I can't believe how many products they have and you can taste them! Who knew balsamic could be so delicious and so versatile! We also went over to the beer section and were delighted to find so many craft beers made by a lot of NC breweries! They even sell singles so you can try them. We had an absolute blast shopping there, and enjoyed the friendly, helpful and engaging employees. Im so glad they aren't far from home so I can visit again!

The frozen food case was pretty limited. I did find some beer in the back, and a quart of milk. There was no butter or margarine, and no prepared food or sandwiches. I bought some broccoli salad at the deli counter and found some granola. They did have a case with some good looking beef, and some fresh vegetables. So if you are going to grill or cook, they may have what you want. If you are looking for something prepared, you will be disappointed.

This outlet mall has changed in the…read morepast few years, so I was surprised this shop has actually been here for a few years and there are no reviews. This is actually my third time coming here. Every time I've come in has been a pleasant experience. The store itself is filled with gourmet food, wine, beer and even has a nice cigar section. It's also nice that they serve coffee drinks in the back of the store that you can actually sit and have a drink at the mini bar area. Very cozy and cute! However, I'm sure I've had too much coffee this morning (I'm still drinking an iced coffee from my last stop), so no more coffee so my heart doesn't explode. I settle on a few unique seasoning packs for $20 and am out the door before I decide to buy up a bunch of their delicious chocolates like I did last time I was here! Lastly, thank you to Maria for her prompt and friendly service!

Do not believe the bad reviews.....I am sorry about the owners health but they have a wonderful and knowledgeable staff to help you. Tari helped me today and she was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. This isn't just about olive oil but also balsamic vinegars and pasta and olives and local products such as Life is Gouda and Speedys and soaps and more. They will help you by letting you try some of the olive oils. These bottles make great gifts for you or a hostess gift or for any foodie in your life. LIke me. I will be back to splurge a little for me. Today was a gift for someone moving into their 1st apartment. You must have a good bottle of EVOO. Definitely stop in for a unique gift. I love my wine gifts but this is a bit different and will last longer than a bottle of wine.

For the first time ever, we had some disappointments at Black Pelican. We have lunch or dinner…read moreduring most of our twice-per-year visits to the area. It has always been good, and we definitely won't let this deter us from returning. Ms T had her usual Shrimp basket lunch. The issue was that the shrimp were not cooked through. They were still translucent. We totally understand not wanting to overcook shrimp, but these were not quite done. On the bright side she commented on how good the slaw was. I have been on a kick to try barbecue at restaurants that are not barbecue joints per se, to see if I can find some hidden gems. For example, both Sam & Omie's and Wanchese Marina serve a good barbecue sandwich. Black Pelican, at least on this day, does not. I must say, the serving was huge. This was more than enough for two meals for me. The barbecue was dry and not well flavored. The texture and flavor was more like dried out beef that has been over-roasted. This is not something I would order again here. All that being said, I am leaving the rating for Black Pelican as it is because we have always had good meals here. I accept that it can't be 100% perfect every time and sooner or later we will run into something that is less than stellar. We will continue to return. I just know this not where I will have barbecue and we are sure the shrimp thing was just a one timer.

Lots of fresh spinach sauteed in olive oil and garlic with pillowy ravioli filled with a smooth cheese filling, I had sfogliatelle for dessert. The sfogliatelle (shell-shaped pastry) is worth a trip from Kempsville. In addition to the great food, I have to send a shoutout to Erin. I was meeting a friend, she was late, not reachable by text or phone, which is highly unusual for her. After a half hour wait I was convinced my friend was having a health issue. I thanked Erin, explained the situation to her, and left to drive to my friend's house. Needless to say, five minutes later (still in the parking lot), I got a message through Messenger that my friend was safe inside the restaurant. Erin volunteered her personal phone to help us out and was very kind through the whole debacle. Almost needed a daytime glass of wine to recover! (no go - driving) The restaurant is very cozy and welcoming. But I get distracted on my way to the table by the amazing pastry display! And they're not just pretty, they back it up with good taste.

Luckily…read moreVino is just a short walking distance from Andiamo and such a wonderful alternative that fully satisfied my cravings for some italian food! I thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Vino. This is a great spot to take a date for a slightly fancier italian vibe and some good wine! They have booths, tables, and bar seating. The restaurant is open concept so you can see everything that's going on! The foods are served with such beautiful presentation and they taste very good too. We had the burrata for the appetizer and capellini pomodoro with meatball add-ons. Both were very delicious. The pomodoro sauce was nice and tangy but not overly acidic. And the meatballs were full of flavor and just the right saltiness for me. But if you're the type to add more seasoning, the tables come with pepper and salt so you can season to taste! The waitress we had was super friendly. Checked in on us only on occasion which was nice because my friend and I were able to chat at length without interruptions! :)

Once while dining in we had the arancini ball and it was ice cold in the middle, other times our food tasted just luke warm. Today we gave it another shot and ordered delivery after a long travel day and we were so disappointed, paid $10 for a ceaser salad and it was very small with 5 croutons and looked like the lettuce was just poured out of a bag you'd buy at the grocery store. The pastas were okay but nothing impressive. Expensive for what we got. I don't love leaving bad reviews but now that this has happened a few times here I feel the review was warranted.
