    I will 100% recommend to any and everyone..

    Absolutely amazing and worth every single penny.. I will 100% recommend to any and everyone.. this is authentic Italian food . I've been to many Italian restaurants. This is the first Italian restaurant that I could genuinely tell that they don't use frozen food. Every other Italian restaurant does not gravy. The noodles were homemade and delicious tiramisu I will be going back for that every week now. I wish I got photos of our entrées. I got the chicken Parmesan 10 out of 10 all across the board. Also super cheap for how delicious and good this food was. Bathrooms are very clean. Staff and waiter were amazing. Great service. It's my new favorite place. I don't think I've been to a restaurant that checks off all my boxes like this one does. You're looking for somewhere to eat. Look no further.. This is the place.

    We came for dinner around 8pm Saturday night. Unfortunately they were out of a lot of things like gnocchi and chicken parm, and it took a while to get our food after ordering. We got the carbonara, vodka ravioli, scallop risotto, margarita pizza and chicken cacciatore. The carbonara and ravioli were good, the chicken cacciatore and scallop risotto were ok. I wasn't a fan of the margarita pizza, but the tiramisu was really good and probably my favorite item out of everything.

    Vodka Ravioli
    Hannah L.

    What a dreamy experience! I took my very Italian stepmother to test the quality and got approval! We ordered the Cesar salad with salmon, calamari, vodka ravioli (with blacked shrimp - I wouldn't add this again), bolognese, tiramisu. My stepmother RAVED about the bolognese, meatball quality, and gravy. We sat outside which was serene. It's a fully enclosed patio with fans and umbrellas. But it was stunning, no direct baking sun, and no bugs. We also loved our server, Hippy! Very attentive and spot on recommendations! We will definitely return!

    Warm garlic rolls

    Great experience on an early Sunday afternoon. Close to a free parking garage on the weekends. Staff was very attentive. Eggplant Parmesan was flavorful with delicious sauce. Housemade pasta was a plus especially with the warm garlic rolls. Very comfortable and clean restaurant with patio dining available.

    I don't usually give the highest rating but I am thoroughly impressed. We did the prix fixe menu for restaurant week and every single item on that menu we ate and enjoyed to the fullest. We will be back for regular menu.

    Spaghetti and Meatballs Classic solid dish
    Michelle M.

    Sat at the bar last night and had a lovely evening. Ashley the bartender was so personable and friendly. We loved chatting with her and she was helpful in picking our drinks and food order. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and it was a solid, flavorful plate. But my husband won the night. His Chicken Parmesan was delish. The chicken with crispy and juicy and sat on a full bed of pasta. We also had the garlic bread and which was warm, chewy, garlicky and had a nice crunch. It was busy but not too noisy which made the space feel lively and fun. Will definitely be back

    Gnocchi
    Chandra J.

    I was told by numerous people to check out Gravy as the food was amazing. Amazing was a stretch as the gnocchi that was recommended as well was super rich, thick, and heavy. There was a lack of flavor, but heavy on the sauce and cream. I think due to this, the flavor of the peppers and other seasonings were drowned out. Three stars overall for the service and the people. My server was very kind and helpful. When she asked if I liked the gnocchi and I was honest with her, she quickly asked me what else I wanted, asked no questions, and got me something else. I decided to order the salada sandwich, which was a grilled mushroom pattie topped with grilled tomatoes and spinach. It lacked a lot of flavor, but adding the Caesar dressing and parmessian cheese helped. The food does not live up to its name or reputation, and that is why I won't return. Continue to have amazing service while improving the food!

    The chicken parm was crispy and cheesy the noodles were al dente so definitely a preference there. The bartenders were friendly and very attentive. The location is convenient right in downtown Raleigh, small so make sure you make reservations especially on the weekends!

    Risotto Balls
    Melissa Z.

    The gnocchi here is exceptional. If there's anything I come back for it'll be the gnocchi every time. Gravy is a cute Italian restaurant in downtown Raleigh. You will need to find street parking or a parking deck. We walked in on a Tuesday night and it was busy so I assume you'll need reservations on the weekends. Our waitress was attentive and very helpful so 5 stars for the service. I saw people rave about the free garlic knots they bring to the table but ours were small and rock hard. We told our waitress and she brought back a softer plate of them but they were still overdone and not how I saw them in other pictures on yelp. For appetizers we got the risotto balls and they were decent. The marinara could've been more flavorful. For entrees we got the gnocchi and shrimp alfredo. The alfredo is part of the lunch menu but you are able to request it for dinner with a protein. The gnocchi was a 10/10. The flavors, textures, peppers, mushrooms, and everything else in there just worked so nicely together. I already see myself coming back often just to get this specific dish because it was that good. The shrimp alfredo was iffy. The alfredo sauce is really seasoned and delicious and they give a great amount of it which make the dish creamy unlike other places who serve noodles with barely enough sauce. However- the noodles were overcooked. The first time it came out the noodles were so hard and dry and no amount of sauce could've covered it up. We had to send it back. Our waitress had them remake it and the noodles were softer but still quite thick and dry. I think if the noodles were different and softer it would've been a perfect dish because the alfredo was really good so that was unfortunate. Not sure if it was just a bad day. Our server gave us dessert to go for the inconvenience and we chose cheesecake that I gave to my mom later who said it was soooooo good.

The bones feel nostalgic, but the overall vibe is current and lively. It's the kind of place that feels familiar but still cool. Service Service is where things really clicked. Our server knew the menu inside out and guided us through it with confidence. Every recommendation landed. It also felt like one of those menus where it would be hard to order poorly. The Food The menu leans comfort food with a modern edge, and it's done really well across the board. We started with a Caesar salad with dill pickle dressing, which sounds like it shouldn't work but absolutely does. Bright, fresh, and just different enough to be interesting without trying too hard. The beet salad was also excellent, clean flavors and well balanced. Then came the pimento cheese with fried crackers. This might have been the sleeper hit. The crackers are dangerously good. Simple idea, executed perfectly, and hard to stop eating. For mains, the fried chicken was solid but didn't stand out the same way the starters did. The short rib pot pie, on the other hand, was exactly what you want from a dish like that. Rich, flaky, and deeply comforting. Overall Poole's is the kind of place where everything feels considered, from the space to the service to the food. It's approachable, well executed, and very easy to enjoy.

We opted for a reservation at the bar, and we enjoyed excellent service from Brittany and Kylie. They were attentive and very detailed with the excellent service that we have found out is the norm in every one of Ashley Christensen's restaurants. Our starter of roasted beets had an incredible blend of buttermilk blue cheese with white balsamic thyme, pickled pumpkin, and Marcona almonds. So yummy. Then my husband and I shared the Ricotta Gnocchi that we agree is the BEST gnocchi we have ever had the privilege of eating. So light in spite of a duck bolognese being the sauce. Fried rosemary sparked my home chef mind for future meals! We also shared the Brussels sprout upon Brittany's recommendation. One of the most unique preparations on Brussels sprouts ever with oyster mushrooms and a sherry cream sauce. We typically pass on dessert, but the description of their Pear Tart Tatin coupled with Kylie's verbal description hooked us and we were thrilled to enjoy every bite of the hazelnut praline ice cream that is part of this beautiful dessert.

I was thrilled that most of the menu was available. They were just out of the banana pudding. So I got to try the pecan wings I read about with the white sauce. It was so good. Then I got the chicken pot pie and biscuits. The pot pie had old biscuits for the topping, but the creamy mixture with large chunks of chicken was delicious. My biscuits came with honey and were served warm. I left with a slice of the chocolate-caramel-coconut cake, a side salad without onions, and a fried boneless thigh. The salad was made correctly, and the dressing was included. The salad was full of veggies, and the cake was rich and moist. Service was friendly and as soon as I finished my iced tea, another appeared. My wings were brought out first and it was a while for the rest of the meal as the restaurant was full. But they didn't rush me at all. I actually liked the space between the dishes, as I might not have been able to eat it all otherwise. I couldn't finish both biscuits and was even provided a container for the honey. I am going to miss Beasley's, but I'm glad I got a positive experience to remember the restaurant.

First of all, I implore anyone wanting to go, make reservations during peak hours!

Certainly a far departure from the typical thin, overly salty chip found at most restaurants and grocery stores. Excellent guac with a little pico and lime wedge on the side. I ordered the Baja bowl with shredded adobo chicken. The bowl had green rice, black beans, a whole lot of kale, tomatillo sauce, pickled red onions, crema, and cilantro. It needed a little more, so I added in some of the guac, a few chips I crumbled in my hands for some crunch, and some fresh lime juice. Noah did a good job keeping our water glasses full and he was quite friendly. However, the restroom situation is a bit difficult. There are two small unisex bathrooms, both of which have to be locked. There can't be more than one person in there at the same time, so plan accordingly. Granted, since there isn't much space in the restaurant, it's not as if they have a ton of options.

This downtown bar and restaurant…read morefeels less like a room and more like a warm afternoon--light spills through oversized windows, stretching across honeyed wood floors and catching on glints of brass and gold like little sparks of celebration. The patio blurs the boundary between inside and out, inviting breezes, laughter, and the occasional curious passerby to join the scene. Inside, it's a playful clash of textures and tones--lush greenery tumbling from shelves, vibrant colors dancing against natural wood, and polished metals winking from every corner. It's the kind of place where a cocktail feels brighter, conversations linger longer, and even the sunlight seems to stay for just one more round. From the moment you step in, the welcome feels less like service and more like being let in on a good secret. The staff greet you with easy smiles and a kind of genuine curiosity--like they're actually glad you chose this spot, today. There's no script, no stiffness--just a natural warmth that settles in as quickly as the sunlight. Behind the bar, the bartenders move with quiet confidence and a touch of showmanship. They know their craft, but they don't flaunt it--they share it. Ask for a classic, and it arrives perfectly balanced; ask for something new, and they'll read your mood like a seasoned mind-reader. The deviled eggs arrive perfectly plump, sunshine-yellow centers whipped into a silky, indulgent cloud and topped generously with the red peppers that bring just the right whisper of fresh garden drama, they're rich without being heavy, playful without trying too hard--the kind of bite that makes you pause mid-conversation, raise an eyebrow, and make you want to slowly work through the next one. They only come in odd numbers, sharing isn't caring on these. The BBQ hot honey pork ribs show up like they own the place--sticky, glistening, and just a little bit dangerous. The meat barely clings to the bone, surrendering at the slightest nudge, impossibly tender yet somehow still juicy, with those caramelized, crispy edges that feel like the best kind of rebellion. Sweet heat from the honey lingers just long enough to keep you coming back, fingers unapologetically messy and completely worth it. And then there's the mac & cheese--rich, velvety, and indulgent in a way that feels almost mischievous. Each spoonful stretches and melts like it's putting on a show, wrapping you in buttery comfort while quietly stealing the spotlight. Together, it's a plate that doesn't ask for your attention--it demands it, and you'll be more than happy to oblige. Cheers!
