A Charlotte, Southpark neighborhood restaurant frequented by locals. This restaurant does not deserve a 4-5 rating. Average food, I can smoke these guys in my kitchen at home, but my kitchen was 500 miles away today. Big portions, I had the Chicken Taratino with Angel Hair Pasta $14.95. Weak side salad with dated ingredients. Yes, the meal was okay, but overpriced for the level of quality. The wine list was intriguing with all Italian wines. I had the Velenosi Brecciarolo 2002 and found it to be excellent. Great wine prices on wines you might not know about. It did irritate me that they serve wine in the small cheap wine glasses that only hold 3-4 ounces when not completely filled. My issue is price value. Lets stack it up, Mini shopping center location, good service, but very average food at somewhat inflated prices. They have Serv Safe Certification (displayed on the wall in the bar) which is is good. Big pizza carry out business. Pizza is cooked in a deck oven, so off to a good start.
I liked the service and the staff was friendly. This is not a BAM!...sorry!! See my other review for a serious Italian alternative in Charlotte.
