I ordered the veal marsella. it was horrible. if that's the way they make it they should take it…read moreoff the menu. it was a boiled piece of veal in a soupy tasteless broth. not even on spaghetti. very disappointing. others with me, had pizza,they liked it. egg plant and chicken parm and liked it. Alfredo's pasta and liked it. so some of the food there is good. Please do yourself a favor...take the marsella off the menu it's FUBAR'd. FYI...The waitstaff were excellent and attentive. Get rid of the veal marsella,you're not making it right,you're making it horribly wrong. Its a disgrace to any red blooded Italian,never mind any customer for that matter

Marabella was recommended to me both at my hotel and by the locals in town so that is where I went…read morefor my Italian dinner. They have been in business for 40 years so that speaks to the quality too. they started in Brooklyn but are now in Washington. Marabella's has its own parking lot and a drive thru as well. Although I am not sure if it is just to pick up orders already placed or if you can order at the drive thru. But either way that would be a convenient way to pick up dinner. I dined here earlier than I'd normally eat dinner as I didn't want to miss the NC State game. I was seated in the enclosed outside dining room. I'm not sure if it is just a sun room or if it opens in warmer weather. Marabella has fresh ingredients and makes their own dough and sauces. I had already looked at the menu so knew what I was going to order as I needed some comfort food as I was in pain from my broken finger. But I was given time to look over the menu which I liked and almost went with the scampi. Warm bread and oil was brought out while I looked through the extensive menu. Another table near me ordered a pizza and after hearing the reaction to that pizza I knew I needed to try that too. So I ended up with the fettuccine alfredo as my comfort dish and then ordered a white pizza so more cheese and olive oil and garlic. I was extremely pleased with their sauce. It was the perfect creaminess and not too heavy. The portion was large too and I almost managed to eat it all as it was so good. The pizza was fantastic as well and some of the best I've had. I only had a slice or two hot from the oven but the leftovers were just as tasty. It was cooked perfectly and all the cheese just melted so good. When it was time to pay, and they take the credit cards at the table, I was told my meals had been taken care of by someone. I'm not sure who did this random act of kindness or pay it forward but I appreciated their kindness. I'm usually the one who does the RAOKs so it was heartwarming to be on the other end of it. I wish I lived closer to Marabella so might have to plan another trip just to eat here again. It is worth the drive.

So I rate all restaurants on a common scale (5 being white glove in an amazing place). This place…read moreis definitely above average but not the 5-star category. I'm updating my review from way back in 2016, to denote its still just as good and to give a shout-out to our fantastic waitress. This was actually the only place open the Sunday before July 4th, but we had been here years ago and decided to give it a go. It has a nicely done interior, a little dark-ish, with sort of old world tavern feel. Dinner was good (fish for me, pizza for my wife), and the dessert also. What made this a 4-star though was our waitress, Ashley I believe it was. She was attentive, interactive, acted like she liked being there. Plus she was fun, chuckled at some lame (funny) comments... just made you feel like family (which doesn't happen a lot, I can tell ya). Absolutely would come again, and wait for Ashley to be available.

Craving Pizza on the Island? Sorella's is a Must-Try!…read more While visiting the island, I found myself in the mood for some good pizza, so I decided to check out Sorella's for dinner--and I'm so glad I did! With its reputation for hearty, flavor-packed dishes, it was the perfect spot to satisfy my cravings. What We Ordered: * BBQ Pizza * Big Daddy Pizza * Stromboli BBQ PIZZA This pizza was a savory-sweet masterpiece! The olive oil base paired beautifully with the barbecue chicken, caramelized onions, and smoky bacon. The addition of jalapeños brought the perfect kick, while the cheddar and mozzarella created a rich, melty layer of cheesy goodness. Topped with a barbecue swirl, every bite was packed with bold flavors that balanced sweetness and spice perfectly. It was a creative twist on classic pizza flavors, and it didn't disappoint. BIG DADDY PIZZA If you're a fan of the classics, this one's for you. The Big Daddy Pizza was piled high with red sauce, beef, sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese. Each ingredient brought something special to the table: the meats were perfectly seasoned, the vegetables added a satisfying crunch, and the mozzarella held it all together with a gooey, cheesy blanket. This pizza is a hearty, crowd-pleasing option for anyone who loves a fully loaded slice. STROMBOLI This was the showstopper for me! Stuffed with red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella, the Stromboli was simply heavenly. The crust was golden and perfectly baked, with just the right balance of crispness and chewiness. The filling was indulgent, packed with meat and cheese, making it a dream for any meat lover. Every bite felt comforting and decadent--a must-try if you visit Sorella's. We opted for takeout and enjoyed our meal during a cozy movie night at our rental. The pizzas and Stromboli held up beautifully, still warm and fresh when we dug in. Sorella's proved to be the perfect blend of convenience and quality for a relaxed evening in. Sorella's nailed it on every level--flavor, portion sizes, and variety. Whether you're in the mood for a creative take on pizza like the BBQ Pizza, a classic loaded option like the Big Daddy, or the indulgent Stromboli, you're bound to find something to love here. If you're ever on the island and craving pizza, Sorella's is the place to go. I'll definitely be back for more!

We stopped at Mama's Pizza for lunch on our way headed further east on 64. I tried the Salami Sub…read morewhile my dining companion opted for the baked Ziti. My sub was definitely on the sparse side. The 6ish inch sandwich arrived at the table warm on a small metal tray. The serving of salami was skimpy; I seriously doubt that it had much more than an ounce of salami and about the same size serving of mozzarella. Despite the modest amount of protein, it really was OK. I've had better versions of this sandwich, but I've had worse too. The baked ziti showed up piping hot in an enormous baking dish that dwarfed the metal tray of my sandwich. It was easily a large enough serving for two or possibly even three. I got to try a bite and it was also OK. There was a lot of pasta with a barely adequate serving of meat sauce and there was a lot more tomato sauce than meat in the sauce. The sauce was definitely on the sweet side; I've had baked ziti many times and do not recall ever eating sauce this sweet before. Our server was not overly attentive but did eventually refill our drinks. The restaurant is clean and had a bit of a 1990s feel. We both noticed that there was pay telephone in the lobby that appeared to work. It definitely reinforced the 1990s vibe. The restaurant charges a 4% fee to use a credit card. There really aren't too many dining options easily accessible off of highway 64 east of Rocky Mount until you reach the OBX. Momma's Pizza is a reasonable choice as long you have modest expectations.

Thanks for helping us start our week out right!

Awful bar pizza. Legitimately bad…read more Ordered six pizzas, only two (cheese and cheese + sausage) were passable. The other four (especially the Prosciutto) were terrible. I love prosciutto on pizza and this was just thrown on top and was basically in spoiled, inedible shape when we opened the box. Whole pizza went in the trash. What threw us off further was that this looked like Neapolitan or at least wood-fired pizza on Ristobar's website. It's nowhere close. Even the crust was bad. Two stars and not one because the Caesar salad was OK. Won't return.

I discovered Nino's when looking for places to dine over my stay in Greenville, NC. I read it was a…read morebusy place so I made sure to make a reservation. When I arrived, I thought I was going to a fine dining establishment with the decor outside and patio. Even the chandeliers and painted ceiling when entering set my expectations high. Then I was seated in the empty Rat Pack room. It was obvious that I was exiled to be hidden away from the other diners in the main dining area. A couple did join me over an hour later. I would have been fine dining in the room to myself if the staff standing around the hostess stand were not loudly complaining about their personal problems such as their high electric bills, rent payments or needing to complete homework. These conversations belong in the break room, and not for guests to need to listen to, so much for the fine dining atmosphere. My waitress was friendly but did not go over the specials, or seem that familiar with the menu. I started with the Sicily Sunset and some bread. Then I ordered the Pear and Cheese Sacchetti. The pasta pouches filled with cheese and pears in an Alfredo sauce. It was to come with the garnish of cracked pepper, Romano cheese and parsley but that was missing. Parmesan was added at the table. I was a little shocked when my dish arrived within minutes of ordering. It made me feel like I was being rushed as I was isolated and the food came out too quickly. I do wonder if it was freshly made. I could tell they were trying to turn the table quickly as then the dessert menu arrived while I was still eating my entree. The pasta dish was good with the textures and flavor. I would have had a better opinion of the food if I had just ordered that and skipped the dessert. The dessert menu wasn't very Italian so that was disappointing. I had to laugh that the assorted Italian cookies contained chocolate chip, sprinkles, and a chocolate dipped cookie. I did take a photo of the menu, so you can read it yourself. I went with the profiterole, not realizing their version was pre-made. So they took it out of the refrigerator and served it cold. The pasty's texture was changed by the temperature and was chewy. The chocolate ganache had hardened rather than flowing like lava. The dish was not good and I didn't finish. I did mention to the waitress that it was not good and she just said that they might make it different. They pre-prepare it so it isn't fresh. For the price, the service, atmosphere and pacing were below professional standards. I do not recommend Nino's if you are looking for an upscale environment. I would not return after my experience.
