518 West Italian Cafe

This is my favorite Italian restaurant in Raleigh. I love the atmosphere and the food. The service is always good. I would be happy just eating a plate of the delicious focaccia they bring out before the meal. Salads are good, pasta is to die for and the specials are always a delight. Thumbs up!

518 West has a wonderful array of unique Italian fare including salads, pastas, and seafood. The lemon linguine is always delicious! The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic dinner or for a night out with the kids. We frequently take our four kids there to enjoy quality meal in an atmosphere that is kid-friendly with great prices!

This is a great Italian place, excellent service and good prices. The food is always outstanding and the decor is delightful. Its such a great place to go for a special occasion or any time. You will feel comfortable if you go in a prom dress, cocktail dress or jeans.

I love Italian food and 518 serves the absolute best in the Triangle. I always choose it when celebrating family members' birthdays. Its better for one-on-one dining with the one you love. It's located in beautiful downtown Raleigh and the atmosphere is upscale classy. However, the prices are reasonable.
