It was our first time visiting there. We enjoyed everything from the new cheif famous new bread and oil, the meatball appetizer, awesome martini, all the pasta and chicken dishes to the amazing dessert crème brûlée was amazing, but the manager just started a new ice cream nachos that was so good. We will definitely be back. Big shout out to our waiter Grant Lee! On point about all the food and drink questions. He knows the menu very well. Kept our drinks filled and made us feel very welcome along with the manager and others.

Run don’t walk to Travinia Cheerydale * But make sure you have the correct location. The BEST is the Cheerydale location!
I met family there for an early dinner but it ended with wine and dessert. Skip the wine menu and ask Sergio (one of the owners) to pick from his secret stash! LOL! We love how he welcomes us again and again to the restaurant. The staff here works well together as a team to provide exceptional service.
There was live music there that evening, the guy playing the guitar his name was Chris and he kept the music engaging adding to the ambiance of dinner.
Of course TA hit us with the cobbler and we also had the tiramisu. These are the best 2 desserts in town hands down.

Was nice to be able to place reservations regardless of the need at the time. Once seated the menu was easy to read and choose from. We tried a bit of everything. Presentation was excellent with each dish. Service was a little rushed and timing between entrees and starters could have been better and not so close. Check ins with table could have happened more but overall service was very hospitable and engaging. Im sure we didn’t help things since some in our party ordered dessert for dinner , when it came to timing of the plates coming out. The most surprising option was the crab cakes. I ordered as a starter but could easily be a main course. I would recommend this dish ten times over even as just a side. I let everyone at our table try it because the combination of the crab with the cream sauce and rice set fireworks to the palette. The combination was perfect that evening and again my top recommendation. Only thing if I had something to add would be an option for 1 or 2 crab cakes on the menu. The creme brulee was spot on and the favorite out of the two desserts. The lava cake with the raspberry drizzle was really good but also had an amazing presentation. Definitely fun for the kiddos to look at and eat. We were a table of 4 and all had a try. Would definitely recommend this location again primarily because of the seafood and more intimate atmosphere options. Would like to review some of the other seafood and menu options for sure.

Have you tried Travinia Italian Kitchen & Bar on pleasanburg SC? It’s located where southern culture used to be. Tonight I went to meet some friends in the atmosphere was wonderful. We had live music and the scenery was beautiful as well as the smell aroma of food was superb.
My meal choice was the POLLO ISABELLA
Pan seared chicken, roasted red tomatoes, goat cheese, lemon butter, sautéed baby spinach, and basil ( $21)
I had to make myself stop eating. It was so delicious and the flavors make so well the goat cheese, and the lemon butter sauce on the tender chicken was top-notch.
Instead of ordering pasta, I chose to order the creamy Parmesan risotto . I love risotto and the flavor was so simple but yet just the right combination to mix with all the flavors that surrounded the chicken.
Before my meal, I enjoyed – friday night special Marilyn martini that consist of Ketel One, (Vodka) muddled strawberries and mint,
St. Germaine, lemon juice, topped with prosecco.
The grapefruit flavor mixed so wonderful with the mint and muddled strawberries.
For some reason, this martini reminded me of another martini that I had in Gastonia a while back and then I realized the ingredients had the St Germaine includes as well.
(Research says; St-Germain is a French liqueur made from hand-picked elderflower blossoms, known for its sweet, floral flavor with notes of peach, pear, and grapefruit. It’s a popular cocktail ingredient, often used in spritzes, gin and tonics, and other mixed drinks, and is recognized by its Art Deco-style bottle. Each bottle contains up to 1,000 elderflower blossoms, which are harvested once a year in late spring. )
Tonight was live music by guitarist that played Melody’s that created an atmosphere of calmness and a feel of an eloquent Mood.
It was definitely my class and style of a room. Travinia is an Italian style restaurant that serves authentic Italian dishes. The service was very friendly and we had several people check on us to make sure we were OK.
I definitely will be returning . And Oh they have brunch served from 8 to 2 Saturday and Sunday. That might be my next meal at Travinias.
Go check them out at Cherrydale on Pleasantburg drive in Greenville SC. It’s a very elegant and well deserving treatment for yourself to go visit this

Ohh how we love coming here! This Friday evening there was a lady singing and that elevated our evening.
My families favorite spot to sit is on the side where the bar is. It’s cozy and intimate. We feel exclusive.
This evening I didn’t even get photos of the food. We were enjoying the food, singing, and our conversations.
Here’s what we had:
Appetizer – Calamari
Entrees – Sinitra chicken, pasta mi mona, flatbread, kids chicken tenders and fries, kids Alfredo.
Dessert – tiramisu

From the very first moment we walked into Travinia, it was clear this wasn’t going to be just another dinner out — it was going to be an experience. The atmosphere blends elegance with warmth in a way that instantly makes you feel at home yet pampered.
The service? Absolutely unmatched. We were lucky enough to be taken care of by Tory, whose attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism raised the entire evening to another level. Every detail was noticed, every need anticipated, and all of it delivered with genuine charm.
And if that weren’t already enough, the owner himself came over to greet us and make sure everything was nothing short of perfect. That kind of personal touch speaks volumes — not only about the pride they take in what they do, but also about the heart behind this restaurant.
Now, let’s talk about the food: spectacular. Every bite tasted like excellence redefined — a perfect harmony of flavor, presentation, and freshness. And the best part? The value. To find this level of quality at such a fair price is almost unbelievable.
Travinia isn’t just the best option — it sets the standard. From flavor to service, from price to experience, it’s simply in a class of its own. Without a doubt, I’ll be recommending Travinia across all my social media platforms, as well as to my family and friends. It’s simply too good to keep to myself.

Today I decided to dine with this establishment for lunch. We arrived and was greeted by our host Taylor who had just started today. She gave us the opportunity to sit where we wanted. We were then greeted by our waiter Adam who was a gem. He luckily was also the Bartender at the time. The drinks he made were delicious and on point. I ordered the Salmon&Berry Salad which was hearty and enough to feed two. The salad was plentiful and delicious. It was a Blackened Salmon with a fresh bed of greens with blueberries, Strawberries, mandarin and candied pecans with honey lime vinaigrette. I also ordered the Pan Roasted chicken which I sampled while enjoying my salad and it was on point. It consisted of the the thigh and leg and breast with wings roasted to perfection, Brussel sprouts and roasted baby bakers (potatoes) I had ordered to eat later for dinner. My husband ordered the Veal Parmesan and the Jumbo Seared Scallops which he enjoyed tremendously. We also ordered drinks in which Adam prepared and they were awesome and refreshing. We asked about the Chef who prepared our meals and were told she’s called Chef Smooth. The chef was on point with preparation and she definitely knows what’s she’s doing. If you want to enjoy an establishment with great ambience and decor this is the place to be. Can’t wait for our next visit. I want to give more than 5 stars because the staff was inviting and such a great help with patience and making the consumer feel important, so thanks to you guys for that. You guys are AWESOME!!

Hidden gem! If you are not wanting to trek downtown, Trivinia is a must! You cannot go wrong with their Flounder Parmesan + brussel sprouts! We always sit in the bar section and get the same ambience but with a super fun/entertaining crew! Q, Bradley, and Elaine never fail to put a smile on our faces! Try it out! 🙂

We came on Valentines Day. Very chaotic and unorganized. Wait staff did not have sections and were all over the place. We were early and we’re seated on time. It was 10 minutes until we saw our waiter. The calamari and chicken parm was great. Both our steaks and the tuna were ice cold. We got calamari and no side plates. My wife never got her salad. Our waiter only came back to ask if we needed boxes. They did take one meal off the reason for the 2 stars. It seems to have a local vibe where the regulars are well taken care of. The people next to us waited so long that they Just got their food to go. They still haf to pay their check. It is probably really good during the week on a slow night. Being a prior restaurateur I would nit eat here on a weekend night or when it is busy. We should have walked out when I saw how chaotic and unorganized things were. We gave them a chance we will not be back.
