Landolfi's Italian Bakery — Restaurant in South Carolina

In response to the previous review.......... I was there the night the reviewer prior to mine was at Landolfi's. although he doesn't know me,I know him from working at Waccamaw Management in Pawleys. He was having a great time that evening,chatting it up with the bartenders and laughing, UNTIL his card was run and declined ! We were appalled at the way he and his female friend conducted themselves. This is a small, tight-nit community, and my dining friends and I have never seen such a spectacle before in our town. His card was denied on the very 1st swipe, not the 19th!! The owner came out and very discretely tried to satisfy the 2 of them, we ALL saw it. All to which his female friend or wife started pointing her finger in the owners face,yelling,"this is not OUR problem,it's yours, you have faulty credit card scanners, we are leaving"..... repeatedly !!! You could clearly see the owner was trying to keep the situation on the down low,but the 2 of them obviously wanted to create a scene,in what we all could only guess was their attempt to avoid paying their bill. Then after calling his bank and removing the hold put on the card and while signing his payment, he looked square at the owner and loudly called him an As@hol$ and yelling out " I will destroy your business online" and his female partner screaming out loud calling the bartenders BIt#hes !! At this point the owner stepped out to call the police and another patron got involved, telling the 2 of them who the true problems were, while the bartenders and a few more locals got behind them trying to persuade them to just leave. Except for one couple, the room was filled with locals all of which knew each other.We were all in shock when they finally stormed out, still spouting their vile words at us all at this point. My friends and I love going to Landolfi's on a regular basis, we all love everything from the workers, the owners, the atmosphere, and it also helps they have awesome food and desserts. The place wouldn't be so adored by locals if it were any other way. It's one of the only places still busy in the off season, year after year. As the owner, shaken and stunned, said after the 2 of them finally left, "I hope I never see them again in here............ but I can only feel sorry for my fellow restaurant owners who have to deal with them from now on" I...

Tonight was beyond disappointing with terrible service. We ordered 2 pizzas and water. How did they manage to get it all wrong?!? They had to remake 1 pizza because they forgot to add sauce, and I never got the sauce on the side that I asked for. We had to flag down a greeter to get me sauce and also ask her for drinks as our server was to busy to be bothered with service at our table. We waited and looked for our server several times to ask for the dessert and checks. Finally, I had to get up and go to the dessert counter and ask for our dessert because she also couldn't manage to bring that to the table after we asked her to bring it.(upon request, it had been pulled aside when we came in.) When I got home, I called and spoke to the manager. He said that he would talk to her and review tapes of this evening. Upon calling me back, he basically accused me of "stretching the truth" because all of this occurred in 1 hour and not and hour and a half as I had stated previously. He went on to say that he hopes I'm happy because he almost fired her when things got heated in discussions with her. Furthermore, he was on her side and that we would just have to disagree because he felt we got excellent service in under 1 hour. The fact that we had to ask other restaurant employees to get us what we needed wss chalked up to how "they pitch in to help each other out. Also, he said that she was very busy and working several tables, so he felt that we got great service. He hopes to see us again. 🤣😂 Wow, these are pretty low standards being set here in Pawleys Island. Clearly, this is another "local" favorite and obviously great if you have take out or dessert pick up. However, if you want good dine in service, go elsewhere. That is the takeaway after a few different dine in experiences that I have had...

Landolfi's Restaurant in Pawleys Island is an absolute gem that delivers an extraordinary dining experience! During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of trying their P'hilly Cheesesteak special, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The cheesesteak was perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and generously filled with tender slices of beef, sautéed onions, and melted cheese. Each bite was a delightful combination of savory goodness that left me craving more.

But what truly elevated the meal was the croissant. Light, fluffy, and buttery, it was the perfect accompaniment to the hearty cheesesteak. The croissant's delicate texture and rich taste complemented the robust flavors of the sandwich, creating a harmonious balance that was simply unforgettable.
