It’s pronounced “eel CHEEN-yo,” and it translates as “The Italian Swan.” It’s a nod to our identity as a fine Italian restaurant in downtown Swansboro, N.C. However, our name means so much more to us than that. It also signifies great food made with the best possible ingredients. It means Southern hospitality tinged with Italian flavor. And it conjures up an atmosphere with all the warmth of home. Because we believe that, to be great, a restaurant should do more than satisfy your taste buds. It must also soothe your soul.
