This is B Side.

This place is our family favorite. The calamari and the meatballs are delish. The burrata is wonderful. The pasta is all handmade. Favs include the tagliolini with mushrooms, lasagna, fettuccine bolognese, and so many more. The truffle pasta is amazing when it’s in season. This place never disappoints!

Clyde's is always good. Our go-to place. They changed the recipe of the shrimp and grits and that was disappointing. Everything else was tasty.
