    Very great little spot in Greenwood. Mediterranean flare (Italian, Greece). Had the Penne Al Vodka with chicken. Came out piping hot and with a large buttered bread. It had a ton of flavor. The beer and wine is limited only my brands. They have all the staples for each category you need. Very friendly staff. Great little gem. The pizzas looked amazing. I was jealous I didn't order one as I saw others being delivered

    We didn't even know this place existed. It's well hidden off the main road, but so worth the visit!! We were met with a very nice and informative waitress. The food was fabulous! It was flavorful the plates are loaded with food when they come out. The restaurant is clean and well laid out. The bathrooms are also super clean. We took home four additional plates and the food was fresh and delicious. They offer a drive thru for those of you who don't have time for a sit down dinner in a restaurant. Will definitely be back!!

    Gyro Greek Salad

    Good Mediterranean food and service. Stopped in for dinner. We decided to split a gyro Greek salad and Chicken calzone. The gyro in the salad was very flavorful. The calzone was huge and tasty as well.

    Let me start with the server we had was very nice and super accommodating and honestly she deserves a better place to serve at because the food we had was a monstrosity. Call Gordon Ramsey because this was a kitchen nightmare. My fiancé and I agreed the best part of the meal was the wine we had. The garlic bread was hardly even cooked and slathered in butter not toasted in the slightest. We both ordered pasta and mine should have came with penne but we were told that it was too late for them to make penne at 7:30pm so I had to have spaghetti or fettuccine noodles with my penne all vodka with chicken. On top of that our pasta came out extremely watery and tasted worse than a jar sauce. The chicken was yellow in the most unappealing way. I took two bites and could not eat anything more. Definitely save yourself of the trouble and don't eat here. After we made them aware we were unhappy, the chef came out to say he could make it with penne and when we declined he shrugged us off like shit on his shoe. We were told we could come back for a free meal but there was zero voucher to indicate we were told this. Very very disappointed. DO BETTER.

    We are visiting in Greenwood and stopped here because it's close to our hotel. We're so happy we stopped here. We got chicken shish kabobs, which were yummy! Very light and tasty. And our server, Caroline, was super friendly and helpful.

    Shrimp penne Rose' sauce

    Had a nice meal here . You can tell The owner /chef has pride in his product . I Had the shrimp with rose' sauce. Table had calzones and lasagna and chicken parm as well. 8 jumbo shrimp in my pasta dish. Great flavor and a hint of spice. Not hot , but a little spicy. More than enough for food for 2 meals. Chicken parm Was a lighter version not heavily Breaded , but delicious. Garlic bread nothing to remark about. A sub roll toasted with some garlic butter . Kate was beautiful and lovely . Only constructive complaint is she left dirty plates in front of us for almost half hour. Her co-worker that night didn't seem to want to be there either. But 4 for sure. We would go back mostly for the food. Be advised they only serve soda. Tea and beer. No wine. You can bring your own for a $5 corking fee.

    Shrimp Fettuccine in Rose' sauce

    Never thought I would find a Mediterranean/ Italian restaurant in the middle of a small college town, but here is the Olive Branch. Hands down the best I've ever tasted. From the bread sticks to the Hummus everything was superb. Me and my family showed up at 6pm. Our waitress was extremely nice and attentive. We ordered cheesy bread sticks as an appetizer. Beef , Lasagna with meat sauce, Shrimp Fettuccine in Rose' sauce and a personal pizza for my youngest daughter. The beef was seasoned to perfection and a tender medium cooked steak. Greek Salas was fresh and great. The Lasagne was just outstanding as well as the Shrimp Fettuccine. Nothing about this meal could be complained about. From the service to the speed of the kitchen getting us our meals. We were done boxed up and paid the bill in less than a hour. And the price? For the portion sizes to feed 4 people and beverages the cost was under 90 dollars This will be our go to spot every time we come to visit my daughter in college.

Big difference they are run by Italians, this place isn't. I came in expecting great things, it has the right patina on it to be a good Italian joint. It came highly recommended by the staff of the Hampton Inn. It looked like it had been there for 30 years or more. Again, it was highly recommended and within walking distance , what could go wrong? It took them about 20 minutes to wait on me after I got seated. I should've left, I would've had a better meal somewhere else and wouldn't feel guilty about writing the this review. I gotta say, once they got started the food came out within moments. The toasted ravioli was a little on the loose side. Like maybe it should've been in the fryer a little longer. It was cheese ravioli with a sweet cheese inside it. I'm going to say the fryer was not hot enough to do the job. The breading was falling off. It was not crispy or crunchy. The shrimp carbonara was well-made, except it wasn't carbonara. Absolutely not a single piece of bacon. And it was a little bland. And I had to ask for cheese. Timing is everything. Literally, I was starting to eat my toasted ravioli and here comes the main dish, 3 minutes tops. There are no half portions of toasted ravioli. So be prepared to eat a bushel of toasted ravioli. Hint, hint, it's perfect for two people, maybe three in a pinch. I was just over it and ate the not-carbonara and, they tried really hard to make up for it. In the end, they did the only thing they could do, they heavily discounted the meal. I would definitely eat there again and even take my wife. I think that it wouldn't be a bad place to even have a group, they had a group in the next room and they were living it up. Sounded like they were having a great time. And maybe that's part of the problem, not enough staff for a busy night, maybe the kitchen was backed up? I don't know, I'd give them another shot, they have been there for a long time for a reason, and are obviously a popular spot I think I had a rare mediocre experience. The manager and the server were genuinely shocked at the level of ineptitude of the cook.

The chef and owner, Vinnie, is an authentic Italian cook and cares about the dining experience of each and every patron, thus RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED!!! It's definitely worth it as the dining experience rivals pretty much any other you have experienced. Meals are freshly prepared in view of the customers and the same day market staples experience only adds to the special atmosphere. Each menu item is prepared with love and attention so you get a better plated meal than could ever be represented on the menu. Vinnie does have a small staff so although you get special treatment, it might take a slight bit longer than normal but it is worth the wait. I cannot say enough about how good the food is or how much Vinnie cares about your individual satisfaction but once you experience it you will definitely come away impressed. The pasta sauces are awesome and help to properly accentuate whatever protein you choose so feel free to experiment a bit and get out of your comfort zone, you might find a new favorite. This is one of my favorite places to eat and I cant say enough good things, so just "try it, you'll like it (a lot).

We took our time settling in and started with the mozzarella and focaccia (so good!) and the meatball--because you can't visit an Italian place without the essentials. For our mains, we ordered the short rib ragu and the verde lasagna. The lasagna was especially memorable--you could really taste the fresh spinach, which gave it a light, refreshing flavor. To top it all off, the wonderful Mr. Flannegan came out to sing "Happy Birthday" and brought their amazing cannoli. Such a fun and memorable touch to an already fantastic meal!

It was very clean, and the atmosphere is one of its strongest assets. We sat outside overlooking Fluor Field, which made for a really enjoyable setting. The outdoor patio was comfortable, and the new awnings provided great shade, making it easy to relax even in the sun. Service was excellent from start to finish. Attentive, and professional. No complaints there at all. For drinks, I ordered a carajillo, which was very well done. The food is where things started to fall short. We began with the long hot stuffed peppers. The dish only comes with two peppers, so the portion felt a bit small. The sausage itself was decent, but it was severely lacking seasoning, and the sauce didn't add much to elevate it. The verde lasagna followed a similar trend. The pasta itself was clearly good quality, but the overall dish was underwhelming and lacking depth of flavor. The scallop dish was the best of what we tried. The scallops were cooked perfectly, the asparagus was fresh, and the risotto had a good texture. Unfortunately, even here, the dish still felt like it was missing seasoning and bold flavor, which was a recurring theme throughout the meal. Given the upscale setting and prime location, expectations are understandably higher and so are the prices. That said, the portion sizes and overall flavor didn't quite justify the cost in my opinion. Overall, a great location with excellent service and ambiance, but the food needs more seasoning and depth to truly match the setting and price point.
