I placed a…read moreto-go order for the first time, and the young lady who took my order over the phone was completely rude. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe it was just a busy Friday. However, when I came in, the place was practically empty, and her attitude was the same still rude and dismissive. I didn't catch her name, but she had brown hair clipped up with a claw and was wearing camo Crocs. If this is the kind of service I'll be receiving moving forward, I'll have no problem discontinuing my recommendations for this place and taking my business elsewhere. Ordered my usual Italian meatball sub and it was good per usual so just a bad seed it seems.

I would say, with a couple of small improvements, this could be a pretty good place…read more First off. Calling yourself an Italian Restaurant is a very big misleading statement. I would say you are a mid-size town café. I come to this conclusion because you don't get some very basic culinary fundamentals to call it an Italian Restaurant. Pre-cooking pasta is okay if you do it properly. Biggest point: there was no salt in the water while cooking the pasta. This is a must to add flavor; otherwise, it is very bland and tastes overcooked. Batch cooking pasta is done at 65% cooked, proportioned, and refrigerated. Then, when a customer orders it, you drop it into "Salted Boiling Water" to finish cooking it. Next, you can use frozen meatballs as long as you put them in spaghetti sauce at least 12 hours beforehand, so they don't have a frozen meat taste. Follow these suggestions, and it will quickly become a number-one seller as long as it stays reasonably priced. Last point: clean up the flea-market look in your dining room. There has to be a better layout that doesn't have a huge tub of Lance Crackers as your first impression. The help was friendly. The Food was hot.

After a long wait, we finally get our food and it's COLD! a few other tables sent their food back (after a long wait) because it was cold as well. I swear I heard a microwave go off a few times while I was there too. Pretty bland, doesn't seem like there's any seasoning at all. Also couldn't help but notice Vinny getting upset the waitresses weren't watching us eat. Personally, I don't like being stared down by staff while eating. Pretty expensive and reservation only with a dress code.

The overall feel of the restaurant is boring and could use a little TLC to make it feel more welcoming and warm. Theres nothing on the walls and a recommendation, they should add shades at the bar. Be warned, if you sit at certain seats at the bar during sunset, you will be blinded by the light! Our food was very good. We did have a hiccup with the linguine Vongole but the chef corrected it and it was much better second go around. The lasagna was awesome! Definitely something I would recommend trying! Desserts were also very good and you can tell there is a lot of thought in the menu. With it still being so new, it's understandable there are kinks still but we did enjoy our evening here and will be back.

I was so looking forward to a wonderful chef salad. I ordered a large chef sakaand could not be more disappointed. Their chef salad now contains thin, tiny little scraps of ham and four pieces of pepperoni and no other meat. It had a small portion of lettuce and some cheese shavings. It did have generous amounts of black and green olives. Not what I expect for a $12 salad.

What we got: *Chicken parmesean sandwich - this was massive! My husband got this and had half the first day, and I had half the second day as I liked his dish better than mine. This was very flavorful, could have used a little more tomatoes as that was overshadowed with all the other flavors of chicken, cheese, and pesto, but still oh so good. The fries that were served with the sandwich are nothing special, they are a shoestring fry, and I prefer thicker and more flavorful fries. *Bolognese - this was my dish, and I did not think it was as good as the reviews have suggested. It might be better fresh at the restaurant, but to me, it was just a very oily meat spaghetti type dish with thick noodles. For me, it needed more tomato flavoring vs the oil flavor that stood out. The meatballs were very good, though. My husband liked this dish more than me, so he was good with trading dishes the second day. Overall, we did enjoy what we ordered. We felt this was a good first impression, but we want to try more menu items made fresh at the restaurant when we have the chance.

Okay so inside was nice. I liked the Mediterranean decor. Food was just okay. I did like the Greek salad though it did not look like the photo. The complimentary bread with olive oil was good. The saganaki was not what we are used to and was not melty. It was very dense. I had the Suttons favorite which is filet over eggplant with Turkish cheese. It was a miss for me. It was sliced pot roast and the eggplant tasted like whatever sauce it was mixed with. My partner has beef and lamb kabob and he said it was not seasoned much. His came with fries and taziki. I tried the taziki and it was not for me. Overall fantastic service, great atmosphere and hit or miss on the food.

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).

Knowledgeable about the menu and she made the experience even more enjoyable. Side note: we ordered the single serving of the spaghetti and meatballs to split. They not only split the dish into two separate plates but didn't charge us for it- commendable. Next time I'm back in Charlotte this place will be first on my list to eat at.
