If you are an Olive Garden/Carrabas Italian good person this is not the place for you. The service was great and yes it did take a bit for the food but these dishes were not quick simple meals. Start to finish we left with full bellies and full hearts. We started with the grilled octopus which is usually something I don't go for but it was mouth watering goodness. We had two pasta dishes, the Bucatini All' Amatriciana and the Paccheri Beef Bolognese. The bucatini had some spice but the Italian sausage and all the flavors made me dream of this pasta. The Paccheri was a classic and just everything you could want. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later to try even more dishes!

My husband and I came here for lunch. Everything sounded so good. I went in there thinking I just…read morewanted pizza, and then I looked over the menu. Just when i thought i knew what i wanted, i turned the page and found something else i wanted. I ended up ordering way more than we needed.... maybe i have a problem. In all fairness, the first half of the menu is Italian food, and then it switches over to Mexican. So, i can't really be blamed. We started off with cheese dip, which comes with chips and salsa. We also ordered zeppoles as an appetizer. Then, my husband and I split a spicy chicken salad. Sorry we ate all of that before I thought to take a picture. Next, we dove into the large pizza pie, which was really good. It's a nice thin crust just how i like it. We also ordered a small personal sized white pizza to try out. It was good, but not as good as the regular pizza. It was all so good. Needless to say, we had a bunch leftover to feed the monsters at home.

Our server Fritz W was very knowledgeable and made our dining experience even better. We began with two glasses of wine and shared an app of mozzarella caprese. Entrees selected were bolognese rigatoni and chicken francese with a side penne with arrabbiata sauce. All were large portions and wonderful. As we were finishing our dinner, Gus the owner came over and we got a chance to compliment the staff, the food and what they have done in renovating the current space. Well done Gus and team for all you have done to make Santoro's a MUST visit when out in Lake Oconee. See you again soon

We came for the B&B and stayed for dinner instead of going into Dublin. So glad we did!…read more The hosts were amazing and fit us in at the last minute when we found out there was a restaurant on-prem. We were seated at 7pm and both the service and food were amazing. We felt like family. The owner stopped and chatted with each table for a few minutes after the main course. The B&B was also a pleasure. We had a special need and the owner was more than happy to accommodate us. The room was cozy and had a couple of easy chairs that you could watch TV from. There was also a couple of bags of snacks and a fridge stocked with sodas and water, all complimentary. If you love animals, there is a resident cat who makes his way along the outside porch as an ambassador to all the guests. There are also some donkeys and horses on property who love to get their heads scratched.

My breakfast was a beautiful omelette, fresh fruit, buttered toast, tea, juice, or coffee, fresh jams, and all delicious. The farm is cute and quaint and not too far off the main drag. The friendly kitty was a treat as well. I will tell you, the night I stayed they were feeding a book club and the smell of the food was making me salivate from my room! I was offered but declined and now I regret it so much! Planning on going back with my husband when we can eat dinner as well! Can't wait!

The bolognese and lobster/scallop pasta were delicious. Don't be afraid to go because it's in the Ritz. We had an appetizer, salad, 2 entrees, and 2 glasses of wine each and the total was $150! That was only $5 more than Santoro's.

We decided last minute to join some friends who already had a reservation so they canceled ours and added us to our friends with no issue. It was hard to understand why the reservation system showed little availability as the restaurant was half empty. May be they were short staffed. We were seated in their fully enclosed patio at a low table (there were high tops as well). Our server was very knowledgable about the menu and offered up the specials from memory. We started with the focaccia, which I highly recommend! Everyone at our table thought it was the best they've had. It came with a whipped ricotta and olive tapenade, both of which were excellent! For my entree, I had the carnivora pizza which was perfectly cooked. Thin and slightly crunchy, there were not a ton of toppings that overwhelmed the crust, which was good in this case. The calabrian chiles gave it a nice kick and made the meal for me! My only issue was that they got my leftovers mixed up so when I opened them the next morning, it was not my food!

Agustino's inside the Marriott Augusta... listen, let me tell y'all something. This place was a…read morewhole vibe from the moment we walked in. First things first... the hostess Lyne set the tone immediately. Personable, funny, and quick-witted. She picked up on my husband's "I like to cause a little trouble just because I can" energy within seconds. Without missing a beat she said, "Listen... we're going to put him in time out right there." Another guest nearby started chuckling and I knew right then we were in good hands. Our waitress Kim was just as amazing. Attentive without hovering, friendly, and she kept checking on us to make sure we were good and boxed up once we tapped out. Now let's talk about the food... whew chile. I ordered the Lady Killer and let me tell you... it absolutely understood the assignment. Whatever magic was happening in that kitchen... keep doing it. The salad was huge. I only made it a few bites before I had to surrender. The rest went upstairs with me because wasting food is not in my ministry. And the cocktail... round of applause... smooth, balanced, and pretty enough to make you pause before the first sip. All in all... great energy, great service, and food that delivered. The manager walked around inquiring about the service given. Someone mentioned they weren't happy about their food and she appeared genuinely concerned as she further asked questions and how to take care of the matter. I was impressed. For me it's the small things like this that'll guarantee me being repeat... Separate review for the hotel itself coming up!...
