Spazio Vino & Cucina

Chef-owner Paolo Gavazza, an ALMA-trained Roman native, welcomes guests to his 40-seat dining room at Spazio Vino & Cucina, where white-linen tables and a stone fireplace set the tone for full-service dinners in Holly Springs. Reservations are encouraged Tuesday through Saturday evenings so diners can settle in for attentive hospitality from a team that glides between the dining room and jewel-box kitchen.

Roman classics headline the menu: airy Pinsa Romana baked to order, silky Cacio e Pepe, velvety Carbonara, Polpetta al Sugo, handmade ravioli, and a centuries-old Bolognese lasagna layered with fresh pasta and béchamel. Seasonal specials rotate alongside charcuterie boards and Roman flatbread, while curated Italian wines by the glass and bottle keep the meal rooted in tradition.

Beyond nightly service, Spazio curates multicourse wine dinners, chef’s table evenings, and immersive cooking classes that let guests learn pasta, gnocchi alla Romana, and desserts straight from the source. The restaurant’s event space hosts private celebrations, and its heated igloo dining returns each fall for intimate outdoor gatherings, giving Triangle food lovers more ways to savor Chef Gavazza’s Roman hospitality.
