Well it was the last day of Charlotte's amazing Restaurant week and we decided to give Aria a try...I wish we could have ended on a better note....but here goes...
We made reservations and were seated immediately, while our waitress never told us what her name was, she did made suggestions on her favorite things on the menu...didnt really go over anything special just said that it's what she always ordered so we should give it a try?!!? So I guess that makes up for it?!?!
Moving on...What I did really like was the atmosphere we sat right in front of the open kitchen and everyone back there looked like they were working like bad scientist so again I had high hopes on the meal...It was clean, organized and was a very nice touch to the restaurant.
The warm bread and bean and oil dip was good, but nothing to special, now I will say my goat cheese and grilled chicken pizza was delicious...cooked with a nice crispy crust, grilled chicken, bacon and spinach. I had eaten half before I realized I hadn't taken a picture...oooops!
My main entree was the Linguini con Gamberi there were 4 large shrimp and a basil pesto sauce...and it was just ok...not great...not horrible just average, which was a huge disappointment...
Dessert was cheesecake...typical nothing special...
Needless to say it wasn't horrible food or a bad experience but it wasn't outstanding ..I really wanted to like Aria more... so I'm not sure I'll be back.
