• Italian • Chapel Hill

Giorgios Bakatsias' inspiration behind his newest concept, Osteria Georgi, stems from a deep appreciation for his dear friend- the late, great George Tarantini, an Italian native and beloved soccer coach for NC state University, well-known for his love and respect for hospitality. Osteria reflects the passion behind Italian cuisine and culture- a daily celebration of life while gathering around a shared table, of enjoying the beauty in simply prepared hand-made pasta, locally sourced ingredients and vibrant flavors, in having gratitude for the local farmers, fisherman, and artisans from which it all came, and always- a love for great company.

When you walk through the shadowed glass doors of Talulla's, an instant transformation begins to occur. Your mind and body begin to relax. Your ears pick up on the eclectic mix of music. Your eyes wonder around the walls, decorated in Turkish rugs; then the ceilings, scattered with warm, unique lighting pieces; then the floors... the dark, hardwood floors; and finally, across the plush seating areas, disguised by cushions and pillows and fabric leisurely draped around the frames.

    Service was excellent, with a very helpful and knowledgeable wait person. The food was delicious and included some novel combinations and sauces. The bar accommodated a special order cocktail. Noise level was quite high, though, making conversation difficult. Overall—would highly recommend this restaurant.

    What an unexpected treat! We stayed at The Carolina Inn for the weekend and breakfast was included since we booked through The Edit with Chase Reserve. The Sunday brunch was as nice or nicer than many we have been to at resorts around the country. The selections and quality of the food were outstanding. The servers could not have been nicer. What a fabulous way to end our weekend in Chapel Hill!
