Menu   Drink menu. Italian is misspelled twice!

What can you say? First thing I ordered was a Sprite. Sorry all out. Ok. Didn't offer beer/wine. Perhaps server was under age? Check out the spelling of Italian on the drink menu. Ordered Eggplant Polatini for appetizer. Got southwest egg rolls ! What? Sent back and did get it right. Food was decent. I checked the menus and signage. NOTHING noted about a charge for using credit/debit card. But, I've been fooled here once before. So I brought Cash. Bill is given to me and shows a Convenience Charge. This is lame. I brought my cash to the register and stated I was using cash. She said ok and still stated the full amount. I said no, I am paying cash, no Convenience Charge. Deer in the headlights look. She had to ask what to do. Bill was then discounted. But really, is it legal to charge 4% for convenience charge that you are Not told about in advance?

Excited about having a new Italian and pizza option for Rincon! The staff was polite warm and welcoming when I arrived. There are plenty of seating options to eat-in here but they are also well suited for takeout. Ordering food, I probably made a mistake, this place is setup mostly for pizza it seams and the pizza options are impressive and what I saw at other tables looked amazing. I will try pizza next time I stop here. I started with a "shrimp appetizer", this did not meet my expectations at all for a couple of reasons. I was expecting whole local shrimp with the tail, I got what I would call popcorn shrimp and for some reason it came with fries which surprised me since it was listed as an appetizer. I ordered a small gyro salad for my entree. It was a perfect portion for the price and all of the Ingredients seemed extremely fresh. The cuts of gyro meat had a strange texture to me but tasted fine. I was not in love with the sauce. The atmosphere was quiet and calm and relaxing. Update 2-27-24: We have been back a few times and the product quality has been inconsistent at best. Sad that this didn't pan out.

Hard to judge on an online order to go. The listed phone number wasn't working. I so want this restaurant to do well! The calamari for $9.99 was okay. Came without any sauce. We ordered two pasta dishes for &17.99 each. Both said they came with breadsticks. There was only a small piece of bread in one of the pasta dishes. The bread was a soupy waste. The pasta's were okay but we added flavor. The staff both times I've been in seemed to be very friendly high school students. No plastic ware or napkins in the bag so if you are in a hotel or going to work, be sure to ask.

Chicken Parmesan Pizza

Second time here. Amazing again! Friendly waitress named Tori (I think it may have been Victoria) she offered to customize dishes like adding meatballs and asking if there was anything we wanted left off of the salads. Very accommodating! We ordered the Asiago cheesesteak pizza and the Chicken Parmesan with a side Greek Salad. Everything was amazing and very fresh. We cannot wait to go back again and try more things.

Ordered a hot sandwich which was overpriced and on a six inch sub. It was $11.99 plus tax. Not what I expected.

The reviews looked pretty good, and about the best Italian food in the Pooler area. So we ventured…read moreover to try it out. The building looked a bit suspect when we arrived, like it was an old Wendy's or Pizza Hut. The parking lot takes you in a one way dead end spiral so getting out involves a three point turn done in reverse when the lot is full. We sat in the car for 5 minutes contemplating going somewhere else. We finally took a chance and boy were we surprised. The food was fantastic, service was great and the portions are monstrous. Complimentary garlic knots and marinara started off the meal. The Garden Salad was $8 which seems like a lot until you realize that splitting it results in two salads bigger than most restaurants serve. The Shrimp Scampi is huge and delicious! The Manicotti was big and hearty with plenty of cheese. The Pollo Picatta was lemony and light, with tons of spaghetti and plenty of capers and artichoke hearts. Incredible meal and fantastic value considering the portions they serve. Caitlyn was our server and she was spot on with everything throughout the meal. Great job... weird parking lot and all.

Food was very good. We had Veal Saltimbocca and Veal Milanese…read more Service was very good as well. Ambiance was OK. A bit cramped and very loud. As a couple it would be nice to have a conversation without having to yell.

As a long time server, I understand most issues any restaurant, quick serve might have. What I…read moredon't understand is how the owner himself called me to inform me that the Port Wentworth location had 0 drivers and that my $169.00 order had to be canceled. No issues, tbh. I just stated go ahead and cook it, I'll do pick up instead. The gentleman was quite surprised at my response, and said it was too late to still make it as they had canceled my order before calling me. A little irritated because then I had to go back on the app and reorder 4 jumbo speciality pizzas and 40 wings. I don't see why they didn't call me first. Here's my first issue, I didn't get my 169.00 back, and still haven't yet. Said 3 to 5 business days. But now I have to buy it all over again. Then I get there, my order should be finished. They haven't even started it. I try to be completely flexible and understanding, but then I get to watch the owner who is delivering show up. And not long after, the other delivery driver shows up. So the owner lied first over the phone, and then the young lady in the front lied two times to my face. Said the owner was the only one working, she just didn't expect the young delivery driver to show up while I was in my car.

I should have just looked up the place on Yelp first to see the reviews. Placed an order through…read moreUberEats. After placing the order I got the notification that they use their own drivers (not UberEats drivers) and therefore the updates are hard to get through the app. Ok fine. I ended up calling the restaurant twice. The first time they told me the driver was about to leave. Then after 30 minutes, I called again and they told me the driver had left a while ago but that he should be getting to me soon. I asked if there was a way to share some status and they said no that they left a long time ago and that they did have one stop but should be getting to me soon. After 15 mins, I contacted UberEats directly as it said if the order was 20 mins late after ETA to get a refund. They told me that if that's what I wanted to do that they would have to first call the restaurant as procedure. They called, and the restaurant was closed. Unbelievable. If you can't handle orders through UberEats, then don't offer it.

Nonna Rosa came recommended and since we're not local we tried it. It's in a strip mall with plenty…read moreof parking. When you walk in you have to wait to be seated. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our waiter was friendly and obviously very overworked. Only 3 people were working on this fairly busy Friday night. The owner/cook and 2 waiters (who also seat, pack to go, bus, expedite, etc.). I did notice an odd smell (like urine) but no one else seemed bothered. The burrata appetizer was good and presented well. Next up the entrees. We had veal Marsala which was average and chicken piccata. The chicken piccata tasted baked not fried (strange) but the sauce was good and gf pasta was great! Lastly, the dessert... tiramisu. The waiter said it was homemade and highly recommended. It was very cold from the refrigerator but otherwise was fine. I had high hopes coming in but I'd give an average overall rating.

The restaurant was pretty busy, but they did have adequate staff available so we were offered drinks right away. The bread that was brought out was very small pillow like rectangular pieces with some olive oil and balsamic to dip in. It was cold and not very impressive. We shared a burrata and it came with four slices of tomatoes and two balls of burrata drizzled with balsamic over some romaine lettuce. It was a nice start to the meal. I had the chicken marsala and my aunt had the chicken parmesan. The portion size was adequate and her pasta and veal had a lot of red sauce on it. The marsala sauce was a bit thin, and I would've liked more on my pasta. We each had a glass of wine which was served quickly and complemented the meal nicely. The server was attentive and the food was hot. Overall, it was a good, not great experience.
