Call ahead to get your name on the wait list, it's a must. Excellent food though it's a loud place to eat thus fine for kids.

Matthias

We enjoyed a great evening with lovely service and amazing food. While everything looked great and all friends were happy, I have to admit that the chicken parm probably looked the best... ????????????????

If it's too crowded , get your name and cell phone number on their list and then go down the street to the Crepe Place for a drink.

This Place is Incredible Its packed Daily. I had the Short Rib Ragu last Week That was Very Good I dont Order Any Pasta unless Made special. then I Went Back a week Later Had Their Lasagna

Emma Taylor

The black truffle is phenomenal. The staff was attentive and friendly . For an Italian food joint in SC, the prices are fair . You come in hungry and leave full. Worth every penny!

Melissa M

Call ahead. The wait can be long, but so worth it!! Prawns scampi and black truffle gnocchi were a hit! We ate here two nights in a row during our trip.

Caprese salad is a must order. Best creamy mozzarella !

The black truffle stuffed gnocchi with Gorgonzola sauce and filet mignon !! Also great fresh fettuccine

Jessina Collins

Go for the homemade pastas and the filet. Many locals love this place, but personally, I don't get the hype. It's a good restaurant , but not great.

Went to try for one of the best tiramisu for dessert . That place never empty took 15 to get seat at bar
