(or north raleigh or nearby) I'm looking for something halfway decent. I usually eat at cheap places cuz I'm a broke mofo, but I want to go someplace nice for a change.

What's out there? (not looking for pizza or buffets or any of that)

I was wondering when we would get yet another restaurant thread in the lounge (we haven't made our 5 a week quota yet).

there's a fairly new nice italian restaurant in the corner of the Wakefield Kroger shopping center... it's actually quality italian, not makeshift americanized stuff like Miltons. They have 2 sections to their restaurant... a fancy side & a not so fancy, more family oriented side. I don't remember exactly, but I know that plates there are over $10/person (I think they were ~$14-$18). Best damn chicken marsala I have ever eaten.

Other than that, I can't think of anything super special that is resonably priced & near N. Raleigh.

^that restaurant is called Giannis and Gaitanos. They were the owners of Cinellis, but this place is much better. My dad goes there all of the time and when I go, we normally sit on Giannis side, which is the fine dining.

2101 Global Cuisine...on South Main Street. Reservations only. Make sure to have the Berries Romanoff for dessert. The meal will be $50-$80 a couple...without alcohol.
