| - I use the word adore alot.. so i will say J'adore Toscana! Seriously, some of the best lunches and dinners I have had in Charlotte have not been at Del Frisco, Ruth's Chris, Morton's (though I have enjoyed them also) but at this quaint little hard to find spot...
I see someone said the service isn't good, this can be seen both ways, I love the staff there. They speak italian for the most part and struggle a little with communicating, but let me tell you, every time we came in, they knew i took sparkling water instead of flat and the little girl who never said a word to me EVER in all the time I had been going there never failed to automatically brine me my cappuccino at the end of my meal, as if she was reading my mind.. the menu is small, but the risotto and frittata change daily... my fave is the Rigatoni Buttera and the Bow Tie Pasta dish... the frittata when I am trying to be good about protein and the caprese is TDF!
The hostess there actually recognized me when she was working over at M5 and was happy to see me there too :)
It is a tiny dining room, but on sunny days you can sit in the courtyard.. the frito misto is yummy to start and share and the bean/oil dip for the bread that they provide is SO YUMMMY!
As a foodie, I really adore this little gem.. it reminds me very much of Europe, even the staff being a little scattered now and then doesn't bother me because that is SO truly italian. in italy they just close the restaurant when they feel like going home or having their own lunch or dinner.. lol.. i guess it is all part of the experience to me..
and they really are nice people... don't be put off by the language barrier, flash a nice smile, you will get one in return..
