Il Falò celebrates the art of cooking with fire – with quality ingredients prepared skillfully and cooked to perfection over the open flame.

Our wood-fired oven and grill add a kiss of fire to artisan-quality meats, fresh seafood, vegetables sourced from our local partners, pizzas on house-made sourdough, and elements of our craft cocktails.

With an emphasis on the craft of cooking, ingredients are sourced thoughtfully, pastas and breads are made in-house, and a contemporary approach is applied to Italian tradition.

Enjoy our open dining room, stylish lounge and bar, and outdoor patio, centrally located in the Brier Creek area of Raleigh, North Carolina.

Food was just okay. Better Italian places in the RDU area. Ran out of certain items when got there but they’d only been open an hour very odd.

Service was great, food was just ok, cocktails were ok but a little too sweet. Seemed over priced given the quality. Had a good experience because the service was great.

I didn't know what to expect... But this place was actually fantastic. I went on Christmas Eve and the food was delicious. My Italian family is very picky about food meatballs...but they really hit it out of the park. It was honestly very enjoyable everything we ate

Family of 10 kicked off our Christmas week in NC at Il Falo. Perfect setting for hearty lunch and close proximity to surrounding hotels and amazing shopping. Bobby was a wonderful host, bartender and server. Great menu and food was delicious.

I was looking for a quiet and modern place to meet a colleague for lunch, and this was in a convenient location and fit what I needed. The restaurant was not busy, and so I was surprised that it took an hour for our meal to be delivered to our table after ordering. We were one of just a few tables that were occupied, other than one table that had a large party (~20 people), which I assume overwhelmed the kitchen at the same time. The food was good, I assume they were short-staffed in the kitchen.

We had a great experience at Santa brunch! Unfortunately didn’t know it ended at 1:00, so arrived at noon and barely had time to enjoy the buffet. Tickets weren’t inexpensive so this kind of bummed us out. Would do it again.

We were one of 4 tables. Service was horrible it took over 45 minutes to get brunch. The food was great but they forgot my husbands omelet and my tea. For Sunday brunch maybe have your a team not slow walking b team. Good luck next week with brunch with Santa. Maybe this should be a buffet only restaurant
