“ Stumbled on to Il Borgo, WOW. My lucky, and last, day in SCDLC. Had the caprese salad as my appetizer, the spaghetti bolognese (no lie, the best I've EVER had in 61 yrs) for 2nd course and a salad for my 3rd. I'm so impressed I'm sitting here writing a review ! The waiter was top notch, attentive and not at all overbearing. Enjoyed it all very much, except no room for the salad 'bowl'. ”

“ Excellent place. Exceeded my expectations. The service is friendly and attentive, the food is great and the chef is very speedy and nice. I just didn't like the music, but it's a little thing compared to its virtues. ”
