Cafe Tiramisu

Excellent food, excellent wine, and excellent service! I had the scallops and risotto and hubby had the Pollo ripieno. Both dishes were fantastic! I will say that the tables are fairly close in there, but we didn't have any trouble talking to each other and could not hear the conversation right beside us. Portions are big. Recommend for couples celebrating a special occasion. You do need reservations.

Cafe Tiramisu is a very intimate Italian restaurant located in a shopping center in North Raleigh. I loved how private the restaurant was because there were these screens between the booths that made your dining experience special. The inside was also very elegant and dimly lit. We chose this restaurant because everyone talks very highly of it, so we had to get the famous spinach alfredo. I got it with pollo alla paola and my partner got it with grilled shrimp. I was able to get mine without prosciutto because I don't eat pork so don't be afraid to ask because many of the choices here had prosciutto. It also came with a lemon sauce that I wasn't a fan of and was a little strong. The shrimp order was a custom order. The menu consisted of different variations of mostly chicken with their spinach alfredo along with a few steak, pork chop, and fish options. The food was very filling but could use a touch more of seasoning. We got a side of creamed spinach but it was more like sautéed spinach on a plate of milk so I wasn't a fan. The cocktails were good.

Another hidden gem near Wake Forest! My husband and I came here for an early Valentine's Day dinner. The ambiance is upscale romantic. We felt transported to another place. The food was delicious and service was amazing. Everything was seasoned and flavored so so well. Highly recommend!

This is an excellent northern Italian restaurant with some very unusual dishes. I really enjoyed the chicken stuffed with sausage is a pesto sauce. The mascarpone chicken was great also. The portions are huge so we took half home. Desserts looked wonderful but we were too full to order any.

This is a cute little Italian spot for a date night, girls lowkey night or just somewhere to enjoy a tasty meal alone at the bar or with family. It's dimly lit for a calm, relaxing and even romantic ambiance. They have candlelights on the table. They bring the usual bread and olive oil. The cocktails are pretty delicious. I had the lamb with spinach fettuccine, lobster bisque and clam dip and my taste buds were definitely satisfied. I didn't eat all of this alone of course, but I tried lol

Service was great, the vibe was great, but the foods are not. We ordered halibut with linguine and Osso buco (veal), neither of them was satisfying. The halibut was dry, and the veal was also dry. Not juicy or tender at all. The linguine is also not good. I only tried one bite and did not touch again. However, the creamy spinach fettuccine comes with veal was delicious.However, there were some good parts of the foods. The dessert tiramisu was great, and the complimentary bread was really good!!Last but not the least.. I love their cocktails ！

Cafe Tiramisu is okay, average Italian food and average prices. The service was good, no issues there. Ambiance was better than expected, the entrance is terribly designed and causes constant bottle necks with servers coming and going, and customers coming and going. The entrance isn't big enough for more than one person at a time because of the design. The interior was classy and elegant though. The food could 100% be better, it's average. I wasn't impressed, but I wasn't disappointed either.

We celebrated our 24th anniversary at this long standing Raleigh establishment. First time for us. Hard to believe that this has been in existence for over 20 years! Holy cannoli! Located in a North Ridge strip mall, near Salt & Lime, it's a small, unassuming presence. Glad we decided to make reservations as there are less than a dozen tables and it was packed on this Monday night. The servers and hostess act as a team and I love that. Our drinks were never even close to empty. Kudos to management and staff for smiles, cheerfulness and great service. For starters, I opted for the eggplant Parmesan stack. Perfectly fried with mozzarella and tomatoes, this was a great start! The bread was crusty goodness and the oil and parsley addicting. For my entree, I opted for scallops with risotto in a very savory sauce. Hubby raved over his chicken piccata. My only critique would be the noise level but won't ding the 5 star rating as everything else was perfecto! A nice touch when the hostess greeted us with a happy anniversary.

My wife and I ate at Tiramisu for our anniversary. Every single item was a home run. We will definitely be back.

I'm Italian. Born and raised. While I understand that in the US you don't quite get "authentic" Italian food that easily and it's more comfort fusion, I learned to enjoy the experience. BUT this is one of the farthest from Italian food, in any possible way. I am not trying to be mean but it was just gross. Maybe I'm too picky but I know my Italian food and owned a restaurant in Italy for 20 years. Service was meh. Inside the ambiance looked nice but it smelled like bathroom so we stayed outside. Best thing was the bread. Save the $ and go elsewhere.
