Price: Moderate
• Southern • Raleigh
Booked 25 times today
Mandolin is a breath of fresh air to the Raleigh dining scene, combining a casual atmosphere with fresh, contemporary, Southern fare. Mandolin uses the highest quality local ingredients to create seasonal menus that resonate with foodies and casual diners, alike. We share our food in a relaxed, cozy atmosphere that replaces the stuffiness of fine-dining with Southern charm. The menu and ambiance reflect the character of Raleigh itself- a blend of rustic and refined, contemporary and traditional, rural and metropolitan. Mandolin, like the City of Oaks, is Southern at its roots, but draws influences from around the world. We love our new home in Hayes Barton, just a stone's throw from Five Points, on the corner of Oberlin and Fairview.

    The seating felt a bit cramped especially for us as a table for 2 to be sat between the glass wall to the outside and a table of 4 which made us feel as if we were sharing a table with the men sitting next to us. Our server was very pleasant, engaging and attentive. The service was quick too. We had the aranchini which was delicate and delicious and a very generous portion. We shared the wild boar dish which was a ravioli stuffed with with ground wild boar and a robust flavorful sauce with spices .. absolutely delicious!! And again, we felt The portion was generous and more than enough for the 2 of us! We would score this a 9… But it wasn’t served really hot which would have made it a 10!! We were stuffed and although we shared the main course meal to leave room for dessert, we couldn’t fit it in so we had to take the tiramisu to go! Ate it later at the hotel and it was very good!!
