What are the small handful you have enjoyed? I moved down here about 10 years ago and was initially always disappointed so I gave up.

Dinamo, Edo’s, Bacchus, 8 1/2. RIP Mama Zu’s, although I’ve heard exciting rumors of plans for that space. Haven’t been to Lost Letter or Sprezza yet but they look worth a try. But they’re good in the context of a small Southern city. Compared against like, the North End or Baltimore’s Little Italy or any other regional Italian powerhouse they’re just not gonna stack up.

Dinamo, edo, mamma zu, 8 1/2 are all run by the same people I believe.

Yeah I guess I just haven't properly set my expectations. Dinamo and Edo's both disappointed me. I only tried each once though so maybe they both deserve another shot.
