I am not really into infused olive oil, so I primarily buy straight up olive oil here. They have 3-4 straight olive oil options (e.g. Spanish, California, Greece) which are very good. You can ask for samples to help you choose. The quality of the products are very good, which is why I buy from this place. Note, they are a little high, but again the quality is very good. Discounts for military personal and if you buy 3 bottles. Cash, plastic and Apple Pay accepted.

The woman working there was helpful and kind. I really enjoyed their olive tapenade and that is what I purchased. The balsamic vinegars are extremely sweet. Too sweet for my taste.

This place has been on my list for almost a year and it now has my little Italian heart…read more My daughter and I walked in around 1pm on a weekday, tried to wait until the lunch rush was over. It's spring break and azalea fest...so that worked out perfectly. We were greeted at the counter and the nice young gentleman asked if my daughter could have a cookie. Sure! Giant chocolate chips, so good. I ordered and they even offered me a coffee while I waited. I chose the Haley on a long roll. Nice crusty bread, fresh mozzarella, turkey, arugula and balsamic. Honestly, haven't had a hoagie that good in years. We also had their pasta salad, equally delicious. Plenty of seating inside, with a lot of cool photos on the walls. It felt just like being home. Can't wait to go back!

Amazing! Wilmington has amazing food but this tops the cake! It was our second visit. Bruschetta…read moreand appetizers were amazing. The pasta was unbelievable (I am not a big pasta person). Chicken was so so tender. Then the in house dessert with coffee. Poetry in motion. Other restaurants could and should learn from cousins. They have their Friday and Saturday night 5-6 course dinners down to a science. Just so efficient and friendly and delicious and awesome. See you in 11 months!!

Manna made my wife's birthday dinner a memorable evening from start to finish…read more A special thank you to Wm, who helped coordinate everything leading up to the dinner. We had hoped to surprise my wife, but she figured it out the night before. Wm was just as disappointed as I was, but stayed in touch throughout the planning process and made sure everything still went smoothly. The attention to detail and professionalism were greatly appreciated. Our server, Jeffrey, was outstanding. Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and never intrusive. He kept everything moving at the perfect pace and made our entire table feel well taken care of. Our group ordered several different dishes, including the Arthur Ave. beef rib sugo with cavatelli, the Cacio Me If You Can house-made spaghetti with mushrooms, cheese, pepper, and pine nuts, and the Rural Swine featuring North Carolina pork. Every single plate was excellent. There wasn't a bad meal on the table. The wine selections paired beautifully with dinner, and the complimentary olive oil birthday cake was a thoughtful touch that ended the evening perfectly. The restaurant itself deserves recognition as well. The atmosphere is elegant without feeling pretentious. I especially appreciated the warm, darker interior with exposed brick, comfortable seating, and a welcoming feel. It has character and feels inviting rather than the typical bright white subway-tile bistro that so many restaurants seem to imitate today. The dining room was comfortable, the bar was beautiful, and even the restrooms were spotless and well maintained. Seeing the AAA Four Diamond awards displayed made perfect sense after experiencing the restaurant firsthand. Most importantly, we spent a wonderful evening celebrating my wife's birthday with good friends, and Manna provided the perfect setting for those memories. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Amazing food. Upscale yet chill vibe. Great mocktails. We will be back…read more Didn't plan in advance so we were waiting when they opened as website mentioned they take walk ins. So glad we did. We were welcomed in and enjoyed every dish we tried. Menu changes daily no changes. Sit back and enjoy:)

5 star plus! It was my partner's birthday and we were in town for an art show and were looking for…read moresomeplace special Circa 1992 did not disappoint! We shared a bottle of Whites Bay Sauvignon Blanc. We mentioned to the waitress that it could have been a touch colder (we like it icy) and after pouring us a small glass each she took it back to the blast chiller to cool it down more. It came back cooler and we put it on ice at the table. One of our favorite ways of eating sharing small plates. We started with a dozen oysters (6 from NC and 6 from SC). They were very good and the sauces that came with them were a nice compliment. Next was a nice arugula salad with some goat cheese. It was perfect for the 2 of us. Then came the "mains". We had Octopus with polenta. Not tough or chewy and the polenta was a nice compliment. Mussels in a nice white whine sauce were nice an garlicky and the bread that came with for sopping up the broth was perfect. Final "main" was beef tartare with a marrow bone. My partner does not like marrow so it was all mine and it was spectacular. Finished the night with a mini creme brulee that we shared. It was served in a little demi cup and it was just the right size bite. Our table was on the 2nd floor and it was a great atmosphere. Even though it was full, the room was not too loud that we couldn't have a nice conversation. Here is the best part. Our server, Nikki, was one of the best we have had at any restaurant. A little personality, just attentive enough and brought out our dishes just as we had asked them to come out. Couldn't ask for any better. Was our experience cheap? NO but if you have a special occasion or just want to treat yourself go to Circa 1992!

We ended up sitting outside because they didn't have seating available. Ended up waiting 34 minutes after ordering to remind the waitress to check on our food. She let us know it's going to be another 15-20 minutes because the kitchen was backed up. Which is pretty wild because all we ordered was burgers and fries. All in all we waited for our food for about an hour. Should have called beforehand to price check it because it's 100% not worth the price. Should have just cooked out on the bbq. I ordered the "Hot Mess" burger because it had decent reviews. The burger was decent size with a tiny portion of fries on the side. The service was mediocre, felt like the waitress / bartender was just damage controlling the small amount of tables in the entire establishment. On top of it all the ice tea was too sweet, we exchanged it for a water and still got charged. Overall, would not recommend, it was an absolute waist of money and time.

I got a beer at the bar and the bartender was also super helpful got me a local beer and it was excellent!

ANY and every time I get to Wilmington I will stop here We even wondered if they would ship meatball sundaes with dry ice that is how good they are. Sorry Im not much of a photographer so no pics from me.

The atmosphere and ambiance is rich with beautiful wood work from years gone by. There is a terrific beer selection and full bar. It is about three levels above your typical bar fare. The staff is always friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Don, the owner is a regular presence. The man cares about the food, the establishment and his staff! Erin is the longtime bartender and bar manager. Delightful. We are always greeted with a warm smile and Don usually drops by to say, "Hi." The Rueben is probably the best I've ever had, the Meatball Sundae is my wife's favorite and is wonderful. The Fish and Chips are perfection and they serve a dynamite Greek Salad. We have seen the pizzas but have not had one yet. It's definitely on the list. If you want a great dining experience in a historic bar, you should definitely pay a visit to FAT TONY'S ITALIAN PUB!
