I first tried Vespa in 2006. Perfect pasta, heavenly asparagus, lovely presentation, pleasant wait staff. By perfect pasta, I mean that the bite and flavor were perfect, the cream sauce delicate, the 4 or 5 stalks of... (more)

My husband & I have eaten at the Vespa in Cary which recently closed & have always had wonderful food there. We were delighted to try the Vespa Cibobuono in Chapel Hill & found it just as tasty. Good for folks of any age!... (more)

this is a favorite of ours when we want a good pasta meal. I like the intimate atmosphere, the wine list and the specials are always good! We have taken friends and family when they're in town, as we know we'll get a good... (more)

I've lived in Chapel Hill for over 20 years so I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable about the local restaurant scene. My recent experience at Vespa confirmed what I have always felt about the restaurant, and... (more)

This is the only reasonably-priced restaurant in the area where I can find the pasta cooked just right at al dente!! A friend of my recommended this restaurant as one of her Italian friends' favorites. However,... (more)

The absolute strongpoint, and reason that I go back to this restaurant again and again, is the ease with which you can make it your own. At Vespa you won?t find the large sterile environment of a mega service... (more)

Vespa tries to offer an "authentic Italian amotmosphere". They fail terribly.On their overpriced entrees they skimp out on the main ingredients (I had the sausage in marinara with virtually no sausage). After... (more)

Short and sweet: This place is a joke! I don't know who could give this place a grade on a scale of 1 to 10 an 8 or 9. What are you thinking!? We were ignored, served drinks that made me nervous, and served food that my dog... (more)

<b>In Short<br></b>Under the restaurant's zippy logo, which includes a stylized sketch of Vespa scooter, you'll see the word "cibobuono." That's Italian for good food, and many would agree that's exactly what's... (more)

What a great restaurant. My husband and I went for Valentine's Day and had a fantastic meal, from appetizer to dessert. The calamari is perfectly cooked. I had the gnocchi special and it was quite possibly the best... (more)

Whether you are on a date, going to a nice dinner with some friends, or taking your parents to dinner, Vespa is the best Italian restuarant to choose. I find myself constantly going back because of the amazing,... (more)

Had the occasion to dine on Wednesday and Saturday of the same week. The menu changed within those few days, but each offered more choices than my fellow diners and I could chose easily. The meals were definitely... (more)

Vespa is the best. It can be extremely expensive as it's northern italian so you're basically eating a 5 course meal. I can't say enough how amazing the food is though. It's worth every penny.... (more)

The service at Vespa is outstanding, and well deserving of a 20% tip. I have had the veal chop every time I have gone, and it is the best veal I have ever had. People I have been with have had their pasta dishes, which look... (more)
