Restaurant Spotlight

In the heart of Summerville, Laura stands as a testament to rustic Italian cuisine, drawing inspiration from cherished family recipes. Chef Nico Romo, paying homage to his grandmother, crafted a menu that resonates with authenticity and warmth. The ambiance, characterized by its open kitchen and inviting decor, sets the stage for a dining experience that feels both intimate and refined.

The menu is anchored in Italian tradition but doesn’t feel bound by it. You’ll find wood-fired pizzas, seasonal starters, and handmade pastas that show real care in both preparation and flavor.

Our personal favorite dish is the Agnolotti, which is truly one of the best pasta dishes we have ever tried - filled with bright ricotta and finished in a sage brown butter. The pizza was good, but if you are a fan of authentic pasta dishes, in my opinion, the pasta is the way to go!

Featured Pup of the Week: River 🐶

Meet River, the 10-month-old terrier mix who has been at Dorchester Paws for over a month now!

From Dorchester Paws:

“She’s snuggly. She’s silly. She turns into a lap puddle on demand. River is all about the human connection—seriously, this girl crawls into your lap for love like she’s trying to win gold in the Olympic Cuddle Games.

She’s looking for a home where she can be the star, meaning no other pups please—this diva’s got enough personality for the whole house. Come meet River at Dorchester Paws and bring your lap… she’ll handle the rest.🐾”
