Best Authentic Restaurants in Spartanburg

Service was attentive, frequent, courteous and professional from the time we arrived until the time we left. Excellent suggestions throughout meal. The focaccia appetizer is a must! All pasta dishes are the real deal and chicken Parmesan was huge and delicious!! Seasonings on all meals were delicious and closest to actual being in Italy. Desserts of affogato, tiramisu and special cookie spice dessert (forgot the name) were so excellent that minimal sharing was offered by our three person party to each other!!!!

We always enjoy Pomegranate! Love the kabobs and starters mostly. We did miss the old presentation of the pita for the starters. We will definite dine again and did I mention the wine glasses make the wines taste even better!

We celebrated my husband’s birthday at OKU with his mom and our 3 elementary aged daughters. Oku staff went above and beyond. They send me a text ahead of time asking what we were celebrating and what my husbands interests/hobbies were. The staff made him a personalized birthday card and for him presents. They go him a dad joke book, a little table top game, and another little book. It was so unexpected and sweet and really made the night special. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was amazing! Definitely recommend for anyone’s upcoming special celebrations.

Great experience overall, will plan to come back soon to enjoy the buffet.

We loved the downtown Greenville location. Staff was super attentive. Food was fantastic – the olives, the bread, the bruschetta, the salads, the risotto, the glass of rosé – y'all get the idea! We live in Atlanta and have a child in college in Greenville, We can't wait to go back again when we're next in Greenville. Excited to see the new location, which should be open mid-November. Not a second location – they're moving about a mile down the street, on the same street, still in downtown (I think).
