Laura Summerville

My wife and I used to love going out to eat and probably did it more than we should have. In the past couple years it just seems like we rarely get the bill and feel as though we got our money's worth, with the exception of a few key spots. That was absolutely not the case at Laura! We went in for our anniversary and everything about the experience was phenomenal. Ray was our server and he was personable, helpful, and attentive. The atmosphere is fancy, but not at all stuffy. We started with the Focaccia and Arancini - I would have been happy just eating that for a whole meal. They were both amazing. We each had a mocktail; I had the Nonnina and my wife had the Blood Orange Twist. For the main course, I had the lobster gnocchi and she had the Pappardelle Fungo. We both added scallops, which were cooked to absolute perfection. The food was incredible and the price wasn't crazy at all. This was one of the best meals I have had since moving to SC (6 years) and we will definitely be back many times in the future.

This is our second time at Laura's. The agnolotti was quite good and the sauce was bright and refreshing. Octopus was good as usual though it's hard to compete with places like Malagon and Laurel. The foccacia was very fluffy and filling--served with whipped ricotta I believe. I think it's worth getting even just to clean up the remaining sauce from any pasta you get. The last time we ordered the carne pizza which was fine but I didn't care too much about the texture. This time we got the one with squash and stuff on it...didn't care at all for this. same texture but it felt a bit TOO charred on the veggies that gave a slight bitter note. Atmosphere was great as always. Our server was quite attentive at first, but as it picked up, I didn't see them for a while. took a bit longer than expected to refill our waters or pay the bill. All in all, still good. I like how they have the pass near the dining area so you can see everyone working, though I'm sure it gets busy. Onthe way out we saw the lasagna and that looked great--will have to try that out next time.

Ohhh my Italian! Laura hit the spot and was so fun!!! Made me think back to my old school Italian place in Omaha. Simply amazing from the bread to desserts. We had to try the octopus app and pizza, my wife got the Cacio e Pepe which was bold and cheesy, *****’s across the board! Stop by and get some!!

Great place to celebrate you special day. Food is amazing. Not a fan of Italian cuisine but definitely a place to go to if you are into Italian taste. Be ready to pay extra if you decide to pay with your credit card instead of cash

The special desert was out of this world! It was a passion fruit mouse with caramelized peaches and a chocolate almond financier cake (I know this because I asked!) it had milk chocolate mouse around a caramel and white chocolate mirror glaze dome covering. (Again, I asked) this combination of flavors was incredible! Light and fruity. Rich and warm. Sweet and creamy. Tart and smooth. And the chocolate decoration on top was artistic and like something off of one of those cooking shows! Bellisimo! I hope they have another one soon!
