DOWNTOWN. A pale, shining environment only serves to highlight the exceptional northern Italian cuisine served at Bergamo's. Always prepared with the freshest ingredients, this is some of the best Italian in the Upstate. Pastas, steaks and seafood are satisfying and robust. Salads and antipasti showcase a medley of flavors, and the simple desserts perfectly complete the richness of a good meal. Definitely one to try.

DOWNTOWN. Northern Italian cuisine is the delicious specialty of this warm, friendly restaurant. Try veal scaloppini prepared in marsala sauce with porcini mushrooms, or go vegetarian with spinach and walnut ravioli in cream sauce. All pastas are prepared on the premises, a welcome nod to quality and attention. The dining room is elegantly casual, and reservations are strongly recommended. Patio dining is available if the weather is cooperative.

GREER. Recipient of much praise and local buzz, Gerard's hits the mark with its contemporary Italian cuisine. The open, elegant space in a restyled storefront features hardwood floors, brick walls, and pools of romantic, ambient light. The outdoor dining area, protected by an arbor, is surrounded by lush seasonal plantings. The menu is executed with a sure hand and features pastas, seafood, veal, lamb, beef, duck, and chicken. Representative dishes include pancetta-wrapped pork tenderloin with pear compote and seared scallops with sherry cream, baby spinach, and risotto Milanese. The wine list specializes in Italian and Californian vintages. Wonderful for special occasions.

DOWNTOWN. Gas lanterns, high ceilings, chunky wood seating and exposed brick walls establish a casual, intimate atmosphere at this Main Street mainstay. It's often filled with diners in the mood for well-prepared, affordable fare. Wood-fired pizzas and homemade pastas get lots of attention, as do rotisserie chicken, gourmet sandwiches and flavorful salads. Two dozen wines are available by the glass, making it possible to sample several during the course of a meal. If the weather's pleasant, take advantage of sidewalk seating and the people-watching opportunities it affords.

EAST NORTH STREET. Don't let its shopping strip location deter you from trying out this delightful Italian dining room. Scrumptious wood-fired pizzas with an awesome selection of toppings are the specialty, and other classic Italian dishes might include veal parmesan or shrimp and chicken carbonara, best enjoyed with a glass of wine.

EAST NORTH STREET. Ambient lighting and a subdued decor lend a certain romance to this Italian eatery. Candlelight and a good wine list add to the comfortable atmosphere. The menu presents a number of tempting dishes including spaghetti classica, eggplant parmigiana and veal scallopini. Accompanying all of these entrees are a refreshing salad and fantastic garlic rolls. A good choice for a relaxing dinner.

MAULDIN. The owner of this comfortable eatery hails from Buffalo, and its menu offers abundant indication of his heritage. Pizzas come in large and small versions, and you can fashion your own specialty or take advantage of varieties like the Mexican, the Hawaiian and the Vegetarian. Also delicious is the Italian Flag, which translates green, red and white into basil, tomatoes and three cheeses. Other possibilities include authentic Buffalo chicken wings, pasta plates and subs. In addition, regulars applaud Monday through Friday's Buffalo fish fry, which promises tender haddock, fries and cole slaw.

WOODRUFF ROAD. Swathed in warm, Tuscan tones, Travinia artfully achieves a place as one of the city's most appealing, unpretentious restaurants. Efficient servers willingly accommodate guests, who give themselves over to top-quality food and conversation as Rat Pack vocalists croon in the background. Traditional dishes include saltimbocca, scallops and shrimp pancetta, seafood pescatora and chicken piccata; grilled steaks and beautifully composed salads also find a place. Cap everything with a classic cannoli or a serving of tiramisu. More than 35 wines (Italian and Californian) are available by the glass.

HAYWOOD ROAD. If you can't imagine brunch at an Italian restaurant, reserve judgment until you see the unbelievable spread laid out by the Italian Market. The brunch buffet is vast and includes all of the breakfast basics – pancakes, waffles, eggs, sausage and French toast – along with pastas, great breads and an impressive array of desserts. No matter your craving, you'll come away sated, if not stuffed. But don't worry – you'll have plenty of company. During the week, Italian Market also draws eager (and hungry) crowds.

MAULDIN. Attended regularly by local folks, Olive Tree takes pride in its home-style Greek and Italian food. A laid-back ambience reigns, and the no-frills interior means that no one feels out of place or is uncomfortable. As a result, you'll find lots of people tucking into hearty pasta dishes, gyro platters and large, crisp salads. Portions are substantial, and even better, they're more than affordable. If you're a non-smoker, request a table in the front of the restaurant.
