Their soups are again, delicious and elevated above many restaurants in the area. Staff are friendly and courteous. As a former Seattleite, I consider myself to be a serious coffee critic, and lover. They know how to make a wicked latte! Some of the best in Charlottesville. My only critique is that I wish they still had inside seating, too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. But that doesn't stop me from getting my food to go and making a mess of myself on the way home. LOL!

Better yet I respect the overall operation after a single visit and know they have their act together. Ivy Provisions is located just outside UVA grounds make it very convenient for this HOO Dad to check out the first time. Of course I looked at their reviews, menu and photos of sandwiches to properly vet. I was astonished and made this a must stop. I caught them at a good time on a weekday before close and better yet knew they were featuring lobster rolls on the Ivy Provisions Instagram feed. Parking was easy in their own lot. The non commercialized building was a welcome site. This is the one and only Ivy Provisions. Grab a bag of chips, salad or treat with a bottle drink as you head to the counter of Ivy's cozy space. The young gentleman was friendly and efficient with answering a few questions. My wife ordered the Gobbfather which is a Turkey Melt on white. I ordered the lobster roll special. Seating is all outdoors on the patio. Food orders are prepared and sent out in a bag through the window, you will find utensils and napkins in this location. The area was clean. The restroom is gender neutral and was also clean with proper supplies. My wife enjoyed her turkey melt and found it so big she could not finish. My lobster roll I had no problem dusting off. It was a beautiful roll with fresh Maine lobster and soft roll. Total home run. Find me back at Ivy Provisions the next time in Charlottesville. A full 5 stars and job well done all around.

Based on the name and logo this would not have been a place at which I would've chosen to eat if it were not in the same shopping area as crumbl cookies and we decided to just go ahead and eat here as opposed to driving down the street to Firehouse. The restaurant it replaced (Which wich) was much better and had more creative sandwiches. If they left, I'm not sure how this place is going to succeed. The service here was ok, a bunch of kids, not very friendly. The decor as someone else stated is very sparse and appears to be maybe family photos involving horses? A bit awkward. And the music was not pleasant and way too loud. It didn't even suit the decor. With Firehouse down the street, I won't be returning to the Mane Course. Sorry.

We also ordered the potato salad which we all tasted and gave a 2/5. Lastly we ordered a burger which was a frozen patty that was pink inside instead of well done and had zero seasoning. Maybe they had an off day but none of us enjoyed the food and everyone said it was mediocre.

Sister restaurant of Belle next door, I left with mixed reviews of this place…read more I was craving some pizza nearby, so I thought I would try it from Ciaccia with my friend. We both thought the pizza was lacking, to say the least. It just seemed like this Roman-style pizza was focaccia with a sprinkle of toppings, leaving all 3 pizzas tasting quite bland. Although we waited for the pizza to be heat up, it still wasn't hot when we ate it. On the other hand, their sandwiches, like the ones at Belle, are awesome. My friend and I ordered the Bionda and Straccia, and had no notes. Service was overall nice and you order at the register. There is no indoor seating, just the outdoor space. TLDR: If you visit Ciaccia, I'd recommend getting the sandwiches and not the pizza

This is in a strangely angled building, next to a cafe which has more indoor space and into which I…read more(and probably others) walked into mistakenly. The pizza shop has outdoor seating only and bread and cheese options only. It's a long rectangular pizza which is already prepared, and you point out how much you want of it and they slice it off for you. Mine was handed to me not warmed up, which was odd to me but was clearly an intentional choice so I just went with it. The two pizzas I tried-a garlicky one with ample mushrooms and a mouthwatering pesto-both delivered amply on flavor at room temperature. The foccacia-style crust was more filling than I anticipated, which is good, because paying by weight did not make it cheap. The hours here are limited to mostly lunch, but the quality was high enough that I was glad I made the stop.

We got the Italian Sub and Brisket Sandwich and an order of fries. It was 20 bucks and SUPER good. I can't wait to go back and try the breakfast sandwiches. The place is actually a true filling station at one time. The bathrooms are on the side of the building, just like it was back in the day. I wish you guys success in your venture. Good luck and we will return.
