Never fails to impress us, or our food/wine/beer connoisseur guests with us last night. Whether living 5 miles or 50 miles away (like us) , a gem you won't regret. Amberjack was sublime, with the perfectly matched New Zealand Ponga wine. Appetizers of Calamari, roasted romaine blew us away, as well as carrot cake. We are there a few times a year, have never not raved over their other many choices

About the restaurant
Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, Cafe Tiramisu offers a menu full of authentic Northern Italian cuisine. The family-owned and operated restaurant is decorated sparingly and the dining room is a cozy, relaxing environment. Cafe Tiramisu has a full bar but specializes in wine with an extensive wine selection both by the glass and by the bottle.



Try the ravioli or the shrimp dip to start out your meal at Cafe Tiramisu. Choose from Italian classics like the lasagna or the marsala. The menu includes plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options as well. Choose one of the restaurant's sides for your entree like the fried eggplant or the sauteed spinach.

We had such an unforgettable night at Plus! The staff was absolutely amazing—so friendly and fun. The drinks were on point and the musicians? Beyond talented. We got to watch some badass moments, like a few ladies getting surprise lap dances from one of the pianists (iconic), and I even got to slow dance on stage with my husband to our wedding song for our anniversary. 🥹💃 It was such a sweet and wild mix of moments. There were birthday celebrations going on, and the staff really pulled out all the stops with fun theatrics and extra care for each group. You could tell they genuinely wanted everyone to have a great time. If I had to nitpick, the drums were a little loud compared to the pianos at times, and the floor was a bit sticky—but hey, it’s a bar/club. Comes with the territory. Can’t wait to come back! 🎹🎉

Trophy Brewing is hands down one of the best spots in Raleigh for pizza and beer. The pizza crust is perfectly crisp, the toppings are fresh, and their combos are seriously creative (try the Most Loyal if you’re feeling bold). Their beer selection is just as strong; from hoppy IPAs to smooth stouts, everything tastes crafted and on point. The vibe is chill, the staff is super friendly, and it’s a great spot for anything from date night to grabbing a casual bite with friends. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out. This place never disappoints.

Outstanding dinner as always! The grilled Caesar salad and unique croutons are the best anywhere. And the Korean beef served on salad is my constant. Our group also enjoyed the mussels, burrata pasta, and the ribeye special. And excellent service!
