- AAmyRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •3 reviews5.0Dined on 9 Feb 2025I reserved a table at Anthony's La Piazza to celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday. It has a lovely, modern decor, and it wasn't crowded on that Sunday evening. The food was really tasty. We started with fried mozzarella and stuffed mushrooms. Our entrees were exceptional. The filet mignon melted in your mouth, and the Bolognese so very good. The cocktails were excellent as well, especially the espresso martini. I can't recommend the staff highly enough. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and personable. The hostess, our waitress, and the food runner were wonderful. They went above and beyond ensuring that our celebration was outstanding. The sparkler in the chocolate cupcake at the end was chef's kiss and the perfect ending to our night. We will definitely be back!More infoAnthony's La Piazza Prime - Downtown RaleighPrice: Moderate• Italian• Raleigh•4.5
