About Us

Here at Gravy, we celebrate the diverse and much-loved tradition of Italian-American cooking.

Ask any Italian-American what ‘gravy’ is, and they’ll tell you it’s the pasta sauce that their mothers and grandmothers cooked fresh every night. At Gravy Restaurant we take the same care, preparing our signature sauce every day using select tomatoes and locally grown herbs. The heart and soul poured into the preparation of traditional Italian-American dishes pairs with inspired modern twists and a focus on seasonal ingredients to define Gravy’s unique approach to this classic cuisine.

We proudly support North Carolina Farms and Distilleries whenever possible on our menus.


We at Empire condemn the recent acts of racism and violence against George Floyd and so many other Black men and women before him:
