Great family restaurant
by CHSMom09
My family really loves going to Daniel's. For those nights whereI don't feel like cooking and want great Italian food, we go to Daniel's. We would go even more often if it were up to my kids! They have a wide selection of food, which is great since I have a family full of picky eaters and everything we've tried is high quality. I highly recommend.
- Pros: Family-friendly, clean, delicious food that my kids enjoy
- Cons: N/A

Wonderful Italian in Apex
by tjones3
I really like Daniel's--I visit at least once a month. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, and I love to try something new every time I visit. The restaurant itself is clean and nicely decorated, and the food is top-notch. I recommend this place to my friends all the time.
- Pros: Wide variety of dishes, wine selection
- Cons: None that I can think of

Service failure not concern of manager
by 1 displeased
It was taking a long time for our food to come out. Two tables seated after us (one at least 15 min later) were both sered before our waitress though to check (my look at her when she served the second table probably reminded her). Some how the communication betwen the kitchen and the wait staff failed an our meals had to be remade owing to the time they sat. The waitress told us the manager was informed of the issue, yet he never came by to apologize for the problem. When we were leaving I asked to speak to the manager thinking I missed understood the waitress. Once he arrived, I informed of the problem and he basically said on yeah, sorry. Very disappointing. I doubt I will return, if you don't care about your customers' experience why return and risk another disappointment.
- Pros: Food was fine and waitress nice
- Cons: Food took forever to come out

Really Nice for Lunch
by castine
I stopped by Daniel's on my lunch break and got the grape, pear and bleu cheese salad. All of the ingredients were very fresh and the combination was unique. Can't wait to try out their other menu items.
- Pros: Wonderful grape, pear and bleu cheese salad, quick service
- Cons: N/A

One of the best Italian restaurants in the Triangle
by sphillips148
I ordered the chicken piccata and my boyfriend ordered the lasagna, and both dishes were delicious. I also liked that the servers were friendly and helpful with recommendations when we couldn't decide what to order. Overall, great atmosphere, convenient location and fresh food. I'll definitely visit again!
- Pros: Friendly servers, great chicken piccata, convenient location
- Cons: none

A Wonderful Surprise
by foodfan09
Being newer to the area, I was a little nervous to find out that my friends were taking me here for my birthday, especially after reading the post about the low health rating. What a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and I think the calamari appetizer was the best I've ever had. Our server (an older gentleman) was very knowledgeable and professional. He had some great wine suggestions. All-in-all, a fantastic meal. And curiously, their rating was a 96, so maybe I misunderstood the posting claiming that it was low.
- Pros: Fresh entrees, great service, lots of choices for wine
- Cons: Not much parking

OVERRATED
by Boomer13
What a terrible place. I have never been to a place that was rated well, and felt like I was a bum. This is the worst place I have been in my life. The food was not authentic at all. It looked like you headed alfredo up in the microwave five days after eating it. The oil and fat in the dish (veal canneloni) was awful. That, however, was the highlight of our night. When you are forced to sit in this circa 1950's building you can be overwhealmed by the smell and poor artwork on the walls at first. If you are able to overcome this, you will be presented by an entitled staff lead by the worst management I have ever seen. If you like to torture yourself I would reccomend this farce of a restaurant. In all honesty, I can't belive this place is open with their sanitation score. STAY AWAY IF YOU CAN RALEIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Pros: Nothing
- Cons: Management, Decor, Food, Buisness Practice

Feels Like Country Run By A Menevolent Dictator
by Bruce131980
What a waste of time!!! Never heard of the place, but we had to eat and were on our way home down highway 55. WOW were amazed at how dingy and dated the decor was here. The food was OK, however, that is not the entire story. Our waitress, from Buffalo as we are as well, was actually quite attentive and charming. Other than that the experince went downhill from there. Our food took forever! We had a small table agianst a wall right near the kitchen and could hear the entire staff. The owner seemed bitter and vengeful as we could hear him speak to the female manager. On top of this unprofessionalism, we heard the service staff all night as well. All we could hear is how they disliked working there and how the owner and management did not like the way the night was going. I have never heard such open negativity in a public esablishment before. We did like the food but the experiance was not worth it. I would reccomend Daniel's for individuals that live a negative lifestyle and enjoy petty bickering because that is all we could focus on. It is too bad that another restaurant is poorly run because the food was actually rich and of decent quality.
- Pros: Food and Wine List
- Cons: Ownership, Managment, Building

Great food but smokie
by annejason
I was at the Fuquay Resturant this weekend. I really loved my server and the food was great. I don't think it could have been beter if I made it myself. My only problem was that the resturant was smokie. It made my eyes burn. When I asked my server what was going on she said some of the spices used to make blackened items was causing the smoke. It was really bad. I hope that it is not always like this because I want to go back. I will give it another try but won't return if the smoke continues.
- Pros: Really great food and service
- Cons: Smoke coming from the kitchen

Won't go back
by BobnSuz
We went there recently and boy, is the service slow and unattentive (such as water refills). The food took a long time to get to our table, and it didn't taste all that good. The tomato suace is kind of metallic/acidic tasting - not pleasant. There are better places for Italian food. Also, the decor is cheesy, and the seating, booths, etc., are just low class feeling - like a chain panckae house or something.
- Pros: Close to where we live
- Cons: Parking, decor, food, service, noise
