    There is just something joyously intimate about this little place despite the coolers of prepared food on the far wall. Service and food always a " 10" and the best fried calamari in Beaufort County. When we want to really relax with no pressure and inhale Italian everything, this is fast becoming our " go to" place. Nothing pretentious here, just a very lovely aroma that begins with garlic and more garlic....

    This is one of my favorite places to meet friends for lunch because it's a lovely cafe with indoor/outdoor seating. The menu has a wide range of offerings. My go-to favorites are the Caprese Salad, the Margherita pizza and the Meatball or BLT sandwich. Everything is super fresh and prepared well. The service is outstanding and friendly. The smaller venue compared to the larger restaurant next door offers a pleasant lunch spot for conversations. The market section of the restaurant of all that they sell is a great bonus!
