"There’s no shortage of places to sample the seafood and Lowcountry classics in and around Hilton Head, and so it’s refreshing to have the option for thoughtful, classic Italian food. This upscale trattoria on New Orleans Road falls on just the right side of romantic, and a pleasing waft of pancetta and other continental delights greet its customers. Fresh, homemade pasta makes up the formidable foundations of a menu that doffs its culinary cap to the old school of Italian cooking, but which isn’t restrained by its conventions. The entrees revel in the classics, from a deceptively simple bolognese to more intricate black tagliatelle with shrimp or the wonderful speck-stuffed chicken breast. The freshness emanates from the plate, and if any of the dishes particularly take your fancy, the restaurant also runs its own cooking school on site so that you can recreate your favorite back at home." - Paul Oswell
