I will preface this by saying this has always been our favorite restaurant in Aiken. A "go to" for…read moreevery big event. Went tonight to see my daughter off to college. Our kids first time there and we were SO EXCITED! First off, they lost their liquor license. Not a big deal, just means beer or wine. Would not have even cared. Second, we looked at the menu for almost 15 minutes because our server was awful (in a restaurant with 15 tables and three servers). And had made up our minds. She arrives and begins with, "hello, would you like flat water or sparkling water?" - verbatim. We say, flat, thanks. Comes back with that in a refillable open bottle (important) and we are ready to order. Son orders a pizza (this menu is only one page long with maybe 25 items, all encompassed). She says, "we only have pizzas in the winter". (Literally half the menu is pizzas) We order mussels app, same answer.... We finally figure out what 10 items on the menu are available and order four of them. Takes forever. Understandable for quality, but during this experience it feels annoying. Finally comes. Haven't seen our server since we ordered. Order more bread and more water from the food runner. Server checks on us with STACKED EMPTY PLATES and just walks away. Server finally visits and comes with bill and tries to just take my card and put it in mobile reader. I know this is odd but we are all becoming used to it so I try to be "cool". Ask to review receipt and we have been charged for two bottle of "still water" at $8 each. Revert to original greet, which was verbatim. No suggestion of tap water or no water choice; just still or sparkling. On top of terrible service for a $hit ton of money, I am not having it. Question server and she offers no solution. Suddenly Michael, who is an amazing chef and business owner - albeit arrogant a$$hole - comes storming out of the kitchen and tells me he teaches his servers to upsell!! Love that journey for any server, but this was NOT upsell, this was a scam.... He immediately writes my name on a post it note and tells me I am no longer allowed in his restaurant. So, there's that. Food - amazing. Buyer be ware... Such a shame....

Romaine lettuce salad with a chopped hothouse tomato for two at thirty-two dollars?? Servers who act like automatons and who are instructed to NOT ask diners how their meal is after serving ??

Granted, it's tough to find properly prepared Italian in the South though next time we want Italian, we'll cook this type of fare at home for a LOT less and not deal with the noisy atmosphere and the nasty owner AND absurd prices.

We were then seated in the small side room to the right that has 3 tables. Everything started off ok, then soon declined. We felt like we were forgotten because we were seated away from the center area. Service became worse. Our waitress, Paige, was nice at the start, but we felt as if we were being rushed. We were there on a Wednesday evening and there were plenty of empty tables. We were very easy and only there for 1 & 1/2 hours. We felt like we were bothering her. We asked three times (2 different employees) for wine/water refills, which we waited 15 minutes for. Just as we were getting up to find someone to cancel them, they were brought out in a hurry. The wedge salad is good, very small. A small, adorable, well behaved dog was sitting in a chair at the table next us. Her head rested on the table with her owners. She was let down and went over and vomited between our table and hers. Numerous employees noticed it and walked past/over it several times without getting it up. It continued to sit there as we ate our meals. Then, an employee stepped in it and continue on as if not to see it. We really wanted this to be great and see that the new ownership was going well, but we were terribly disappointed. We unfortunately will not be back. For the price of food and atmosphere, The Willcox is a much better option. I truly do not like writing such a negative review, but hopefully they will improve the issues we in countered tonight.

We were driving home to NYS and stopped at this restaurant hoping for a good Italian meal. We…read moredidn't get a good meal we got a great meal from start to finish. We spent a month in FL and there were no good Italian restaurants, and we agreed that the only way to eat Italian is to stay in the Northeast, so we gave this place one last shot and we weren't disappointed. This is old school Northeast style Italian food, I had eggplant parm and my husband had chicken parm. It came with a side salad and the served us the best garlic/EVOO infused bread we've ever had. Our waitress was kind and friendly, we had a lovely chat and we found out she was from NJ and she agreed with us about Italian food down south, except for this place. We highly recommend this great restaurant if you're looking for a real Italian meal down South.

Salads were excellent and well thought out. Meatballs were moist and made in a real Italian fashion. I saw some massive pasta and veal dishes being served and they looked amazing. They make an amazing Manhattan, like your looking at Bergdorfs. The tiramisu was so intricate and solid...amazing. No ones perfect. The bread was Italian approved, crusty crusty with a chewy, meaty interior. But cut in cubes like a Greek Orthodox altar bread.(anybody get this reference ?)

People complain about it being too soggy, undercooked, or lacking toppings--absolute nonsense. This is a perfectly authentic Italian pizza. If you know good food, you know this is the kind of quality you usually only find in top-tier restaurants in major cities like LA or NY, or back in Italy itself. It is absolutely worth every penny. Sure, you can go to a chain and pay half the price, but you're just paying for unrisen dough, low-quality ingredients, and zero wood-fired aroma. To top it all off, our waitress was great and the pizzas came out incredibly fast, even with the place being packed. This is the real deal. And no, they didn't pay me for this review LOL

Service model is a disaster - greeted from behind a plexiglass barrier (Covid is long over), no paper menus mean consumer need to try to read on phone which is a disservice to both diner and restaurant - no clear understanding of available offerings - no eye to key items, promotional add-ons, appetizers...forget desserts. You have to get up to order including water and wine...no service utensils for antipasti - how do we get it on to our plastic plates? - No table touches for how'd dinner, clearing or reorders of wine...a big miss for restaurant and diner. Cheap plastic plates and silverware - wine glasses have "Christmas themed etchings - huh? No details of wines offered though good quality and value at $10. Manager/owner is behind counter making pies...staff in cut-off shorts and sloppy. No sense of hospitality. Overall - a $100 bill for a very poor "fast casual" experience. Maybe okay for take out but pies are $16-21 for 12" with NO ATMOSPHERE (Did I mention have the store room is in dining room - nice) and NO SERVICE and NO HOSPITALITY.

Instead of regular spaghetti noodles like other Chicken Parmigiana or Parmesan, this one had penne, which was definitely one of my absolute favorites . The texture and taste were definitely up its alley, and the breadsticks were just as excellent. Also, the fried cheesesticks first time trying was so good and personally from experience that not all the mozzarella sticks from other restaurants are as good as this. The service was great, and the ambiance was just as great here. I'll be sure other this again in the future. Btw you can find this restaurant on Ubereats if you're interested in trying it out.
