D's Italian Restaurant

I hidden gem in Southport…

Authentic, comforting Italian fare in a warm, welcoming spot—perfect for post‑ride pasta cravings! I run Cycle‑logical Tours and would love to chat about including D’s Italian Restaurant on our suggested stops.

Great food and fast service!

Food is decent. I personally think the 🍕 is a lil pricey.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at D's tonight. Our server, Caroline, was extremely attentive and responsive. I shared a delicious shrimp appetizer with my hubby and then we both enjoyed scrumptious fresh salads. For entrees I had the chicken marsala and he had a calzone that was made to order. Hubs said it was the best calzone he's ever had which is saying something since he has traveled all over the world. Portions are generous! We could not have had a better experience and the night was topped off with the owner personally stopping by our table to insure all was good. This was our first time dining at D's and we will be sure to return soon!

As usual we tried a new place while out in unfamiliar towns. Ds was more empty then it seems it should have been on a Thursday late lunch. We asked the opinions of multiple people what to try and tried most of the suggestions doin 2 slices each and shared among the wife and myself covering 4 different pizzas a salad and desert. Every single slice 😋 was delicious and hard to pick as favorite (despite no meat on 2). The salad was super fresh and not skimpy. The desert was a coffee flavored melt in your mouth dish. I have absolutely zero regrets trying this new destination while picking up a Facebook market place kayak. This was a rare occasion where I have absolutely nothing to say I'd have done different. I'm picky and I'm usually quick to complain about sticky tables or so-so recipes. Not a single thing I'd change here. Cool ac, hot food, 3 separate people checked on our well being, clean silverware and tables and floors. Solid 10 out of 10 and despite my contempt with the ice tea they had 2 pages of wine and brew to browse. 50.00 + 10.00 in tip was an easy decision with 2 extra to go boxes and well spent for the date. Highly recommended for health enthusiasts who still enjoy flavor, or even plump critics like myself looking for a great bang for the buck.

The pizza is amazing. The daily specials are as well. This place is truly great. If you want primo Italian food, look no farther. Get in there and enjoy.

This place is one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to.
Each item on the menu is something new and delicious and the staff there are very kind.

Owner is a true nightmare to work for. She is very mean to her employees.

We reserved the back tables for a group of about 10 to 15 ladies for lunch. The room that they put us in was private and the waitress was fantastic! Kept our drinks full and the food was great! My rating is not about our waitress but the owner's restrictions they put on our group.

Let me explain. The reason for the lower rating is because our reservation was for 11:30 am and we were not allowed to order any lunch specials and they made us order off the DINNER menu. Even though they were serving pizza in the front and they have pizza on the menu that we were given, we were not allowed to order pizza. Several ladies and I ordered the scallops appetizer and then we were notified that it wasn't available either. After a little pushback a couple of ladies were allowed to order sandwiches from the lunch menu. We were told the reason for the menu change was to give us better food options but I personally felt like it was to force us to order higher priced items. This was my first time at D's and I'm disappointed that it wasnt a better experience.

I had the eggplant parm which was delicious. But the bread and dip was terrible. A real disappointment. The waitress wasn't the best until she saw her tip. I will not return.
