    Pasta with sausage
    Marla R.

    I love chicken Marsala and this one was great. This cute restaurant has reasonably priced Italian food and is dog friendly for outdoor dining. The employees were all friendly and polite.

    Opens to the street for easy entry and fresh air

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I stumbled upon this place last summer with a friend and we sat at the bar and just to head there…read morespicy cauliflower and the bartenders selection. Everything was fantastic. The last couple of times I've been was with my work group. We ordered several items for our table and then we also ordered entrées. Each time I visited this location everything is very nice and clean and the food as spicy as it is is very well seasoned and tasty. All of the sauces and curry creams were cooked to perfection hot in temperature not too hot to enjoy. Our servers were very kind and patient and courteous to us as we made our decisions. 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!

Server just looked in my direction and kept moving - I definitely could have used a napkin or two. Portion sizes are good. Very nice ambiance- relaxing and inviting.

    Located inside the Carillion office tower on trade street you will find Arbol Eatery tucked away…read more It is a small and relaxing cafe that serves coffee, smoothies, and some delicious sandwiches including a very good quesadilla! It kind of has the vibe of a hotel lounge with comfortable couches and chairs for seating. Their menu isn't large or extensive but they do a great job with what they provide. I could see myself coming here regularly if it was located closer to my office. The amount of plants is a nice bonus as it adds to the relaxing atmosphere. The name Arbol Eatery really suits it. If you find yourself wandering Uptown and are in need of a quick bite or maybe just a place to lounge you should head to Carillion and find this place.

We tried four…read moresandwiches -- El Italiano, El Cubano, and Chicken torta -- plus the Caprese, and each one had its vibe and flavor. The standout for us was definitely the Cuban -- a super creative take on a classic, with that perfect balance of "original with a twist." El Italiano was a close second, packed with flavor and just the right texture. The torta was solid too, just a little spicy for my like, but I never checked if it was, and the Caprese made for a fresh, lighter option, it was missing the fresh mozzarella and fresh tomatoes. Service was fair. Overall, the place has a chill vibe, the food came out quickly, and we'd come back to try more of the menu.
