Enrigo Italian Bistro - Cary

I received the entirely wrong pizza. Although it wasn't what I ordered, it was decent and had an authentic taste. However, the pasta was congealed, and the chicken lacked any flavor. The meatballs tasted like they were from a frozen section, and the bruschetta was soggy and unmemorable. I paid $60 for a complete disappointment, and I couldn't even bring myself to finish the pasta.

Kid-friendly: They have a kids' menu. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options available.

The food at this restaurant was just average, although the presentation of the dishes was impressive. The atmosphere leaves something to be desired; the restaurant is small and lacks decor, featuring a large storefront window that offers a view of the outside, but the interior is mostly uninspiring, with a shabby concrete floor and many wobbly, peeling tables. The tables adorned with tablecloths and centerpieces showcased in photos are not what you typically encounter. I had expected a more pleasant ambiance. They do have a couple of longer tables with tablecloths for larger groups, but that's about it. The service, however, was very good, and while the food was tasty, it felt a bit overpriced. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place as my first choice; it's a bit cramped and the atmosphere isn't very inviting.

Most miserable meal I have experienced in many years. we called to make reservations when they opened but said they could not make reservations for four, only parties of eight, but should be no problem seating us at 6:30. We arrived at 6:30 and long story short we received our meal two hours later, only to get over cooked chicken and well done broccoli. We sat in their enclosed area outside the main restaurant, which had no air-conditioning and no working fan. Beyond the uncomfortable environment, we had a rocking table that we could not get stabilized. We had a great waiter but could do little to offset the long wait, hot environment and overcooked food. For sure my last visit, hate paying for misery.

I'd heard good things and decided to take my wife there for our anniversary. We were beyond blown away from top to bottom. To start I had reached out to see if a reservation was necessary and while it wasn't, Jane made us one and had a table prepped for us and champagne brought to the table upon our arrival.The service and the food only got better from there. Everything was top notch. I prefer to go to restaurants for the entire experience and they delivered! Not just in taste or quality but all the way around. Being able to sit, enjoy wine, and take our time with our meal is unfortunately rare and missed these days but it was greatly appreciated and enjoyable. We'll be back repeatedly.
