Best Authentic Restaurants in Simpsonville

Outstanding and very flavorful food. We have had both lunch and dinner in this restaurant and it never disappoints. Great service.

Tavola was absolutely amazing! Everything we ordered was delicious from start to finish. We started with the fall panzanella salad, which was the perfect way to kick off the meal. I had the beet linguine with golden beets, pecans, and goat cheese sauce, and it was incredible! My husband had the shrimp spaghetti carbonara, and he loved it, too. On top of the fantastic food, our waiter, Zee, was AWESOME! He was so personable, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. Great food, great service, and such a wonderful overall experience. We will absolutely be back! If you’re considering Tavola, definitely give it a try! 🍝

We celebrated my husband’s birthday at OKU with his mom and our 3 elementary aged daughters. Oku staff went above and beyond. They send me a text ahead of time asking what we were celebrating and what my husbands interests/hobbies were. The staff made him a personalized birthday card and for him presents. They go him a dad joke book, a little table top game, and another little book. It was so unexpected and sweet and really made the night special. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was amazing! Definitely recommend for anyone’s upcoming special celebrations.

Food was great as always! Meat guys swarm like bees at times. I try to not over eat but with such awesome meats in your face, very hard not too. Overall, great place for special occasions.

We loved the downtown Greenville location. Staff was super attentive. Food was fantastic – the olives, the bread, the bruschetta, the salads, the risotto, the glass of rosé – y'all get the idea! We live in Atlanta and have a child in college in Greenville, We can't wait to go back again when we're next in Greenville. Excited to see the new location, which should be open mid-November. Not a second location – they're moving about a mile down the street, on the same street, still in downtown (I think).
