Anthony the owner is from Naples , Italy. He is a great cook and an even better person. YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE. NY NJ people in NC this is back home stuff. In many ways a tad better. This guy takes NO SHORT CUTS when he cooks. All of the food is good. I specifically love the veal and their pizza is very , very good. The service is excellent. The place is spotless. SECRET- If their is something on the menu that you do not see, or you want something made special, tell him and he will make it for you. ie- Broccholi Robb and sausage. Madone, can he cook.
