Wonderful as always — the bruschetta itself is a reason to go, and the risottos are always impeccable.

About the restaurant

Spaghetti Westurn is a classic semolina saloon that provides a playful and peculiar twist on homemade pasta. We like to eat. We like to drink. We like sharing what we eat and drink with our friends and loved ones.

Spaghetti Westurn was founded in 2021 in the city of Greenville, S.C.. The concept is the brainchild of Chef and Owner Jason Saunders, formerly of Jianna in Greenville and Wicked Weed Brewing and Table in Asheville, to name a few of the spots where he made his mark. Chef Saunders decided to open his own concept in 2020.

Spaghetti Westurn was conceived of as an eatery and oasis that prizes the beauty of quality, culinary simplicity and generous depths of service in an environment that is comfortable and welcoming for guests and employees alike. We pride ourselves on providing a great place for people to eat and a great place for people to work.

This was our second time dining at Spaghetti Westurn. We had 2 bottles of the house Chianti, 2 appetizers, 5 different entrees and every single morsel of food that brought to our table was moan inducing. There were five of us and we each loved our dinners so much we tried to convince one another that we each had the best. Personally, I highly recommend the Prairie Dog and the Lady of the Night. Also, order the bread which is great on its own,but even better dipped into the sauce in your pasta dish.

This was our first visit to 17 and it would have received 5 stars across the board, but we were a little disappointed with our entree. We had the steak and we liked the preparation, but the actual cut seemed tough and not in line with everything else we were served. We left wishing we had ordered something else. The service was top notch; friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is just what we want for a night out. We could hear each other without competing with other noises. Our appetizers were delicious, the custom drink I had (Carolina Green) was so good. We were staying at the hotel, so we also had breakfast the next morning which was definitely a 5 star breakfast. We tried to get the secret to the chef's potato hash. We will definitely come back in the future and just not order the steak.

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.

About the restaurant

The Farehouse is located in the heart of the historic Taylors Mill’s Dock No. 3. The mill began its life as the Southern Bleachery and Piedmont Print Works during the height of the Greenville area’s reign as the Textile Capital of the World. Closing as a mill in 1965, the building found a variety of partial uses until revitalization efforts began in the mid 2000s. While many mill revitalization projects have converted mills into condos and other residential projects, the Taylors Mill is proud to be the largest grassroots project of its kind in the upstate of South Carolina. Today the Taylors Mill seeks to facilitate craft and commerce for a new generation in the heart of Taylors, SC. The Taylors Mill is reclaiming creative community.

Our menu focuses on New York style pizza, pub-style appetizers, deli sandwiches, and dinner specials using fresh, locally-sourced meat and produce.

Just my personal taste, but I ordered the pretzel crusted pork chop, and it was delicious, but I would've liked to have a little more mashed sweet potatoes and sauce for the chop with less red cabbage.

We had the Oscar Filet, scallops, crab cake, pork chop, pretzel and chocolate mousse. In addition to a couple of cocktails and we shared the Mesa Amarone. The food was amazing, drinks were delicious, the server was lovely (sorry I didnt get her name) and there was no pressure to move on even after a couple of hours. Not my first time or my last. My Mom has special needs and they never disappoint (taking great care of us). Love it here!!

Your tables are small and uncomfortable. Our party of 4 felt like there was no room for food or plates at the table. All food was set down at the end of the table, so the person sitting on the inside, had to keep asking for food because he couldn’t reach it. And the raw food was on such a long platter. You couldn’t set it between you again. The booth is too small and different serving platters needed.
