This is a wonderfully comfortable place. That is a good thing.
The portions are bountiful and well-prepared from quality and fresh ingredients. There is no brilliance or even excellence in the cooking, but that is not what the place strives for. It is the quintessential neighborhood Italian restaurant, located appropriately enough in a small strip mall just outside of uptown Charlotte.
I have been here many times and never had service that was not friendly and prompt. I have enjoyed every meal there.
