Il Falò celebrates the art of cooking with fire – with quality ingredients prepared skillfully and cooked to perfection over the open flame.

Our wood-fired oven and grill add a kiss of fire to artisan-quality meats, fresh seafood, vegetables sourced from our local partners, pizzas on house-made sourdough, and elements of our craft cocktails.

With an emphasis on the craft of cooking, ingredients are sourced thoughtfully, pastas and breads are made in-house, and a contemporary approach is applied to Italian tradition.

Enjoy our open dining room, stylish lounge and bar, and outdoor patio, centrally located in the Brier Creek area of Raleigh, North Carolina.

My Italian family is very picky about food meatballs...but they really hit it out of the park. It was honestly very enjoyable everything we ate

The restaurant was not busy, and so I was surprised that it took an hour for our meal to be delivered to our table after ordering. We were one of just a few tables that were occupied, other than one table that had a large party (~20 people), which I assume overwhelmed the kitchen at the same time. The food was good, I assume they were short-staffed in the kitchen.

Unfortunately didn’t know it ended at 1:00, so arrived at noon and barely had time to enjoy the buffet. Tickets weren’t inexpensive so this kind of bummed us out. Would do it again.

The food was great but they forgot my husbands omelet and my tea. For Sunday brunch maybe have your a team not slow walking b team. Good luck next week with brunch with Santa. Maybe this should be a buffet only restaurant

We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at IL FALÒ WOOD FIRED KITCHEN on Thanksgiving. We take your take your comments seriously and will use this as an opportunity to improve our service. The end of the event was advertised at 4pm, however, we had plenty of food and our team was more than capable of making sure your group had what it needed. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make amends. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Best, The Management Team
