Sairam Neelam: While the food here is decent and staff is great, the one star is for the elderly man who sits and sips his wine at the entrance door. It is weird he constantly looks at the customers and do not hesitate to give his strong, impolite opinions.The real ignorance is the owner thinks a customer review as an attack and not a feedback.

Dalton Stickler: Owner would not honor a coupon we bought. Treated us very poorly and screamed at us in the middle of the restaurant. He has horrible customer service skills and is very rude.

Emily Alt: the spaghetti was delicious and the atmosphere and vibe is perfect. good for a quiet and cute date night. my friends and i will be going back for sure :)

Cameron Campbell: Horrible experience. Bread was old, I've had better Alfredo sauce in a can and they charge you the same amount for an appetizer as the meal version and the portions for everything were small. Besides the food just plain out being bad the older/bigger man that was setting at the front bringing people in and telling them where to sit had an attitude problem from the jump as soon as we got there. Bad food and horrible customer service, it's a no for me. Save your time and money and find another spot to eat.

Crystal Campbell: I'm sad to say we were disappointed with our dinner as a whole, maybe they were just having an off night but our experience was not good. To begin with when our bread was delivered you could tell by the taste, chew, and smell that it was not fresh. However, to be completely honest these were the first two baskets our party of 12 were served, after having to ask for additional bread the next two baskets came out warm and fresh. The next issues was with the Lobster bisque. Three members of our group ordered this and none of the three bowls had a single piece of Lobster in them and what was served was very runny and lacking in flavor. One of the members of our group ordered the stuffed mushroom, and described the taste as medicine like and could not eat what was served. Three of the members of our group had sweet tea with their meal and each one agreed it was good but none of them was ever offered a refill. The pasta dishes and salads that were served were good, not amazing, and the portions did not equal up to the cost. All in all not a very good experience for our group, but again I do understand this could have been an off night for the restaurant.

Loronica hartsfield: Nice dating atmosphere. The food was good, not great! But worth what was charged. We only had 5 people and they put in the tip for us. Not sure if it was because we were the only blacks in there or not. But the service was definitely sup par, and they have a bar but no bartender!Nice spot, but not friendly vibes to us! I wouldn't recommend anybody my race to!

Tarek: We had dinner for a party of 18 people (two separate long tables). The food was good. We got the one with pink sauce. The atmosphere is a little dark lit.The service was not the best, we didn’t get any bread for the tables until the end and they only have one basket.

Justin Kashmer: My experience was terrible. The worse service ever. Took my wife out dinner food came out. My steak was over cooked big time. They didn't have steak knifes. I tried cutting my steak with a butter knife. I sent it back and ordered. Pasta, and it took 25 min for the pasta. My wife was done eating by then. And we ordered a $75 bottle of champagne and our sever spilt some of the bottle on the floor. I will never go there again. And my wife and I were going to have our wedding ceremony there, but not anymore. The beat thing about our dinner was the bottle of champagne from Italy.

Good food, plenty of food at a fair price and a warm atmosphere.

Patrick Stylski: Took 3 days to get a reservation but was not what we expected. Our group of 4 tried to order pizza as an appetizer but was not allowed bc we “had to order everything all at once” and ordered bread instead. Waiting for an hour and 20 min until 2 dishes that weren't ours came out first. We didn't get plates to share pizza, bread never came and service was bad. Main entrees werent good either. Too many excuses with staff instead of being honest and real.

Dynamite: My wife and I double dated here tonight with some friends. The service started out great, our waiter was super friendly and very helpful.My wife ordered the Chicken Parm and was happy with her meal. I ordered the whole fish, and while it was delicious to start, I quickly realized it was not fully cooked . Upon making my way down the backbone I found the meat to still be translucent and pink. (minus 1 star for serving raw fish)The fish is red grouper, which I wouldn't normally eat sashimi style. I mentioned it to a member of staff who had it cooked a little longer. The flavor of the fish was very good, and once it was brought back, I didn't hesitate to finish it.At the beginning of the entrees we had asked for another order of Focaccia bread (because the 1st was very good), but unfortunately it never came. Our friend also asked for a ginger ale, which also never came. (Minus 2nd star)For dessert we had the tiramisu which was absolutely perfect.All in all, the experience was ok. For the prices and the expectation, I would have to say it left alot to be desired. I would go back, but it would not be a must have.

I need to taste it again! But I am also curious about the other plates in the menu.

Kevin MacDonald: Want to be fair with this review and highlight why 1 star.Ordered 1 Pizza, a large salad, and lasagna. Total bill was $68. Got the order home to find the $27 pizza was not what we ordered, the $12 Cesar salad was made with the yellow parts of old iceberg lettuce( supposed to be romaine), no parmesan cheese, and Italian dressing versus Caesar dressing, and a $20 lasagna that was the size of a deck of cards and looked like leftovers from someone else’s meal.Contacted Teresa’s and tried to explain the situation but was told to contact the company that processes their online orders “Slice” . Turns out they contact Teresa’s who was not willing to take responsibility for their mistake and refund our order. Called back and offered to bring the food back so they could make it right, but apparently that was not an option but they did eventually give a $7 refund for not getting the pizza right. They are a local establishment and was really hopeful for a good experience but unfortunately that was not the case. Cannot recommend Teresa’s, especially given all the other great options in Cary for really good, reasonably priced Italian food.

Felipe Hernandez: La comida y el servicio son magníficos

Spade Ace: It should not take 2 hours to serve one simple pizza if there is only another table. Might be the coldest restaurant in Cary.

Matthew Minard: Don't order thru a gig app it will take forever and all the drivers know to stay away from this place. Sure it's mom and pop, but understand that they do not care about timing or making your delivery order.They shouldn't even be using app delivery systems they aren't capable of getting the food out in a timely manner.

Maryellen Collamore: Wonderful and delicious food! Made my kids so comfortable as well (5 and 2.5). Highly recommend!!

Jeff Basham: We've been going to Teresa's for a few years now. Every time the food is great! She makes the most incredible red sauce. We always get an extra bowl for the table. Last night, we took my Dad for his 86th birthday. They turned off the lights and brought him his dessert with a candle. The whole restaurant sang happy birthday! We genuinely love Teresa and her restaurant!

Robert Bernstein: Food is good! Portions are small. Still looking for an Italian restaurant !!!!

Diane Haithcock: My initial review is below and had given 5 stars. I wanted to update because portions have been cut in half. Small salad means 4 bites now. And the quality has already changed. Caesar salad didn’t have anchovies like advertised or as it originally did when we first started coming here. First visit impressions: There are two truly Italian women cooking the food. We loved the food we ordered! It was amazing and so tasteful. The Caesar salad had anchovies, which is hard to find. This place will definitely be part of our normal rotation. I highly recommend this place for anyone in an Italian food mood.

Team Frankenvette: This place is absolutely amazing! Super friendly service. Phenomenal food. Definitely my new favorite place! Thank you to Teresa and her amazing staff!

Matt Beach: Excellent food and hospitality

Pat Berryman: We took out of town family here yesterday for lunch. What a wonderful, warm and generous welcome we experienced. We shared two large pizzas and a bottle of wine which were both wonderful. We will be back.

Ryan McGriff: Felt awkward dining as a party of one. Instead of being seated at a regular four top, one was broken down and a table kinda pulled off to the side to seat me. Not sure why this was the preferred option as there was ample seating at the time of my visit. Bread was plain; just basic white bread. And regular butter. No sort of Italian flavor going on. Would’ve been nice to at least have some seasoned olive oil to dip it in. No side salad with the meal, which just kind of feels like a staple of an Italian restaurant that was completely missing. Chicken parm was good, but the sauce was very watery; did not have adequate cling to the pasta. Pains me to say it, but Olive Garden is better…

Eileen Littel: We frequently go to a Enrigos for dinner so I decided to have my Dad‘s 90th birthday party. It could not have been better… The food was excellent. The service was first class, friendly and very attentive. We were 25 people and we felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant, and I cannot say enough about the owners and their staff. Thank you for making this very special day a wonderful memory for all of us.Dietary restrictions: Food allergies were attended to

Myra Greene: Picked up Bolognese and Chicken Picatta to take to the Symphony last night and both dishes were a major disappointment. There was as barely any bolognese on the pasta and the flavor was bland. The Chicken Picatta was bland as well. Not sure what is going on. We have been there many times and the food has been, not great, but the atmosphere and service have made up for it.

Lance Kruse: Disorganized and Unprofessional. I am usually very understanding when it comes to interactions, but I was genuinely shocked by the staff.We first walked in to a very busy restaurant (to which we have never been) and were looking around unsure of where the host stand was only to found out it was behind us where the host was just standing there watching us look around. We were clearly unsure of where to go and she and never said hello or asked if we needed anything. This actually resulted in another couple coming in after us and putting their name down first because she just watched us... weird, right? She then said it would be a 30-45 minute wait for a party of 4, which we felt was reasonable, and gave our name and number.We decided to grab a drink at one of the bars at Waverly place and waited about 30 minutes to call to check in on the status. The person who answered sounded very annoyed that I was calling to check and she acted like she couldn't find our reservation even though I watched the host write it down myself. Then, she said "It will be another hour", which I found frustrating as it had already been 30 minutes and was being told it would now be twice as long as originally stated. I sought to clarify this and asked if there was a reason for the long delay (sometimes accidents happen or people call off and we understand that). To which she said "I don't know, it's based on when people decide to leave". Obviously. So, I said okay and to let us know when the table is ready.The other people we were with decided not to wait, so we went to another restaurant. About 15 minutes after I was told "another hour", the host calls back saying our table is ready. I asked for a moment to check with the party if we wanted to go back to the restaurant and they decided not to given the poor service they have provided that they would be unlikely to hold the table for us to drive back. I then told them "Actually, we have decided to go to another restaurant since you said it would be - " and she hung up. The host hung up on me. I literally cannot remember the last time someone hung up on me - maybe, middle school?I cannot state how shocked we were. One of the people in our party has been a loyal patron for years and we were treating him to his birthday. After this, even he said he won't be going back. The service here is utterly ridiculous. I understand things are busy and hectic, but apologizing for misjudging the wait time by twice as much would go a long way. Also, not hanging up on customers (which feels like shouldn't have to be stated) is also a good starting point. If she had just explained they were busier than expected (or really anything) and apologize for the longer wait, I wouldn't be upset. Also, when I said we went somewhere else, a simple "I understand, we are sorry for the long wait, we hope to see you another time" would result in us maybe trying again. But don't not accept reservations and then get an attitude when you can't do your job of estimating wait times and showing basic (even faux) courtesy when interacting with customers.With so many other great places with great service (e.g., Farina Neighborhood Italian) and many places that take reservations, don't bother with Enrigos. Unless you are in middle school, then you should give them a call and see how it goes.

Shawn Dunning: The bruschetta had a lot tomatoes and no cheese but was fine. I liked the ability to buy individual pieces. The chicken piccata was amazing, hence the 5 stars. The staff were very friendly and provided great service!

Miranda Liu: This rating would be five stars, but the atmosphere was pretty terrible. We were seated in a sunroom area. The floors were really dirty, the tables were all mismatched and falling apart, one of the tables they put together for our party the finish was coming off leaving rough particle board that was scratching up our arms. We had to ask for a table cloth 3 times to cover the table up.Service was acceptable for the most part. The host spent an extremely long time trying to seat the table ahead of us and it seems like they were short staffed. There was also one waiter that was extremely loud and was serving several of the tables around us. We would have to stop our conversation whenever they came into the room because we could not hear each other.Now for the good- The food was so delicious! We weren't sure what to expect based on the atmosphere but were pleasantly surprised. I hope this restaurant is able to improve the cleanliness and atmosphere as that would make it 5 stars easily!

Sachin Verma: The great sandwich ever I had and off course the desert, I loved it. They also have the pretty nice cakes with the reasonable price. Definitely I would recommend to go and try the variety of sandwiches they have. Also, the staff is friendly and they provide great services. Thank you for being out there to serve the delicious food.

G V Debnam: My 1st time here. I was with a friend for lunch. I got the chicken sandwich ( it had a fancier name) with fries. The chicken breast was luke warm, but the bun was soft. Just the typical krinkle fries. The waiter was non-chalant and not very friendliest. The one plus is that the restaurant was not too busy which meant we were in and out in decent time. Nothing makes me want to go back. The host who welcomes and seats you was pleasant enough.

Tricia K.: The food is usually good, but the kitchen cannot get a large party served at the same time. We had 14 people and our food was served in shifts 20-30 minutes apart. When the last shift came one person was still without food. We all had to eat at different times. This is the second time this has happened with a larger group at Bocci. It’s unfortunate that they can’t figure out how to serve a larger party. It was a disappointing Mother’s Day meal to say the least. Probably won’t be coming back.

Andrea Wilson: Tried this place sitting at the bar for lunch. My husband had the meatball ciabatta and he really liked it, but the ceasar side salad was served on the same plate and was wilted. After pointing this out a new plate of salad was quickly brought out and it was great. I tried the linguine dish Monte Mare and liked it a lot. The pasta was al dente with just the right amount of yummy sausage, shrimp and sauce.The ambiance was nice and it only came to $ 37 plus tip. This included a craft beer and a sparkling San Pellegrino.

Sean P.: The best sauce and pizza dough .The smell when walking in , I knew I was in for a treat .The crust was surpurb, the toppings were quality. No greese from pepperoni .The pizza 🍕 toppings were sparsely .Looking forwards to my next visit when I'm in town

aaron live: We were looking for a place to make us a large order of Bruschetta for a party that we were going to. My wife asked if they could help us out because they don't have it on their menu. They were willing to help us out and it was delicious. Even our Italian imigrant family members enjoyed it. Thanks for saving us on this one.

Tracey Chaffee: Based on the recent reviews, I should have known better than to take a chance on ordering from Bocci. It's been a long time since we have been here and the recent reviews are correct. Our food was lackluster. The calamari was overcooked and like chewing a price of rubber. The appetizer meatballs were small (3 total and 1.5" in size) with very little cheese. Disappointed in many ways.

Rachel Smith: The service was good. Attentive staff and speedy. Giving this 3 stars because the food was not good. We picked up pasta one night during COVID and it was just okay. We recently dined in to give it another chance and the food was lackluster. Spaghetti was chewy and the sauce was watery. It wasn’t exactly bad food, but for the price, really disappointing.

Annette Colton: Always loved the place but last night my son & I were disappointed & will not return. Penne with sausage did not have even a thimble of sausage in it & was all in a orange sauce. Have always recommended it to others but will not ever again. Also, his lasagna did not have a drop of meat in it. Expensive meal for a plate of noodles.

Sarah Smith: The service was beyond amazing. The environment was relaxing.But the reality is this experience was not the best. The table was broken and the seats uncomfortable. I was expecting decent pizza and pasta. It just didn’t live up to what other reviews say. I felt like I was eating watered down milk with the fettuccini and the pizza was cardboard texture. It may be for some, just not myself and my family.

Patriot Red: This was an incredibly disappointing experience. Server was friendly so we at least have that. 2 of us cannot have gluten it’s not because of choice it is because we just can’t. The gluten free pasta came out as regular pasta. We had to wait on them to be remade. On top of that each order was wrong. None of us liked the food it was not like any Italian we had ever had. The bonus is I ended up with the worst food poisoning

Mary Rogers: Nice chill atmosphere. Ordered magherita pizza pretty tasty. Peach Bellini was frozen wasn’t expecting that but it was good.

Christopher Heath: Place was attacked by a date that I have had she wanted to go there so that’s why I took her honestly I was not given the wow factor I got the lamb chops and I expected them to be a lot bigger. They were very very small I could’ve ate two helpings on a $60 meal that is not what I was looking for so overall, it was very good. Oh, I will try again, but at the same time it needs to be said that when you’re spending $200 for a meal just they should have the wow factor out there. But at the same time it made her happy by date was happy so that’s a really good taste in my mouth I just needed more that’s all the lamb chops were very good you don’t get that buy those everywhere so Quetion point I do recommend a place very highly.

Nisha Minaj: Mother's Day DinnerMade reservations online thinking it would be packed, but it was not, instantly seated. The restaurant looks nice for them not to be super busy. I think the busses staff could have paid more attention to detail. Other than that, the inside was pretty nice with the decor and an open kitchen.The server was friendly but busy upon her arrival. My guest and I knew exactly what we wanted to start with. Our drinks from the bar came first and bread. We had to wait a little while for the water, but it did come. The drinks were okay, I had the Sangria. Let's just say I didn't finish it.Calamari was pretty good, extremely crunchy, though. I think it was the sauce that made it good. Lemon aioli and the homemade marinara were really good. Caesar salad was good as well. My guest had the chopped salad, which was pretty big for a side.For my main course, I had the Pasta Brio, I was tossing between that and the Lasagna, and my guest had the Chicken Malanese. I was not a fan of the pasta brio. It lacked sauce, although there was a little at the bottom of the plate. It also lacked flavor. With the extra sauce and parmesan, it still wasn't right. Didn't like the noodles they were on the well-done side instead of AL dente. The same goes for the chicken malanese it just lacked flavor. I wanted to get like a wine parmesan type of flavor for that but didn't get it. It was just sauce plain sauce, but the marinara that was around the rim now was amazing. I'm not a fan of spaghetti noodles, which I know came with the meal, but they were well done as well.We decided to pass on desert.

Josef Pauli: Family outing celebrating my middle daughter's 30th bday. Great waiter, very good food, deliciosus deserts. My favorite item was the truffle toast appetizer. Everyone had something different and all was great. It was a little loud from a background noise standpoint; made concersation a littke difficult sometimes.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

marilyn masaitis: It is rare these days to see tablecloths used at restaurants. This alone sets Brio apart. The service is prompt & professional. The presentation of the food is eye appealing and the taste is flavorful. Brio is a clean and well appointed restaurant. This was my second visit to a Brio (a different location) and I can say that there is consistency restaurant location to location. I will definitely eat at a Brio again. The Chicken Limone was the main dish I chose and it was delicious.My husband had the Salmon Frescawhich he enjoyed as well.

Zain: Wasted $160, I could have got better service at Waffle House. One person in our parties dish came out over cooked, the replacement meal came out 30 minutes later after everyone else in the party was done. Asked the waitress to box the food because everyone was over it, she had the biggest attitude. Also, it’s not sanitary putting your hands in your shirt fixing your bra in front of your guest.

Ronald Braxton: Upon entry we were not greeted by a host. The hosts attention was preoccupied by a large party of 6+ individuals. The host chose to neglect his job of welcoming new customers into the restaurant in order to satisfy a single groups needs. This already left a negative inpression on our group. After waiting several minutes we had to motion one of the standing staff to assist our group to a table. His body language was unwelcoming and upon seating the overall atmosphere of the restaurant and staff was off. It appeared as if they were under staffed, yet did not balance out the staff to the best of their abilities. Barely prioritized speed and efficiency to meet customer standards in a timely manner. We weren't even given bread as a starter to go along with the water. We placed an appetizer order for calamari and it took about 15+ minutes for it arrive. Upon arrival it was over fried and cold. Severely disappointed.

Tanisha DePina: Really cute small place. Been looking forward to eating here last time I came by they had a large party and were at capacity. I put my name on the list not expecting any miracles on a busy night. The hostess said it would be half hour to an hour to be called but she called an hour and fifteen minutes so found another place to have dinner. Came in with 1 other person on a Wednesday booked a res at 6ish for 8:30 online it says they close at 9. Called to let foh know I would be a few minutes late and was called back to be informed that the kitchen would be closing at 8:45. I personally would not have made a res if I had known that I came to experience the restaurant because it has great reviews and a smaller menu which means attention to detail. Arrived at 8:39 and was greeted the server was nice. Ordered a glass of white wine and 3 apps Focaccia was delicious tapenade was light and flavorful but not salty. The burrata dish was nice the buratta itself was not creamy which was slightly disappointing but the dish was summery and light the beets and tomatoes were lovely. The calamari was tender but couldn’t eat it because it had no seasoning at all. For mains we ordered gnocchi (risotto was out), ravioli, cavatelli. Cav was tasty, Rav needed salt, Gnocchi was delicious. At the end we were presented with the check before being asked if we wanted dessert before the kitchen had started closing down after our entrees but kitchen was nice enough to give me one to go.

adwoa t-koduah: My friend and I came here to try the restaurant before bringing someone for their birthday. Needless to say we will absolutely be back. If you do come definitely get the braised short rib with the gnocchi, it was phenomenal. The head chef also comes out to check in on how the guests like the food, which is a wonderful personal touch.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Tiramisu, Short Ribs and Gnocchi …More

Christina H: Dined last night and had an amazing meal. Eggplant Parm, risotto, and raspberry sorbetto were amazing, but every single thing was excellent. We love this place and wish we could eat here more often. The review below is from Christmas, but it's all still true, so I am leaving it.----We had a fabulous meal here for 8 people. Everything was on point (service and food), with the Arancini, the Foccacia, the Tagliatelle Bolognese, the Melanzane Parmesan, and the Gnocchi Al Forno being special standouts. We don't usually order ice cream for dessert at restaurants, but my husband had the salted caramel gelato, and the texture and taste were wonderful. It's a small place, so make a reservation. Some of the food was sold out when we arrived at 7:30, so next time we may try an earlier time. But we did like the 7:30 time slot because it got easier to hear everyone in our party as the hour got later. There is no kid menu, which I find refreshing. Be aware there is also nowhere in the restaurant to wait for a table, so no need to arrive early for your reservation. This restaurant is obviously a labor of love, and we wish them much success.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options for those who eat dairy.Parking: It's a strip mall...no shortage of parking.

Big Country: The gnocchi was perfecto, the seafood pasta special was divine! Many vegetarian options make it easy. The pasta is always al dente and the food is always flavorful

Charles E. Merritt: Soooo…this was a short notice booking as we wanted to get something before a concert at PNC Arena and this was convenient and close and Resy said “4.8!” So hopes were high! We love Italian and always looking for good Italian and this seemed cozy and looked authentic. Starters were fine, good Focaccia (but it was not free for the table had to order) well baked, nice oily coating and a salad which was much more in the Caesar mode than green salad which wasn’t super clear. But tasty. We ordered a gnocchi (my wife does not eat meat) and a bolognese for me. They were…interesting. Of the two the gnocchi was better but the sauce was quite herbaceous and the gnocchi was too light - like a potato puff. They should have some texture and these went well away from what can happen - overdone and tough. Different. The bolognese was just bad and I did not finish it. It had a quite odd flavor, a spice I’ve never tasted in bolognese and not in a good way, like nutmeg or one of the “wintery” spices. Just really odd. And not good for me at least. We are picky I admit but this was just off. For more “on point” Italian go to Gocciolina in Durham. Way better! Atmosphere was fine in a sort of Neo-Pottery Barn fashion. Service was prompt and attentive so good there. Just can’t recommend this based on our tastes and experience.

melissa allen: Quaint restaurant with delicious food- excellent, excellent service!!!

Jason Katsaros: Best Italian food in the area, no contest. The price may be higher than some other places but La Grassa more than deserves it with the quality and quantity of the food and service that was provided. Will be coming back again soon.

Gregory Ferguson: Awesome food, awesome service. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Bri B: Wow....absolutely amazing food & service. Everything is homemade. Highly recommend the focaccia and canoli!

Jose L. Nazario: Excellent food and service!!! We really loved the short ribs gnocchi. Bobby the chef came out and had a chat with us. Superb experience and highly recommended, wow!!!
