Giardini Trattoria

From the time he started making pasta with his Nona as a small child, Joe Laudisio was entranced with the delicious, fresh food made by his large Italian family in Buffalo, NY. Together with his wife Mary, he brings his memories and his vision for authentic, regional Italian cuisine to this beautiful little restaurant tucked away in the foothills of North Carolina.

Take-Out Market

Not only can you enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner in the Trattoria, you can also choose from a wide selection of take-out meals designed specifically for you to reheat at home. You can also take home the same ingredients used on the restaurant menus such as the fresh pestos, salad dressings, sauces and fresh eggs from the local pasture fed hens.

Where Farm-meets-Table

Not content to just use some fresh produce from local farms now and then, Joe and Mary watch over and help plan the prolific gardens right outside the restaurant doors. From ordering heirloom Italian seeds right from Italy, to guiding the menus that feature the seasonal bounty, much attention is paid to authenticity and to fresh quality. This is not just the new rage in green living, this is the authentic old world process of living and breathing local and seasonal foods that has permeated Italian life for generations.
