"Restaurateur Giorgios Bakatsias’s Osteria Georgi arrived on the Chapel Hill dining scene with a splash in 2021, quickly becoming one of the Triangle’s must-have reservations. Chef Dan Jackson and his crew plate up dishes that span a range of regional Italian cuisines. The swordfish puttanesca comes with Sardinian-style couscous and roasted vegetables, while the bistecca is a New York strip steak served with white beans. All the pastas are made in house — the tagliatelle is served with a duck ragu while the bucatina all’amatriciana comes with pancetta, a pomodoro sauce, and Calabrian chilies. The bar stocks an extensive offering of Italian amari, while a carefully curated list of Italian wines and speciality cocktails round out the beverage offerings." - Matt Lardie
