This was our second year celebrating Thanksgiving @ Rey’s. We requested a quiet area and not only did they accommodate our request our meal was wonderful! The turkey was so tender, moist & very flavorful. We love the Thanksgiving menu that allows you to customize your soup/salad, dinner, sides & dessert. The portions were plentiful so we had leftovers to take home. Our servers and service was impeccable starting right at the door. We are looking forward to returning next Thanksgiving.

The food was outstanding. Our server was attentive without being overwhelming and showed an amazing familiarity with the wine list. The 16 year old dining with us ordered the mocktail and we didn’t think to mention pineapple allergy. As our waiter presented the drink to her, he told her what it was, including the pineapple juice in it. As soon as he found out about the allergy, he took the drink away and returned within moments with a fresh mocktail using a different recipe without pineapple. We didn’t have to ask him to, he just took care of us without complaint.

Mandolin is a breath of fresh air to the Raleigh dining scene, combining a casual atmosphere with fresh, contemporary, Southern fare. Mandolin uses the highest quality local ingredients to create seasonal menus that resonate with foodies and casual diners, alike. We share our food in a relaxed, cozy atmosphere that replaces the stuffiness of fine-dining with Southern charm. The menu and ambiance reflect the character of Raleigh itself- a blend of rustic and refined, contemporary and traditional, rural and metropolitan. Mandolin, like the City of Oaks, is Southern at its roots, but draws influences from around the world. We love our new home in Hayes Barton, just a stone's throw from Five Points, on the corner of Oberlin and Fairview.

About the restaurant

Benvenuto! Opened August 2000, chef/ owner Corbett Monica and his wife, Julie, created this trattoria as an extension of his Nanas dinner table. A place where the neighborhood gathers to dine and enjoy life. Guests become family at our tables, enjoying recipes handed down from our grandparents. Following tradition, we make our sauce with San Marzano tomatoes and use only the freshest ingredients available, just like Nana. Our gravy is so good that we eat it like soup! Neapolitan menu, thin-crust Flatbread pizzas, Pasta, NC Seafood, Chicken, Local Pork. Without a doubt, the best cannoli you will ever taste! Our wine list features all Italian, hard-to-find selections that are a perfect match for our Pasta and Flatbreads. Wine Spectator 2007-2024. Local art is on our walls and we play a great upbeat music mix. We welcome you to our business, our culture, our family. It is an honor and pleasure to cook for you. Please enjoy our food and the company you share at our table. Mangia bene!

Always a good meal and dining experience. The staff greets you upon arrival and appreciates patrons. I enjoy sitting on the patio this time of year. Easy for conversations and a relaxed vibe. The food arrives quickly and the tastes/flavors are great and consistent each time. A great selection of cocktails (some with a new twist, great mixology). Jujube is a little gem tucked away on Raleigh Road. Thank you for another great dining experience.

A wonderful lunch. Service excellent as was the food. On the Square is a treasure in this part of our state. I wish I could clone it in Rocky Mount. Between the great food and wonderful wine and cocktails it’s a one of a kind place for miles around.

A great birthday celebration dinner last night. The food was great with good sized portions. The servers were very attentive, but no obtrusive. Our party of 6 never felt rushed. My only complaint is that the noise level made it a little hard to hear some of the conversation at our table, but they may have been because we were seated in a corner with 2 walls. I'll definitely come back.
