Tazza Kitchen – Village District

Tazza Kitchen sits on Woodburn Road in Raleigh’s Village District, a short drive from downtown. The kitchen is built around wood-fired ovens, and the cooking follows the seasons, so the menu shifts through the year.

The drink list matters here as much as the food, with craft cocktails, wines and cold beer alongside whatever is on that month. The dining room is meant to feel like a neighborhood restaurant, the kind of place you end up at without planning it.

What to know

• The wood-fired ovens have anchored the kitchen since 2013.
• This is one of six neighborhood locations the company operates.
• The other restaurants are spread across Virginia and the Carolinas.
