Nothing compares to outdoor dining and drinking season in Raleigh. An outing on a patio or terrace with great food, drinks, and company can do wonders for your mental health—no summertime sadness here! Lucky for you, our restaurants, Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar and La Terrazza, both boast beautiful outdoor areas ideal for whiling away your spring/summer evenings. Trust us, these hot spots are going to be your go-to for patio/terrace dining this season!
Mulino Outdoor Dining
Mulino has long been lauded as one of the best patios in Raleigh. Centered around a gorgeous blue pool, it offers ample seating options amid twinkling lights and greenery, instantly transporting diners to an intimate trattoria straight out of Italy. Of course, a spot right next to the pool is the best seat in the house, but there are also covered outside tables in the case of a rare summer shower. No matter where you sit or what the occasion—whether a date night, gathering with friends, or a spontaneous post-work pit stop—Mulino’s patio is the perfect spot to enjoy golden-hour cocktails, handmade pasta, and unforgettable evenings under the open sky.
La Terrazza Outdoor Dining
Ever since La Terrazza opened, it has been the place to be in Downtown Raleigh for an alfresco affair, mostly thanks to its stunning views of the skyline. Talk about a picturesque spot for Instagram snaps! Its partially covered terrace sets the stage for delicious alfresco bites, bevs, and an all-around gorgeous evening. Not to mention the terrace also has its own outdoor bar—now open starting at 4 p.m. Tuesday–Sunday!—welcoming you for a casual dinner, apps, and/or bottle of wine. Trust us, come sunset, there’s no better place to be!
Drink and Dine Alfresco at Mulino and La Terrazza
Due to unpredictable weather, we can not guarantee patio seating at either of our restaurants, but please note your preference in your reservation, and we will do our best to accommodate. We hope to catch you outside at our restaurants this season!
