Customer Reviews

We were locally referred to this restaurant, and it hit the mark! Our server, Jenny, was delightful, knowledgeable, and bubbly We started with Bruschetta, which I neglected to get a picture of, but it was fantastic. I ordered the Carolina Chicken, minus the chicken, and it was delicious. My husband ordered the Stromboli Calzone, which he enjoyed. Our dinner mates enjoyed the Pomadora, which is loaded with tomatoes, and Penna Con Verde Mista, which included mixed vegetables. For dessert, we enjoyed the Tiramisu and Cannoli. I really enjoyed my southern sweet tea! We would highly recommend this restaurant and will return on our next visit!

Wanting Italian for lunch and always been a little scared of this place because of the size of the menu (Italian and Mexican) decided to give it a shot and I as so happy we did. The service was amazing, friendly and prompt. The food was equally amazing with the star being the fried ravioli. While I liked everything, I did find the bruschetta a little overwhelming and would suggest it only if you are a fan of the over garlic style of the dish. Definitely a do again choice.
