I think now…read morea large is like 2197 hard together and eat anymore used to you could go there and eat for under $20 now it's over $20 to eat there. I know that I know the owner. He's a good guy him and Franco his father built that best is up from the ground up the very good place to eat but for me I can't afford together and eat anymore and I just went there yesterday to eat and it was $18 and some change for pizza now it's $21 and 97.$1.97 I believe the prices keep going up everywhere. People is gonna have to start cooking their own own food at home so hope just don't discourage nobody from going here eating but I gotta I gotta lay off quit going here so much cause I can't I can afford it but I think a pizza should not be over $20. Happy holidays and hope everybody has a wonderful day.

It took us a while to our sandwiches (4 cheese melt and steak melt) but the staff were very patient and answered all our questions. We decided to eat outside and our food was delivered with a smile. Bread was thick and nicely browned, like Texas toast. 4 cheeses included pepper Jack which was a surprise, and may have been mentioned. That cheese was also in the steak, and that was fine. Steak was strictly ok, not a lot of meat taste but nice consistency. Added mushrooms were plentiful and tasty. Both sandwiches were large enough to fill hungry travelers. Overall I'm glad we stopped and tried Sun-sational. If we once again find ourselves in Whiteville I would stop and try something else, because all the sandwiches looked creative and a good value. Recommended!

To Whom It May Concern,.. no stars. but I had to add one (sadly)…read more On September 24, 2025, my 90-year-old Native American mother and I visited your establishment, as we've done weekly for some time. We typically use the drive-thru, park, and enjoy our meal together in the truck. It's a small tradition that means a lot to us. On this particular visit, we ordered our usual items and requested they be toasted and heated. After paying, the young cashier instructed us to circle back through the drive-thru. We complied, even though there were now 3-4 cars ahead of us. Oddly, the car directly in front of us was not asked to circle around, which raised questions about consistency in service. After waiting over 25 minutes, we returned to the window and asked again if the sandwiches had been properly heated and toasted. The cashier assured us they had just come out of the oven. We parked and began to eat. My mother immediately noted her sandwich was cold. I checked mine--same issue. Neither sandwich had been heated as requested. I walked inside to explain the situation and requested a refund. The older woman behind the counter, who appeared to be the manager, refused, stating, "We don't give money back." She then unwrapped the sandwiches, touched them, and offered to reheat them. I found this deeply concerning--placing outside food back into a kitchen oven is a serious sanitary violation. She also remarked, "Restaurants don't give money back," which I found dismissive and inaccurate. I've traveled the world and dined in countless establishments--many of which prioritize customer satisfaction and would have handled this differently. Still, I remained calm and returned to the truck to assist my mother inside. Once inside, the manager's demeanor shifted noticeably. Despite our polite insistence that the sandwiches were cold, she continued to claim they had been properly heated. My mother, a proud Native American woman, softly reiterated that they were not. We again requested a refund and prepared to leave. At that moment, a gracious Black woman seated nearby approached and offered to pay for new sandwiches. Only then did the manager agree to issue a refund. I thanked the woman sincerely--her kindness and courage to speak up made a difference. There are four key takeaways from this experience: Sanitation matters -- Reheating returned food in a kitchen oven is unacceptable. Respect your regulars -- You never know who your loyal customers are or what they mean to your business. We will not return -- This experience was disappointing and disheartening. My mother summed it up best: "Son, remember to use a long-handled spoon with some folks." Gratitude to the woman who stood up -- Her empathy and action were powerful. She is a Queen. This was not just about cold sandwiches. It was about dignity, respect, and how people are treated. I hope this letter encourages reflection and change. Sincerely never going back.

We never did get the waters we asked for, but our pizza and chicken Gorgonzola were excellent...even on the wobbly table from which we ate!

Adelio's held up solidly for a last minute luncheon table. We all ordered a wide range of offerings, some with a crisp salad others opted for the steak house fries. Server was slightly above average as she sauntered over to our table for beverage orders. Now the feel of the restaurant approaches light industrial, or perhaps a former vaulted bank lobby. Truth be known, we managed to overstay our welcome - had to unlock the front door as we exited this spot. They did hit a home run with their Italian sausage sub smothered in a rich tomato sauce with just a perfect touch of oregano & garlic. Would I return? Sure if driving through the GOAT's hometown again!

Awful bar pizza. Legitimately bad…read more Ordered six pizzas, only two (cheese and cheese + sausage) were passable. The other four (especially the Prosciutto) were terrible. I love prosciutto on pizza and this was just thrown on top and was basically in spoiled, inedible shape when we opened the box. Whole pizza went in the trash. What threw us off further was that this looked like Neapolitan or at least wood-fired pizza on Ristobar's website. It's nowhere close. Even the crust was bad. Two stars and not one because the Caesar salad was OK. Won't return.

My grandfather is on hospice and is close to the ends while my mom and grandma have been taking care of him. On Mother's Day, we visited to help and had a pretty rough day. Before we left, we wanted to give my mom and grandma a nice meal for Mother's Day. We called in two ribeyes with potatoes, salad and bread. I did ask if they could take extra care of the order and explained our situation so they knew how important this meal was. Not only was the absolute perfection, they made sure we had extra bread and butter, not just a small piece for them to split. The attention to detail to make sure this important meal was able to transport and still be perfect was something that many restaurants don't do without a request, but you can tell that they give this level of detailed attention to every order. Inside the restaurant, we watched as they took the same level of care with every dish. This level of customer service alone is enough to warrant return business. The quality of the food is an added bonus at that point. 10/10 go here if you are in the area!

We tried Luca Italian Chophouse for dinner on Good Friday. Our stuffed banana pepper appetizer was excellent, with 3 large and moderately spicy peppers stuffed with sweet Italian sausage, served with a tomato sauce and topped with Ricotta. It was a very tasty appetizer. We split a small pizza for dinner. It was about 10" as specified with a fair amount of crust. The pizza crust was a little yeasty for my taste, but it was very good and I liked the crispy crust bottom. Toppings were generous and were of good quality. It was plenty for two people. Emboldened by the first two courses, we tried the cheesecake with caramel sauce for dessert. It turned out to be a small individual cheesecake about 4" in diameter topped with strawberries and caramel. It was OK but over priced at $14. The crust was too soft and flavorless although the cheesecake itself wasn't bad. The strawberries weren't of the best quality and should have been left off. The restaurant is definitely going for the upscale Italian feel and generally succeeds. Our server was friendly and very helpful, but was exceedingly slow. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised with Luca Italian Chophouse. It's definitely worth a try and we will probably eat there again the next time we're in the area. And by the way, the Easter Bunny was making its way down Main Street as we pulled out of the parking lot
