Battistella's closing, relocating
You've got until Saturday, September 27 to get your gumbo fix at Battistella's New Orleans Kitchen (www.battistellaskitchen.com). Owner/chef Brian Battistella says the Raleigh Crabtree Inn, where his restaurant is located, has been sold and is slated to be torn down to make way for two new hotels. He's already looking for a new location.
In the meantime, Battistella is going out with a bang. For his restaurant's last few weeks at the current location, Battistella is offering a new, more ambitious menu - "the one I've wanted to do all along."

It's hard to find a place
Mon, 07/20/2009 - 12:25 — Lewis123It's hard to find a place like the previous one for Battistella. The relocation is a hard pill to swallow for the well established business.

Find this Chef a home!
Wed, 08/13/2008 - 09:01 — rod1972I crave good Cajun food and it is hard to find. I live on the coast here in NC and had printed off the article a few weeks back about this retaurant to try next trip up to Raleigh. I'll keep my eyes open for a new location for Battistella's (hopefully soon).
