Arrived around 6pm and while there…read morewas seating outside in their patio, it was way to hot for us so we opted to wait for a table to open up inside. Thankfully a group of people left so they opened up a bunch of tables not only for us but other patrons coming in as well. Once seated our server immediately took our drink order. She was very friendly and efficient. I ended up trying their white chilli and It was so delicious! I wasn't really hungry but this definitely helped out while drinking my glass of Pinot. Very small but quaint place. They have specials through out the week. Food is absolutely delicious. Definitely returning. We ended up staying until about 9 when they were closing down the restaurant and there were still people there. I can see this placr bring very popular during the weekend.

We love the family style meals available for takeout. Delicious, easy and super convenient!read more

Have to preface that I'm a Mama Ricottas SUPERFAN and didn't know quite what to expect with this…read moreconcept. It's certainly closer to my house (always a plus) and in my opionion, has easier parking (compared to the mothership). Don't get me wrong, I would definitely brave the Mama Ricottas parking lot to dine there... it's just nice not to have to worry about parking (I know, I'm getting old). Went here to celebrate a birthday and was so pleased with our experience. Staff and servers were super friendly and attentive to water, bread, pacing.... all boiling down to a great dining experience and delicious food. Since it was a birthday celebration, we started with some cocktails and moved to wine during the meal. The food itself is a smaller/concept menu, but same great food. I ventured away from my usual MR's go-to: Penne brocoli & chicken and went Ravioli that night - so good! Don't judge me, but we had 4:30pm reservations. Which made us one of the first tables (we weren't the first!) seated on the Saturday we visited. The entire dining room filled up within the hour so I'm so glad we had the time slot that we decided on. Got home after a great experience around 7pm, which was amazing (again- I am getting old).

The thin crust was a little soggy until getting to where it's a little thicker where it was absolutely buttery delicious.

The owner was initially there by herself. What looked like her son came in later. She was very nice and checked on us a couple of times to make sure we had everything we needed. I'd go again to try another dish to see if it has that homey Italian taste.

It was super busy, so I believe that a reservation is needed for the weekend, especially for larger groups. The vibe is a bit darker and moodier but with natural lighting- perfect for a date night but not limited to that. The espresso martinis, cocktails, beer, and mocktails were all delicious. They have amazing espresso martinis and aperol spritzes. The only dishes that I tried included the white truffle garlic bread, Sunday night lasagna, and the hot honey prosciutto pizza. Everything was delicious. A special shoutout to the Sunday night lasagna - WOW it was perfect. I'm usually not a huge lasagna person, but this changed that. I would 100% recommend this. Since we were celebrating my birthday with our parents, they were kind enough to give me a free dessert. I chose the salted caramel budino, and it was amazing. I would definitely recommend this as a dessert. Overall, we had a great experience! I would definitely come back.

Review for North Italia…read more has absolutely become one of my staples in Charlotte.** It's located in the heart of South End--a trendy, energetic neighborhood with beautiful outdoor dining--and one of the biggest perks here is easy parking, which, as any Charlotte diner knows, is always a win. Inside, the restaurant is gorgeous. Think large, comfortable booths, warm lighting, fresh flowers, and a lively but polished atmosphere. I always make a reservation through OpenTable--I'm too old to be waiting around to eat, and I might as well rack up some points and perks while I'm at it. One of the things I appreciate most about North Italia is their seasonal menu. It keeps the experience fresh and thoughtful, and you can tell the kitchen is paying attention to ingredients and timing. I usually start with a glass of wine-- a sparkling rosé or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc--something cold, clean, and refreshing. Bubbles are always a good option for me. They serve a delicious focaccia at the table, which I sometimes indulge in, but the dish that truly stands out--the one I still dream about--was a seasonal ravioli with butternut squash and crispy sage. It was beautifully balanced, comforting, and memorable in the best way. Other favorites: * The Caesar salad--perfectly dressed * The arancini and calamari--always solid starters * The pizzas, especially the cacio e pepe * And yes, the desserts are absolutely worth saving room for Brunch here is also a lovely experience. Sitting on the patio, eating alfresco on a sunny Sunday, reminds me so much of what I loved about California--being outdoors, enjoying great food, and taking your time. Thankfully, there's plenty of shade, so it's comfortable even on warm days. They do offer a happy hour. It's not the most extensive in town, but it's perfectly fine for drinks, a pizza, or a charcuterie board with friends after work. What keeps me coming back: * Consistently good service * Clean, beautiful space * Thoughtful seasonal dishes * Easy parking * Reliable quality Yes, it's a bit upscale--but it's approachable, welcoming, and dependable. And when a chef takes the time to create seasonal dishes that appeal to diners with curious palates, that deserves recognition. Bottom line: A polished, reliable favorite in South End that delivers great food, beautiful ambiance, and a consistently enjoyable dining experience.
