Four Eleven West is a mediocre Italian restaurant. It has a more creative menu than Romano's Macaroni Grill, but its food isn't any better. I have yet to find a dependable, bread-and-butter Italian restaurant in the Triangle. I guess compared to the other low-grade restaurants on Franklin Street, Four Eleven West seems like a four-diamond experience to college and grad students. Otherwise, I cannot think of a reason why this place survives. \r

To its credit, the bar is nice here, albeit quite small.
