Best Italian Restaurants in Southport

My husband and I are in town for the WWETT show and decided to try it out and omg..AMAZING food!! Some of the best Italian food we have ever had. Everything we had from the bread to the dessert was excellent. The short rib ragu and rigatoni vodka were chefs kiss!!! The homemade pasta is freakin delicious!! We also had the calamari, market green salad with the delicious lemon vinaigrette and the soup of the day which were all fantastic. The service was also amazing. Our waitress Kendra was super friendly and made great recommendations. The atmosphere is very relaxing as well. We loved it so much, we made reservations for another dinner before we leave town. Highly recommend!! You won’t want to miss!!

Took my wife for Valentine’s Day. Had a reservation. There was much confusion up front because one person was trying to handle seating and Door Dash and carry out all at once. However, we got seated quickly and served quickly. The waitress was very nice and attentive. I had the Motor City works pizza and my wife had a chicken dish. We both enjoyed the meal and our time at the restaurant. It was a little pricey (over $100 w/ tip). But overall, no complaints.

Overall it was a great experience, would highly recommend.

Friday night dinner. Sat in the bar area. Sarah was our very attentive server. Filet for myself and Chicken Caesar salad for the date. We added the mac and cheese (a MUST!) and the truffle wedges. All items were great! Filet was cooked perfectly to medium. Tender. Great flavor and not overseasoned. Top quality meat. One of the few steakhouses where you get what you pay for. Worth it every time! Phenomenal wine list, both by the glass and by the bottle. One of the few places in town with a) a great wine selection; and b) reasonably priced wines by the glass. Desert menu was uninspiring (maybe because we were full?), but you might enjoy some of the offerings. Shout out to Steven, the busser (I believe) for being engaging and friendly with us. He was multi-tasking like crazy, and doing so while being nice. Love Tony’s. My favorite steakhouse in town. Great people work for great people, and you’ll more than likely find a top notch experience here.

The food was delicious. The atmosphere was perfect. Taste is subjective, but I felt like this was one of the best lasagnas I’ve ever had.
