Il Falò is a brand-new restaurant in North Carolina where you can experience the exciting art of cooking with fire. The staff at this upscale eatery offers delectable traditional Italian cuisine with a twist. The magic potion that brings these entrees to life is the wood-fired oven and grill bringing a unique taste to the high-quality, locally sourced meats, fresh seafood and vegetables, and of course the pizzas on house-made sourdough. Even elements of the artistic cocktails get a touch of the heat. Let’s take a look at this new restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina.

While the food is traditional Italian, you'll find the modern, 5,000-square-foot dining room gorgeous inside the recently opened Westin Raleigh-Durham Airport.
