Absolutely awesome food and service. Both my first and second visit to this establishment were outstanding. Our friends have been here numerous times and I can see why they keep going back. Our party of five were seated as quickly as they could during a very busy time for supper on a Friday evening. Our table ordered different salads to start, and each was appreciated. I had the Caprese. I cannot stress enough, how generous the portions are, how fresh everything is, and very tasty. Our table got two different kinds of pizza, a type of cheese bread (they ran out of garlic knots, which is understandable since they're incredible, and understandably sold out quickly!). The five of us kept commenting on how good everything was, hot when served, and oh my goodness the amount of cheese! I ordered the calzone like I did last time. I asked for jalapeños and mushrooms, and these two were included in generous amounts. My Caprese salad was excellent, with one small detail that I'd prefer: they use plain iceberg lettuce (all our salads did). I would prefer arugula or a mixture of dark greens instead. The generous amount of soft mozzarella made up for this, along with lots of huge chunks of fresh tomatoes, big black olives, a touch of basil and a drizzle of olive oil were spot on! The parking is free in the adjacent lot. Wheelchair accessible. Generally clean areas, although the bathroom could use a new paint job and a bit of a deep clean. Again, Friday nights seem to be very busy, so be prepared to wait for a table, and a loud-ish atmosphere. All the team members were working so hard and seem to have a great attitude with one another and the patrons. The dessert menu is pretty limited, but includes tiramisu and cheesecake. This is easily our go-to restaurant and worth the 40 minute drive from where we live! Two thumbs up for sure. read more

Four of us had dinner. Two different pizzas and two Stromboli. Both raved about the Stromboli. The Margarita Pizza was delish. The other person said their pizza was in need of more sauce. read more

This is the best Italian Bistro for the record this is the one in Knightsville. The other one I'm not fond of. But this one has great food, the inside is always clean and kept up with and the service even when busy is always on point. I come all the way from Georgia to get the service and food read more

This place is AMAZING!! The best true Italian food you can find down here. Their homemade bread is amazing and they have never once messed up an order even when ordering online/doordashing. The environment is so cozy and feels like you're part of the family! Even when they are super busy they still make sure everybody is taken care of. read more

Ordered take out from this restaurant and it was absolutely delicious! The store has great delivery time through DoorDash and packed everything so well. They really bring homemade Italian food to a new level! read more

To look at this place you'd think ummm I'll pass. It's located in a little shopping area the staff are super kind and attentive. It has an old diner feel to it, but it's classic Italian food. I typically get lasagna and it is yummy. My colleague had the chicken parm and lived it. read more

I used to not like cannoli but kept trying because I am Italian. This place had the best cannoli ever. You have to try their cannoli before swearing off cannoli read more

I love this place....very close to home for us near the Publix in Knightsville. Today was our first time dining in because the Italian Feast festival in downtown Summerville was overwhelmingly busy and we needed our Italian fix. We had some of the best service, quickly serviced, and the food was even better than take away. Overall we had a great lunch and will continue to come back. read more

Just great Italian eating. Friendly staff, reasonable prices. I usually have the clam linguine in white sauce. Always bar none in my book. read more

If you're from the northeast (my husband and I are from Delaware & New Jersey) and appreciate New York style pizza- this is the place for you. Excellent pizza, and my picky pizza husband also enjoyed. We've been looking for a great down home pizza place since moving to South Carolina and we have finally found a place we love. Haven't tried anything other than pizza (and a cannoli which was *chefs kiss*)... I just can't get past the pizza to try anything else! read more

Our family loves Italian Bistro's pizza. It is the best pizza around here. Every time we go, the guys behind the counter greet us like old friends. I also go with friends, to catch up with each other. No matter how long we sit & chat, we are never rushed. It's a comfortable, welcoming place to get some good Italian food. read more

First time to this location, I decided to order the Baked Ziti. Flavor was just ok but my disappointment is because it didn't look anything like it was baked, microwaved maybe but not baked. I was expecting something like a lasagna where you can cut into it but it turned out to be ziti pasta mixed with the marinara sauce and some cheese and nuked for a couple of minutes. If I go back will order a pizza. It didn't have shape of something being baked but mixed and served in a bowl. Maybe it is their way of presenting it but I am sure it wasn't baked in a conventional oven, no crust. Service was good and the place looks clean and newer than their counterpart on Main Street read more

I'm sorry I wasted 50.00 for 2 meals ( we drank water too). I ordered lasagna and my husband ordered a fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The salads were disappointing made with iceberg lettuce, 1 slice cucumber, 2 cherry tomatoes, 2 olives and a few bits of white onion. The Bleu cheese dressing was basic flavored creamy dressing- no chunks of Bleu cheese. My lasagna was not hot, I cut it in the middle and still cold. I sent it back- and they brought it back reheated. The lasagna was terrible, just lasagna noodles and a finely ground meat and melted cheese on top. No ricotta cheese in the middle or herbal seasonings (oregano?). Their red sauce is just 'ok'. The Fettuccine was 'dull' lacking in flavor. This Restaurant would benefit from a better chef, better quality of ingredients and better recipes at the very least. I understand times are tough but this restaurant needs to make some improvements. read more

Chicken Parm with spaghetti with meat sauce is the best food combo on earth!! Side salads are lame. I mean, why bother.

Food was delicious The Ambiance was a bit busy , they had a large gathering, like a party , but we were still treated nicely and with respect read more

Absolute garbage! A pizza was delivered cold with canned mushrooms and peppers thrown on top. The "owner" got on the phone and said I insulted him for pointing out that the pizza was terrible and then hung up on me. read more

So pleasantly surprised by this place! My husband and I ordered a pizza from here last night and with us being north eastern pizza snobs, we were nervous about what to expect but the pizza was great!! Great crust and flavor! We'd definitely order again read more

Always very good new Jersey pie and Italian food. Frank and Sal run a great restaurant.

First time visiting. Had a couple of friends tell me about this place. I love Italian food and also enjoy cute, quaint food places. The chicken parmigiana was tasty. I would order it again. Look forward to what I will try next time read more

Delicious food, great service, and easy seating! I would definitely recommend this place & we've been back multiple times.

Food was really good and timely! The service was good and the ambiance was okay! I would go again.

I love their stuff pizza and calzone ...Real authentic...Ambiance was a family type vibe...Overall...Great restaurant

I like to get takeout pizzas, but I absolutely am home to dine in at the bistro! The food is absolutely spot on in the services is great. I love the family atmosphere! read more

We've been there 3 times now and the food is always good and the staff have always been very pleasant. Small town mom & pop vibe. Definitely one of our new go-to's. read more

We eat here pretty frequently - which I think speaks for itself. We order pizza every time. Our favorites are the Buffalo Chicken & Hawaii Pie-O. Both are very tasty. The staff is usually pretty friendly & it stays pretty busy. If you got at "prime" dinner times, you might have to wait for a table because the place isn't huge, but we have never had to wait more than 10 minutes. The garlic knots & banzini bread are also both good. Their strombolis are also very tasty & the portions are really large. Give it a try :) read more

The food here is REALLY delicious! It is very expensive, surprisingly so, however it gives large portions. They give salad and bread with the meals, both very good. The pasta is perfectly cooked and the tiramisu is divine. However, it is hard to be a repeat customer because of the cost. I really wish they would have some more family friendly prices on their menu. read more

First time here, came in right before 8:30 as Yelp said they were open until 11:00. As we walked in there was some talking we over heard from the staff, "don't we close in 10 mins?". Right away I was feeling unwelcome. However, we sat down and were greeted by Amanda C. We asked her right way what time they close and she did say 8:30 pm. She was very welcoming and said it wasn't an issue and made sure we were taking care of. Amanda made some amazing recommendations and gave us great service. The food came out hot, quick and delicious. Thank you so much Amanda C and for those that cooked for us and welcomed us in last minute. We were in and out in 30 minutes and enjoyed it. We will be back. read more

Food is fantastic. Authentic Italian in Summerville! Service is fast and food comes as request every time. read more

Great service. Food is not up to par. The sauces are a bit runny. Their salads come with dressing packets (even full size dinner salads). The marinara is fantastic! Didn't try the pizza's but they looked good. Garlic knott's were delicious. Mozzarella sticks were better from the freezer at home. Wouldn't return for the price unless I just wanted the garlic knott's. read more

First time there I had a small pizza and loved it. So this time I went with my wife and we had a large pizza with sausage and pepperoni. I loved both times and my wife said it's one one closest pizzas to Connecticut pizza. We will be back. read more

I can't believe it's taken me so long to eat here! We went to eat on a rainy Thursday around 7:30 in the evening. It was pretty busy for a Thursday! We grabbed a seat and our server came over promptly and handed us some menus and got our drink order. My husband ordered an Italian sub and I ordered the Hawaii Five-O Stromboli. Both were delicious! I was very surprised when my Stromboli came out - I ordered a small and the thing was huge! They do have a large size that you can order from the menu, but I can't imagine how big it is compared to this "small" one! Mine had ham, pineapple, bacon, and double cheese. It also came with marinara for dipping. We weren't going to get dessert, but those cannolis looked delicious! All I can say is wow! Good thing we only had one because it was more than enough for the 2 of us! You can't beat 2 dinners, drinks, and dessert for $25! Our server was fantastic and always made sure to check on us. We had a fantastic experience all around and will be back soon! read more

As someone who has live in the area for almost 2 years it is disappointing to see the changes so fast. We used to order here ever other week or so until delivery stopped, (understandable with the need for help at most hospitality jobs). Next thing you know food was becoming overcooked, and when we called the reply was "so....what do you want" we tried again twice first time my food was not what I ordered and the other time the food had already.gone bad (not a happy pregnant wife) think I have ran out of chances tip keep your expectations low read more

I'm not sure on the service outside of the very pleasant staff from pickup because we ordered to go but next time I'd tip just for the food. We are travelers who move every three months and this pizza was fantastic. We ordered a 18 inch chicken bacon ranch and it was delicious. I hope we eat here again because it was fantastic even as a take home pizza! read more

Their food is outstanding and the owned the pizza shop by my grandparents and my mom's old house NJ and the owner Sal is a really nice guy. They have outstanding customer service and outstanding employees. read more
