5 Best Restaurants in Durham, North Carolina You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them
Durham, North Carolina — a city where tobacco warehouses stand shoulder to shoulder with glassy new towers, where the laughter of Duke students mingles with the wisdom of old-timers, where every street corner pulses with the energy of makers, dreamers, and families who’ve called this place home for generations. Here, the city’s soul is stitched together by the legacy of Black Wall Street, the rhythm of jazz and gospel, and the promise of new beginnings. It’s a place where barbecue smoke drifts through neighborhoods, where the scent of biscuits and collards mingles with the spice of new arrivals, and where every meal is a gathering — a celebration of memory and hope, of resilience and reinvention.

Upscale Italian restaurant chain expands into Raleigh at Crabtree mall location
A major restaurant group is expanding in the Triangle as the mall makeover continues at Crabtree Valley. The upscale Italian chain Maggiano’s will open a new location at Crabtree next year, taking over the former Brio space at the mall. Maggiano’s is usually connected with shopping malls, but there’s currently only one location in the Triangle — at Durham’s Streets at Southpoint mall. Crabtree Valley owner Macerich confirmed the addition of Maggiano’s in an email. “Maggiano’s Little Italy has built its name on classic Italian-American dining, memorable experiences and timeless flavors, and it is exactly the kind of brand that becomes part of the destination,” said Guy Mercurio, Macerich’s vice president and director of national restaurant leasing, in an email. “As Crabtree’s redevelopment continues, we’re focused on adding more entertainment and bringing dining, retail and entertainment together to create a destination guests want to return to,” he wrote. “Maggiano’s strengthens that mix alongside both established names and distinctive new concepts.” Brio closed last year, a move that surprised many in the Triangle and coincided with the brand filing for bankruptcy in August 2025.
