Greenville

About the restaurant

Sciortino's is a classic Italian trattoria and wine bar. The restaurant makes most of its sauces and pastas from scratch every day, ensuring that guests get the freshest plate of food possible. This dedication to making its own ingredients has led to partnerships with local farmers. Sciortino's is a family restaurant, with lots of large tables and a few semi-private rooms that can be reserved for special events or private parties.Sciortino's menu is made up mainly of classic Italian fare. Guests will see pizza, pasta and a few grilled entrées on the menu, each with a few standouts. Some of the signature items the kitchen prides itself on are the pizzas, eggplant parmesan and chicken marsala. Patrons who come hungry should save themselves some room for dessert, because Sciortino's does an excellent cannoli, complete with cream on top and coming out of both ends.

We had a fairly large group including a 6-year-old for an early seating, and everything was just perfect. The food was excellent, the server expert and informative, and our family celebration was everything we had hoped.

Five Stars, Two Birthdays, and One Unforgettable Evening! 🥂 We celebrated two friends’ birthdays at the large family-style table tucked near the kitchen. The atmosphere was intimate, cozy, and just the right amount of upscale without feeling stuffy. Dressy casual was perfect! Several guests had food allergies and dietary restrictions, and for once, everyone could relax and enjoy themselves without a second thought! Carla’s service was stellar, and Chef Jimmy was an absolute gem! He visited our table throughout the evening, remembered everyone’s dietary needs, and surprised us with special bites thoughtfully tailored to each guest. Now THAT is hospitality! The bartenders worked their magic with our cocktail requests, the risotto was divine, the filet melted in your mouth, and the crème brûlée? Worth every calorie! Five stars simply aren’t enough! Exceptional food, wonderful people, and the kind of evening that reminds you dining out should be an experience, not just a meal. We’ll be back! ❤️

The food was amazing!! I love that most things are gluten free. It would be awesome if they had gluten free bread with the starters.
