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 ?? Asked for a meal to take home and were told "We don't prepare meals to go". " WHAT?? Where's the Osso Bucco, the Braciole? Fiorentina? 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.

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 ?)

Listen up, everyone! As a 100% Italian, I'm one of the few people here qualified to give this place…read morea proper review . 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

Jersey Italian by background. Family is from the Napolitano area (San Fele, small county town)…read more Food: I had the antipasto, which was tasty. Husband had a pizza which he said was good just slightly soggy. Overall, pretty decent. Ambiance: Low key. A few too many rules and upcharges ($6 for any substitutions etc) on the menu for my taste. However, I respect any small business's decision to run their establishment the way they see best and fit for them. They are, at least, up front about it. Service: Hard to assess because it isn't traditional service style. You are given a table then handed plates and silverware. You go up front to order etc. Suggestions: I know I read somewhere that they haven't found a gluten free dough that's up to their standards ... but if they do I'd love to give it a go. Please let us know!
