    It was Valentine’s Day weekend on Saturday. We had a 6:15 reservation. The place was packed & we were told it may be a short wait. Happy surprise—It was a very short wait of just a few minutes. The server was prompt and advised of some non-dairy selections. Bread & dipping oil came right out. We ordered the stuffed portobello mushroom as an appetizer—served with tons of yummy marienera sauce. The wine was a nice pour. The grilled salmon with arugula & thinly sliced squashes was presented beautifully and tasted delicately delicious. My partner’s pasta with broccoli & sauce was plentiful and tasty. The meal was awesome. The service was attentive. As I mentioned, the place was very busy, so noise level was a bit high, but not so much that it restricted conversation. The staff were super nice and very busy moving food & clearing tables. Everything was A+. Will definitely come back to try more dishes.

    The menu selection is excellent. The salads are so fresh! The pasta dishes are generous and the sauces are light and very delicious. Excellent wine list. It was a very busy evening but they were well staffed. The staff is very friendly. This is one of our favorite Italian restaurants.

    Loved our Valentine’s dinner. Wished my pasta came out hotter, but really loved the meal. Highly recommend the fiocchi, rigatoni pollo, and mozarella fresca! Vibe was awesome, amazing service, such a classy, Raleigh staple.

    High quality dinner for two that consisted of an appetizer, couple glasses of wine, and two entrees, all under 80 bucks. Hard to beat!
