Italian cuisine tells a story of a passionate people surrounded by fertile land and sea and no one tells that story better than Luigi's Italian Restaurant. Luigi's is a family owned and operated establishment founded in downtown Fayetteville in the early 1950s. For decades Luigi's has captured this essence of Italy and transported it to Fayetteville for everyone to enjoy. The food is authentic and delicious. Peter Parrous, the founder of Luigi's, started a simple spaghetti restaurant. His talent and passion for cooking made the restaurant a huge local success. From generation to generation, his recipes and business have been passed down to his three children, who have kept the traditions alive with Parrous' commitment to authenticity and quality. In addition to a variety of pan seared pastas and hand-cut steaks, Luigi's also has an extensive and award-winning wine list featuring a selection of more than 250 different imported and domestic wines.

Best North Side Restaurant ScrubOaks - Contemporary American Pub 5780 Ramsey St. Suite 108 910.884.3072 www.scruboaks.com Gwen and Tim Holtsclaw knew exactly what was missing on the North Side when they opened ScrubOaks Contemporary American Pub. In just a few short years their concept quickly transformed from just casual conversation on a back deck to the #1 place to be seen in North Fayetteville. Yes, privately owned and operated, ScrubOaks describes itself as an unique contemporary American pub. Sort of a mix between a great sports bar and an upscale restaurant. With a focus on American cuisine, their dishes are served up with a unique and tantalizing twist. For example, a ScrubOaks favorite is their humble, yet scrumptious meatloaf. This dish comes caped in bacon and covered with a port wine demi-glaze. This is definitely not your grandmother's meatloaf. The bar is also fully stocked with a variety of domestic and imported beers, liquors and wines. The friendly and talented bartenders are well versed in concocting a variety of specialty cocktails served with the same ingenious creativity as the food. ScrubOaks also has a variety of music and entertainment events during the month and a plethora of original fun events like weekly trivia and musical bingo. ScrubOaks is the perfect venue for meetings, receptions and themed parties like March Madness or Wine Dinners. We invite you to experience ScrubOaks soon and find out why they are the "Best Restaurant on the North side of town."
