The bread on the pizza rolls was fresh, light, fluffy and the marinara was perfect- not too acidic or too sweet. The Marsala had fresh garlic, shallots wine sauce. The loaf of a sweeter French style bread came with the Marsala and was fabulous.

We always crave the crab crakes, which are a special treat when they have them. We had the Gorgonzola gnocchi, which just melts in your mouth. They are so creamy. We both had the lobster tail entree.

An enjoyable Italian meal in Waynesville NC. This is a small restaurant but it's nicely designed,…read moreclean, and owned by a good guy. I was there at an odd time so me and Valé had some excellent conversations. He definitely cares about his customers. For the Chicken Parmesan and pasta, I finished the whole thing. No problem. Tasty sauce. The bread was good and many might love it but I prefer traditional Italian bread. This is subjective. For the wine, I usually don't care about what kind of red wine I'm drinking but that was the best red wine I have ever had. It's called Montepulciano-D'Abruzzo. That's a lot of letters I'm not used to typing. I mean, I'm used to the letters but not in that order. Let's just call it Monte. This was a great meal and the vibe was incredibly warm. You're going to feel very welcomed here. I even noticed people coming up to Valé to hug him, thank him, etc. This is true Italian nature. They are going to feed you well and make you feel like family. Definitely recommended.

We took our neighbor as a thank you and Christmas. We had…read morereservations and were seated right away. Good wine selection. We ordered the garlic knots as an appetizer and they were not good. They were very tough and hard to eat. The marinara sauce was delicious. I ordered veal parm , neighbor had chicken parm , and hubby had veal Marsala. The veal and chicken parm came with so much mozzarella cheese it covered up the taste if the veal. The pasta with marinara was delicious. My hubby said the veal Marsala was tough. The prices are not cheap but the portions are generous. We might give them another chance.

Great meal and great service!!!…read more The staff could not be more friendly!! After a couple of "nice" meals around the Brevard and Sapphire area we kind of lowered our expectations of the local fare. However we were definitely pleased with our dining experience. While we didn't have a huge meal, the meal we had was delicious. The bread was warm with pesto olive oil for dipping. I had the Eggplant Rollatini and the Gorgonzola Salad. My dining partner had the perfectly dressed Caesar Salad and Linguine Alle Vongole. To finish it off ,they had homemade apple strudel with vanilla ice cream. Highly recommend Osteria del Monte!!!

Our friends are regulars and had a reservation but she was a bit stand-offish and I think we would have been turned away had our hosts weren't regulars. The restaurant itself wasn't crowded and has nice outdoor seating. Our waiter was nice and informative, he acknowledged that half-portions are available which is nice in an Italian restaurant. I had chicken piccata, I found the sauce very good but the chicken under the sauce was bland- no seasoning. The cannelloni was tasty. Our hosts enjoyed the fish. A caveat- always ask the price for the off menu fish specials- it's often expensive.

My family and I had the privilege of dining at Ristorante Paoletti twice during our recent stay in…read moreHighlands. The restaurant is located on the main street that runs through the town making it easy to find. Be sure to make a reservation as it fills up quickly. The staff we encountered during both visits were friendly and professional. The food was exceptional each visit. The eggplant parmigiana starter was tender and so flavorful. Three of the four of us ordered it on the second visit as it was that good. The beef carpaccio and meatball starter were also enjoyed. For entrees we had the trout Frances, stuffed halibut special, the gnocchi special, the mushroom tortellini and the linguine pescatore. All dishes were delcious while the trout Frances, mushroom tortellini and linguine pescatore were our favorites. It is worth mentioning their gnocchi could not have been better prepared as it was like a fluffy pillow as gnocchi should be. Had it been paired with the truffle sauce from the mushroom tortellini then it would have been perfection. For dessert, we sampled several ice creams, sorbets, the tiramisu and the Blueberry Coconut Layered cake. The raspberry sorbet and cappuccino Oreo gelato were the fan favorites for the dessert course. Ristorante Paoletti receives our highest recommendation as it is on point with offering a positive atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food.

We tried Capri's for the first time today and it was kind of ying and yang. We ordered the…read morecalamari and it was excellent 4.5. Our salads were also very good and the pepper Parmesan dressing was delish. 4.0. The waiter, great guy and great service recommended the "Tour of Venice". And it was pretty disappointing. The manicotti had a good filling and good sauce but the pasta was doughy and gummy 2.0. The lasagna was dry and over cooked and there was no recognizable ricotta in it adding to the dryness. 2.0. Lastly the chicken parmigiana was bad. The chicken was so dry and stringy I could not swallow it, I had to take it out of my mouth. That said we'll give it another try. The spaghetti and meatballs looked good and the onion rings looked good as well. I think the Venice trio had been sitting around and all got over cooked. If it is better next time, I'll amend my review.

There was a wait as they seem to be well know for having great food and service. The atmosphere was more intimate and inviting. The waitress was very kind and friendly. Entrees come with Italian baked bread and salad and my partner's came with soup as well. The bread was fresh and tasted great the salad had many toppings and the house made Italian dressing was delicious, nice to dip the bread in as well. Then came our entrees, I ordered the tortellini it was cooked well with lots of melted cheese on top holding in the sauce and fresh baked heat on the inside. It was very filling, only wish the inside was more creamy seemed to be mainly tortellini with not much sauce. But overall very good. Would recommend for a date night or family celebration. Great little Italian spot with great service and well made courses!

We ordered a large meat pizza, a medium vegetable pizza, and cheesy bread. The subtotal was $41.97. Now, start adding on the fees, $5.00 delivery fee, .84 credit card fee, taxes, and tip brought it up to $60.00. We like supporting small business owners in our town. BUT, We could get pizza at any of the franchises close to us for 1/2 the price. COUPONS WOULD BE NICE!!
