They started us off with a prosecco shot on the house, which was a nice welcome. For starters, the whipped ricotta and goat cheese was a standout. It even won over my daughter, who said, "I've had goat cheese before but this is the first time I've liked it." For my main I had the Garlic Chicken. Creamy, rich, and perfectly done. It hit every note I wanted. The rest of the table worked through the Honey Garlic Shrimp, the Milanese, and the Lemon Basil Pesto, and everyone was happy. For dessert, the Dessert du Jour was a limoncello cake that my daughter absolutely loved, and my other daughter was stuffed but somehow still found room for the Cannoli from the Cannoli hole. Our server Taryn made the whole evening. Attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without ever rushing us. We will absolutely be back. Especially for Lasagna Sunday. 5 stars.

We have our regular order, dozen oysters and the shrimp po boy, so when our server Alex came over, we just asked for those items without looking at the menu. A few moments later, Alex came over apologized and said they just switched to the spring menu and the Po Boy has been swapped out. We were disappointed but didn't think too much of and replaced the Po Boy with more oysters. The GM came over and said the Kitchen Manager heard our situation, had the ingredients to make the sammich and wanted to make it for us. We thanked her but declined their offer. It really wasn't a big deal to us. When Alex brought our oysters, she again asked if we wanted the Po Boy and this time we relented and got the sammich. It was a good decision. It was awesome. The service went above and beyond and that's why we'll keep going back.

A Hidden Gem in Greenville!…read more This is hands down the best mom and pop Italian restaurant in Greenville, South Carolina! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and you can tell it's family-run with pride. I ordered the veal Parmesan, and it was absolutely perfect--tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. My wife had the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, and she couldn't stop raving about how creamy and rich the sauce was. Every bite was full of flavor, and the shrimp were fresh and perfectly cooked. We'll definitely be coming back! Highly recommended!

The hostess greeted us with genuine…read morewarmth and guided us to a table even though we didn't have a reservation on a busy Thursday evening with the Mauldin Farmer's Market in full swing. The indoor acoustics allowed for easy conversation and the background music complements the room. Tavola is quickly becoming one of our favorites. We love the setting and the food. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and beyond helpful guiding us to the Fruitti di Mare appetizer which was amazing..and the cocktails were the best I have had in a very long time anywhere. Being a bourbon fan I couldn't resist trying the Molly's Moda Antica and my wife had a Mediterranean Mule. We had a fabulous dinner. I tried the Branzino seafood entree which I had never heard of, but it was delicious. My wife had the Pappardelle pasta. Next visit I think we'll try for an outside balcony table or enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the open air bar seating. Good service, nice setting and an interesting menu with great food!

PROS: - Food quality and authenticity…read more- Server hospitality CONS: - Crowded seating - Hostess efficiency - Wait time Tavola starts with a plot twist: an 8:00 reservation that magically becomes 8:15 thanks to a hostess who apparently ghosted our existence. Not exactly la dolce vita. Thankfully, carbs save the day. Everything was house made. The handmade pasta was made with flour flown in from Italy! I had the casarecce which had light and well-balanced bacon and lemon flavors. My date had the the "whole" branzino, which despite described as "whole" came already de-boned and without the head. It was crispy, golden, and serving main character energy with its unique presentation. Frutti di mare was... there. I didn't think the flavors were anything to write home from Italy about. Though, the presentation was impeccable, I must admit. Whitney, our server, deserves a standing ovation! She was part waitress, part Italian food narrator, and made every dish sound like it had a backstory which honestly just elevates the whole experience. And the lemon cheesecake is worth saving room for. Flavors were bright, dreamy, and worth every calorie. My only regret is skipping the house-made focaccia.

It was a quiet Sunday night when we got there but it did get a little busier while we were there. We started with the mussels appetizer, then I got a Caesar salad and the short rib rigatoni and my husband got the prosciutto pizza. The flavor on the pizza with the Calabrian chili was so good! He got a couple of cocktails as well that he really liked. We'll definitely take our kids back soon to try more pizza. Our server was attentive and very friendly. We won't hesitate to go back with the whole family.

I came through the door and a non melanated person comes in after me...I walked up to the counter and the person behind the counter (who SAW me walk in first) goes straight to the non melanated person first (who came in after me) and helps them...once that non melanated customer leaves the person behind the counter then turns and walks back to the stove and starts vigorously stirring the pot as if he doesn't see me standing there. I'm left waiting there until the trainee goes to the back and gets someone else who was VERY pleasant and helpful. I was about to put this establishment on my " Non-Melanated Do NOT Disturb or Give Them my Money" List!!!! Because first of all Sir...I came in first and I was the first one at the counter. You saw me come in first...you looked right past me and didn't make any eye contact. If I hadn't pre ordered and paid my food I would have walked out. And honestly I'm not one of those people who makes everything about skin color but this was obvious! He could have EASILY said..."someone will be with you shortly", or even "HELLO" ...if it wasn't for the guy who came out from the back, who may have been a manager I would have given a one star but I didn't run into this guy the first time and the food is good and taste fresh. I'm only giving two stars because of that particular employee. I didn't get his name but he was cooking,

The salad was great. It had mozzarella cheese , tomatoes, pepperoni, black olives and salami. The Greek dressing was great. The pepperoni pizza was so-so. The sauce and cheese were tasty but...there was way too much raw flour on the bottom of the pizza crust which gave the pizza a weird taste. I hope this was just a mistake and it is not always like this. I saw a lot of people ordering the pasta at lunch time. I will try the pasta instead of pizza next time we go.

Moretti's is a quaint little spot just off I-85 in Greenville, South Carolina. My mom and I stopped…read morein on a Friday around 3 p.m., and honestly I wasn't that impressed. I've heard the place has been under new ownership within the past year, and it definitely felt like it might still be going through some growing pains. The restaurant wasn't busy at all except for a few regulars at the bar. It seemed like the regulars were getting plenty of attention, but service for us felt a little slower and less attentive. I ordered a personal pizza -- the Italian Flag -- and it took at least 30 minutes to come out, which felt pretty long considering we were basically the only people seated outside the bar area. It honestly made me wonder if the order might have been forgotten at some point. That said, the pizza itself was pretty good once it arrived. The flavors were solid, though I think it could have been a bit better overall. Our waitress was also very nice and friendly, which helped the experience. Overall, it was an alright visit, but the long wait time made me less enthusiastic about the place. Hopefully things improve as the new ownership settles in.

When we arrived the host asked if we had reservations as they were booked for the evening. It was kind of funny because it was empty at the moment. We didn't have reservations so they offered the bar inside or outside. We chose inside. We were outside all day and needed a little cooling off. The restaurant itself is very nice, maybe a little elegant looking inside. Outside is like a party zone. Large green turf area for corn hole, large bar, outdoor seating everywhere. Some under cover and some open to the weather. There was actually a group of young women having a farewell party. So yeah, party zone. It didn't take long for the restaurant to get full. All of the reservations arrived. It looked like a crowd older than us. I guess there was a show or concert they were all going to. Not sure who. The bartender served us waters and we declined alcohol. Wife ordered some pasta with a pork based sauce and an egg on top. We couldn't pronounce the name of the dish. Sorry. I orders the spicy sausage pizza and extra Parmesan cheese. While waiting for our meals, we enjoyed conversation and watching the restaurant fill up. When our food arrived it looked so good! The artisan style pizza was absolutely amazing. The base was a red pepper paste and a lot of spicy sausage. The wife's pasta was handmade linguine noodles with ground pork sauce and a fresh yolk on top. We were very pleased with the flavors and textures. Both dishes were excellent. We enjoyed our time here so much we forgot to take pictures. There are a few other Italian restaurants in the area, we just randomly chose this one. We enjoyed this restaurant and would probably return, but definitely interested in some of the others. This place is worth a try.
