Such a quaint place. Felt like I was eating in a home somewhere in Italy. Wonderful, personalized and intuitive service from Ann Marie. All four of us had seafood and were very happy. The table next to us ordered an extra large pizza. It looked so good that we called in a to go order a couple days later. One of the top pizzas we’ve ever had. I ordered a gluten free pizza, it was one of the best I’ve ever eaten! This is our go-to restaurant in Crescent Beach. Thank you Viola’s for providing such a great experience for your customers!

We absolutely adore Viola’s! The amazing aromas from the kitchen as you walk in the door keep us coming back. We eat in and we take out. Owner is very responsive. Food is fabulous and everyone is cross trained to pitch in to help with whatever is necessary to make the customer happy. One of our favorite spots on the island!
