    I stopped by here one evening after attending a local event with a date. We wanted something quick and close and this was it! The pizza is a little pricy but it was good and fresh. I would return!

    Came here after day drinking for a cheap but satisfying bite. This is your typical "dive bar" aesthetic pizza parlor. Pizza was ready fairly quick and the dipping sauce for the pizza was fantastic--reminds me of papa John's a bit. I was very excited that they had Diet Cream Soda--I didn't know this existed. $5 a slice but for the size, this is a great price. I thought it was solid for the type of place--open fairly late too.

    I'd give this pizza place a solid 4 out of 5. The ambiance was really nice, with cool artwork all around that gave the place a fun and unique vibe. It's the kind of spot where you can actually enjoy sitting and hanging out for a while, not just eating and leaving. The staff were super friendly and considerate, they even asked if the cheese bubble was ok or if I wanted a new batch! The food was good and came out in a reasonable time, which was a plus. Overall, it's a great place to grab pizza with friends or just chill, and I'd definitely come back.

    Good service and tasty pizza portion size was amazing it's basically 2 slices in one. Definitely a go to spot if your bar hopping and need to feed the liquor you have consumed.

    Believe it's called Garden state (special slice)

    I came here with my mom and my daughter. The service was great it was fast. The food was very hot. The slices are gigantic. The pizzas are thin so if you like thin pizza, this will be your place. they do have bathrooms for customers, which can be a little bit more clean but overall it was a great shop they have seating inside and outside cheese slice are 5 and basically every other piece is 6.50 the Joe mango lemonade was very good I didn't get a picture sadly and my mom had the Joe half and half tea and lemonade she said it was delicious will be back

    Never have I ever continued to talk about a place as much as I've talked about Benny Capitale's. After a recommendation from a bartender, we walked in, late at night, and left quickly with a giant piece of amazing pizza. They had a variety of toppings (parm, red pepper, and basalmic) and pizza slices that are ready to go. Service was quick, kind, and the place was easy to find. If you're looking for late night pizza, Benny Capitale's is the place in Raleigh.

    If you're craving a late night snack after a long night of drinking in Downtown Raleigh then Bennys got you covered. They are known for their ginormous slices of pizza and are open late. I always end up going to Bennys late night after being out with friends having a couple of drinks. The pizza itself is not out of the world but it gets the job done for a late night meal.

    Food was great so huge slices of fresh pizza staff was kind and patient seating was very dirty

    Massive slices of pizza with a crispy and relatively thin crust. IMO, you're best served by purchasing by the slice. A single slice should suffice. Two slices will certainly satisfy any hunger. As with any pizza, dine in is also recommended. With that beingbdaid and should you choose to takeout, their largest pizza 28" ranging from $36 - $42 dollars. Dining room is fairly small but should seat about 20. There's also a cooler or two near the register with assorted beverages. You can also dine outside on the sidewalk.

    This place was amazing! Such great pizza! Reminds me of some of the of the pizza I used to have when I lived in New York City! Customer service was great they were very friendly! Joshua is awesome! My friend had the sausage pizza and I had the mushroom garlic pizza. One slice was definitely enough! They do sell really huge pizzas as well! The art inside is pretty cool and different too. Good location right downtown. Next time I am here I will definitely get another slice!

    Pizza was fresh and delish!!!!!!

    Came in about 9pm on a Saturday. Service was great, pizza hot out of the oven and delish!

    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.

I adore the bar top design. After my date arrived and a few drinks later, we decided to sit outside for dinner at a table. 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.
