Not fancy interior but clearly a family owned restaurant that takes pride in the quality of their food and good service. In a town that has restaurants that are essentially devoid of character, this place is worth a visit.

Gloria Pizzuti has brought a taste of Italy to Coastal North Carolina. Food is amazing with generous portions of authentic Italian cuisine. Any veal dish is delish. They make an amazing mixed seafood dish which is served in a homemade boule witch is cooked in garlic butter and then filled with fresh shrimp, lobster, scallops, and mussels in a champagne... More

There were a few tables filled, but the dining room was probably 30-40 percent capacity when we arrived for our 8:45 pm Saturday night reservation. Traffic trailed off while we were there.

The food was fantastic! The portions were large, and if it takes a little longer it's because everything was homemade & prepared fresh. The service was both friendly & professional. The wine list was great and reasonably priced. I have been in Jacksonville 3 years & this town is in desperate need of restaurants just like this...Family owned & operated,... More
