    We're here visiting from California and wanted to try an Italian restaurant and found this on yelp so we decided to give it a try based on what we saw on the menu. The carpaccio could've used more flavor. The mussels in white wine and garlic sauce was my favorite! So flavorful and delicious. The pastas were okay. My husband got the Sorrento and it wasn't bad it lacked a little flavor but my seafood pasta was a little too salty but the extra $4 for the fresh pasta was good. The bottle of moscato we got was really good and my affogato was good as well

    Headed into Dolce Osteria today because I was in the mood for some authentic Italian fare while in town. My husband and I believe it was a perfect choice. It wasn't too busy when we arrived around 5:30 p.m. We were seated immediately, and the table was nice and clean with cloth napkins and a cloth tablecloth. We were given bread with a little salad made with cannellini beans . I forgot the name of it, but it was darn delicious. Our server was Fernando, and goodness, he was so informative and polite. I enjoyed that he answered every question I had. We ordered our drinks and then waited to order once the drinks arrived. We ordered the Carpaccio as our starter. Once it came out, it was really good, and the freshness of the arugula was great. I enjoyed the steak that was paired nicely with the bread served. They take a little bit of time to make the food here because it is fresh and so worth it. It also gave us some needed alone time. Fun fact: the pasta noodles are made fresh here. My husband ordered a Caesar salad with chicken. He enjoyed it very much and finished it. I ordered the pasta special of the day. It was a pasta with calamari and shrimp , baby spinach, and a white wine sauce. It was tremendously delicious . It wasn't overly salty, and goodness, the taste of the sauce--mmm. We ordered dessert... I had a cappuccino accompanied by a tiramisu made in-house. Both paired deliciously. My husband had some vanilla gelato and enjoyed it very much. I will add that I truly enjoyed this little restaurant, and the pasta, GOODNESS, was so good, lol. Also, seeing how the employees worked seamlessly together was superb.

    We decided to dine at Dolce Osteria during Queen's Feast restaurant week and had a great time! We started with stuffed mushrooms, and prosciutto and burrata. Burrata cheese in America is just so underwhelming. Meats and cheeses over here lack the flavor and intensity we fell in love with in Italy. We moved on to the main course and ordered the lobster gnocchi and pappardelle with wild boar ragu. Both were delicious. The lobster gnocchi was very rich and buttery. My favorite part of the whole meal was dessert! That mascarpone cheesecake was heavenly and don't even get me started on the homemade tiramisu! There were 2 mix ups to mention. They delivered two pappardelle dishes to our table instead of the lobster gnocchi. So my food sat in front of me while we waited for them to go get the lobster gnocchi that my husband ordered. Another thing - Two $50 Queen's Feast meals with a $40 bottle of wine adds up and when we checked our bill, the grand total was only $43. We brought it to our waiter's attention and he adjusted it to the full amount. Not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to be comped for the two inconveniences. The interior is super cute and reminded me so much of a family restaurant in Italy. The tables are very close together so you can definitely hear conversations going on around you. They were super busy and the wait staff was running back and forth constantly. If you're looking for an intimate date night, maybe choose something with less hustle bustle. I highly recommend reservations. There are not many tables, and people were waiting in a long line out front on a Saturday night.

    Can't be bothered to clear the table.

    Never experienced service like this. Waiter neglected to clear the original wine glasses from the seating. My wife and I each had two glasses of wine and this was our table at the end of the night. F- service wouldn't begin to describe this. Also $4 for homemade pasta with the chicken Parmesan for a minimal serving was comical.

    A cute little restaurant tucked away in the Dilworth neighborhood of Charlotte, I was able to walk in this quant restaurant on Valentine's Day without a reservation and the staff was so kind and attentive! My only complaint is the waiter forget to tell me the special it wasn't until after I had my food that I overheard him sharing with another party... my food was amazing the pasta was perfect the sauce was amazing and even the topping that comes with the bread was delightful!!! Portions were great too you will not leave hungry! Cannot wait to go back and try some more of their authentic Italian dishes!

    A South End staple, and for good reason! Went on Sunday and…read moreenjoyed my lunch immensely. I opted for the Entree (chicken) with two sides (mixed roasted vegetables and their feta carrots), and a glass of their sparkling white wine. The service was so kind and helpful, and the girl who took our order was the absolute sweetest. Our food came out quickly, and everything was great. The chicken was juicy and lemony; the vegetables were all PERFECTLY roasted and tossed in a variety of seasonings. The carrots were really standout, with a creamy feta sauce and tons of fresh dill. Even the sparkling wine (from a can!) was good! Can't wait to go back and try more.

It's such an easy go-to for us that we'll sometimes come here two days in a row on the weekends. The only downside is order consistency. They've missed sides a few times--most notably the sweet potato fries that come with the steak entrée were left out on two DoorDash orders in a row. Dining in, we also had a side of potatoes that never came out with our meal and had to go back and ask for it near the end. They'd easily earn more stars if they could consistently get the orders right. That said, the food is good enough that we keep coming back despite the occasional misses.

I don't usually consider them for meals but every now and then when I am craving something sweet they hit the spot! Vitality Bowls is a chain originating out west that now has a home in Southend Charlotte at the Railyard development. Since my office is nearby, some coworkers and I decided to order ahead and walk over to enjoy our bowls. In addition to açaí bowls they offer sandwiches, wraps, smoothies, and other types of bowl/salads. The server was friendly and our food was ready and packaged to go when we arrived. I decided to go with the Nutty Bowl. No I admit I am somewhat of a novice when it comes to açaí bowls, but in the past when I get them, they usually come with a lot of toppings and drizzle that not only adds to the flavors and presentation, but makes the bowl more filling and dense. The bowl I received was perfectly tasty, it just felt a little bit underwhelming and underdone. It was light on the toppings and seemed like it was tossed together quickly. Now the simple explanation could be that since we made a larger order ahead of time the person making them may have been under pressure to finish each one faster before moving on to the next. I certainly want to go back by myself and order in the store to see how the bowl compares. I really did enjoy the blend they used for the base of the bowl and I can tell it was made using fresh ingredients. For what it's worth my coworkers all enjoyed their sandwiches as well. I will have to give it another shot
