Description
Voted “Best Italian Restaurant in the Triangle” four straight years (2005 – 2008) by the readers of the Independent (the area's leading weekly magazine), 518 West captures the vitality of Italy and the Mediterranean with an imaginative twist. Using locally grown products whenever possible, the menu features fresh seasonal pasta, wood-fired pizzas, fresh seafood, and inspired weekly specials.
The most popular table is the “engagement table”, a romantic table for two on a solitary platform overlooking the main dining room and elegant cappuccino bar. Other upstairs tables provide a view of a beautiful second story garden and the spacious first floor, recreating the ambience of an Italian villa.
Parking is available directly behind 518 in the parking deck beneath 222 Glenwood condominiums, or on some nearby streets; but the easiest solution is to take advantage of 518’s affordable valet parking service. Just pull up at the front door and let the attendants take over while you enjoy a delicious meal. Valet parking is available every evening and Sunday Brunch.
The menu offers many delicious choices, but the most popular items are two fresh pasta dishes- the Crab, featuring fresh lump crab meat, wild mushrooms and house made red pepper papperdelle pasta with a dill cream sauce, and the Whole Wheat Fettuccini with grilled rosemary chicken.
One of the most popular drinks at 518 is the Limontini, a refreshing mix of Limoncello, an Italian lemon liqueur, freshly squeezed citrus juices, and fresh mint.
