My husband and l recently ate here and found the restaurant to be very nice inside and the wait staff was excellent. The FOOD was HORRIBLE! Small portions for the price and NO FLAVOR. l was expecting a rich tomato basil garlic sauce and I could not even tell l was in an italian restaurant. The sauce was the worst excuse for italian sauce l have ever tasted ..very bland..very little flavor and not much of it. l would expect an italian restaurant to have a handed down sauce from some ancestor that is awesome and considered the BEST by all. This tasted like it came out of an institution size can. We were shocked that it was so bad. My husbands meal was supposed to have a garlic lemon wine sauce and you could not even tell there was any sauce on it. No lemon flavor, no garlic flavor or visible and no wine flavor. Absolutely NO FLAVOR!! We were very disappointed and can not believe anyone would give this restaurant a good rating since ours was so bad. The bread was good though..they say it is made right there. If they are making the sauce there...they should find someone's old handed down tried and true recipe because theirs misses by miles. Get a real italian recipe and we might come back. The service and atmosphere was good. l guess now we know why we had no trouble getting a table on Friday night. WIth so many northerners moving down, there is bound to be someone that has a great sauce recipe..FIND THEM and we will come back. Frankie's on Morehead has better sauce and food. The amount of food for the price was not good either especially since pasta is a low cost food...A BAD EXPERIENCE ALL AROUND I AM SORRY TO SAY.
Pros: AMBIENCE AND WAIT STAFF EXCELLENT
Cons: FOOD HORRIBLE
