| - We cannot say enough about the meal we had here last night!
First, understand that we were in the Charlotte area for my son's college graduation. Since my father's 78th birthday was only a week away and he and my mom were with us for the graduation, we decided to surprise him with dinner a week early on Saturday night.
HOWEVER, when I booked online with OpenTable, I accidentally chose 5/21 (his actual bday) instead of 5/14 (the night we were going to be in town). I didn't realize this until we arrived at the restaurant only to find we had no reservation!!!!!
So, some how, they were able to squeeze us in...turns out, it was also the local college graduation so every place was busy. They had to juggle things around a bit, it is a rather small location. The patio looked beautiful although we were seated inside which was intimate and great for the four adults and conversation.
Calamari, perfectly cooked, tender,not chewy at all!
I had the braised rabbit ravioli (to die for!) and my husband had the veal piccatta, my mother the chicken marsala, and my dad had the seared duck breast. We tried a side of the brussel sprouts with honey...we all detest BS's..but these were phenomenal and we will have to try and recreate them at home. Every dish was fabulous (we tasted everything)! If we could have licked the plates, we would have...my mother and husband almost never finish all of their meal - there was not one speck of food left on any of our plates.
We all decided to go for dessert since the meal was so fantastic and were not disappointed. My husband and I had the tiramisu (delicious), my father the cannoli's (best I've had outside of Philly or NY), and my mother had the chocolate Granada (her eyes rolled back in her head).
Best Italian meal I've had in years. I only wish we lived closer so this could be a regular stop for us, because it surely would be. If you are visiting Davidson or the Concord/Charlotte area, it is worth the drive to experience this restaurant!
