  • This new addition to Charlotte did a great job in exceeding our expectations on a recent snowy night. Aria serves Tuscan food in a contemporary environment, and I loved that the open bar with live music that kept us entertained for most of the night. We had a reservation at 9 on a Friday night. Good thing- as this place was packed! The restaurant is below street level so we were able to peek in as we walked along the sidewalk to gauge where we wanted to sit before walking in. Upon entering the front door, you are in a vibrant bar with a wall of wine from floor to ceiling. Glancing around, the open kitchen is the next thing to catch your eye and then you spy the seating area as the tables are filled with animated people all enjoying their food while listening to the live guitar music. I could have sat in the bar all night- but dinner was our goal! We were seated immediately and began to look at the menu. Our server, Carolyn was great! She knew the menu inside and out and was able to make some great suggestions for us. And the patrons were friendly too, as we struck up a conversation with the couple next to us within minutes of sitting down (but that's another story for another time) We began with the tuna carpaccio and the antipasto plate. The tuna came with asparagus and was terrific, and the antipasto? Gone in an instant but not before enjoying the salami, olives and cheeses. We decided to split a pasta and and a couple of entrees so that we could taste a larger range of the menu. The penne pasta with ricotta and vodka tomato cream sauce was perfection on a plate (would it have been wrong of me to lick the dish?). And the lamb chops were so good I didn't want to share them so my friend enjoyed his veal scallopini in peace. Dinner for two with drinks and wine came to about $130 which was great considering the quality of the food and the quantity of the drinks that we had. It was a great night out and the service was spot on. We walked to the restaurant but if you are driving- they do have complimentary valet parking and also validate for the Bank of America parking garage. Aria may be a new addition to Charlotte- but they have none of the new restaurant blues that so many places experience. Unless, of course you count the blues being played in the lounge, but on the night we were here- those were just the kind of blues we wanted to hear!
