The Whole Wheat Fettuccine is also my favorite. Another favorite is The Crab. It's actually rather reassuring that they've stayed on the menu year after year. I agree, though, that it would be nice to have an expanded pizza menu.

The Whole Wheat Fettuccine is also my favorite dish. I do want to warn everyone, however, to steer clear of the lasagne. I mistakenly ordered this once and never will again. It tasted exactly like Michael Angelo's frozen lasagna that you can get for like, $3 at the grocery store! I'm not sure if they ran out of it and got some frozen stuff so they could serve something, but I wish they had simply told me they were out of it. I was not pleased and coming from an Italian family, I tend to judge Italian restaurants based on their lasagne. Not good! It's the only thing that stops me from recommending 518 as a top Italian restaurant in the area. My favorite Italian places in Raleigh area are Cafe Tiramisu and Piccolos.
