    Medium Italian Ice (Cherry + Mango combo)
    Meg P.

    The icecream and Italian ice was delicious, but the portions were just humongous, and no one in my party could finish the whole thing. Service was decently fast and the place had a very cheery and colorful vibe.

    This place is delicious! They have so many flavors to choose from and every one we tried was delicious. I got a size large which means we got served inside a souvenir koozie. I loved my almond, chocolate and coconut flavors. My husband loved watermelon and mango. The staff was friendly and wearing masks. So happy we stopped in!

    We LOVE this spot! Once we discovered it, we ended every evening there. The staff were extremely friendly. I got a different flavor of gelati every evening and liked them all. The courtyard is adorable. While we were sitting in the courtyard, four young men walked in without masks, and they were sent back out to get them. I really appreciated that! Great job, Sunset Slush!

    My parents and I have stayed at Caswell Beach the past week and half way into our stay we discovered this amazing little Italian Ice place! Their motto is "If it isn't scooped, it ain't real" and I have to agree. Their frozen concoctions are way better than anything in a cup or store-bought. They have at least 30 flavors and they've come up with several interesting combinations for them. Everything we tried was deliciously creamy and a great way to cool down during the heat of the day. My favorite flavor was pina colada! The actual place is quite small and there's no indoor seating but they have some outdoor picnic tables and supposedly free cornhole in the back. We went three times and each time there was only one employee so service was a bit slow since they had to scoop the ice out themselves. We ordered the large size which comes in a reusable Koozie cup which is actually pretty neat. The first time you get the Koozie cup it's $7 but refills afterward are $5. It may not be the cheapest Italian Ice around but it was worth it for a hot week at the beach. Really yummy and refreshing!

    I have to come here at least once (or 5) times when visiting Oak Island. Their Italian Ice is nothing like I've ever had. Wayyy better than anything you could get at the grocery store and so refreshing! They definitely live up to their popularity for sure. The staff is always so nice and helpful too! Be sure to stop by and check out all the flavors and goodies.

    Creamsicle Gelati (with vanilla ice cream)

    This is the best Italian Ice that I have found! They have many different flavors to choose from, as well as popular combinations that are sure to please everyone! They can also mix any Italian ice with chocolate or vanilla ice cream to make a Gelati. The creamsicle with vanilla ice cream was VERY good!!

    The best Italian Ice EVER!! We always frequent Sunset Slush when in Oak Island. We have had it three times this week. The flavors are great! We love the pina colada, strawberry lemonade, and lemon lime. Never had a bad flavor!

    Watermelon and cherry are our favorite picks. We love to make these adult versions by adding a little flavor of own.

    On the beach via cart (look for the yellow and black umbrella) or in the shop, Sunset Slush is by far the best.

Reservations are a must, as the restaurant gets very busy during dinner--and for good reason. The staff was incredibly friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, and the food was beyond delicious. We ordered the tuna entrée, chicken parmesan, and veal parmesan, and every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The cheese bread was a standout and absolutely addictive. We also loved the drink menu--the lavender martini was fantastic, and the holiday drink selections were a fun touch and very well done. We enjoyed our experience so much that we're already booked to return in two days. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an excellent Italian dining experience on Oak Island!

The most wonderful part of the evening was the fabulous service from Carrie. She could teach a master class in hospitality. I really enjoy the vibe of this restaurant. We felt like "regulars" even though it was only our second visit. It was busy that night but not overly noisy, unlike some restaurants in the area. Soft-shell crab with polenta was a special that night and was enjoyed by our party, as well as the carbonara, mussels, saltimbocca, lasagna, and veal piccata. All dishes were visually appealing, as well as seasoned and portioned appropriately. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is because the calamari were so tiny - like the size of Cheerios. I don't know if that's just what they got in that week or they're always that small. And there was a snafu in the kitchen and my plate came out ten minutes later than everyone else's. But we will definitely return! Thank you again Carrie for treating us so well.

    What's not to like about this place! Food was great, and service was excellent. From the moment we…read morearrived until we left, all good! The Caesar salad was classic northeast dressing, a little on the thick side, real anchovies and tasty Parmesan with olive oil just right taste. It's too complicated to go into the history of Caesar dressing and each person makes it to their own liking, but this one was simply good. Pizzas were excellent, a take like Connecticut / NY style. Cooked with starting on a screen and finished with brick (they have to crank out a lot of pizzas for take out and in dining). Dough is not bready more on the chewy side. They use very good high quality ingredients. This is not Frank Pepe pizza but a real delicious pizza at a good price. Our waitress was phenomenal so personal and attentive. The decor is charming and you can tell the place is managed with a lot of love. I admired the rose wall, flowers, linen tables, linen napkins and extra thick paper napkins. You didn't have to ask for anything. What you thought you wanted was automatically offered or provided without asking. We'd be back when in the area.

There is a new version of the menu with new items. We tried the calzone, Stromboli, and chicken piccata. It was very tasty and the portion of the food is enough for two. The only negative was that they forgot the chicken for the chicken Alfredo but the staff corrected it.
