This review comes from a native New Yorker that has traveled the country and sampled supposed authentic Italian fair in almost every state in America. Well this place ranks near the top! Lynda and her daughter welcome you at the door to a warm, family establishment. Laughs and sounds of satisfaction ring throughout the entire place.
I took my mother here for her birthday while visiting her for the weekend. She was looking for a dish of veal parmigiana and I was hoping that one place besides a small establishment in little Italy could make a satisfactory dish of shrimp parmigiana. We both left with our stomachs full and expectations fulfilled and then some. The mussel red sauce was hearty yet light and could be a entree with bread alone. The pomoro sauce on both parmigianas had a very fresh taste and the veal melted in your mouth within the first two bites.
The super friendly staff, amazing meals and authentic atmosphere are second to none. The sauces, dishes and desserts will have you planning for your second trip back before you exit. A crown jewel of Charlotte! Lynda and her staff will make you feel like family and cook for you with the same love. 5 stars! PS...do not leave without trying the fried cheesecake. Simply phenomenal.
