I found this absolutely magnificent restaurant walking back from the beach. A small, but charming and romantic fine dining establishment for sure. The food is genuine Italian, seldom found in the south, with a great selection of meat, seafood, pasta with many options including vegan. The wine list is long and diverse. They have gluten free pasta available, and their garlic bread served while waiting is remarkable. The staff well trained, hospitable and professional. Amazing meal and experience. They also have an upstairs for catered events or large parties. I can't say enough wonderful things about it. I will certainly be back and bring others..

This place was absolutely amazing. The service was quick and amazing, and the staff was really nice. It was a bit busy, but they were still quick and nice. And I can definitely understand why it's so busy. The food is AMAZING, and there are so many options to pick from. It was probably the best breakfast I've ever had! And it was filling, too! They do have some gluten free options, too, although their kitchen isn't 100% gluten free, and so some allergens might get in it. They do say this on their menu, and I was basically just rephrasing what they were saying. I also recommend trying their hot chocolate. Their hot chocolate is AMAZING, AND it's fancy to top it all off! It even comes with whipped cream in a fancy mug! I also recommend trying their sweet treats meal. You can choose to have three pancakes, one waffle, or a slice of French toast, and then you can choose a topping. The toppings are really good, and I'd definitely recommend trying the waffle with the s'mores topping. The s'mores topping adds graham crackers, a bunch of bits of Hershey's chocolate, chocolate syrup, and marshmallow syrup! It's so good! It's so good, if I could, I'd even rate this five MILLION out of 10. Five stars, and I would definitely recommend eating here.

Service was fantastic. The pizza was very good. I haven't eaten here in a while but I will definitely go again next time I'm in the area. They also have gluten free options and dairy free options. That's something we will need next time.

Cauliflower pizza crust for those that need gluten free is legit. Crust is ok but the toppings are excellent, so makes for a decent pie. Loved their red sauce. I had the Old Macdonald with chicken, bacon, onions a f goat cheese. Super tasty. My dad had the pepperoni and sausage. Sausage is sweet and very good. Their 10in pies are a good size for one. My mom had some left. Wings were phenomenal!!! Had the African Berbere which might squeak into my top 10 all time. It’s a dry wing and cooked perfectly. Also had their Swahili hot piri piri, which they say is their hottest. It’s above average heat at most. Slight runny nose and lips tingled a bit. Not for amateurs but for those that like heat it’s good. The wings are a nice size and come right off the bone. Location is right off the beach and it’s a small place that’s tucked between the road and a parking lot. We sat outside which was ok. Likely gets packed in the summer but they offer take out too. If you love pizza and wings, I’d highly recommend.

Very good Italian food and their service is outstanding. Don’t be fooled by the location. Their food is worth a visit. Veal saltimbocca with gluten free pasta was superb. Their garlic knots were loved by the people that could have gluten. Lobster ravioli was solid. Eggplant parm was well done too. Good selection of many Italian dishes.

Fantastic Customer Service. We had a member of our party with celiac disease and we were worried about cross contamination, the manager went above and beyond to get her fresh food and made sure she was well stocked! Food was ah-mazing by far! But they totally rocked customer service! We WILL be back and will tell all that we know to come here! Thank you so much!

Pretty good BBQ. I had the BBQ Pork, Brisket, Baked Chicken, Green Beans, and Brunswick Stew. I had the lemonade which was good. I am gluten free so I'm glad I was able to have a choice in what I ate. Decent prices and decent serving size.

We did take out smoked wings and sides. Everything was delicious and they double checked to make sure we knew which items were not celiac friendly. All wing sauces, the smoked wings, and most of the sides were gluten free.
