   The ambience was pleasant and festive. We were seated immediately upon our arrival and greeted by our waitress. We received appetizer and drinks quickly but our meals took 25-30 minutes to arrive. When we were served dinner, the gnocchi and bolognese were delicious. The meatballs were non-descript and dry, little seasoning. The eggplant parmesan was salty and the pasta served with it was chewy. We will return but will likely not order staple Italian dishes.

   The food was good, (e.g., fried calamari was cooked perfect), the wine excellent (I had the quattro mani montepulciano). One thing to note on the food, I tried the spaghetti alla carbonara despite it not being made in the traditional way. It tasted good but the spaghetti was over cooked. We made reservations through open table. About 20 minutes before our reservation time we got a text stating our table was ready. I replied to indicate we were on our way, however, when we got to the resturant they were surprised we were there early and did not have a table ready for us. We waited about 10 minutes then they sat us down a few minutes early. Not sure if this was a Gravy issue or an Open table issue? Decided to just let it go…. Overall we had a good night would go back again, might do a few things differently.

   Gravy is one of our favorite Italian spots. We booked a reservation for 7:30 pm. We were celebrating my birthday. The food was yummy, as always. My issue is that it was COLD Saturday night. They sat us right by the door. We asked for another table. The hostess was rude about it and said there were no other tables. We noticed the other two-person parties coming in and were seated further back. Several did not have a reservation as I heard them if any tables were available. My husband and I ate with our coats on. Usually, we like to chat, have a few drinks, etc. We ate and left. Suggestion: If a person has a reservation, they should be comfortable. Also, if the weather is cold outside, maybe you shouldn't sit the tables up front or try to move them if possible. Disappointing birthday dinner. The only saving grace was good food!

   We were looking for a restaurant with traditional Italian cuisine and this place fit that perfectly. They had a multitude of different sauces (gravies) along with an extensive wine list. I had the salmon and my wife had the gnocchi. She made gnocchi with her Mon growing up and loved their dish. Our wait was very nice and on her game. Thank you for a nice dinner.

   The food was mediocre at best, nothing special. The price is appropriate for what you get. The restaurant was clean and the server was fine. The greeting at the door for reservations is cramped and leaves you standing half in and half out while you wait for the party in front of you to be seated. I probably will not go back. But maybe if I was younger I would based on price. I ate my food. It was fine, just nothing special.

   The service was horrible. We waited around 15 minutes before we were given water and greeted, and we ordered our food and appetizers immediately after. The appetizers arrived within a normal time frame, however it took over 50 minutes after our appetizers came for our food to come. Multiple other tables were seated, served their food, and left before we even received our dinner. We did not receive an apology from our waitress– the situation was not even acknowledged. It's a shame the service was so horrible, as the food was delicious. It used to be one of my favorite spots in Raleigh, but I will not be returning.

   Made 7:00 reservations but weren’t seated until 7:30. The waitress rarely checked on us. Took 30 minutes between ordering appetizers and entrées. No apologies for the long wait. This isn’t the first time we’ve experienced poor service here so probably won’t be coming back.
