Daniel’s is located in Apex right off Hwy 55. Daniels is a freestanding building with inside and outside dining areas. They have a sister restaurant in Fuquay-Varina.
We ate here for the first time last night. Daniel, the owner, was there and we met him. Dan wanted to talk NY with him, of course, and he told us he moved down here in 1992.
The New Yorker – Chicken Parmesan was very close to what you get in NY. Best salad I have had down here (Greek salad). We will be back. They serve bread at the beginning of the meal with a side of red sauce. I LOVE that. Probably, because I’m obsessed with red sauce. Daniel’s is my favorite Cary pizza and my favorite Italian restaurant in the Cary area.
The Raleigh-ite – I didn’t love my entree (penne alla casa), but I did LOVE the salad I ordered (it was on the specials menu, fresh white corn summer salad). The sauce on the entree was very rich, making it hard to eat very much. The salad had such a great flavor, white corn, tomatoes and an awesome dressing.
Antipasti salad, in my opinion, is not nearly as good as the corn summer salad, but it was still a decent salad. Good sized, fresh greens, nice light dressing. Chicken Piccatta has a very light wine sauce–kinda runny but tasty. I like that you can order the dishes with vegetables instead of pasta to cut down on the calories/carbs.
Do over? The New Yorker is willing to drive to Apex (15 minutes from where we live in Cary ) for Daniels, the Raleigh-ite is not (well, at least not without the summer salad).
