Only words are WOW!!! Wish the were more stars to give. Excellent quant little restaurant. Luciano, our waiter, from Italy was amazing. We had Caprese, Ceaser Salad, and Dinners were Saltimbocca, Marsala, Duck and all were perfectly presented and spices were great. Owner and Chef is from Italy and Italian trained and it shows. Bread selection was fantastic, fresh, and warm. Overall 10 stars out of 5. Traveling from FLA to VA and this will become a regular stop as we go back and forth.

I really want to enjoy this place but the food is awful. The chef came by to ask how the chicken Marsala was. I said it was awful. He stated he’s from Italy and it’s fresh. The marsala tasted such as a frozen chicken breast in gravy sauce from food lion. He walked away and I walked away with a crappy to go bag that I tossed. The veggies even tasted as they were from the frozen isle. I originally was going to say service was great but when he packed my bread to go, he also packed my half eaten piece in a bag. Kinda just half service, for the price. 😂😂😂

This is the place to have a nice dinner if you visit Florence, SC. We stopped in Florence on our way to Saint Augustine. We made reservations for Friday night, and I am glad we did. It was busy. We ordered lasagna, veal Al limone and cannoli. Everything was delicious and nicely presented. The service was great. On our way back home we are definitely going there for dinner.

Living in Houston, where there’s no shortage of amazing restaurants, I’ve become pretty picky about food. I first discovered this spot during a work trip three years ago, and it left such a lasting impression—it truly served some of the best quality food I’ve had anywhere in the world. Tonight, being back in Florence, I returned, and once again, it did not disappoint. The service was excellent, the food outstanding, and the owner—along with the staff—was incredibly welcoming. Everything is freshly made to order. This isn’t a place to rush through a meal; it’s a place to relax, savor, and enjoy the full experience. Without a doubt, it remains one of the best dining experiences of my life.
Simply the best Risotto ai di mar! We were on our way to Savana from New Jersey stuck in traffic on I-95 and found this restaurant from google. So friendly staff made dining experience all the more memorable for our anniversary dinner. We’re coming back for more!

Stopped in here in a road trip and we are glad we did! They make all of their pasta by hand and it’s definitely noticeable in each dish. We got the daily special which was a branzino over hand made tortellini what is filled with a mixture of ricotta and parmesan to deliver a delicious robust flavor. The branzino was cooked to perfection! The flesh glistened and the skin was crispy. Amazing dish. Also pictured is the penne allo scoglio which was also very good. The penne is clearly also made in house and perfectly done. The amount of seafood in the dish was impressive. The only downside was the timing of the cook on the seafood, some of the muscle shells were lukewarm at best but overall the flavor delivered. I’d definitely get it again. We finished with a crème brûlée which was incredible! Not over sweet and the fame torched sugar on top was thin and very well balanced. We would 100% come back here if we are ever in the area. Also shout out to Brenton who was out server and went above and beyond in delivering a most enjoyable experience and answering all of my many questions.

This restaurant is pricey, i don't mind, we love Italian Food, but this time this restaurant has the worst chicken parmigiana that i ever had. Hard, without flavor, taste like old frozen chicken. The cook/owner is rude and unprofessional. when i let them know that the food was bad, he forced us to wait for over 15 minutes and when he finally came out he was confrontational and argumentative. after arguing with me and basically telling me i was wrong he finally refunded the meals but charged me for the grated parm they put on top of a meal that we didn't eat. he then gave me my change in all coins. If you want to have your food cooked by a chef this petty, by all means come here. I would not send someone I hated to this establishment.

We came here for the first time tonight and my husband and son both got the chicken parm. The noodles were undercooked and the chicken was so hard you couldn’t cut it with a butter knife. They did not even eat two bites of their meals. The owner refused to take the cost of the meals off of the bill and treated us horribly. We will never be back and I will tell anyone that I can to absolutely avoid this place. Horrible food. Horrible service. Word travels fast in this town so I will make sure I tell everyone.
