Quaint small town Italy type Restaurant / feel.
We thought the food was good. I had Spaghetti & Meatballs, salad, dessert, wine. A safe dish when visiting new places.
Overall, a good experience. (Not great or negative.)
We would visit again.
Thank you 😊

This is a small but elegant restaurant yet everyone was in casual attire. The waiters are very friendly and really hustle. The food was incredibly delicious, with an Italian flare. The stuffed salmon served with fresh vegetables and pasta was the best I have ever had!

The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was so awesome! We showed up not knowing we needed a reservation as we are not from NC, but the chef agreed to seat us anyway. The service was 5 star from start to finish. We had the stuffed salmon and the crystal scallops and both were divine!

Amazing meal! The staff & chef were very gracious! The food is made from scratch each day. All vegetables are fresh and the meat is cut daily. I can't wait to return.

If you are going for anything other than the bread and house made avocado ranch pick somewhere else. Chicken fettuccine was good, the chicken was tender and sauce was creamy but had to dig out two full chunks of garlic. Glad I found them before eating them. The stuffed salmon was super fishy and just tasted off. The spaghetti with meatballs tasted like noodles tossed in canned plain tomato sauce and the meatballs were grisly and tasted frozen. The steak was tough and chewy. Our whole party of 5 were disappointed for the price of this “fine dining Italian restaurant”.

I decided to surprise my wife for her birthday by going to Goodfellas by Chef Santos. This was my first trip there after years of having my family hype up the restaurant.
The business was busy, so we were patient even though the wait staff didn't seem to want anything to do with or for our party. After waiting for almost 2 hours, I lost my cool and demanded an update. We were informed something had happened in the kitchen, they "just forgot to tell us". Our order hadn't even began the process of being prepared.
The positive is that I was told about the incident in enough time to get my family to a restaurant that actually wanted our business without having to settle for a fast food drive thru. Birthday festivities saved.
For what it's worth, it is nearly impossible to undo a bad first impression. I left there apologetic to my family and furious with the staff.
Definitely NOT a "plus ten do recommend" experience.

Amazing food and super friendly staff. Different menu regularly. Great Salmon, Delicious Filet Mignon, Unbelievable Scallops, everything is delicious, you can't go wrong. Full bar, if you would like a drink with your dinner. Very nice place, 5 star fine dining, but there isn't a harsh dress code. A Reservation is a good idea. Great for Date Night, a dinner with friends or supper with the family. Children's Menu is great too, same menu as adults, just a smaller portion. Best restaurant in town!
