Unfortunately this area is not known for great pizza. We are originally from the NY metropolitan area and good pizza was readily available. New York pizza is one of the better pies in the area. If you specifically ask for crisp and well done you might get it, although not always . The sauce is fairly good . The personnel are friendly and efficient.

IT IS NO NYC PIZZA !EXCLAMATION !I was promised the world by a local friend who assured me that NYC pizza NYC Pizza, but alas, all I got was pie-in-the-sky, my oh my !More exclamation. Bland sauce, light on the cheese, crust paper thin and crispy as a crisp cracker, small, noisy and cramped dining area, cold environs, (probably HOT in the spring/summer), dark inside, dank so much the place did stank of stale beer in the rear, flavorless salad, expensive food, lots of nerds outside waiting for pizza who just LOVED to puff puff puff away on cigs and joints......... BUT........the service was great, though she, our server, did lie a white lie when she told me that our Pies would be flexible, bendable, hot, fresh and tasty and flavor-fully delish............oh boy and oh girl was she ever wrong to the tune of a big fat bil and a deceitful pizza joint song ! More exclamation.I'd look around and about elsewhere before dropping my dollars at this dump, my friends......until then...........Good luck finding great pizza at this establishment. .

They offer fresh breads, pastas and sauces. It is a shop to pick up your choices and then take them home to warm them up.

Cheap Seats in Bluffton never disappoints. I have visited on many occasions, and have also utilized their delivery service. I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience. A few days ago, Ryan promptly delivered 2 delicious pizzas that arrived when they said they would. We visited last night and listened to Fishwhistle, a local funky band who were playing outside. Just a fabulous vibe. Family friendly, great outside space with picnic tables and a stage for entertainment. I recommend Cheap Seats without hesitation.

A friend recommended we eat lunch at Upper Crust since I hadn't tried it. The menu was interesting and I settled for the Chicken Red Pepper Wrap. Very good and the wrap was pizza crust! My friend went for the Shrimp Salad which was excellent! She highly recommended the pizza so I will return to try it out!

Upon entering we were greeted at the door by the owner who told us of their restaurant. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable and the food was wonderful. Started with healthy cocktails, then onto the delicious calamari. I had the crab stuffed shrimp while my wife had the halibut - both delicious. Although we were both stuffed we made room to split the tiramasu served with complimentary Cappacinos. From beginning to end a great dining experience.

Wanted to grab lunch after checking out the Hurricane Preparedness Expo at Home Depot and Giuseppe's came to mind. I love the one on Hilton Head so decided to give their Bluffton location a try. The staff was friendly and attentive. I had the Onion Mushroom Steak and Cheese Hoagie. It was packed with tender and tasty meat, fried onions and mushrooms for sure. You get to choose the type of cheese you want and it came with a choice of fries or pasta salad. I had enough left over to bring it home for my husband to have when he gets f home from work. Very yummy!Thanks for the great review!

We've had dinner at Nonna Rosa before with some service/server issues, but have never really complained til now. Our server, as it's listed on our receipt, since he never told us his name, as they usually do, is G. Graziano. We had a reservation for 6:15 on Saturday 9/7, waited about 10 minutes to be seated. Got the seats along the banquette, very small tables for 2 and too close to other tables on either side. Bread came out fairly quickly. Took a while for a server to come over to take a drink order, and when asked if we wanted wine, he took away our wine glasses and disappeared. Waited a bit more, then he came over and asked if we had any questions about the menu and we said not really, and he was about to leave and we called him back and said that we wanted to place a drink order. Grey Goose martini straight up w/olives on the side for me and hubby wanted a Bullet Manhattan straight up. Waited about 15 minutes, watched our waiter serve other tables, take orders, walk in and out of the kitchen numerous times and ignore us. Finally got his attention and asked about our drink order, was told in a curt manor, that the bartender is working on it. So he marched himself over to the bar and voila, came back with our drink orders, but not what we ordered!! Husband's manhattan was on the rocks with ice clearly melting. Again, the waiter just put them down and proceeded to walk away, and we had to call him back and say that it was not what was ordered, he wanted it straight up. At that point the waiter got an attitude and leaned in and said, you could say please!! Well how about the waiter saying that he's sorry, he's the one that should know what we ordered and didn't care that it wasn't correct. So we waited for the right drink and I didn't taste mine til hubby got his. But when I did finally taste it it wasn't Grey Goose martini, it had a thicker consistency and a flavor that I couldn't put my fingers on, and also I had gotten blue cheese olives on the side with no toothpick, in a shot glass. I've gotten olives on the side before and they're 3 Queen Pimiento Olives slid on a toothpick. Oh well.... it tasted good, so I didn't complain, didn't want to get the waiters nose out of joint anymore than it already was. The table next to us had mentioned to us that they felt that we were being ignored and not served properly or efficiently!! They had the waitress we would have liked. That just boosted our feelings about that even more so if another table recognizes that. They felt bad for us. We had just received our drinks and waiter wanted to take our order. Told him that we weren't ready yet. Eventually we did get his attention when we were ready and we place our order. Hubby ordered the eggplant rollatini appetizer, pear and gorgonzola salad and veal piccata. I ordered the caesar salad w/anchovies and the sea bass special. We waited and waited and our salads came out first, delivered by someone else who then said the eggplant rollatini will be right out. Now who on God's green earth wants a hot dish sitting there with your salads. Not only that but the tables are so small there was no room for it anyway. Told her we wanted to wait til we finished our salads. Had figured the appetizer would come out first and then salads. And also told her not to fire up our entrees since we still had the appetizer to eat. Ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio which came promptly. Also noticed that we had paper napkins, which was unusual, while all other tables had the cloth ones, so we had to ask for them. Now the other table next to us, a couple, called over the waiter and asked if they could buy a bottle of wine to go. I think that's against the law unless you have a special license for it. And the liquor laws close liquor stores at 7 p.m. and they're closed on Sundays. He brought the bottle wrapped in plastic bag with another bill for it ad the walked out. Meal ended, asked for the Limoncello Cake to go, which we have had before and it's really good. Got it and the bill. I was charged extra for the blue cheese olives which I had never ordered, oh well. And when we got home and opened up the bag with the cake, surprise... it was a sliver of a piece, almost like the regular slice was cut in half. The table next to us had 2 of them fairly nice size, and we've had it before, so we know what it should be. Charged $8 for a sliver!! Now we're talking about a $150 check at this restaurant. Thank you for your review this gives us a wonderful opportunity to better our service at our restaurant. The server that you spoke about is no longer working here as we take pride in our service and customer satisfaction. Also we are investigating the sale of wine that we also do not allow. This review was appreciated and we have definitely responded and in turn corrective of actions have been taken. We would please invite you back when you come back to us ask for Danny or Peppe. We want you to have a wonderful experience I would like to apologize in person.
