The menu is truly a feast for the senses. For starters, do not miss the Wood Grilled Shrimp—tender shrimp wrapped in prosciutto, accompanied by a citrus vinaigrette that elevates its flavor profile. Pair it with the Gnocchi made with roasted butternut squash and wild mushrooms, which will delight those seeking comfort food with a twist.
For a lighter option, the Wood Grilled Pear Salad is a standout, artfully marrying the sweetness of pear with gorgonzola and toasted walnuts in a honey-walnut vinaigrette. If you're a fan of bruschetta, the Bruschetta featuring grilled baguette with avocado and goat cheese is a vibrant start to your meal.
The Pizzette section offers a fantastic twist on classic pizza. The Margherita is elegantly simplistic, showcasing fresh ingredients like mozzarella and basil. For the adventurous, the Bistecca topped with steak and mushrooms brings a robust flavor that’s hard to resist.

We have eaten at 411 twice now while visiting our UNC freshman. Both visits have been incredible. Food was delicious (we love the warm olives, bruschetta and brussel sprouts to start!), service was top notch, and it was cozy and inviting. One family member is gluten free and they happily accommodated her. Great wine and you have to get the dessert sampler the first time you go! We will definitely be back!
Very good food on nice atmosphere. Really enjoy many items on their menu. Service is very good & responsive. Convenient parking is beside restaurant.
Not a single bad meal in 25+ years of dining at 411. Service, cocktails, and food are consistently excellent.
Great pasta dishes and service in a friendly bistro setting. Very reasonably priced.
Well this was definitely worth the wait yall. Had dinner here a few weeks ago when my parents where in town. I knew about this place for a while but just never had an opportunity to eat here. I got the chicken marsala and glass of their house chardonnay. Both were amazing! Our server was wonderful too. Very helpful on menu suggestions and was so polite. My parents also got the house chardonnay, wish I could remember the name. My dad got the chicken parmesan and mom got the lasagna. Both were very happy with their selections. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting. Next time I'll definitely grab a seat at the bar so I can catch all the action! I'll definitely be back!
We had a party of 10, part of our group came late! I felt so bad, I did not realized though- the restaurant stayed open until everyone left, and you could order food and drinks, it seemed like until. - they did do a last call later, but as long as you were already there, you were still able to get full service. The food was delicious; I got the salmon, I was able to notify about my squash allergy and it was no issue at all. The drinks were delicious as well! For the birthday girl, they were able to write happy birthday on a dessert plate you purchased. We sat in the outside covered section, the temperature was nice. It is a covered greenhouse type ceiling with a small water fountain. A great dinner for a small or large party.
