Excellent genuine Italian food. Service is superb. Our server was friendly & knowledgeable about the dishes served. Good date night restaurant. Can't wait to go back
Stellar service and food. I love how spacious it is so people even in large parties don’t feel like they are on top of each other. It is hidden gem I don’t visit as much and need too!

Great food and drinks.
Ordered the Veal Marsala and the Chicken Piccata. The portion size on the veal was a bit small, but the flavor was good. The pasta needed a good deal of salt but the flavor was decent other than that. The Chicken Piccata had a good portion of chicken which tasted good, but the pasta had little to no flavor other than unsalted butter. No lemon could be identified and the capers were masked by the rich butter sauce.
The bread was not free, which is on us for not reading their menu in more depth. We've normally been serve Italian or baguette-style bread at Italian restaurants but it was dinner rolls. They were good, but not what we expected.
Wait Staff was very friendly and food service came out in a reasonable time for ~60% capacity. Despite that, for the quality of the food at the price point offered, it is unlikely that we will be back.
It was really great! Food was good, service was great. We had a very large party and all went very smoothly.
We made a reservation for a party of 8 for my son’s graduation from BTC at Fort Jackson. We arrived a half hour early, ordered a drink at the bar from the very friendly bartender and then were immediately seated despite our early arrival. They seated us in a private room, which was unexpected and absolutely perfect for our celebration. Our waitress was attentive and very helpful. Flatbreads, chicken Parmesan, lasagne, lobster ravioli, chicken Marsala and chicken piccata were all excellent! The manager even stopped in to make sure all our needs were met! The staff truly made this long awaited day very special for our family and we greatly appreciated the good food and warm atmosphere!

I ordered a Pasta Carbonara takeout order today and placed my food in the fridge after I got home for a couple of hours before warming it up. When I opened the container I thought the meal looked kind of dry. I thought maybe some of the sauce may have seeped to the bottom of the container but my wife fixed a plate for herself, and I didn’t say anything to her about how dry I thought the food was. I noticed that she was trying to shake it up to see if there was more sauce in it, but it still was dry. I called the restaurant to ask about the meal and to find out if it usually dry like this and I spoke to Jefferson. He immediately started to go into all types of excuses, and I just hung the phone up not really in anger but because I didn’t really want an excuse I just wanted to make them aware of the situation. If you are trying to save cost by reducing the amount of sauce then you are making a big mistake. I would have rather had a smaller portion with more sauce and flavor. I don’t want a refund I just wanted you to be better next time. I don’t think I will be going back again because I spent $27 for a single entree and bread on my food and didn’t get what I expected at all. If they would have offered a sauce on the side, I would’ve went back to the restaurant and been satisfied with that, but Jefferson just made so many excuses I just thought that There was no need to discuss it any further.
Jefferson you are lying. You never offered me any extra sauce and I shouldn’t have to ask for sauce. That should have been automatic. The meal was inedible for me. Just do better next time. In this economy I expect to get what I paid for and in this case I didn’t. You should have called me back and offered to fix the problem. Are you offering to fix it now?

My family has had lunch and dinner here several times. We usually come anytime we're in South Carolina. The standout entree is the crabcakes with orzo. It's delicious every time.

Me and my wife came here last night for a dinner date and it didn’t disappoint. We came in and was sat with an amazing server named Cyarra! We are always a little indecisive with what we want, and I couldn’t decide on which pasta I wanted. I asked her which one she’d recommend from maybe three choices and she immediately came in and helped me come up with exactly what I wanted. (The shrimp Messina but a little different…I did blackened salmon with this pasta with no pine nuts!!) with extra lemon butter sauce on the side. Cyarra also helped us pick out drinks and of course dessert, she was very attentive and made sure everything was boxed up for nicely. Thanks for a pleasurable night!! Enjoy our dinner photos!
