5 Best Italian Restaurants near Morehead City

“Taste of napoli was such an authentic experience. The waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable, a true italian. The wine was imported from veneto and had such a great flavor. Overall the food was fresh and superb, down to the olive oil. The food came out quickly and hot. 100% recommend.“

“We traveled from Creedmoor and stumbled upon this amazing place. The pizza was better than our normal pizza place and the cheese bread was amazing. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Restaurant shout out! Casa San Carlo Morehead City wow!! What an amazing experience!! From the moment we walked in until we walked out! Our serve was so kind and helpful with suggestions (which we took and everything was beyond delicious) We started with the fresh mozzarella lightly breaded and fried with a marinara sauce, that was to die for, with fresh grated Parmesan and what looked like julienne marinated tomatoes. My husband got a lobster ravioli in a pink sauce and I got the tortellini with mushrooms, prosciutto, and peas in a creaming white sauce. Everything was an explosion of flavor. The chef came out many time to check on us to make sure we were enjoying everything. I loved the genuine connections and hearing all the talk in the kitchen. Everyone who came in after us, I could hear all the employees greeting them as if they knew them like family. This restaurant feels like coming into a family dinner and delicious food. I wish we had come here earlier. Before we left they gave us a card inside an envelope that says “no peeking”! It could be a gift card towards our next meal, a free dessert, appetizer, or bottle of wine. It says we can use it in the month of April. We will be coming back to see what is our surprise! Thank you to the team at Casa San Carlos! You gave this couple a fabulous experience! It was a long overdue date night for parents of newborn twins!“

“Dee was exceptional! She made my birthday lunch so special. Laughter, jokes, smiles. Dee is an absolute treasure to the Olive Garden team. Her skills at promptness between refills and time management between appetizers and entrees was flawless. Our family of 5 will be asking to sit in her section again. Take my money, Dee. You are worth it my girl!“

“Just had the best pizza ever. I met the owner Val and was super nice and friendly to us stopping in for our first time. I’m a Buckeye from Ohio and loved the pizza. Also he’s has some great people working there who were super friendly. I’d highly recommend this place!“
