Not great. Food mediocre, service fine, prices good, ambiance/decor not great. I wish them well as they have not been around long; there is room for improvement- especially the food which is not bad but not notable, then all the other pieces will fall together.

Over the past several years, we have eaten in and had delivery and carry out from Pizza Hut. We were always pleased with the food, service, delivery, etc. Today, 9/8/16, I tried to place an order online, but the store was not taking online orders. I tried phoning in my order but no answer. I googled Pizza Hut (thinking I might have an incorrect number) and it indicated Pizza Hut is closed. I don't know if this is a temporary closing or if it is closed for good. You might want to call before going though. Does anyone have any information on the closing?

This is the first time we dined in the new location. The food is as delicious as it was over in the MHC location. I had shrimp francese and it was very good. Mike and Andy had some sort of platter (mamma's platter?) with chicken (mike) or veal (andy) and sausage and meatball and pasta. The serving was HUGE and Mike brought half of it home. This restaurant is the only one in the area that serves delicious Italian food.A few other comments. We dined here on Xmas eve and arrived right around 6:00 pm and the place was dead. Three people (employees?) were seated at a table in the back and casually got up when we entered. It was a little odd and prompted me to ask Are you open? Any who, they were and we were seated. We ordered our drinks (iced tea) and when the server brought them she automatically brought straws. When we told her we didn't want the straws she seemed a little confused and chuckled like it was a weird thing to say. really???? you have a beach restaurant and you're not aware of the environmental issue that is caused by plastic straws? you're not aware that several restaurants in the area are proud of the fact they only serve straws upon request? I could go on and on but I suggest you look into this and hopefully get on board with the movement to eliminate the use of plastic straws as well as any other one time use plastic.

We ordered Stromboli's from this resturant, after we found out the resturant at our hotel closed at 9:00. The Stromboli's were delicious. This is a must. You won't be let down.

This restaurant is new since the last time we visited Morehead City and we're so glad we tried it! Excellent food and service. Large wine selection and the restaurant is larger inside than it looks from the outside. Larger groups can be accommodated... I think there was a party of 14 when we were there. Very nice addition the the local restaurant scene.

Pescara is a chef-driven restaurant that incorporates a lot of local seafood and makes all of our food from scratch. We strive to serve food and drinks that rival that of the best fine dining restaurants, but in a casually elegant environment. We are loca

Tonight after another bad experience with this restaurant, I have to ask myself why do I keep returning to a place where certain staffers exude an attitude that implies they don't care about your business and would rather you were not here. You'd think they would give us some credit for giving them chance after chance after prior issues with both the food and certain rude staff, but nope. Even the manager has attitude. They should be glad they're operating in Eastern NC because doing business this way would never fly in a large city.Over a year ago, a hostess practically berated me for being a mere 10 mins late for a reservation. If you read other reviews on here you will see I'm not alone in getting this treatment. After that, most people would never return. I was told that person is no longer employed here so I thought I was safe from hostess hell. Yet, once again there was an issue with another hostess. This time, I called to make a reservation for 2. I called back to increase it to 3 and specified outside (trust me you don't ever want to dine inside this establishment. You will come out more frozen than Carbone from Goodfellas). On the phone after putting me on hold the hostess said "okay I got you a table outside, no problem see you soon". Simple enough, or so I thought. Then we get there and a stone faced woman (not sure if she was the same one I'd spoken to) said, 'We can't sit you outside because 2 tables already got seated'. There were tons of empty tables outside and it was 45 mins till close so already this is ridiculous and makes zero sense.I reminded her of our convo and she, as if rendered temporarily deaf, asked me to follow her to an inside table. When I asked what the problem was, she said the manager only allows 'certain tables' to be opened up. Again, totally baffling as they had plenty of seating. Finally after I asked to speak to the manager (who didn't come out) the waitress came over and said, "sorry about that misunderstanding with the hostess" and put us outside. Is there a drastic shortage of good hostesses? Funny how restaurants in Beaufort don't seem to have this issue, yet it's a pattern at this place. The servers here are always sweet and polite - shame that doesn't seem to rub off on everyone else.As for the pizza, most people would not come back after the first mishap. But I know they are capable of good pizza because I've had it here before. In the past, it has arrived under cooked so I learned to ask for it crisp from the outset. Sometimes even that wasn't enough to get a fully cooked pie that didn't have toppings sliding off. One time they left the cheese off without telling us. So this time I once again asked for crisp and they bring pizza that they should have been embarrassed to serve. Way over cooked, barely any sauce left that hadn't vaporized and the edges black. The rest of the crust insanely crisp and hard like an old saltine. The manager comes over. She never smiles and forget any apology. I explained what happened and how I asked for crisp because in the past the pizza had to be sent back for being under cooked, and in a tone dripping with attitude she says, 'yes I remember you' sending it back or something like that, like how dare I ever criticize anything this place serves. She explained that the oven is now 'fixed' so that it no longer produces under cooked pizza. How would I know that? We were NEVER told there was any problem with the oven last summer when the pie was under cooked, which is very strange.She asked if we wanted another pizza. The newbie at our table,who had never been here before, at this point didn't trust that the pizza here is ever good so she declined. Her choice. I finished the overdone pie because I didn't want to wait for a new one. But here's the thing - if the oven is now 'fixed', why didn't the server say so, and advise me that asking for crisp now would result in a way overcooked pie?? If the manager has such a great memory of past under cooked issues that we've had, why didn't she say anything? When she came over, she said 'well you asked for crisp' - again with this attitude like it's our fault. I am not clairvoyant regarding your oven issues. Expecting pizza to be neither under or overcooked is normal, and if tiny Caribbean islands can get thin-crust pizza right, why can't this place? I remember an email I got from the owner of another place down here (in Beaufort) that we've been going to for years. Normally it's great but one night we had a problem. The owner could not have been nicer, apologizing and promising to make it right, offering us a gift certificate and saying she'd look into the issue. Contrast that to this place. I have NEVER gotten anything close to that kind of response from them no matter what the issue. They clearly just don't care. Honestly, the whole look and tone gives off the message of how dare we come back here, which I find baffling as I've never been rude to anyone at this restaurant. I simply want the pizza to be as good as it was the first time I ate here, but I now realize that must have been a fluke. (One other note about the pizza - in the past it has been drizzled with pesto - this time, nothing. No consistency). The attitude seems to be that if you have a bad experience here, it's your fault, not theirs. It's a shame because it's a cute place in a good location, but I think I'm going to have to wait and hope they get new ownership and/or management. It's too bad the owner of that Beaufort restaurant can't give lessons to these folks in how to respond to customers. They badly need them. Sad part is they don't realize it.

If you're used to NY, NJ, or Phila pizza, lower your expectations. That said, its okay. Didn't try their other stuff so I can't comment on that. The pizzas are big, so you get a whole lotta mediocre. But usually a nice staff, and its just about the only game in town.
