What a great experience. I was welcomed by a host and the owner, then I sat at the bar. The staff was friendly and attentive. Absolutely wonderful. I sat next to a couple that tried the confit potato appetizer and they raved about it. I had the Incendio pizza. It has a bit of a spicy kick but is absolutely delicious! I also tried their specially canned beer, which was light and refreshing. Check them out. You won't be disappointed! read more

The fire station is beautifully restored and I'm happy to see this landmark saved. I'll call the food "a swing and a big miss". I had the Carbonara. It was so wet, it didn't hold onto the pasta. It also left a lingering "hot" taste on the tongue; black pepper was the only ingredient that could have caused that. So I assume it was heavy on the black pepper. One friend had the Bolognese and said it was good. Another friend had a pizza; the crust was soggy and the pizza was cut ... not representative of Neapolitan Pizza, something from the bio that would indicate the chefs studied this in Italy to prepare for opening Incendio. For me, I'll continue to drive to Aiken for excellent Neapolitan Pizza at APizza Di Napoli. While some have tried, no one in this area has remotely competed with them for quality Neapolitan Pizza and service at a reasonable price. The service ... one bartender (I think his name is Ryan) was wonderful ... kind, inviting, and hard-working ... aiming to please his customers. His partner, a young lady, was off-putting. Her persona was what I describe as typical "Hill" uppity. This is not indicative of the service one generally gets at a genuine Italian restaurant. Parking is difficult. While the entrance is obviously in the front and the only parking is in the rear, signage with directions would be helpful. I hope Hill Baptist Church doesn't have a problem with customers parking in their lot because the only other option is on-street and that is very limited. The price point is on the higher side, which I don't mind paying for excellent food and service. I predict Incendio will last only a year or so; I see this as one of those places only Hill residents will frequent for a while, and then move on. But in comparison, look at similar restaurants that have been in business for several years and then ask, "what do they do differently?" Will I return? Not likely. read more

Ambience. A Service. A Food. B / Drinks. A Price. A Incendio -- What's the hype?! A new Italian hot spot, opened in July 2026, with reservations seemingly booked weeks out. Naturally, Moshii had to investigate. I'm often dining solo or with one tag-along, so tonight we decided to take our chances and simply walk in to see if we could score a seat at the bar. And lucky us -- we did! As we watched other parties arrive without reservations, including families with children, the staff had to apologetically turn them away. So yes, the reservation hype is very real. And speaking of the bar: Kalah was fantastic. Knowledgeable, warm, attentive, and genuinely engaging. She not only took great care of us, but also shared the history of the building and the business. That kind of personal connection makes a dining experience memorable. I also really appreciate that the owners intentionally employ people with disabilities in support roles. It's wonderful to see a restaurant creating opportunities and making inclusion part of its business model rather than simply talking about it. Now... let's talk food. For me, tonight was a bit of a hit-and-miss. The potato confit had wonderful flavor -- and apparently enough flavor to make me eat the whole thing despite finding it a little more greasy than I personally prefer. The meatballs with shaved Parmesan and lemon risotto arrived beautifully presented, with lovely flavors and texture. Unfortunately, our seats were directly under an AC blower, and those magnificent meatballs cooled down rather quickly. They could have used a little more moisture once they lost their heat. Next visit, I'm going to ask for some hot marinara on the side. Those giant morsels deserve it! The real disappointment of the evening, however, was the carbonara with bucatini fresh pasta. The sauce itself was gorgeous -- beautifully thin, eggy and creamy. The fresh pasta was wonderfully substantial on the outside, but unfortunately several of the noodles were still crunchy and tasted undercooked inside. I felt terrible sending it back, but the kitchen agreed with the concern and prepared another one. Unfortunately, the second dish had the same issue: I found a couple of noodles that were chewy and edible, but most were still noticeably crunchy and undercooked. It was the only dish we ultimately rejected, and we only managed a few bites. I understand they are making fresh pasta rather than using dried noodles, and perhaps the pasta simply needed more cooking time. Part of me even wondered afterward whether taking it home and allowing the pasta to sit in the sauce might have helped it reconstitute. Still, for a restaurant at this level, the carbonara was the one significant miss of the evening. And yes, we were still charged for it -- which I found disappointing given that we essentially couldn't eat the dish. But I'm chalking this up to a kitchen execution issue rather than writing off the restaurant. Because dessert brought things right back around. They make their own gelato, and the pistachio gelato was wonderfully creamy. Then I went full Moshii with a boozy affogato -- vanilla vodka and coffee martini situation. Say WHAT?! The Moshii verdict? I really love the space, the history, the concept and the people. The staff were friendly, Kalah was terrific, and I genuinely applaud the owners for creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The food needs a little consistency, particularly when it comes to that carbonara. But one undercooked pasta dish isn't enough to keep me away. I'm coming back. Next mission: the house-made pizzas. Reservations are definitely recommended, especially if you're coming with a group. But if you're dining solo or with one other person, it may be worth trying your luck at the bar. Incendio has the makings of a real neighborhood hot spot. Now let's get those noodles cooked, shall we? I am a FaN... read more

Food was good but the ambiance made the experience better. Drinks were amazing, service was good considering how busy the restaurant was. We missed our reservation, they have a 15 minute grace period that they stick to. Got there 20 minutes after our reservation, glad they were able to seat us at the bar it was honestly better seating than the restaurant seating! read more

Incendio - Dessert Menu, Pistachio Gelato - Pizza Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Been to Incendio 4 times now and have had the rigatoni incendio, the sausage and black pepper pizza, and the capricciosa pizza. Every single dish was amazing. The service was always prompt and friendly, and the kitchen crew (trained personally by a Michelin-started Neapolitan pizza chef!) is phenomenal. And what a fantastic job renovating an old firehouse that was just sitting empty for years and turning it into such a beautiful space. This is the most welcome addition to Summerville in years, and I'm lucky to be a stone's throw away. Oh, and if you like beer, try the Capi Pils, an Italian pilsener from Charles Town Fermentory made specifically for Incendio and available nowhere else -- it's delicious! read more

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant for a while, but I've got to say I was disappointed. The service was amazing! The drinks were good, but the food was just ok. The pasta was under done, the sauce and meatballs weren't all that flavorful. Cool location, but food was just ok. I would go again and enjoy the atmosphere at the bar. read more

Incendio - SPAGHETTI ALLA NAPOLETANA - Pizza Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

I hesitate to leave this review because I don't want to have to wait for a table in the future! The old firehouse has been tastefully and historically remodeled. The seating is comfortable. We enjoyed the service, Kaylah was excellent and informative about the history of neopolitan pizza and the strict standards to be certified as such. The food was amazing! The pizza was just like I remembered from Naples, Italy. The homemade carbonara pasta took me back to Sienna and the veal meatballs with lemon ricotta was an explosion of flavor. We cannot wait to go back! read more

We tried Incendio on 8/25. First of all, the place looks great. They did a good job renovating and decorating the old firehouse. I saw a review somewhere else that the space was loud and too busy. I completely disagree. The ambiance was nice and the music was just audible. We sat by the fireplace. Nice and cozy.The service was excellent. I wish I could remember the woman's name, but she did a fantastic job. Attentive, informed and not overbearing. Which is surprising considering service in the Augusta area is usually subpar. We ordered the meatballs and the confit potatoes. I was shocked at how good the meatballs were. Moist and flavorful. Not dry and bland. The lemon ricotta was a nice touch. The potatoes were a miss. They were just home fries like you'd get at a breakfast diner. Greasy and flavorless. The entrees ordered were the spicy rigatoni and the sausage and black pepper pizza. The sauce for the rigatoni was indeed spicy. Which I loved. Many times places brag about how spicy a dish/sauce is and it doesn't live up to the hype. This certainly did. I felt the pasta was a little overcooked, but my date disagreed. The pizza was above average. The sausage on it was very tasty. We should have added it to the pasta. I would recommend that you ask for the pizza well done. Then we had gelato for dessert. It was delicious. They did indeed have special needs people working there. So, they are doing what they said and helping that community. The price was also reasonable. A bottle of sparkling water, a cocktail, 2 appetizers, 1 entree, 1 pizza, and 2 desserts for 112 dollars plus tip. You can't beat that. It also appears that they stagger reservations. So, as we were leaving the table next to us was being filled. That way it doesn't make it seem like we're packed in like cattle. I certainly recommend Incendio. read more

A new pizza restaurant in Augusta. Very well lit with good music and a nice fire house vibe to it. The old fashioned was good. I had the incendio pizza was quite delicious and spicy impressive wood fired pizza with a thin crust. The reason for 4 stars is the pizza is cut into 4ths and I personally feel that the soft crust doesn't support a slice that large. Will be coming back again. read more
