Enrigo Italian Bistro

Finally had a full Enrigo dinner experience and it was a true delight. Four of us arrived for an early dinner before a concert at Koka Booth and from the moment we were greeted until we left, it was fantastic service, food and wine. We enjoyed their complimentary bruschetta with tomatoes, their regular Italian bread, the calamari appetizer and all four entrees.Husband was a huge fan of their ravioli. I couldn't have loved my pasta with clams and zucchini (a special) more. Others enjoyed a chicken special and the Veal Saltimbocca. The only dislike was the gal who had the veal did not like the mashed potatoes that came with it. She thought they were overwhipped. I tried them and actually liked them.About a year ago we were at a show and one of the performers mentioned they had just had the best Italian meal they had had in a long time and they traveled all over the place. They were talking about Enrigo. And I have to agree. It was really terrific.

So happy to be back at Enrigo Italian Bistro! This time for a solo lunch. Was greeted warmly by owner Gabe with a glass of Prosecco. Waiter Manny (and honestly all the staff) always makes me feel welcome and comfortable. Nice buzz in the restaurant for Friday lunch. Italian music playing. Waitstaff singing :)Trio of pasta was DELICIOUS! Bread was tasty. Tiramisu was flavorful and light.Oh yes, I'm going back! See you soon Enrigo's!

I just absolutely love this restaurant. It makes me feel like I'm back in Italy or back home with my Italian family. When you arrive you are greeted promptly and always with a smile. The waiters are just so wonderful. Always asking us if we need anything and of course making suggestions. The food no matter what I have has always been perfect. I've had many dishes, desserts, pastas etc. Some of the pastas are handmade which is why they are my go to dish. A special thank you to the staff, Emanuel & Angelo and of course the owner Gabe!! You will certainly not be dissatisfied with any meal here. Grazie!

Great location, fun atmosphere, prices are average ... just wish the food had flavor. I am preferential to lasagne and eat it when given the opportunity. Their lasagne was not only cold in the middle, the sauce was barely lukewarm, the noodles were over-cooked mush, and the flavor seems "dumbed down" for the least sensitive taste bud imaginable. Seemed like every bite was overcooked noodle covered in bland meat sauce and cheese. After telling them that it was cold and not good experience, i was told it was guaranteed fresh and to just take it home to reheat it in the microwave? Seriously?? Not high on my list of recommended places to spend money/evening.

Wonderful food is the norm here, and this visit was no different: the calamari, lasagna, rigatoni, chicken parm, and tiramisu all praise-worthy. Our server, Ellie, was attentive, engaging, and had excellent recommendations. This restaurant has very nice ambiance, and is dog-friendly out on the very comfortable patio. Just be warned that if you pay by credit card, they add a "non-cash adjustment" of around 3% to your bill. They must be embarrassed by that, as the check explains in detail how the extra fee is compliant with federal law.

Overall giving this spot a 3/5 because the food was not impressive to my party so we likely won't return again. The ambiance was casual and nice, its a louder spot but looks to be great for groups, parties, or birthdays. If you're looking for something more intimate I'd probably look elsewhere. Food wise we got:- the calamari 1/5 a hard no from me, pretty chewy & needed to be fried alittle longer. The tartar sauce was delicious though!! The marinara had little flavor.- caesar salad 2/5 different tasting from traditional and not necessarily what I was looking for, good portion though and homemade croutons were good- alfredo 3.5/5 tasty! But wouldn't order again, didn't wow- ravioli 4/5 also tasty! I may try something different if I did it over but it was definitely good. Arrived cooled down compared to alfredoService 4/5 she was nice!

Amazing service and fantastic food! Great authentic Italian experience in Cary, NC. I can't say enough good things about our experience here - the wine was fantastic and the food delicious and everyone was so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

After flying home from vacation, my husband and I needed to stop and eat in Cary before heading the rest of the way home. We googled restaurants near us and Enrigo's popped up. It was close and had good reviews so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant was very busy for a Monday night so we took this as a good sign. We were wrong. We did not enjoy the food at all. We are not very hearty eaters so we decided to split an appetizer and an entree. For the appetizer we ordered the Coccoli Con Prosciutto and Mozzarella Fresco. For the entree we ordered the Gnocchi Alla Sorrentino. Both dishes were barely edible. There was absolutely zero flavor to either dish. We asked for some marinara to dip the appetizer in (literally just fried pizza dough balls with some cold cuts on a plate). It didn't help. The gnocchi was under seasoned, over cooked and just all around bad. It was basically just a plate of different textures with no flavor. While the portions for both the appetizer and the entree were generous, we opted to leave what we didn't eat at the restaurant. Hopefully this was just an off night due to the numerous positive reviews we read, but we will not be returning to try again.

Great Service! Great Food with marvelous view outdoors especially if you sit outside! Wonderful atmosphere!Italian is the way to go for me!
