Our bills were accurate, not easy to do with large parties with separate checks. It was amazing after a 4 hour drive and 2 hours on the fields. Highly recommend especially if you are not a large party. The food really was amazing! Thank you to the staff of La Dolce Vita!

Make sure you make reservations because they're usually very busy. As for the food, I think that this is one of the better Italian restaurants I've tried in NC. The Parmagiano Crab Dip is absolutely to die for...especially when served with their freshly baked flat bread. The pasta all'Ortolana was very well seasoned and filled with veggies. I judge an Italian restaurant by their sauce & meatballs which honestly didn't disappoint. Portion sized are generous...everyone was leaving with takeout containers. The service we had was impeccable! Our server, Madison, was amazingly attentive and efficient! This will be one of our favorite haunts.

Cafe Vesuvio always prepares pasta and pizza that delights the tastebuds! Generally I satisfy my…read moreneed for Italian food with their Chicken Marsala and actually I am not typically a fan of Marsala cream sauce, but I thought the write up on the special, Portobello mushroom ravioli with a Marsala cream sauce, inspired a mouth watering response so I went for it. It was amazing! The raviolis were tender and silky. The sauce was creamy and flavored better than many Marsala cream sauces that I've had. The carbonara was just as delicious as the times we've had before! Both dishes actually complemented the thee so we ended up sharing. Dinner is always better shared right? Mary took care of us. Well we requested her section as we always do if there's room in her area. She is one of the friendliest people in town! Environment is always great too. Jeremy sat us in a nice area where we could enjoy the evening! We recommend Cafe Vesuvio and always in our top picks when eating out.

Situated in an unassuming old strip mall, I wasn't sure what to expect. Cafe Vesuvio was a…read moresurprise! The interior was generic Italian restaurant with lots of comfortable booth seating. Service was friendly & efficient. Food was very good...reminded me of neighborhood places up in NY/ NJ with nonna cooking in the kitchen. This is a nice little gem in Sanford if you're in the hunt for Italian food.

Just tasty food, not fancy but high quality! Love the gyros…read more The subs are tasty and filling. I need to bring a friend to help me finish one. And it's always service with a smile. My favorite lunch place. It's a good week when I can get lunch there several days.

We called in a carry out pizza order for pepperoni and double mushrooms. Do you know how hard it is…read moreto actually get a pizza where you feel like they put double mushrooms on it? Well Hawkins Grill delivered!! There were plenty of mushrooms so we didn't feel like we were getting short changed and the sauce was very tasty. We liked the crisp, chewiness of the crust as well. We both agreed that next pizza will be from Hawkins Grill to confirm they know pizza! (Wish we would have gotten a photo.) The order was a carry out but from the time we called to the drive to pick up, the service was great and not a long wait at all. We have eaten in before and the atmosphere was easy going and service good. When we ate in, it wasn't super busy but the night we picked up the pizza it was so I'm impressed in their ability to serve as quickly as well a great product when they were so busy. Would recommend and we'll be back! Thank you!!
