Riserva 1895

Absolutely delicious and authentic Italian dishes with even better service. The atmosphere is so cozy and intimate. I have been multiple times and each visit is consistently amazing. I recommend to anyone and everyone!

What a charming little gem. Very limited seating, but even though the space is small, it never got loud, and you don’t feel crowded. The host/server was very accommodating and informative. We ordered the whole menu, and everything was perfectly paced and portioned. Their wine list is WAY better than it has to be, and priced far more fairly than places in town. We own our own wine shop, and were so pleased with how thoughtful and balanced their wine program is. We were there for my wife’s birthday, and felt so very well taken care of at every step. We wish the Aiken area had far more places like this. This was our first time and we will undoubtedly return.

Absolutely the best restaurant in the area the chef is spectacular and creative with her dishes. The atmosphere is spectacular. I think the best part is the first hour you talk and you have drinks and you walk around and you’re not present a menu until the timing is right then the evening is spread out Over the course of three or four hours it’s wonderful. Don’t expect to get in. They are packed so if you make a reservation plan on it months before it’s well worth the wait.

Best kept secret in Aiken.. This is real Italian food…Cecilia and Andrea are just straight from Italy! First generation! Not just an Italian name but the whole package.. everything is organic and locally grown or raised… their accent is as thick as mine! No preservative, no disgusting sauce! The presentations, the color, the taste, the creativity..Everything is amazing .. soon we won’t be able to eat there as it will be too crowded… And…. They carry the one of the best wine!! Barolo! They have absolutely no match here in Aiken for Italian food…

I would give 6 stars if able to. Excellent service and professionalism. Food was incredible.
