls might need to be reconsidered.

    What a pleasant brunch! We were seated right away with our reservation and our server greeted us immediately. He provided superior, polite service our entire meal. The food was top notch! The fried green tomatoes were a hit! Everything we had was really good, and at a very reasonable price. Can’t wait to go back!

    Rey’s did not disappoint again tonight. We’ve been several times, and we keep returning because the food and service is exceptional. I had the 8 oz filet, and my husband had the 16 oz ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection. The lobster mac and cheese is always our favorite side. Lots of lobster tonight. I ordered the Black Beauty for a cocktail (first time), and it was delicious.

    Going to Firebirds is always a great experience. They had some new items on the menu which we tried and were good. The seasoned ribeye was a bit chewy, but the flavor was good. The salad was delivered with the main entree which was cumbersome on the table. It was also really good. All in all it was a nice afternoon out to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
