    Gluten-free cheese ravioli (great portion size for me)
    Amanda A.

    We discovered this unassuming Italian restaurant on the way to an event last night. My teen and friend zeroed in on it noting there were gluten-free options on their website. I was pleasantly surprised to find out at the restaurant that they have a variety of gluten-free pastas including ravioli! I had this with a side salad and my teen had garlic knots (they smelled wonderful and came with a gravy boat of red sauce) and a Mona Lisa pizza with fresh mozzarella. Ashlin the server was attentive and helpful. We will definitely return.

    Great food - slow service! I like the fact that they still include a free salad and garlic knots with your dinner. It did take over 20 minutes for us to receive our salads after we ordered. Just like most restaurants the portion sizes have decreased. The eggplant rollatini used to have 3 eggplant rolls - now you only get 2 - still plenty to eat. The Penne Santa Lucia was very flavorful. Spotty service dampened our dinner!

    Italian sub
    Scott S.

    Wow!!! It has been years since I have been in Assaggios. Not cause I haven't wanted to but because I forget about it at times. I am sure happy I went back today for a great Italian sub. One of the best I've had. Good bread makes a sub and their bread is excellent. Crusty on the outside and not too thick where all you feel like you're eating is bread. Only thing I would have liked is a little more veggies but overall very delicious. Great service, very attentive and the restaurant was clean and well put together. I'll certainly be back to try other dishes. Well done!

    This is my $16 meatball sub with three meatballs sliced in half with little sauce and cheese.

    They need to up their game on their food. What a disappointing experience, wanting a good meatball sub and disappointed. Last time I will come here.

    Went in to see what a Bistro and Market would be. Turns out it is a Italian restaurant with a bar (does have packages of desserts to go) I got the hot meatball sub and the Italian to go. The meatballs on the sub had great flavor not much cheese and sauce. The Italian sub was ok too much dressing couldn't taste the meat.

    Garlic Knots
    Ike N.

    Easily one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Raleigh. I've been here around 4 or 5 times and have never had a bad experience. The servers are always super nice and attentive. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming, and rustic vibe to it. And the food is always amazing. Their classic pastas are probably some of the best dishes, but you definitely can't go wrong ordering anything else on the menu. Highly recommend trying the garlic knots here.

    It's supposed to be a Large pie with pepperoni and ricotta
    Stephanie G.

    My boyfriend and I order from here at least once every two weeks. The last three times, there has been quality issues with our order. After getting served this sloppy mess pictured below, we can no longer support this business. I tried to push through and eat a slice but when I picked it up, all the toppings slid off the pizza. $30 and they gave us pizza soup. My boyfriend showed them it before he left the store and the person at the front said it was fine. We called and asked for a refund from the manager since it's not edible.

    Assaggio's still reigns as my favorite pizza restaurant on this side of Raleigh. As a New Yorker, I'm considered a pizza snob. Assaggio's never disappoints. They also sell delicious Italian bakery items here. The garlic knots, tuxedo cake and pepperoni pie are my favorite menu items. Make this your first stop for pizza in the area. There is ample indoor dining space and they prepare your slices fresh.

    A generous and delightful glass of Riesling.
    Julianne S.

    Our family was in town for a soccer tournament, and after the first game, our son asked for pizza. I found Assaggio's after doing a quick search on Yelp, and we were all very happy with my selection. I started off with a wonderful glass of Riesling, which was a generous pour. Then, for a starter, we shared the Bruschetta, which had a nice mix of flavors. For our entrees, my son ordered a pepperoni pizza, my husband had the veal parmesan with penne pasta, while I enjoyed the lobster ravioli. It took a while for me to make a decision, though, because there were so many yummy choices on the menu. I was quite happy, though, with my selection. The ravioli is served with a thick and tasty tomato cream sauce. Each bite was a treat! The garlic knots also deserve a shout-out. They were so quite delicious and a really nice change from traditional garlic bread. Then there's the large selection of desserts, which greet you as you walk in the door. We were too full to have anyone after our meal, but we couldn't resist taking something back to the hotel to enjoy later. I highly recommended you give Assaggio's a try the next time you're in the neighborhood. The friendly staff is eager to serve you.

    We had a great eating experience overall at Mulino. There were 12 of us but because when we called…read morethey continually hung up the phone or the call would end (on a land line). We weren't able to make the reservation for 12 because it only goes up to 10 on OpenTable. We ended up having to make the reservation for 6 at one table and 6 at the other table. To tease us, they put the tables right across from each other and put a table of 2 right in between us. To make matters worse is that we were celebrating our wedding so it would've been nice to have us all together. The restaurant gave me and my husband champagne to try to comp this I suppose but would've been better if they could've seated us all together. We started with the crab cakes and arancini. The crab cakes were fine. The otter crust was crunchy and perfect. The arancini was stuffed with cheese, rice, and meat and it was delicious. They were also crunchy on the outside but so soft and good on the inside. I had the tagliatelle. The noodles were prepared perfectly. It was almost as if I was in Italy. Something I noticed in Italy was that the noodles were never cooked too softly. They were still more firm but edible and delicious and that's how they were prepared at this restaurant in Raleigh. The dish was excellent and very tasty. My husband had the medium rare Ribeye with peppercorn sauce over mashed potatoes with sautéed seasonal vegetables. This dish was prepared perfectly. The ribeye was delicious and mashed potatoes had a great consistency about it and seasoned well.

It was a chilly night, so they had heaters facing the tables, and the outside matched the loveliness of the inside. I had the lasagna, which had that delicious classic Italian taste. The meal, cocktails, and wine were all perfect; my only gripe was the customer service. I felt like we were being rushed out, especially when the server interrupted us to ask if we were done.

But... too many misses in too many areas. They belong in the Guide, but I don't think they're near a star. Some specifics: 1) The red snapper crudo is a mess. It's a delicate fish that needs a lot of room and light treatment to shine. Here it's doused in so much acid - tomatoes, peppers, vinegar - that if you closed your eyes, you wouldn't guess snapper in a million years. 2) The gem lettuces are... a Caesar salad. A pretty good Caesar, but there's just nothing notable. Little or no anchovy bite or citrus to balance the heavy hand of the dressing. 3) The service is hurried. I ordered 3 courses and was less than 50 min from sitting down to check. I appreciate a snappy kitchen, but this felt rushed. (On a side note... I sent back a cider that I hadn't realized was going to be so cloyingly sweet. Not a big deal - my risk when I ordered it - but it would've been a nice touch to take it off the bill given that I didn't touch it and ordered a much more expensive glass of wine in its place. It's little moves that shape a diner's overall experience.) It's a beautiful spot and a nice Mediterranean meal, but I wouldn't rate it among (for example) the dozen or so 1-stars in the DC area. Fiola (Italian) is a useful comparison. Several flourishes in the cooking and a higher level of service that make it star-worthy in its class.

Their roast beef panini is on par with Portillo's a long standing Chicago beef restaurant (IYKYK). I've NEVER had a beef sandwich that was better than Portillo's but Postino you managed to take a hometown classic and elevate it to a point beyond my expectations - if you get this sandwich I recommend getting it on the ciabatta bread versus focaccia. Let's not overlook the tomato soup - it's so rich and flavorful. For a lighter lunch my go to is the tuna panini with broccoli salad. They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta. For date night enjoy a Violet Femme a gin cocktail that tastes as lovely as it looks. The service here is top notch! Everyone is fantastic. I'll have to come back to this review to note the serves names we've had because they have all been exceptional. Now let's talk about the vibe! Postino's nailed the indoor/outdoor feel. Plenty of windows that are open on nice days, plants galore and the decor gives you a cool like rockstar but classy feel. 5 stars doesn't feel like enough.
