Stopped in for lunch today and was seated back I the corner next to a wine fridge. The layout of the place is odd. It's like it's a pop up restaurant and they just scattered tables around the room. It needs a wall or something separating the dining area. There are a few pictures of Italy but the environment seems quite sterile compared to most Italian places I've been in.
There's full bar in the back as well and a counter where I assume can get take out orders.
The menu is broad and includes Italian specialties, pizza and sandwiches. I was craving a cheesesteak and went with that and added marinara sauce to o it.
When it came out, the sandwich looked promising. The roll was soft and may have been homemade. The meat was cut up well and provolone was melted on top of the meat. Onions on the bottom and marinara on top of the cheese.
The onions could have been cooked longer as they were still raw. I prefer my onions to be carmelized and these were slightly steamed. The meat was lacking something...maybe salt and pepper. Sauce was good but there needed to be more cheese. It was an Ok sandwich but not close to anything you find near Philly.
I'd like to come back and try some of their other options but the sterile environment may keep me away. I think there are better, more comfortable places around Charlotte.
