As with many transplants to North Carolina, you sometimes miss certain types of food that you could find in your old hood. Whether you’re talking about bagels, sushi, Mexican, or NY pizza, most folks that move to the NC Triangle have some things that they miss.

While I try to stay away from that discussion, I have to say that I really do miss good Italian food in the area! We’ve got some good options but they tend to be on the pricier, fancier side of things and sometimes I just want to hit up a small mom-and-pop restaurant that serves up some great pasta and appetizers. So I was glad to finally make it out to Tesoro in Carrboro for a couple of visits because it brings a different type of Italian dining experience to the Triangle!
