    Food was tasty and service was prompt, but there was a plate with food on it that was removed, and a request for grated cheese took a long time to make it to the table. Our waiter was excellent otherwise.

    Great experience. I was told its some of the best in Charlotte. Food was amazing, my favorite was the Chicken Marsala and the meatballs! Everything we had was great, staff was welcoming and super friendly. Would recommend to someone who wants a more authentic take on Italian in Charlotte.
