We had a really nice time

by erimarie

The hubby and I wandered in on New Years Eve, it was a Monday, we had no reservation. The staff was nice from the front door to the table. Monday nights are 1/2 price bottle night and we scored some good deals. We had a half bottle of Moet White Star for $18. Come on, you can't get a crappy house sparkling wine for $9 a glass. It was a steal. Our waitress told us that she was new to table service and did a great job. While maybe lacking a bit of finesse that comes from being a career waiter ( hubby and I have been doing it for years ) she was so sweet and we had a great time. We did three courses and she just let us relax and enjoy ourselves...she wasn't pushy at all. I would go back anytime. I don't know why folks thought it was so noisy. It was packed when were there, and I didn't think it was that bad... I guess I have been to too many rock concerts. haha

• Pros: very nice staff, Mondays are 1/2 price wine night

Best eatery in town

by ToddtheBlog

I have lived in Chapel Hill for just over 10 years, and have dined at 411 at least twice that, 822 times.

It's the best place in town, period. Great pizza, salads, entrees, sometimes over sauced pasta dishes that can be adjusted when ordering, great service, great sunday brunch.

Excellent wine list, and good beer too.

• Pros: Great food, service, value.
• Cons: Bread/rolls are weak

is this place really in a college town??

Chicken Parm was awesome! breaded but not deep fried it taste fresh and light, cesear salad was also good, and the petite menu was very good if your looking to avoid HUGE portions and over eating pasta. the desert you definitely need to get the million dollar pie it was like a peanut butter fudge cheesecake, split it because its rich but you will be IN HEAVEN! wait wasnt bad with a reservation and the service was good. Be prepared to pay a pretty penny, but the food was worth what you pay.

• Pros: tasty food and awesome atmosphere, especially for a college town "nice" italian restaurant.
• Cons: No parking, very noisy and hard to hear
