We had the most delightful evening celebrating my husband's birthday. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. Our waiter Dolph gave us multiple recommendations that did not disappoint.
The zucchini chips and meatballs were my favorite appetizers, but they were all tasty.
We all had different main courses, and everyone enjoyed their dishes.
We had the limoncello cake and the cheesecake for dessert. That cheesecake was phenomenal. Can't wait for another visit to Raleigh the come back for another great meal!
Visited during Restaurant Week and overall had a good experience. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the service was friendly and attentive.
The only downside was our seating. We were seated on the upper floor, and it was uncomfortably warm—it felt like the A/C wasn’t working very well. It made the meal a little less enjoyable, especially during the summer.
Other than that, the experience was great, and I’d definitely come back. Hopefully next time the dining area will be cooler.

Exceptional Girls' Night at Vidrio
If you are looking for a dining experience that hits every high note, Vidrio is the place to be. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was truly second to none.
The first thing you notice is the stunning decor. The aesthetic is vibrant and sophisticated, creating an atmosphere that feels both upscale and incredibly welcoming. Even the logistical side of things was stress-free. Parking was a breeze, which is always a plus.
The menu is impressively well-curated, offering a fantastic variety that caters to different tastes. Every drink and dish that hit the table was excellent. It’s clear that a lot of thought goes into the quality and consistency of their offerings.
What truly elevated our evening was the service. Nick was absolutely amazing! He was extremely attentive and professional. His level of care made the night feel even more special; in fact, we’ve already decided that for our next visit, we’ll be calling ahead to ensure he’s working so we can sit in his section!
A huge shout-out to Cara as well for being so kind and taking photos for us to capture the memories.
Between the incredible vibes, the delicious food, and the top-tier service, Vidrio is a gem. Whether it’s a celebration or just a night out with friends, this spot delivers on every level.

I booked a table here for a wig exchange birthday party. From the very first conversation about what I wanted and needed the staff were so accommodating and kind and seemed genuinely excited to have myself and my friends there. They made great recommendations for timing and where we should sit. When we arrived for the party the hostess was wonderful and got us setup at our space. Then we met our server Nick who is absolutely the most charming and kind server I have ever had. He made our night and my friend feel so special and taken care of for her birthday. We have some picky eaters in our group and the way he handled their requests could be a masterclass in hospitality. The food was so good! Even for the picky eaters. We loved everything! Nick made great cocktail and food recommendations and kept the energy and the dinner moving along at a perfect pace. Thank you Vidrio and a HUGE thank you to Nick for taking such great care of us. If you’re planning a special event or just a great dinner with great cocktails 10/10 recommend Vidrio. And I’m sure they have other amazing servers but I would also ask for Nick!
