Open lunch and dinner, seven days a week.
Christmas Eve dinner with our grown children. We go out every year. We try to pick a different place each year, usually a high end steak house but the last 2 years were disappointing so I changed it up this year. They absolutely loved it. Food was delicious.
Initial service was slow, took about 30 minutes to place a drink order but then fine from that point forward. Food very good put pricey.
Great night celebrating our anniversary. We felt like we were "away" when we were just so close to home, it was a perfect evening. We will definitely be back.
Fantastic experience every time. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend this unique and wonderful spot.
We had a lovely evening. We asked for a table outside and Elizabeth, who is the most professional and sweet hostess, was able to accommodate us. We had an excellent server too. I believe his name is Louis. Our drinks were delicious. The food we ordered all came out just the way we asked for them to be prepared. And ever dish was hot, which is delectable, especially since we were dining outside. We look forward to visiting OGGI again. When we make reservations we’ll definitely want to speak with Elizabeth
OGGI's never let's you down!!! My husband and I both tried their Pasta e Fagioli for the first time, and it was so delicious that I was ready to order some to take home. Their Bruschetta in unbelievable, too!!! My husband had his old standby, lasagna (you find it this good anywhere) and I tried a new dish, shrimp & asparagus parmesan risotto, which was the most delicious dish I have ever tasted!!! The ambience and service are always perfect. You have to try OGGI's if you haven't already!!!
Always excellent food. Waiter very accommodating with gluten free choice.
We love Oggi and find ourselves celebrating most birthdays over their delicious muscles :)
Favorite spot and will keep coming back!
The food and service was excellent The noise level was loud which made conversation hard.
Virbrant llocation. Welcome relief to get out during 2020
Food was great.
Our booth was near the bottle neck for servers going in and out of kitchen.
The made fresh daily pastas, the salads, the drinks, the service, everything was awesome! Try the purple rain drink!
Food was very good!! Great Pumpkin Ravioli!! The mango cheesecake is a most have!!
I was not pleased with the server. He simply didn’t pay much attention to us. Perhaps he was really busy in another part of the restaurant, because we rarely saw him!
Lovely meal and wonderful, attentive server.
Great food. Owner was walking around engaging his patrons ensuring a great experience.
This is our regular date night spot! We visit at least once a month and we love it! Great service, phenomenal food. Highly recommend!
Pam made the evening. Great server indeed. Food was tasty.
Not my first visit and will not be my last.
Always great service, delicious entrees with a cool atmosphere.
Thanks Oggi
Second time at Oggi and was going to get the same items as last time, Tuna Tartar and the crab meat ravioli with lobster sauce. Our waitress, WHO WAS AMAZING, talked me out of it for a special. I waited tables in college and she down sold me versus uphold me for a great experience. If they ever have the Trout special on the menu, ORDER IT. Our date night was changed as sitter cancelled and we brought our son. He was in a mood and Patricia put him at ease and made him laugh immediately. I'm from the NE and this is by far the best Italian in Charlotte.
Food and Service were both very good. Menu has a nice variety of options. Social distancing was very comfortable (we ate in the side area). Would definitely recommend this as an upscale Italian restaurant.
Outstanding Food, Atmosphere and Service
This was our second time visiting OGGI and we were just as impressed as we were on our last visit. The starters, salads, and entrees were all great. Their fresh-made pastas seem to be consistently delicious and their specials are interesting and worth trying. The feel of the restaurant leans a bit casual, but it is very cozy inside and the service is good. Definitely a place we will keep in our rotation for good Italian food.
Outstanding food and service, looking forward to our next visit...
The food was excellent, especially the homemade pasta, salads and many choices for main courses. The veal picata
was authentic and perfectly prepared and presented.
The wine list was limited but with good value choices.
The service was friendly and professional.
We were staying in a nearby hotel for a week. After our first excellent meal we returned a second time to sample additional menu selections. Both visits concluded with the choice of profiteroles for desert.
Highly recommended authentic delicious Italian cuisine.
Food and service were exceptional!! We plan on coming back very soon!
This is the best Italian restaurant that I have been to in the Charlotte area. Food was expensive but well worth the money spent. Looking forward to many future visits.
Our second time there and they didn't disappoint! Lobster and shrimp stuffed ravioli was excellent! Patrick was our waiter and he was on point.
Absolutely amazing experience! The service and the food were excellent.
The food was fantastic! They even found a wonderful dish for me because I don’t eat pasta. Our server was spot on and knowledgeable. It is a beautiful space and I thoroughly enjoyed it. For us this is a special occasion as it is a bit on the pricy side for our budget. But we will defiantly be back. The purple rain cocktail was our servers suggestion and it was outstanding. My fiancé tried the Tuaca brandy and now has to try to find where they sell it. Lol. Over all an outstanding experience.
Anniversary Dinner. Vincent was amazing and will be back.
The food was great, and our reservation was quickly set up.
Food was great and service was friendly and very attentive. Food arrived in a timely manner.
Both of us had the veal picatta. It was wonderful....best picatta sauce we've ever had! The Ceasar salad could have had a bit more dressing, but it was good. The bread and dipping sauce were both excellent.
EVERYTHING great except the noise level. They really need to do some sound attenuation on the ceiling of the main. dining room. Questioning if we will go back until there do something so we can enjoy our meal.
We love Oggi in Ballantyne. We shared the beef carpaccio, salad, and lobster ravioli's. Everything was to die for. Can't go wrong with anything on their menu!
Coffee and soup were cold. Our server did warm them up.
It was my second time this week and the food was amazing as always. It is not loud because of Covid it was extremely peaceful and a great experience.
Went out for Bday ... this is the 3rd time dining out since Covid ... I was concerned - But was Very Pleased how it played out !!! --- We sat on the covered porch / patio -- the only couple there (it was a Sunday) -- Very quiet / Excellent Service - Great Food !! All very reasonable .... considering the quality !!
I know they would like more diners - and I would like them to stay in business ... but for this meal / it was awesome.
I cannot say enough Good !
The food and the aroma of OGGI was pleasing. Our waitress hustled. However, the only thing about the restaurant that said Italian was the food and aroma. Definitely a lack of decor (other than a few abstract oils on the wall); nothing in the decor said Italy. No ambiance.
