Wonderful food. Some of the best Italian food I have eaten. The restaurant has wonderful atmosphere. Eating on the deck is fabulous. They let my dog join us when eating there. Our server was amazing too. Answered any and all questions. Helped as we had a Hindu, Muslim, and vegetarian at out table.

When you think of West Virginia, you don't think of Italian, but in the case of this restaurant you need to make an exception. My now fiance took me here the day after proposing to me, and my goodness was this place amazing. Our server Gracie, was exceptional. The food was delicious, and came out promptly. You can tell everything here is made with love and attention to detail. The manager, I don't know his name but he was dressed in a dapper suit, was also very kind, and you could tell he really supports his staff. I cannot recommend this place enough, it is worth whatever trip you may have to take to come here. Muriale's, you have been added to my favorites list, thank you.

Let me tell you, fantastic food. Really enjoy coming here. Tonight it was the busiest we have seen it. You might think service would not be on par......it was terrific. Olivia our server was polite, quick, and friendly. She even suggested something I never knew I could do. At the end over our meal a young man named Owen came over to pack our meals to go home cleared all unwanted dishes and got we a few more slices of bread. I must tell you, this is one of the best restaurants in the area. By the way it was our anniversary today. So glad we decided to drive down.

Had a wonderful lunch today. We got Veal Parmesan and Chicken Parmesan which were both scrumptious. The salad was perfect with Roquefort dressing, Peppadew and pickled onions. Our waiter, Ethan, was perhaps the best waiter I’ve ever had. The whole experience was perfect. Thank you!

I found this restaurant from a postcard I got from the visitor’s center and decided to give it a try. The bartender who took my order was so sweet and gave me amazing recommendations. I got the Sicilian spaghetti which comes with bread and a salad and that alone was beyond worth it, plenty of DELICIOUS food for a good price, can’t beat that. I love mushrooms so the Sicilian spaghetti was everything I wanted. I also ordered the cheesy garlic bread as an additional side and that was also just so good. For the salad I got their house Italian dressing which I highly recommend. A lot of restaurants will make their ranch in house but no other dressings, so when she told me it was their house I absolutely had to have it and I am so glad I did. Overall a phenomenal experience. The food was exceptional all around, the vibes were great, and I left very happy!
