My husband and I came from LKW for our anniversary because CIAA was in full swing....meaning we did not want to try to get a reservation in Charlotte. Although I mentioned it was our anniversary when booking, there was no mention of it on the night. They seated us at the "front and center" table, making it difficult for me to make out with my husband at dinner, but it was kind of ok because I looked so damn good that night.
Surprisingly for an Italian restaurant, there were only one or two vegetarian items on the menu, so I asked them to prepare a simple vegetarian pasta dish - which ended up consisting of spinach and a few pieces of the broccolini that you would normally throw away. It was OK......only OK. Unfortunately, it pains me to say that I have had better food at Olive Garden, which is depressing. My husband's lasagna was on the cooler side of room temperature. He said my lasagna was better, but I am a master of lasagna. The wine and bread were great, though!
I would not go back and I certainly would not recommend this place for a "special occasion" meal such as an anniversary. It's a good place for a casual meal if you are a local, I suppose.
