Carne 10'' Pizza
Alexandra R.

Wow wow! So pleasantly surprised by this place! It was rainy and cold when my partner and I came in, not many people around. The man taking our order made great conversation, and even noticed my partners uniform & immediately gave us a discount! We had complimentary bread and butter (which was so warm and yummy) & ordered the Carne Pizza- it was SOOOO good. So fresh, crispy crust, amazing flavor. We can't wait to come back. 10/10.

Salsiccia Pizza

The new owner has turned this restaurant really enjoyable. The portions were huge for a great price and everything was delicious. I tried a little bit of everything from my family's plates, everything tasted delightful. The service was excellent and workers were very kind. The place was clean and ambience was enjoyable.

Dec 2022 Sunday lunch visit with a group of 15. A group member called in advance of our arrival. The restaurant had our table ready, complete with plates and utensils ready. Everyone placed their order at the counter and went to the table. The restaurant was moderately busy, but the counter, kitchen, and wait staff were working efficiently. I ordered the cheese ravioli and added grilled chicken to it. My order along with all others at the table was delivered with a reasonable wait time. The ravioli was good-sized and had good taste, Grilled chicken was also an ample portion. The menu had many good options and I would like to return and try some of them.

Sausage stromboli

North Raleigh folks, this is a great go-to for Italian! Whether it's pizza, pasta, or any of their other dishes, they are serving up quality and properly cooked ingredients. Order at the counter. Receive a number. Sit down at a table where you are brought terrific bread and butter. My most recent pasta dish that included chicken and broccoli was very well prepared and the broth had more flavor than I expected. Husband was happy with his stromboli with sausage also. Note: this is not the kind of place to enjoy a glass of wine with your meal. Little bottles are available if you want, but well, only you can decide if it's worth the calories. Do know that the food very much is!

Angel Hair pasta with shrimp.

Italian food at a low price for a huge portion. We had the pasta with shrimp ($16.50). It came with Angel Hair pasta, my favorite. We will return.

Is been a while since I visited this place, so I decided to go back and have some pizza, is not the best pizza i ever had but was not that bad either, it was okay, i did like the complementary bread.

This place gets 5 stars on just their bread alone. It is so fresh and very delicious. I am not a bread person, but this is so good. We tried this place for the first time this evening. Service is very good. They greeted us upon arrival. Very patient and friendly service. We ordered calamari and their calamari is fresh. They serve it with lemon and their marinara which has a really good flavor. The calzone is huge. Very good flavor. Ordered the pizza as well. It was good. Enjoyed our visit.

I couldn't decided what I wanted for lunch, but I knew it had to be easy and fast. I spotted Stromboli's and a few slices sounded perfect. They have a decent sized dining room and it was very clean. They offer counter service only. They have a specials board right when you walk in. They had a few options like a slice and a drink, a slice and a salad, or 2 slices and a drink. I went for two slices of cheese and a drink. The staff was very pleasant and all had smiles on their faces. They promptly took my order. They offer a basket of bread with every order which I declined. They give you a number and you seat yourself. My order was up within 5 minutes. The pizza is NY style, thin crust, but not to the the point where they were floppy when folded in half. My slices were a good temperature as many places serve them too hot. The taste was above average although I thought the crust could have been better. I usually eat my crust, not today, it wasn't doing it for me. The staff definitely had some hustle. They had a number of tables occupied, but by no means were they packed. Regardless, staff members were moving quickly to ensure people were getting their food without delay. The service and atmosphere pushed my rating to a 4. I would definitely return to try some other menu items.

I placed a carry out order with this company. I called the order in and the lady was very polite and efficient in taking my selections. She repeated them back and made sure the order was correct. She said the order will be ready in 20 minutes. I arrived and walked through the doors, I was greeted right away. " Welcome to Stromboli's ". I said I was here for a carry out order. she said my name and got my order. It was just out of the kitchen and nice and hot she said. The dining area was nice and very clean. No problem parking, but may have on a weekend. The food was excellent ( Cal-zones ) . They did not short nay in the middle of the Cal-zone. They were golden brown and done to perfection. Excellent and friendly service with great food to boot ! I like it !

Shrimp pesto
Mark L.

Stromboli's has the potential to be a Greek Tragedy (That would be ironic given it is an Italian Restaurant), but it has become the makings of a Meg Ryan Meets Tom Hanks Love Story. We are so happy for that. This restaurant is not on a main highway. It is in a small strip mall It does a lot of take out so there are folks in and out (Letting in quite a draft in the Winter) It is one room with a fountain help yourself soda station and you have to order at the counter so the thought of high quality, doesn't scream out at you. Let's suspend all that for a minute. The warm bread and olive oil they bring to your table while you wait is mouth watering good. The open face kitchen and brick pizza oven gives a smell you can't refuse. The portions are ridiculously big (Expect to take some home) The creativity is kinda awesome. I had this tortellini and shrimp in a creamy pesto. Holy Mama Mia. So good. So so good. So what makes this place work, beside quality hidden behind a small hole in the water Italian joint? Partnerships!!! They are aligned with a number of local high schools and honestly, we dined there because my father had a booster coupon from a school function offering a discount, so why not. We were so not disappointed. This is quality Italian with extremely healthy portions.

Mushroom sausage pizza, made in a wood fire oven..its called the sorrento..yum!
Leslie H.

If you enjoy wood fired pizza..this is a restaurant to try! I have been there a few times now and always dined in. They can accomodate large parties by putting tables together. I get the impression that alot of nearby school athletic teams eat there because of the pictures on the wall. The staff is nice and I love how open the kitchen is. My lil one likes to sit on the bar stools and watch thru the glass as the pizza maker prepares the pizza before it goes in the wood fire oven. The pizza is delicious and tasty. The right balance of crust vs sauce vs cheese ..everytime. Our favorite pizza to share is the Sorrento which is made with fresh mushrooms and sausage. Their pizza has been really good and consistent every visit, which makes us return customers.

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.

I was sad…read moreto see that they adjusted their hours a little and don't open until 1pm due to low foot traffic and slow business for them. The chef was very kind and made us a little extra for lunch- such a great guy! Thank you for always making your food with a lot of love and care. The rigatoni alla vodka is still to die for and I haven't found another place that comes close to it in Raleigh or Charlotte. Encourage everyone to support this local, small business!!!

The restaurant is nice and dimly lit with plenty of seating, but you will have to find street parking around Glenwood. We were a party of 6 and they pulled together tables to accommodate us. Our server was a little slow but still friendly. For starters we got a Margherita pizza, calamari, the grilled caesar, and they brought us a complimentary bread basket with oil. Everything except the caesar was good. I guess we didn't expect the caesar to taste THAT charred and the lettuce to not be chopped. For main entrees, we ordered lasagna, lobster ravioli, penne alla vodka, and alfredo. The vodka pasta and lasagna were unflavored and disliked among the table. I would not recommend those dishes. The alfredo was okay. The best dish was the lobster ravioli.

Sadly did not have room for dessert.

The Radiatore small pasta was delicious and satisfying while just the right size for lunch, adding chicken for a protein boost. My friend enjoyed the Chicken Parm Sando and Kardashian Chopped Salad. Good service in a surprisingly well decorated atmosphere, I would come back to Flour & Barrel for more Italian goodness! The Deets: I wanted to catch up with a friend over a weekday lunch and we scoped out Flour & Barrel in DTR to do just that. When entering in from the pretty nondescript exterior/entrance on the corner of North and Harrington Streets, it becomes a colorful well decorated bistro/bar type feeling inside which is welcoming. We were shown to our table next to one of the wide windows facing North St, I liked this table with lots of natural light and yes, I am a people watcher as well. The server took our drink orders and asked if we had any questions about the menu. The lunch menu is pretty succinct but well represented, offering focaccia sandwiches (sandos), small pastas (pasta handmade in-house), and salads. It also has a wine and craft beer selection also if needed. My friend went with the Chicken Parmesan Focaccia Sando (has pomodoro, mozzarella, and basil) with Kardashian Chopped Salad (made with romaine, salami, provolone, piquillo peppers, artichoke, and garbanzo) for a side while I chose the Radiatore small pasta selection. The Radiatore is described on the menu as "our version of carbonara but creamier / guanciale / egg" so naturally it caught my eye. I am usually pretty cut and dry about wanting carbonara to be the traditional type but since they stated upfront that this is their version, I was willing to give it a go. I am glad I did, as this pasta dish was great. The serving was the perfect size for lunch, plus I was able to add chicken to it as well. The sauce was creamy and delicious, going well with the al dente pasta. This meal was most satisfying and I would love to get this one again in the future. My friend really enjoyed the sando so much, he had originally planned to eat half and take the other half home...that didn't work out the way he planned as he devoured the whole sandwich there, it was that good. He also enjoyed the salad as well. Our server did well checking on us and making sure we had what we needed. I am so glad we decided to try out Flour & Barrel for lunch, it worked out perfectly and was a very enjoyable meal.
