Locals come here to just chat over breakfast and coffee. Will come back.

We weren't greeted warmly at all--the waitress saw us, and when I smiled, she looked genuinely annoyed that she had to serve us. Instead of a proper welcome, she just asked, "How many y'all have?" and pointed us to a table with high top(half of the people I went with are short including ) chairs near the back. Definitely expected better customer service.

This place just continues to go down hill, avoid at all cost…read more Let's be clear, this establishment has gone through numerous owners, multiple name changes, staff and management in and out like a revolving door. This place has no identity other than its limited seating bar and dark board on the back wall located directly next to the rest rooms. I went there on a Friday evening with a girlfriend, got there right around 9:00pm. It really wasn't busy at all, except for the bar. We stood at the entrance waiting to be seated, and eventually a hostess or server came over to us. She sat us at a table next to the bar. First thing that was told to us - the kitchen is limited/closed. "All we are serving out of the kitchen is deep fried foods. -Really? 9:00pm on a Friday is prime time business action! But okay. So we only focused on drinks. After waiting what seemed like 10 minutes for any server to come to us, the server didn't even approach with waters, so we asked for just two light beers. That took another 10-15 minutes, although we were at a table right next to the bar. I was tempted to just stand up, walk 3 feet to the bar and order myself. Anyways, we stayed here another 30 minutes before getting out of there as quickly as we could because the server just kept taking so long even check on us. The place wasn't busy, no clue what she was doing. It's like she was ignoring us on purpose. I personally will never return to this place and I recommend you save your time and money. It's a shame because this place literally has the chance to be a monopoly! There are not many places to go around here so that is already a win for them. They should really think hard and just clean up the place. Paint, brighten it up, chance up the vibe, bring in Bar Rescue or Kitchen Nightmares and fix this place up please!

Make sure you make reservations because they're usually very busy. As for the food, I think that this is one of the better Italian restaurants I've tried in NC. The Parmagiano Crab Dip is absolutely to die for...especially when served with their freshly baked flat bread. The pasta all'Ortolana was very well seasoned and filled with veggies. I judge an Italian restaurant by their sauce & meatballs which honestly didn't disappoint. Portion sized are generous...everyone was leaving with takeout containers. The service we had was impeccable! Our server, Madison, was amazingly attentive and efficient! This will be one of our favorite haunts.

The fried ravioli was a hit; the signature "baked dough" is an appetizer pizza: do add the recommended cheese. The pasta dishes were fresh and well seasoned, the sausage and peppers could pass for the NJ specialty (a high compliment). Four out of four recommend it.

They do have something of a beer garden without about a dozen on draft and they make it a focus to concentrate on local crafts. They had seven food trucks that night with plenty of variety: Japanese, Latin, Korean, Thai, cookies, pizza, BBQ. Also, the parking isn't too bad. It's a little all over the place, and you might have to find a remote lot, but you can find a spot with enough patience. The restroom lines got pretty backed up, so plan on that accordingly!
