About this business

World-class Czech cuisine right in Cary, North Carolina! Contemporary European eatery, beautiful hardwood floors, intimate tables. Racks of wine fill the bright, airy space. It sounds upscale, and it is, but in a casual, comfortable way. The only thing more stunning than Klara's picturesque interior is its world-class Czech and European cuisine. During summer months, add a bit of romance to your evening by dining under the stars on the patio.

Back in late November 2008 the Vespa removed all of its motor scooters and closed down. Today the location houses Klara's Restaurant and features food from the Czech Republic. Klara and her staff deserve a 5-star rating.

e disperato! now best Czech cuisine in an Italian restaurant – Vespa, which was an above average, independently-owned Italian restaurant, is no more. When we reserved by telephone, they gave no clue that it is now Klara's Czech-European-Italian restaurant. We are terrorized by hyphenated cuisines so we took flight to Biaggi's where we had good but not outstanding cuisine, a very nice wine list and excellent service. watch out for the hyphenated cuisine. Czech-European-Italian indeed!

Great Intimate Setting – I took my woman to this little slice of heaven for her birthday. Amazing and authentic Italian food on a streetside setting. The atmosphere was relaxed and open and somehow managed to avoid the smothering cloud of pretention that covers most of Cary. I must visit for a little old world culture and personality.

GREAT RESTAURANT!!!!!!!!! – I highly recommend VESPA! Great location in down town Cary. Superior service, above and beyond expectations. Try the Chocolate Souffle, you'll love it. Also try the Seafood pasta and / or italian sausage pasta, you won't regret it. Romantic atmosphere... and the service adds to the romantic experience. FIVES STARS!

Authetic Italian – I am originally from NY and attempted this restaurant because of a 10% coupon that can be found at La Quinta hotels. The food was original and tasted great. The apps were over priced small but still the flavor stood out. The entree portion of the meal was a reasonable size and price. If you are looking for family style food this is not your place. I cleaned my plate clean and could not share. I had linguini with lobster. The linguini was made with squid very nice! The service was slow but it was nice to no... read more

good service, bad food – we went to vespa for a special occasion on a sat. night, made reservations and when we got there they were arguing on where to seat us (party of 6) even though only 2 other people were in the restaurant??? menu looked good, although when we got our food, sides were cold, no flavor what so ever, my entree was a chicken dish 3 small pieces of dark meat chewy chicken with some kind of flavorless warm sauce. my husband ordered the "special" of mixed seafood over fettuccini, there were 2 shrimp 3 clams et... read more

Casual patio dining and hearty Italian dishes make for a quality culinary option in Cary. – In Short Leafy green ficus trees, mint-colored tablecloths and vintage Italian posters make Vespa's casual atmosphere perfect for professionals. Try the potato gnocchi with portobellos. Although the teensiest bit salty, they make a nice pairing with the Chianti classico. The smoked quail on basil polenta with a shiitake sauce plays very well with an Argentinean cabernet. The tiramisu was rich with espresso. But the cannoli? Slightly s... read more

Service, service, service – Those who eschew chain restaurants know that there is a level of service only restaurant owners will provide.....this is the type of service offered by Vespa. Our party included four adults and a toddler, and the staff could not have been more accommodating. The food was also marvelous....we enjoyed warm flatbread, homemade polenta with wild mushrooms, a special veal dish that was not on the menu but was requested by one of our party, and a fabulous wild berry sorbet.
