- JJamesSan Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFirst visit but it will not be our last. Some issues with parking, but overall restaurant experience was outstanding. Logan our waiter was extremely attendant - never had to think "where is our waiter". For a table of 5 including a 10 year old, every order was better than expected. We spent considerable time sharing so we could all judge separately - every item was amazing down to the sherbet triio for dessert.More infoTarantelli’sPrice: Moderate• Italian• Wilmington•4.7

- CCliftonCoastal North Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoI just had anniversary dinner there. Lamb gnocchi and my wife had braised short rib. Started off with fried Brussels sprouts as an appetizer. Ended with an espresso mousse with whipped cream in a coffee cup (I enjoyed the pun on that), and my wife had tiramisu. Everything was phenomenal! The chef wasn’t there, but the sous chef did a great job! I highly recommend!More infoFloriana - WilmingtonPrice: Expensive• Italian• Wilmington•4.8

Discover Coastal North Carolina
The coastal region of North Carolina is a vacation magnet, and food is big business all along the shoreline. Fresh seafood establishments abound in this area, with many of them catering directly to the visitors as much as the locals. Steakhouses are also very common along the coast for those looking for a great cut prepared just right. The South is barbeque country, and you can add the North Carolina coast to the list, as barbecue smokehouses are plentiful and usually found in a bar-and-grill setting. International food is also a very popular choice along the North Carolina coast. Selections include Thai, German, Indian, and even Peruvian cuisine. Of course, there are many national chain establishments as well as locally owned family restaurants and combination eateries for those wanting something quick.
