This terrific casual Italian place in Charlotte's Midtown neighborhood is a great spot for lunch, dinner, or a couple of drinks after work. The food is wonderful, particularly their Penne Alla Vodka and their humongous calzones. Service is always friendly and prompt, and the covered patio overlooking the Greenway is a great spot in warm weather. There are better Italian restaurants in Charlotte, but for the price, Mama Ricotta's is consistently on target.
