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.

The food was good nothing over the top, I’m a vegetarian so basic food for me, my spouse said turkey was 5 out of 10 just and wished there was second meat option. Over all basic buffet meal. Desserts just ok definitely a miss! The room it was held in was the ball room, I was expecting to wowed nope! Zero decorations. Hopefully if the do a repeat next year this could help them really WOW the dinners.

The Food for thanksgiving was very good. Turkey was moistand best Gravey I have had since Grandma was alive. The veggies were good the Dressing one of the best I've had at a restaurant ever. Thats alot of Dressing out, Loved the celery and added carrots. Wish there was one more meat choice for those that don't love Turkey Roast Beef or some Ham. Nice and clean and great parking. Will now try out the regular Restaurant due to how good the food was.

The restaurant was not too busy so we got a lot of attention, which was great. There was some mixup and delays in getting drinks, but that really didn’t matter. The food, which is why we were there was exceptional. This is the second time I’ve been there and the food was even better than I remember the first time which is why I came back. You really feel like somebody spent time putting together recipes that we’re going to be both delicious and very appealing to the eye. I will come back a time for sure and enjoy it even more.

Food good. Service good... restaurant was VERY NOISY! More like a lunch room than a fine dining restaurant. Does not match the website pictures at all! Connected directly to the hotel bar.. Marble on the walls just makes the noise even worse.

Have. dined here many times. It always the same. The wait staff is constantly inattentive. The kitchen staff is loud. You have to ask for drink refills. Slow kitchen. Takes a long time to get anything. The wait staff might be the problem. They disappear a lot. Last night I really noticed that the ventilation in kitchen wasn’t on. We were smoked with kitchen cooking odor when we left. Very strong in dining area.
