    Hosted a birthday dinner of 10, the restaurant was very nice and accommodating. The server was new, but she was so nice and asked for extra help to make sure we were attended to the restaurant itself was nice, we went during the summer so it was a big muggy sitting by the doors. Food is amazing. I would not mind returning, especially during the fall or winter.

    The food here was expensive and decent but definitely not worth the price. I know you're paying for the view, and I that's great and all but it's not NYC. I was also mad at the chairs we sat in. It was so small that I could barely fit in the seat and I was uncomfortable the whole time. I will say that everyone else's food looked great though! I got the butternut squash risotto with scallops and it was lacking seasoning. Props to the person who made my Shirley temple though, that was gas.

    Came here for a friend's birthday dinner, and we had a great time, all was wonderful . The atmosphere and aesthetics of this restaurant were out of this world. The nice interior, plus the rooftop, was amazing! We got to take great pictures on the rooftop while we waited for our food to come out once we ordered. I ordered their lasagna, and it was delicious no complaints there. The service was decent, the drinks took a while to come out, and our server wasn't very attentive to us, which was not great. Overall, the experience was great, the only downside was the service. Other than that, I would recommend this place for the vibes and a night out with friends or family.

    This place was extremely aesthetically pleasing! This would be a great place for a cute date night or a night out with the girls. Our server was really helpful and quick to answer any questions we had. The drinks were great and the food was appetizing. The arancini balls were fried good I just wish there was a bit more sauce. I ordered the risotto with scallops and I was disappointed with this dish. It wasn't as seasoned as I would have liked and I wish there were more a few more pieces of the scallops. I did try my sister's salmon and that was perfectly cooked and seasoned.

    Amazing views at sunset. Wow. If you are heading here please try to be here as the sun is going down. With the clear view to the west (see pic) and the reflective buildings to the east you get a dusk to remember. We did not eat here so no info on the food. The drinks were made perfectly and prices are typical. Our first bartender gets one star. Maybe he was having a bad night. He came to our seats at the bar, he asked about our order but before we could even reply he looked at a piece of paper in his hands and walked away. He never came back to us...but he served others near us. What the what?! Second bartender finally saw us and she was awesome. Professional, courteous, and friendly. Plus the drinks were perfect and served promptly. All in all just a weird experience. Never had a situation where the dude flat out failed like that. The evening ended on a positive note but this feels like La Terrazza turned a five star review into a 1 star memory. Weird.

    Party of 10. Host did a great job. Food and drinks were great although pricier for much of the market in the area. The Sicilian was so pasta heavy. Pls make it a little thinner to balance the sauce. Ambiance inside was good but the lights on our table turned off 30 minutes after we sat down and no one turned it back on even after we told the staff. Server served water but didn't ask us for our drinks. We went to the bar to order. The server also wanted us to start boxing our food even though we were still eating. Picture posted with boxes on the table. Again I had to call his attention. The view outside phenomenal. Three stars but there's lots of potential. I will try go again to see if suggestions here are applied for improvement. I will be updating if I get a better experience.

    This is one of my favorite spots in downtown Raleigh! I've been in the summer and winter and had amazing experiences both times. In summer, it was magical to sit outside and have the Raleigh skyline to bask in. In the winter, I brought my large family here to sit inside. We got similarly amazing views sitting in the opulent, glass walled dining area. Getting everyone to agree in my family is tough - but we all agreed that this was the best Italian place! We all ordered different pizza and pasta dishes and we were somehow all abundantly pleased with our selections! In my opinion, the hidden gem on the menu is the lasagna. I would never normally order but it is worth it! As always, I appreciate their professional, fastidious servers!

    I booked a reservation for this rooftop restaurant to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. It's overlooking downtown raleigh, so the views and atmosphere were pretty top notch.....except for the fact that the building is across the street from Raleigh Union Train Station. Keep in mind you'll be hearing a train horn every 15-20 minutes if you decide to eat outside. The food was hit-or-miss. On one hand, The Sicilian dish was pretty good, had a nice pesto and pistachio base, just a bit too oily in my opinion. My girlfriend tried to order the ravioli main dish, but the waiter mentioned that they "ran out". She ordered the Tagliatelle, which for all intents and purposes was the most basic pasta dish ever. The sauce was unflavorful, similar to ragu, and there was no salt or seasoning added to the dish whatsoever. We literally had to manually add salt to it because it was that bland. We also ordered The Arancini appetizer dish which are basically these fried risotto balls. They tasted a bit freezer burned and were served with that same unflavorful sauce from the Tagliatelle. The drinks were probably the best part of the dinner, no complaints in that avenue. The chairs are metal and pretty hard to sit on, but that might just be a matter of opinion on my end. The big kicker was that there were COCKROACHES all over the overlook deck. Huge ones too, I tried to get a video of what my girlfriend and I saw so I could prove it, but we decided to just get out of there. Not my favorite experience.

    One of the best Italian spots in Raleigh that we've had so far! We attended a friend's birthday dinner and had an amazing time, thanks to both food and company. The appetizers were tasty, lamb chops absolutely delivered, and the desserts were even better than we expected (bombolini was my favorite)! Our servers were helpful but sometimes too quiet for our large table to hear. The ambiance was perfect for celebrating and this is definitely an establishment to visit on special occasion.

    Visited on Father's Day with my family of 6. The setting is pretty cool. Nice entry way with access to the roof top deck. The hostesses aren't the friendliest but there were plenty of them. We chose to sit outside and while it was pretty humid it made for a funner experience. It rained off and on, but the windows opened and closed accordingly. The service was good, but nothing great. Unfortunately, I struggled to find something to drink. THEY DO NOT HAVE SWEET TEA. We are in NC. This is the South. No restaurant, no matter the price point, should not have sweet tea. I was told that they have Pepsi products, but that's not exactly true. They have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and I was told Sprite, but I pointed out that's a Coke product so she corrected herself that it's Sierra Mist. I wasn't trying to be difficult, but seriously, you don't offer tea, root beer, Mountain Dew...? I tried Ginger Beer, only to be disappointed and settled on Ginger Ale. I was left dehydrated. The apps were the best part of the meal. I recommend the arancini and the polpo. We each tried different pastas. They were fine, but nothing I need to eat again. The desserts looked amazing, but unfortunately looked nicer than they tasted. I didn't taste anything on the menu that I'd return for. It's unfortunate, because I was hoping to refer many others here. Access to the balcony for pics are free. Find somewhere else to eat.

    Came here for a girls night out dinner. Parking logistics are great since the restaurant is on the roof of the garage but unlike what the restaurant states, parking is not free. Their outdoor seating is gorgeous and perfect for date night. The cocktails were a 10/10, food was a 7/10 (overcooked kababs and undercooked risotto), but otherwise we had an amazing time.

    I attended a birthday celebration at La Terrazza, located on the 9th floor of the Dillion. The rooftop offered stunning views and a delightful ambiance, making it a top on my list of favorite spots. While the service was a bit slow, our server was professional and attentive, providing a comprehensive rundown of the specials. The food, including the pork belly appetizer and the Lasagna with Greek salad, was all delicious. Other appetizers, such as calamari, beef, and lamb skewers, were also thoroughly enjoyed by our group. Despite the wait, everything was worth it. Our server, Justin, did a fantastic job, going the extra mile to ensure we had a great experience, including taking care of the birthday cake. I highly recommend La Terrazza and look forward to returning. The seats inside could be better. Not the most comfortable. I understand it's a hot spot, so perhaps this is a way to influence customers to eat and go. We did enjoy outside seating ( with more back support) and views on the rooftop after dinner inside.

We dined at their lovely bar back in the first months of their opening, and it was good. We had met the general manager, Red, and were impressed with the flavors of our one appetizer, Calabrian Chicken, yet we never rushed back. Now, we feel compelled to return ASAP to enjoy these exceptional flavors, fabulous teamwork system of service, and a comfortable chic atmosphere. The place was happening at 5:45 pm on our recent dining night out with friends. Grateful to have a reservation we were seated at a very comfortable banquette type of seating. It felt like dining in a friend's home. Our server, William, is excellent at his job. Very efficient, great input on food choices, and quite personable. The meal started off with a burst of flavor as we enjoyed their fairly new offering of a ceviche called Eye of the Tiger that featured a sauce you can never get enough of. Wish their bread service was a bit more inspired, but the Le Farm bread did soak up some of the various sauces sent out from a very inspired kitchen team. Food runners help make certain the tapas come out fresh and hot when needed. They are a friendly group of hospitality workers who seem to genuinely enjoy their work and treat their guests with sincere appreciation. It all starts at the top, and GM Red is a personable and sound leader. We loved the Chef's pasta, our octopus dish was stellar, the Calabrian Chicken almost stole the show, but the unctuous flavors on the plate of the Seared Halloumi was hands down my favorite. I love how this culinary team can crank out such outstanding flavors table to table and patron to patron without missing a beat. The energy in the room must feed their souls & for that we are grateful. Lastly I wish to mention the thoughtfully curated wine list where my husband discovered a treasure of a wine from the Familia Torres brand. It was exquisite and paired perfectly with Madre's flavors. Our friend who frequent their bar often rave about their Mezcal margarita! Another visit. See you soon Madre familia!

If you have nothing else, order the cauliflower with the green goddess dressing. Maybe order that two or three times, actually. The salchipapas are probably my favorite app in Raleigh. Also, the owners are both super cute, and the Bryan Costello design is magnifique. I would hire that man to redo my entire home to feel like Madre.

It was frustrating because that's one of the main dishes people go there for. What really stopped me from giving this place a higher rating was the condition of the men's bathroom. It was pretty gross, with visible mold and a wet towel on the floor that looked like it was there because of a leaking toilet. A lot of people say the bathroom reflects how clean the restaurant is overall, and honestly that crossed my mind while eating there. The food and service were good, but the restaurant really needs to improve the cleanliness and do a better job keeping popular menu items available.

We started with the saganaki and hummus, then decided to go all in and order the Grecian Feast for two. In hindsight, that was a lot of food after already getting starters. Definitely come hungry or plan to split the feast with 3. The platter itself is huge and comes with a dip, rice, salad and your choice of meats and/or seafood. The highlights for us were the spicy feta and the salmon, both of which had great flavor. The lowlight was the chicken, which was way overcooked and ended up tough and pretty tasteless. Service unfortunately dragged the experience down quite a bit. It felt like we waited about 15 minutes before anyone came by with menus, then another 15 minutes before our drink orders were taken. Once we finally ordered everything, the food actually came out fairly quickly. But by the end of the meal we were basically hunting for our server. At one point we both separately went to the bathroom (including a trip to the one downstairs) and still had not seen our server to try to get the check. Overall, come for the rooftop atmosphere, but I would recommend ordering all of your drinks and food at once so you can just sit back and enjoy the patio without waiting around for service.
