- EemilyRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review5.0Dined on Jun 20, 2025Bombolo is one of the most excellent restauarants in Chapel Hill and Durham; we are repeat customers dining in CH/Durham for 30 years, originally from New Orleans. We never miss getting cocktails and mocktails at our Bombolo table and we order 1-2 salads bc the greens seem to be fresh from a mysterious garden. Bombolo designs and serves some of the finest and most creative pasta, seafood (we always get something with lobster and fish) and bread dishes among a very high quality playing field of chefs, cooks and restauranteurs including our other favorites: the also uber-original amazing Vimala's CurryBlossom, Lantern, La Sienna, the Washington Duke Inn, the Durham Hotel, Thai Cafe, Local Family Owned Durham/University Drive Twisted Noodle and the Amazing Hotel 21-C. We are amazed by our Incredibly Impressive Restaurants; bc this is some of the most difficult work and service! This special night at Bombolo was our 6th special occasion/date night over the last few years.More infoBomboloPrice: Expensive• Italian• Chapel Hill•4.6
- LLesterVIPRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •9 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 18, 2025A simply amazing "beverage dinner" - all very creative, both the eating and drinking. Perhaps, one of the finest "wine dinners" we have ever attended. Price/value was supersonic. Only slight issue was how long it took.More infoJujubePrice: Expensive• Contemporary Asian• Chapel Hill•4.8
