    Ran out of martini glasses!
    Anthony T.

    Let's start with one server hugs guys line back of the line without helping this family of 4 with a reservation. He sat them at the bar, must be nice to know people! 30 minutes later we get drinks and still without silverware. Moms says "this is not acceptable"! We are wautubg for bread now. The party behind us in line are experiencing the same issue. Oh no they ran out of martini glasses. We are not done here. Next review coming up!

    The food was absolutely delicious. We had their featured appetizers. Zucchini and cauliflower bloom was just ok but the mozzarella and burrata plate was to die for. By the time our meals arrived we could only eat a couple of bites, but what we had was scrumptious and can't wait to eat it tomorrow for lunch!!!

    Such great service and food! Best Italian we have ever had! The special Salmon piccata was perfect. Honestly we ordered too much food but everything was delicious. The tortellini soup, chicken parm, chicken capeiccioso, and finishing with 2 cannolis. We took the remaining home. It will not go to waste! I would recommend 100% trying this restaurant if you are in the area and craving amazing Italian food.

    Very sweet waitress. The food was good. The chef is a little conceited but all in all it was a good meal They were great at helping us celebrate Carolyn

    Fettuccine alla casa with chicken

    One of our favorite authentic Italian places around. We drive from Swansboro when in the mood for some good pasta. I love the fettuccine alla casa, and the carbonara. The bread is fantastic with the seasonings and dipping oil. Their house salad is very good but an additional $5. Carlo is awesome, when we have kiddos with us always comes out and greets them, gives them candy or ice cream on the house and comes out to make sure everything is tasting good. The 3 stars is honestly for the waitstaff. We have started branching out and trying new places because of the service we get here. There is one waitress who we get from time to time who is amazing! Then the other two who are there often seem like they are in another realm, Pretty unsanitary, and just all over the place. Definitely not the experience you want when eating Carlos delicious food.

    Chicken favoloso ! Not the best picture but trust it is sooo good!

    Ambiance: lovely Italian vibe with some relaxing live saxophone. Could easily dress up for a romantic dinner, or come with your family in your your dress downs. Bread: amazing, served with the classic olive oil and balsamic dip, but it's so garlicky and oily it doesn't need it! Side house salad: big pieces of lettuce and tomato. Not my favorite when you have to cut your salad. Cucumber and onion. Ordered the Italian dressing and it was meh to me, but hubby liked it. Would try the Cesar instead next time. Chicken favoloso: would 100% order this again. A rich delicious cream sauce with saltly bites of panchetta and tangy artichokes. Mushrooms and peas. Plenty of chicken!! It comes with a side of pasta and red sauce, but hot tip you can ask for the same pan sauce instead! I took half home. Shrimp Scampi: okay folks, here's where we dropped a star. The dish was pretty good, nothing really impressive. linguine noodles, tail on shrimp, with a light butter & marinara sauce. We did have to add some olive oil and Parm too it to get it to our liking. This is something we order everywhere and this one didn't really shine. They have a list of daily specials where this was included, and warning ask prices! We were shocked when we got the bill and it was $40 dollars, when comparable dishes were $20-25. If we would have known we would have def ordered something else. Service: pretty good ! Friendly staff. Overall, we will come back !

    We had a huge party celebrating my nieces 16th birthday. Service was cool and the food was good but seemed to be a little overpriced.

    Always delicious. Large portions and friendly staff. Quite often, the owner visits with guests as they dine. Highly recommend.

    Love the food the atmosphere the service everything is lovely. I enjoy coming and eating there. I'm…read morecoming this week to get chicken Parmesan.

    We are on our 30th Anniversary trip up the coast, and when in New Bern, we decided to try one of…read morethe Italian restaurants in the area. Upon arrival, the building looks nice and somewhat upscale. When inside, we were also ok with the atmosphere. It was somewhat quiet, clean, and their menu seemed very diverse. It was a mix of a little GOOD sprinkled with a lot of BAD from there. The waitress was slow and had no personality. She brought drinks, and when we were ordering, we asked to substitute pasta for something else. She said, "There were no subs, and adding something like veggies would be a cost". Beyond the rude tone she gave us, that is a terrible policy when ordering a $20 meal and then having to pay extra because pasta is NOT on your diet. Further, anyone with gluten issues would be forced to pay extra for any meal that has pasta as a side, and that's half the menu or more. That wasn't all : the salads were overloaded with black olives, the thousand island dressing was lousy, the bread was completely tasteless (and the butter as well, somehow), and the wait for the food was excessive considering it wasn't very busy. The good side was the sausage w/peppers I had was good, and the chicken w/spinach my wife had was also enjoyed - so the main dishes themselves weren't bad. With everything else on the poor side, we won't be back.
