Well Italian cuisine is not necessarily my favorite cuisine so I opted out of the pasta and sauce type dishes and went with a favorite of mine, shellfish and vegetables. The mussels were sauteed in a white wine butter sauce that was good. It could have been seasoned a bit better(herbs, salt, and acid) but overall solid sauce. The vegetables, which was my side dish, were perfect. Seasoned, cooked perfectly, delicious. Honestly, wanted a second order.?

The food was incredible.The service was good.The Atmosphere was nice.The prices were fair.

Consistently good food at a decent price with salad and bread included. Great tea and service!I have been here a few times now and have not been disappointed.The marinara can be a little salty, but...so can I, marinara...so can I

Pleasantly surprised, I must say! My family and I really enjoyed the food and service. There could have been a little more lettuce in our side salads, but overall, I give this place 2 thumbs up.

After reading some positive reviews on social media we decided to give the pizza a try. Upon arriving at the restaurant we were promptly greeted and seated. Our waitress couldn’t have been more pleasant professional and her service was great. The reason for the low rating was with regard to the food. First of all the antipasto was supposed to have fresh mozzarella, but that wasn’t the case, next we ordered two 16” pizza’s that looked like “bar pies” at best. The sauce was horrible and for being paper thin both pies were undercooked inside. My wife ordered a glass of red which was expensive for what look liked much less than a 5 ounce pour. If that wasn’t bad enough when I received the check which was $75.00 the first item listed was a $2.00 surcharge for using my credit card. We have been to more restaurants than we can count and have never incurred a surcharge for using my credit card EVER!!! This is absolutely absurd and when I brought it to the attention of the manager she mentioned that all Spartanburg County restaurants were charging this fee, when I countered with never being charged the fee she insisted that I had been and just overlooked it on my receipt. Needless to say we won’t be returning.

Starting with the server with attitude the food was adequate. The lasagna had a heavy oregano presence and was served alone on the plate with a small basket of bread. That’s all. Plate for oil but no spices to mix. Waitress never did bring when asked. Refilled my drink but left my companion’s empty. Not a pleasant experience. Will not return.

I was on my lunch break ran in to grab a personal pizza to go. It was 6.99, the woman says 9.81.. I said for what?? There’s a 2.00 CC fee even if debit!! So I pay cash cause she never said anything about a 2.00 cc fee & no signs anywhere about this. Then, no one is in there butv1 table with 2 people she says 35-45 minutes!! I was like why?? She said well even at McDonald’s you’ll wait that long!!! WHAT??? So I said just give me a sub instead- she says 35 minutes!! Again, I ask why as I’m sitting there looking at the people in the kitchen leaning on the counter Doing nothing! And she said you’re gonna have to wait anymore… So I walked out and got a refund and walked right into Subway which is next-door staff was way friendlier & has my sub in my hand toasted mi d you, in under 5 minutes!! Do t go there they rip you off!

All the ingredients were definitely fresh BUT I ordered a salad and got only a few leaves worth of greens ? I'm sure cost wise ($13.00) they could've been more generous with the main ingredient. Lettuce.

This scrumptious, freshly made Italian food put a smile on all of my family member's faces. I enjoyed the eggplant parm dinner. My husband, who is picky about his sauces, raved about his chicken parm meal. He wants to try the pizza next. We will definitely be back. I wish they offered delivery.

Being completely honest, the food was not my favorite but was not bad. The service was not that great but i completely understand the shortage of personal. Something that I really love was the spumoni which was a delicious ice cream (chocolate, strawberry and pistachio I would think because was green) I rush to eat it so I completely forgot about the pictures. The really positive thing was that the price was really cheap.
