The story
At Brodeto in Raleigh, Chef Scott Crawford looks to the Adriatic Sea for inspiration, drawing on the culinary traditions of Southern Italy and Croatia. The menu focuses on lighter, seafood-centric dishes that reflect the vibrant tastes of these coastal regions—an approach that earned the restaurant a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026.
Beverage Manager Jordan Joseph complements the food with a curated selection of coastal-inspired cocktails, amari, and herbal liqueurs, alongside a diverse wine list from Italy, Croatia, and the broader Adriatic area. The result is a dining experience that feels both grounded in tradition and refreshingly original.
The restaurant occupies a bright, welcoming space in the Raleigh Iron Works complex, with counter dining, outdoor seating, and a bar. Open daily from 5pm to 10pm, Brodeto offers a focused dinner service that lets the seafood and seasonal ingredients shine. Whether you’re drawn by the Italian and Croatian influences or the thoughtful beverage program, this is a place that delivers on its promise of coastal flavor.
