Dinner at Pastavino!

Join us for famous, award-winning crab cakes, Italian dishes that racked up accolades for decades, and bold coastal flavors that don’t hold back.
At Pastavino, they blend Italian soul with Chesapeake swagger, re-imagining time-honored classics with just the right touch of creative flair.
The restaurant was founded by cousins Niko and George Sakellis, who come from a restaurant background. Their fathers both own restaurants and founded Fratelli's Italian & Seafood in Maryland. The family has become well known for its concept, including Maryland-style crab cakes, which the cousins thought the Upstate was missing.
“Our strategy at the end of the day was to create a little bit of like a downtown vibe without having to go downtown,” Niko said. “Just to bypass a lot of the parking and headaches and everything going downtown might bring.”
They are located in the Thornblade Publix shopping center, on the corner of The Parkway and S. Batesville Road. This is combined with other groups I organize, including Mensa Gastronomes. I hope to see you there!
