About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
Il Falò celebrates the art of cooking with fire – with quality ingredients prepared skillfully and cooked to perfection over the open flame.

Our wood-fired oven and grill add a kiss of fire to artisan-quality meats, fresh seafood, vegetables sourced from our local partners, pizzas on house-made sourdough, and elements of our craft cocktails.

With an emphasis on the craft of cooking, ingredients are sourced thoughtfully, pastas and breads are made in-house, and a contemporary approach is applied to Italian tradition.

Enjoy our open dining room, stylish lounge and bar, and outdoor patio, centrally located in the Brier Creek area of Raleigh, North Carolina.

    Food was great! Salads - even half sizes - were very generous and tasty. Calimari had great flavor mix between spicy and sweet, and the complementary bread was some of the best I've had. We had two pizzas for 3 people and quantity was perfect. Even better than the food was the team. Our server was personable, attentive but not hovering. She made the evening even better!

    Salads delish and pizza very good. Unfortunately, our first wine by the glass selection went unfulfilled and then our second wine by the glass selection when unfulfilled. I don't think that has ever happened to me before (at least not 2 selections being unavailable). Finally, our third choice which was yummy, they had in stock.
    IL FALÒ WOOD FIRED KITCHENResponded on April 22, 2026
    Thank you Ann for your feedback. We do apologize a few of your selections were out. We definitely understand the importance's of a great glass of wine with some great food. We are currently updating our wine list which is probably what caused this. I can ensure you it wont happen again. We hope to see you again soon.

    Food overall was average. The server seemed like she wanted us out quickly. Took a dish without asking if we wanted the food packed. When we said we did and it never came back the server said they didn’t hear us. Who takes half dish without wrapping for take home without asking? Asked for pizza without pepper and it came with pepper.
    IL FALÒ WOOD FIRED KITCHENResponded on April 15, 2026
    Thank you Andrea for your feedback. I deeply apologize for the experience that you and your guest experienced. I have shared your feedback with our management team to avoid such situations in the future. I hope you will absolutely give us another try.

    I would say No. First I ordered a drink. It came wrong. Second I ordered a pizza. It came wrong. The second pizza was burnt on the bottom. The lights were too bright. They seemed to not care. I would try somewhere else.

FAQs

For a calmer experience, aim for weekday lunch or early weeknight dinners, guests often report smoother service and quicker pacing then. If you want the lively scene (cocktails, busy bar), Friday and Saturday evenings or holiday brunch events draw crowds. Reservations are recommended for weekend dinners and special brunches to avoid waits.

Yes, during busy weekend dinners, holiday brunches and special events there can be waits even with reservations. Guests often report long waits on popular nights; to avoid delays, reserve in advance and arrive on time, or consider the bar for quicker seating. The restaurant sometimes runs special events where separate ticketing or event seating applies.

Busiest: Friday–Saturday evenings and holiday brunches (Easter, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving) or special event nights are peak times and can be noisy. Quietest: weekday lunches and early weeknight dinners tend to be calmer with faster service. If you prefer a quieter meal, book a weekday or early dinner slot.

Yes, IL FALÒ has an outdoor patio where guests can dine. Several guests mention enjoying outdoor seating when weather permits; if you prefer patio seating, request it when you make your reservation.

Casual dress, the restaurant lists a casual dress code, matching the relaxed yet polished vibe guests describe. You’ll see a mix of hotel guests, families and diners dressed smart‑casual.

Yes, families dine here and guests report birthdays and family meals with children being common. The menu has shareable pizzas and pastas that appeal to younger eaters. There isn’t a dedicated kids’ menu noted, so consider ordering smaller shared plates or a pizza, and aim for an earlier seating if you want a quieter family meal.

Weekdays (Tuesday–Thursday) and weekday lunch are excellent choices for a smoother, less noisy experience and reliable service. If you want the lively atmosphere and bar scene, Friday or Saturday evenings are best, just expect more crowds and consider booking ahead.

Yes, IL FALÒ runs holiday events (Easter brunch, Mother’s Day brunch, Thanksgiving and special seasonal brunches) though these may be held in hotel event spaces with different menus and ticketing. Regular dining hours for specific holidays can vary, so call ahead or check the hotel’s event listings before planning a holiday visit.

Portions are generally generous for mains and pizzas, with many guests taking home leftovers. Pizzas are large and shareable, and entrees like baked rigatoni or chicken parm supply a hearty serving. Some guests mention smaller salad portions or occasional inconsistencies with plating, so if you’re sharing starters and mains, you’ll likely have enough, ordered individually you should find most entrees satisfying.

Direct answer: IL FALÒ has set hours for all day parts. Breakfast daily 6:30–10:30 AM; Brunch Sat–Sun 11:00 AM–1:45 PM; Bar hours Mon–Fri 11:00 AM–1:45 PM; Dinner Mon–Thu and Sun 5:00–9:45 PM, Fri–Sat 5:00–10:45 PM. If you’re planning a special event or holiday meal, call ahead, hours or event locations may vary.

Warm, modern and lively, IL FALÒ blends an open, bright dining room with a busy bar and open kitchen. Many guests enjoy the stylish décor and bustling energy; others note the room can get noisy during peak times or large events. Overall it feels contemporary casual and well‑suited to celebrations, date nights, and social dinners.

Yes, families dine here regularly and guests report accommodating seating options like booths and larger tables. The restaurant sits in a hotel with convenient parking and an open dining room and patio; that makes it an easy option for family meals. Specific accessibility features (ramps, accessible restrooms) aren’t listed online, so call the restaurant ahead if you need wheelchair access or specialized accommodations.

Yes, you can and should call ahead to request seating preferences, dietary accommodations (gluten‑free pasta, allergy notes) or celebration details. Guests frequently mention staff helping with birthdays and special events, though there are occasional service mix‑ups on busy days, so a phone call or note on your reservation is wise to confirm arrangements in advance.

Yes, IL FALÒ is a solid choice for date night. Guests frequently praise the modern, stylish atmosphere, wood-fired pizzas, handcrafted cocktails and attentive servers, which make it great for a relaxed yet slightly upscale evening. Note that the dining room can get lively and sometimes noisy on busy weekend nights; for a quieter experience try an early dinner, the lounge/bar, or ask for a corner table when you book.
