Sometimes i love when i don't check Yelp before going somewhere because i may have glanced at the 2-star rating and moved on. We ended up here at the end of a great, uncrowded day at Carowinds drawn in of course by the $5.99 buffet (with drink purchase) sign, dollar more if you just want water. As you enter there is a very attractive bar to the right and around the way a large dining area..
There were three different pastas that i thought were very good, as were the meatballs. Excellent breadsticks. The sauteed veggies were tasty too. Pizza was just average in my book. The buffet had a good selection of pizza and pasta, as well as a salad bar and some dessert breadsticks.
Our server was on top of every drink refill and quick to take away dirty plates. The kind of buffet service that deserves a good tip despite having to get your own food. Manning the buffet was a little old Italian lady who was on top of anything running low. In my head, she must have been responsible for bringing her recipes all the way from Italy.
For a dollar more than you'd pay at CiCi's pizza (i think), this place was a perfect way to fill up after a day at Carowinds. As much as you want Italian goodness for a fair price.
