Best Italian Restaurants in Hickory

Fantastic experience all around! Our server was amazingly attentive and the food was superb. Despite my initial shock with an incredibly small menu, there were two specials offered giving plenty of options!

This was the best restaurant dining experience I've had in months, and I am a foodie. Luminosa is a must! The bread, the rigatoni, the lemon pizza, and don't skip the tiramisu. Our waiter was excellent, attentive and funny, with excellent recommendations. I'm sorry I don't remember his name.

This restaurant never disappoints. I hesitate to write a glowing review for fear we’ll never get a table again. It’s always been packed lately. But that would not be fair to the owners and the staff, especially the chef who consistently turns out dishes like the ones we ate this evening, delectable scallops and a thick pork chop, both juicy and tender. I’d like to try the other salads, but might never because the blue cheese salad is just that good.

A gem downtown- staff wonderful [couple ahead of us had no reservation but they made quick accommodations to seat them] - food was 5-star. Oysters superb- and bread appetizer with salsa verde wonderful- the gnocchi was also enough to share. Entrees were also large portioned- seafood pasta, cioppino, was the best I've had- A must if in town, a habit for locals.

This was a girls weekend for us and we enjoyed the setting and location of District 42. We didn’t realize it was at a hotel and never once felt like we were in a hotel. Set in the middle of the city it was fun to have our first evening there!
