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. The restaurant had been open for 15 years and left North Carolina without any Brio locations. Maggiano’s

This Down-Home Steakhouse In Oxford, North Carolina Serves 20-Ounce Ribeyes With A Huge Salad Bar

Some steakhouses spend their budget on dark wood and fancy lighting. This one in Oxford, North Carolina spends it on the grill instead. Out here in Granville County, a small-town spot has been quietly turning out ribeyes big enough to hang over the edge of the plate, including a hefty 20-ounce cut. Every steak comes with a trip to a salad bar that people talk about almost as much as the beef.

12 North Carolina Restaurants That Know How To Make Biscuits And Gravy Right

One Asheville spot serves cathead biscuits, a name that comes from biscuits roughly as big as a cat’s head. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then I learned the same place lets you pick a gravy the way other cafes let you pick a muffin. Another kitchen in Charlotte never closes, so sausage gravy is on the table at 3 AM if you want it.
