The Triangle’s food scene keeps growing, with new spots opening from Raleigh’s Oakwood neighborhood to Cary’s Fenton development. From Italian markets to French crêperies, here’s a look at what’s coming soon.
Here are key takeaways:
- Gallicchio’s Market & Eatery, a chef-driven Italian market, will open this fall in the former Ish Deli space on Person Street in Raleigh’s Oakwood neighborhood. Owner Stacy Murphy trained at the Connecticut Culinary Institute and worked at acclaimed restaurants including Emeril’s in New Orleans and Blue Ginger in Boston before launching her Italian American concept with some New Orleans influences.
- Little Caesars Pizza is returning to Cary with a standalone location at 100 Wrenn Drive, marking the first traditional storefront in the city since 2018. The new Little Caesars is nestled between a Duck Donuts and Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Google Maps lists an opening date of Oct. 14.
- Saint Mars, a cocktail bar and vinyl “listening room,” opens the week of Aug. 17 in the former Annexe space beneath Bar Virgile in downtown Durham. Owner Daniel Sartain plans to play exclusively vinyl records from his collection of about 1,000 albums spanning jazz, hip hop, rock and electronica, with an interior inspired by a cozy library aesthetic featuring sapele wood and black walnut.
- Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café is opening its first Triangle location in late August at 1 Fenton Main St. in Cary’s Fenton development. The French-inspired chain, founded in Houston, will serve sweet and savory crêpes alongside breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee and cocktails, with The Pagemore Hotel and Barouk, an Eastern Mediterranean restaurant, also coming to Fenton.
