We have passed Italian Restaurant many times and never stopped. We were meeting up with my in-laws to celebrate my MIL’s birthday and our first 2 locations were closed despite calling the day before to confirm they would be open. We ended up being so happy they were. Scott was welcoming and provided excellent service. We had pizza, a calzone, fettuccine with white clam service, and cheese ravioli and all of them were excellent. NY style pizza that is some of the best in the area. Scott even brought out a piece of tiramisu with a candle and to sing for my MIL. Thank you for making our celebration

We had an absolute blast here. The food was great and the service was even better. We had a large group of 15 with the majority being kids. They accommodated us in the area we requested to try to be as out of the way as possible. Jamie was our server and we absolutely enjoyed her personality as well as the others we spoke with throughout our time there. We definitely plan on going back when we visit NC again!

Food was decent, service was terrible. I know they were short staffed, but that didn’t stop the waiters from taking multiple smoke breaks. Also everyone at my table got their food and finished it except for my husband. We had to request it to go. Never again!

Great little place for Italian food and pizza. We got a pepperoni and sausage pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, and garlic cheese bread takeout. They had a drive through window that we could have picked up from, yet I went in and ordered. They were very friendly, the restaurant was cozy and clean, and they had a 100 health score to top it all off. The pizza was a NY style pizza that had a great crust. Everything was really good and we will be back!

Friendly staff. Ordered Chicken Alfredo and Meat Baked lasagna. For dessert Lemon Cream Italian Cake and Tiramisu, made in house. Everything was delicious. Generous portions. Alcohol sold. Wines, beers, and some mixed drinks.

We were there 10/23/21 they were very busy and very short staffed. I felt so bad for the waitress, she was the only one that day, the owner was also waiting tables because the other waitress called in sick.
They did an outstanding job giving us the best service and food that they were able to provide. The waitress son was also there bussing tables and was a really sweet kid.
I truly appreciate the hard work that these people are doing when so many people are refusing to work.
I hope everyone will learn patience with business like this that are doing their best to continue providing quality service

Worst place in town. I should have known not to try it again after their rat infestation about 5 years ago. However I disgustingly did.
I got their fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The chicken had an off taste and after a couple bites I had to run to the bathroom and throw it all up. Seemed as though the chicken must have been bad.
On top of all this, they upcharged everyone who ordered on our party since we were a group.
Definitely will NOT recommend this to absolutely anyone unless you are looking for table scraps for the barn mice.
Very unfortunate that I have to give at least one star.

We stopped here on our way to SC with our grandchildren for dinner yesterday. Our server, Scott was awesome, friendly and efficient too. We ordered a Greek salad, cheesey garlic bread and a pizza! Everything was excellent! I also ordered a beer that is out of Asheville, NC on draft. I have never had a mug of beer stay so cold for so long. Great prices too! I highly recommend this restaurant for locals or if you are traveling through! I just got very sad when I read poor reviews of the service and pizza. We will be back if we are ever in the area again.
