Located diagonally from the children's museum, Caffe Luna presents a simple yet elegant menu of dishes that changes daily. They are family friendly, have a wonderful outdoor setting, and the tables are properly spaced. We ate a well presented course. While most of the dishes involve pasta, I would hardly regard the restaurant as Italian with its varied menu. Slightly pricey but worth every morsel, Caffe Luna makes a nice stop for lunch while seeing the sights in downtown Raleigh. Recommended

Raleigh has several outlets for Ruby Tuesday, however, this location is the best in the chain. Whenever my wife and I think we want to go to a Ruby Tuesdays, we take the time to drive to this location. The salad bar is the freshest, the servers are the happiest, and we've never had a bad meal there. Everything is cooked to perfection. This location is highly recommended.

I love Italian food. I was raised just outside Chicago. This town was made for Italian (as is Boston and New York). The restaurants in Chicago are real Italian. Maggiano's represents a true slice of that old world flavor. From the moment you enter, you'll feel as if you stepped through time and waked into one of Chicago's best Italian restaurants. While slightly pricey, the whole restaurant exudes charm and elegance. The service is wonderful (better than any restaurant on the row), the food is excellent (truly authentic Italian), and I promise that you will feel as if you rubbed elbows with old gang back in Cicero before you leave. Highly recommended.
