I had an amazing lunch experience here! The bonfire wings were an absolute hit—perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat. I paired them with the Tuscan Sun cocktail, which was a refreshing and flavorful complement. My friend ordered the meatball pizza, and it was exceptional—deliciously hearty with perfectly balanced flavors. The service was stellar, with the staff being super attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was dope, creating the perfect vibe for a relaxing and enjoyable meal. From the food to the drinks, everything was on point. I'll definitely be coming back!

Our server Gregory was amazing! He gave us great recommendations on what to order, and the food was delish! The focaccia bread they have was the best focaccia I've ever had!!

The food and service is amazing. Elegant design and vibe and perfect for the after work crowd/business meeting. This is off the beaten path but the combination of this being at the Westin is worth venturing out too. The starter bread is incredible too. I'd come back just for that lol. Probably the best restaurant in the Brier Creek area but also the most expensive.

PHENOMENAL dining experience. The food and service were both amazing. I love going somewhere and seeing them actually put effort into a vegetarian dish versus just throwing together a veggie medley. I ended up starting off with the truffle fries which were hands down the best fries i have ever had. I then ate the riccota Gnocci as my entree which once again did not disappoint. and finished it all off with their tiramisu which i could’ve eaten 10 of. All together, terrific experience, I’ll definitely be coming back!

I recently had dinner at Il Falo (in Raleigh/Durham) to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was such a wonderful experience! Our server, Isaiah, was incredibly sweet, caring, and welcoming. When we mentioned it was my friend's birthday, he went out of his way to make her feel special — you could really tell he genuinely cared. Thanks to him, I think she had an amazing night, and it meant a lot to all of us. It's moments like these that remind you good people with warm energy still exist. Highly recommend Il Falo, not just for the food, but for the heartfelt service too!

Great ambience, very relaxed, clean and crisp. A MUST try. Server was very good and always had a smile. I could sense they were short staffed but bartender and servers were handling 5-6 tables well. FOOD: everything we ordered was great. Chef was great. Nothing was cheesy like chain Italian restaurant. Shrimp Arrabbiata -must try if you like tangy and spicy. Ravioli- if you like sweeter side pasta. Vegetarian options were less but taste was good. Brussel sprout was amazing and is a must try for table as it well charred and flavorful. All dishes had nice portions for 1 person. Not enough to share. DRINK- all cocktails were excellent especially Negroni. But little pricey for the area. PRICE- bit higher side for all dish and drinks, especially because ambiance/service is not luxurious for high-end dining , chairs/sitting were ok, inside was cold and portions were small. But a must try Overall great experience. One suggestion to keep checking temperature inside as it gets cold with front opening to hotel lobby.

Came here for brunch on Mother’s Day and it was great! At first I thought the buffet was small when I arrived but every single item was DELICIOUS and I left super stuffed. The staff is super friendly. Regularly checked on us even though we did the buffet. Constantly refilled our waters and brought my husband ketchup. There is an omelet station. The salmon and baked pudding thing were my favorites. They also have La Farm baked items like croissants and little apple pie things (I ate 3 of them!) There is also small desserts and a large cake. It is a little on pricey side but it is excellent and worth the cost in my opinion. There is ample seating and nice decor. It is attached to the Westin so most of the customers are hotel guests. They said they have been open 3 weeks and I was surprised with how well it is run. They were constantly restocking. The only recommendation I have is for the staff to change out the serving silverware because they were kind of sticky and got my hands dirty. Overall though, fantastic and will return!

Montre was an amazing server! She clearly anticipated needs, was thoughtful, bubbly, friendly, made sure my husband and I were always taken care of! She was amazing at time managing our courses, as well as the wine we ordered with our main course (a super Tuscan she recommended when we asked, which was PERFECT with the bolognese!) I hope she is working the next time we go because I will definitely ask for her! My only tiny and nitpicky critique, is the bread that comes with the Salumi platter was a little bit too hard personally, but again that is like the teeniest thing, everything else was perfect! I have never had calamari so perfectly crisp and I love that it didn’t come with the stereotypical sauces, it felt different than calamari I’ve had in the past. Will definitely be back for more!
