13 Hottest Restaurants in the Triangle, June 2024

"The newest rooftop dining scene to grace downtown Raleigh, La Terrazza, serves sophisticated Italian and continental cuisine to pair with the views. There’s a Galician-style grilled octopus appetizer, a slew of fresh pastas (try the porro ravioli with caramelized leeks, ricotta, and a parmesan fonduta), and main courses like an oven-roasted rack of lamb and beef Rossini, served with mascarpone potato puree and a truffle Madeira sauce. A selection of craft pizzas offers some slightly more casual bites, and there is a full bar to help toast the downtown skyline." - Matt Lardie
