Zeko's Italian Restaurant

09/04/2026

I just want to take a minute to give a huge shoutout to my entire staff.

Being away while I recover hasn’t been easy for me, especially because I’m used to being there and involved every day. But seeing everyone step up, work together, and hold things down while I’ve been out has honestly made me proud.

I know the restaurant business isn’t easy. There are long days, stressful moments, and plenty of unexpected problems, but you guys have continued to show up and handle business.

Thank you to everyone who has stepped up, helped each other, taken on extra responsibility, and kept Zeko’s moving forward while I recover. It definitely hasn’t gone unnoticed.

I’m proud of my team and truly appreciate every one of you. ❤️

Can’t wait to be back with you guys soon. 💪Laila Nayl

Mark your calendars and plan ahead for Thursday, April 16th in Downtown Whiteville.

There is just something special about a Thursday downtown. You can shop local, hear live music, grab a bite to eat, and be reminded that this little downtown of ours still knows how to show up and show out.

Start your evening at the Open-Air Market at the Depot from 4 PM to 8 PM, then make your way to Music in the Alley from 7 PM to 9 PM featuring Jeffrey Simmons.

While you are downtown, be sure to stop in at Farmacy on Main and Meechantile on Madison, which will be open too, along with other local shops and restaurants ready to welcome you. Zeko’s International will also be open at Penn’s Grill, so come hungry and make a full evening of it.

Good people. Local vendors. Live music. Local food. Small town charm.

Now that is how you do a Thursday in Whiteville.

Mark your calendars, plan ahead, and come celebrate the heart of Downtown Whiteville with us.
