“ Unbelievable! By far the best Italian food and pizza we have ever eaten. Who knew we had to come to the outer banks to experience such a wonderful meal. Portions are enough for two, drinks are top notch and the service was 5 star. Highly recommend sitting outside. We sat on the patio around 7 and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. Our waiter was also friendly, attentive and very professional. This will be a regular spot for us in the years to come. ”

“ We have been coming here for 15 years now and have enjoyed the growth in the business. The food is always amazing as it is a secret family recipe for the sauce. The staff has always been consistently nice and helpful. I always love the Seafood Diablo and my wife likes to change it up every visit. So I get to try other items. Wine list is very nice and has won awards. We do make it a priority to get here. So come on in and try some great food. It is gonna be worth the trip for a great experience on the OBX. ”
“ Easily one of the best pizzas I've ever had, and my wife's pasta was also incredible. The atmosphere was classy and our server was top notch. He couldn't have been more attentive, available, and relatable. I can't recommend this place enough. ”
“ Great place to eat and drink! Recommend! We chose to sit outside on a nice day. You can hear the go-kart track next door but it didn’t really bother us. Started with a couple of delicious watermelon margaritas and the Mussels appetizers. Mussels in the white wine broth were really tasty! For the entrees we tried a couple specials: lobster ravioli with lump crab meat and pan seared scallops with orzo. Both were cooked really well, pasta was perfectly al dente and was full of lobster and crab. The scallops were seared perfectly and came with a lime wedge and red pepper flakes. Really enjoyed it! Highly recommend! ”
“ This restaurant is a must go to. We sat at the bar for dinner and had great service from John and Tom. The food was cooked and prepared perfectly. I had the Veal parm and it was delicious. Thank you! Will surely return here again when we are in town again. ”
