Garlic flatbread
Evan D.

Had to drop another plug for Marchellos Neighborhood Italian in Denver because this place continues to live rent-free in my stomach. If you're into sweet red sauce, melty cheese, and that no frills family-friendly neighborhood Italian restaurant vibe, this is your spot. Charlotte rush hour tried to stand in my way, but nothing was stopping me from this meal. Took an hour to get there, 30 minutes back, and I'd do it again tomorrow. Yes, I ordered the eggplant parm again. When something is that good, there's no reason to switch it up. Perfectly fried, covered in melted cheese, and drenched in Marcello's house-made sweet red sauce. It might be my favorite eggplant parm near Charlotte, but I'll let you be the judge. I got the penne alla vodka as my side for the entrée, and it delivered. Rich, creamy, and well-balanced without being too heavy. I also had a side of meatballs, which were a very respectable size and packed with flavor. The stuffed clams came packed with seasoned breading and sitting in a buttery, garlicky, lemony sauce. I was shamelessly using the house bread to soak up every last drop like I had something to prove. And tonight? The dining room was packed with more Long Island Italian grandmothers than a Staten Island church basement on Easter Sunday. I swear every other table had a Nonna holding court and quietly judging my plate like I was dating her granddaughter. That's how you know the food's the real deal. If you go, ask for Marshall and tell him I sent you. They'll treat you like family. The kind that insists you eat more even when you're already full. And don't skip dessert. Marshall's wife makes a Key Lime Pie that's South Floridian approved by me, and the ricotta cheesecake is the kind of dessert that lingers in your brain long after the check hits the table.

Undercooked eggplant

This is based on a to go order placed on 8/11. We were excited to try a new local Italian place with a menu that looked promising. I grew up in Western NY and have always had great Italian, but have been in Charlotte 13 years. We have some "go tos" for Italian in Charlotte, but want something close! We didn't enjoy Matilleos either when it was here as a precursor. Positives: They packed the to go food with care! No spills. The actual flavor of the sauce is very good. Certain things are definitely homemade. We enjoyed the dressings and sauces. Negatives: Portion size. Portion size. Portion size. I got chicken and eggplant parm ($19). The chicken looked as if they took a breast and sliced it in 4 thin slices and you got 1/4 of a thin chicken cutlet. Underwhelmed. The portion size of the eggplant was also small and it was undercooked. The sauce was good and generous on cheese. The lasagna was a child portion for $16. Food not as described on the menu. The penne was missing the meat that was in the description. But the rigatoni that I chose as my pasta with the chicken parm did come with meat. No bread was included. We ordered the "garlic bread" which was the pita bread Matiellos also served. Why why why?! People want Italian bread (INCLUDED) while enjoying their Italian food. Disappointing. I disliked that pita and was hoping for something different! It was over $4 for a tasteless pita. Bottom line: Maybe eating in house is different?! Maybe the issue was we got it to go? But this was incredibly underwhelming for over $70. I'll keep an eye on if things change.

The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between cozy and thoughtfully designed. We started off with the pepperoni bites as an appetizer and each got a salad, Caesar, Strawberry, Antipesto and Chicken all filled with quality ingredients and flavor, very well-prepared and satisfying. We finished with cake and cheesecake. The blueberry lemon cake was a bit on the stale side (don't order if it's the last slice in the dessert booth), the cheesecake and chocolate peanut butter cake hit the spot. Service is another standout--friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making your experience enjoyable. You get the sense that the staff takes pride in what they do, and it shows. Bottom line: Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service--definitely worth a visit (and a return trip).

Linebergers is ALWAYS good, and is a common trend between get-togethers within my family. Be…read morewarned, there is no signal for your phone, nor any WiFi. They used to have a sign that said "No WiFi, talk to each other," But didn't see it this time around. Anyways, Linebergers is a great spot to eat at if you are looking for some good food in the Lake Norman-Mooresville area. This is a fairly casual steakhouse, so if you don't dress up you won't be the odd ball in the room, but you certainly have a choice. Every server is fantastic. They are friendly, they treat you like family, and are quick. To my knowledge, almost every entree comes with a trip to the salad bar. They have the BEST salad bar. DO NOT SKIP ON THE SALAD BAR! They also give you warm rolls with "Texas Roadhouse style" honey butter to start. I highly recommend the prime rib as an entree. Don't get me wrong, it's not the absolute best prime rib I have ever had, but it is up there. It has great flavor, is seasoned well, and is tender. Their creamy horseradish is just ok, but that does not ruin the quality of the meat. The last couple of times they put chopped onions in my mac-and-cheese, which was weird and didn't taste good at all, but luckily this time there were no chopped onions. Both my older and younger cousins got the mac-and-cheese also, and one said that the cheese was too bland, while the other said that the cheese was too strong (sharp). Me personally I think that it is on the more bland side, so Linebergers can take that advice and apply it into their recipe, but nonetheless it is still good. They have the best dessert called the "Lake Norman Mudd Pie," which is essentially a layer of vanilla, coffee, and chocolate ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, and Oreo pieces. It is a good treat to have every once in a while, but is rich!! But, if you want a sweet treat, I would recommend opting for that. As a summary, the hospitality at Linebergers is unbeatable and has some pretty solid food (don't forget about the incredible salad bar). Once again, if you are in the area, do not miss out. Head to Linebergers! You will not be disappointed.

The country vibe was quaint. If it was a $70 meal I'd say it was great. At $120 I'd prefer a steakhouse like Epic, Flatiron Grill or The NY Butcher Shop.
