Overall fantastic authentic Italian. Highly recommend the goat & mascarpone cheese appetizer. The angel hair w/ tomato basil + meatballs & fresh mozzarella was phenomenal. The cannolis were just okay.
Toy TeezyJune 15, 2020Everything was delicious. I ordered a scallop special with broccolini; capers; linguine in white wine butter sauce. The tiramisu was delicious as well
Amy MittenApril 22, 2016The lasagna and garlic cheese bread were Amazing! As was their garlic rounds. But the Nutella pie ... Omg unbelievable !
Kari HessJune 7, 2018Eat at the bar to beat the wait (only 4-5 seats). If Beth is bartending, talk to her. She is an incredibly friendly and outgoing person and provides great service!
Jacquelyn ClaytonNovember 11, 2012Knowledgable staff, very attentive! Loved the mushroom ravioli feorentine and their Don David Malbec. Dressing on the mama house salad-so good!! Sort of a hidden gem-vibrant and warm atmosphere!
Randy BurrisDecember 4, 2016Great lunch today! The lasagna was fantastic. Ally was one of the best servers I have had in years. I can't say enough positive things about the overall experience.
Brandon JozsaAugust 25, 2012Great place! Make sure to sit at the pizza bar, and you'll not only save time (it's first come, first serve seating), but you'll be treated with random pizza samples from the pizza chefs!- I love the warm, vibrant atmosphere of this place. The penne alla vodka is heavenly and you must try the delicious nutella pie.
Suzanne ZickAugust 24, 2013The Shrimp and Crab Risotto is creamy and delicious. My pick when I'm NOT craving a marinara sauced dish.
Don RowleyDecember 9, 2016The pizza is really good and the wait staff and management are friendly and efficient.
Try the new haven style pizza! We'll worth it, plus the other Italian dishes are awesome too!
Tom StrebelJanuary 25, 2015Best Italian I have had in Charlotte. Penne a la vodka and risotto cooked Al dente, and the risotto wasn't clumpy.
Adam MossMarch 19, 2021Pollo Romano is excellent and enough for 2 easily! All the food we had was great.
Kyle MillerFebruary 17, 2015One of the best Italian places in Charlotte. They have to go too if you're feeling like staying in.
Creative Loafing CharlotteAugust 3, 2014Small but imaginative menu of pastas, antipasti and pizza. Fresh mozzarella, breads, sausages and delish sauces. Read more
Adam ShinnJanuary 28, 2018Best Italian in Charlotte! Bar none!! Try anything here and be amazed. Seriously!
Danny McCormickJune 2, 2013This is without a doubt the best Italian restaurant in Charlotte. No other place even comes close.
Steve StarnesOctober 17, 2019Salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Was delicious. The calamari was very good also
Gabriela PhillipsJune 6, 2020My go to Italian joint! Love the ravioli with the pink sauce. Feels like mamas cooking!
I absolutely love this place . I have been going there for years now .
Joshua LopezOctober 11, 2017Everything is delicious but you must either order the short rib or lasagna!
Sara VargasOctober 24, 2011Tiramisu is the best I've had. Chicken Parm was awesome and their house salad dressing is worthy of buying a bottle to take home!
- Danny McCormickSeptember 17, 2013They should just rename this place to heaven. Everything is amazing
The penné chicken with broccoli in lemon sauce is FABU!!!!
Eduardo FerrariMay 5, 2014Nutella pie tastes like Peanut Butter pie. Server said: Doesn't Nutella tastes like Peanut Butter?? Seriously.... anyways, the food here is nothing stellar, had better pasta in pizza places.
CLTdiningJune 16, 2011Great locally owned Italian that's always solid. Get the Nutella Pie for dessert. It's the size of your head!
Lasagna and penne chicken broccoli are the bomb.com! Lol
