    Pesto Bianca, hot roni, and prosciutto pizzas
    Sarah C.

    Capishe was a fantastic dinner spot! The city view is incredible, and they validate parking for the garage next to it which was great. The food was reasonably priced and SO GOOD. You order and pay at the counter and then your food is served to you when it's ready. Quick service. Will be back soon!

    Linguine carbonara
    Kristina J.

    Interesting quick service italian restaurant serving a variety of menu items including pastas, pizzas and salads. They also offer a variety of desserts in a glass case and rotating flavors of gelato for purchase. The restaurant itself is very pretty with a mix of high top and low top tables. They have string lights strung up on the ceiling and garage style doors that were open when my group went which allowed for a nice breeze to run through the restaurant. I ordered the linguine carbonara which was delicious! The pasta was perfectly al denté and the sauce was flavorful and yummy. I only wish the pancetta was not cooked so hard as some pieces were a bit hard to chew /crunchy in an unappealing way. All of the pasta dishes come with bread, initially envisioned garlic bread or a breadstick but it was actually small squares of what could best be described as pita bread? Which felt like an odd addition and was not very good. I ended my meal with a chocolate chip cannoli which was delicious as well. The perfect amount of filling with a nice texture of the added chocolate chips. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my pasta and dessert and the service was quick and efficient. This is a great spot for quick lunch or dinner and nice enough to have a good conversation there.

    Fast service. Good food. Spacious. Validated parking. What else could a girl ask for?

    Met Albert out on a Harley Ride who happens to be the owner. After a long day of riding and socializing we headed over to the restaurant. Albert gave us a tour before letting us sample a few of the favorite dishes there. It was absolutely amazing and the staff service was exemplary. Cant wait to head back. Paul

    10'' San Lorenzo Pizza - seriously sooooo good!
    Kenny C.

    Wow! I came into this meal expecting a 4 star meal but I was happily surprised how great this pizza was. I got the San Lorenzo and the flavor combination was incredible. I need to start making this pizza at home - the sausage, sweet peppers, and onions worked so well together and really brought this pizza to life. I also did the Spicy Marinara Wings and they were good, but not amazing. I would have preferred them more crispy, but with oven roasted wings that's what you get. I'm going to try a dry rub next time, maybe it'll be a better texture. Overall I gotta go 5 stars because the pizza was that good.

    Food and service are both bad. Don't know how to bartend. If you get takeout pizza expect to have to cook it yourself when you get home. I live across the street from this place and I will never go here again.

    I must admit that my expectations for this restaurant were sky-high. I had seen incredible reviews and wonderful photos (especially of the pizzas), but I was disappointed and in full force. Let's start with the positives: a very pretty place, interesting decor, and beautiful pastries in the window that make your mouth water just by looking at them. Now for the points of concern: the furniture is very worn out, with a torn sofa, scratched and dirty tables. It's a very large space but clearly underused. We ordered a spicy Calabria and prosciutto pizza. The prosciutto pizza tasted ok, but I must admit that the prosciutto didn't seem to be of good quality and looked like lean ham. The spicy Calabria pizza was impossible to eat. We like peppers, but the level of it is so strong that you lose your taste buds. Each of us could only eat one piece and we left the whole pizza on the table. Unfortunately, there really was no way we could keep eating. The price is good, but I don't think I would go back because it didn't surprise us.

    Food Ordered the Angelina and added artichokes. Really liked how there were options with regular pizza sauce and with no sauce. A lot of great food options but was only in the mood for pizza. I enjoyed the light crust, that bufala mozzarella was something special!! Nice garlic flavor, as well. Service Exceptional! You order at the front then pick an area to sit. Sat outside with it being mild weather outside and they bring the food to you. We asked for napkins and plates and they brought those, also. As soon as we were done eating, they cleaned up the table immediately. Ambiance Indoor and outdoor seating make it a great place to take in the city sounds with great company. I will definitely be back when I'm in Charlotte.

    Rigatoni with chicken & mushrooms- DELICIOUS!
    Bob B.

    The food is good. BUT the parking garage charges you high fees even when capishe validates your parking ticket. Rip off for eating there & having to pay high fees for parking. Don't go here with a big group and stay over 2 hours.

    Fresh, flavorful, and made with care--Capishe delivers Italian comfort food at its best. The house-made pasta is silky and satisfying, the pizza dough perfectly crisp, and every dish feels thoughtfully crafted with quality ingredients. It's the kind of food that keeps you coming back. The ambience matches the food--modern yet welcoming, with exposed ceilings, hanging lights, and sleek industrial floors that give it a cool, urban feel. It's casual but charming, making it a great spot for anything from a quick bite to a leisurely meal. No fuss, just really good Italian. Capishe?

    15'' Margherita Pizza
    Nancy L.

    My friends and I ordered take out from here for dinner. We ordered the Margherita pizza, rigatoni with chicken, and the San Lorenzo pasta. All were delicious! The pizza is a thinner Neapolitan style crust with fresh ingredients. The rigatoni came with mushrooms and a light cream sauce which was not too rich at all. Really comforting. The San Lorenzo came with sausage and was pretty spicy! This was probably my favorite one. Even the free breadsticks that came with the order were fluffy and warm when they were delivered. It was overall delicious! I bet it'd be even better dining in.

    Carbonara with chicken
    Jonathan B.

    Food came out hot and on time. We also ordered a side salad that was good and plentiful. As for the carbonara pasta while the presentation was great, I wouldn't order again. It was very bland and lacked flavor especially in the noodles. Sadly I spent more time adding Parmesan and pepper to dress it up but still didn't do the trick. Maybe if I let it sit and try again tomorrow it'll be better. But seriously lacks flavor.

    Greasy 10'' Calabria Piccante

    I ordered the Calabria pizza and the antipasto salad. The pizza was so greasy it was inedible. I tried to get the grease off with napkins but even so it was so floppy and tasted like it was soaked in grease. The salad was fine. Also, it is counter service and they flip the screen around for you to tip. I tipped my regular 20%. When my salad arrived I asked for a fork and the lady bringing the salad told me I could get my own fork across the restaurant. They should make it clear there's no table service ahead of suggesting 20% tips.

This was easily the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant from start to finish. I'm not saying they're racist, but I can't say that they aren't. I'll let you be the judge of that. All I know is that none of the Caucasian people around me shared the same experience. Let me explain: We came for dinner before the Charlotte Orchestra show right across from the restaurant last Friday night. Let me start by saying that there were only 5-6 tables full at one time while we were there. I met my friend, who is also black, at 6:40; she had gotten there around 6:15 and placed her order. Not only had she not received her meal by the time I got there, 15 minutes later no one had come to our table to take my order until I flagged a waiter down and asked for our server. Meanwhile, every table that was sat around us was provided ice waters moments after arrival and their orders were taken promptly thereafter. When our waitress finally came to our table she either wasn't knowledgeable about the menu or didn't care enough to tell me what their current dip selection was, instead she said that she would check with the chef. I put in my order for the steakhouse burger that she recommended cooked medium and we waited a little over 15 minutes more before my friends burger came out and was taken to every table on the patio except ours before they took it back inside and then finally brought it back out to her. Needless to say the fries were cold at that point and the black bean burger was lukewarm. We were both starving so she reluctantly ate what she could before sitting it aside. I waited and waited for the waitress to come tell me what dips were in the trio appetizer before finally flagging her down as she passed our table without making eye contact. She finally told me and disappeared again after I added the trio to my order. My burger finally comes out over 30 minutes after I ordered it and it's raw, like pink all the way around and oozing bloody juices raw. I turn to my fries for sustenance and they are just meh but at least they're hot. Gotta celebrate the small wins. I show my waitress the raw burger and tell her that I don't want anything else because we didn't have time to wait since we're now late to our show due to the lack of service. She disappears again for so long that I had to go inside and find a manager who stated that they were "short staffed but that is no excuse." I accept the lame half apology and go back to wait for our check that never came. We had to go back inside and ask for it. When we did the manager finally said that he would comp both of our meals. That was the only highlight of the situation. I'm hopeful that the service has improved since this happened however I will continue to steer clear of this place.

They also made perfect combination for our selections. And the best selections for drinks and desserts. Since then, I've even ordered on Uber eats and my food came just as perfect. This is a great go to place for good Indian food. If you're in the uptown area it's located below the Green parking lot, which is across from the Knight theater. It's just a good place even if you want a good drink at the bar. Enjoy!

    I recently stopped by the restaurant in the Charlotte Westin: Dogwood Southern Table and Bar. The…read morespace was airy, modern and light with a 360 degree bar, high ceilings and well spaced tables. I was intrigued by the item "Chef's Bite", that's it, no further explanation. As I suspected, it was an 'amuse bouche' offered from the kitchen. Today it was a Deviled Egg with a mustard-forward center, even containing black mustard seeds for flavor and crunch. As a fan of Sicilian arancini, I ordered the Dogwood's version as an appetizer. I was surprised to see several small rice balls, the size of hush puppies. I was expecting a single larger offering; 'arancini' after all mean orange in Italian. The risotto spheres were stuffed with pimento cheese and instead of the typical marina sauce, the kitchen had substituted a tomato jam with a subtle sweet finish. It was a successful southern riff on a Sicilian standard. Although I had been directed to order the Duck and Dumplings, my eye drifted to the Shrimp and Grits. I hadn't had much Carolinian food this trip.... The dish did not disappoint. It was amply loaded with flavorful shrimp and accented with good-quality andouille sausage slices, all over a well executed plate of grits. Service was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. This one is going in the book to return to.

Ridiculous. The Dinner Menu is posted on front of the restaurant AND online, with no mention the limited menu was the only option. Our server told us he completely understood our dissatisfaction, and said that we were welcome to go elsewhere. At that point, we didn't have the time to shift gears or we would have done so. While 3 of 4 couldn't get what we came in for, the food we had was good. Duck & Dumplings was probably the best dish. Two got the Shrimp & Grits and said it was good. My Ceasar Salad with chicken was pretty tasty, too. Service from Devon was very good and food runners delivered food to the right spots without prompting. I went back later in the evening for a bite and cocktail at the bar and I was completely ignored. Bartenders kept just clearing and taking orders from people walking up. Infuriating. Its a shame that the restaurant is just poorly managed.
