To our surprise we were treated by the owner who found us a seat at the bar along with giving us a full tour of this magnificent restaurant that aims to please. From start to finish they have thought of EVERYTHING. Our Christmas party was in a special room that was located in the same building but away from regular customers. We were served buffet style and it did not disappoint! The Caesar salad lettuce crisp, flavorful and topped with the most divine house made croutons. I thoroughly enjoyed a sampling of the chicken Marsala penne vodka and shrimp scampi. If you looking for a true Italian experience this is your place. Also, so perfect for large events. We will be back for dinner very soon.

I came here a couple weeks ago for a quick dinner to use some dine rewards. I was able to redeem a…read morecouple at once which was nice. I arrived around 5 PM on a Saturday and it was not crowded at all. I sat at a booth next to the bar and had a couple glasses of Chardonnay. I redeemed the appetizer reward for some fried mozzarella because I had been craving that for a bit. For the entree, I went with the carbonara. I enjoyed all of my food and drink here. It was hot, tasty and my server was friendly and made sure to check in regularly. Bread service was a perfect starter to! This location is close to the climbing gym so it was nice to be able to fill up after a good climbing session. Otherwise this is a bit farther from center city so not sure I'd make it out too frequently. @azfitfoodfun

We love this south Charlotte Inizio location!…read more After spending 2 weeks in Italy, we naturally became pizza snobs a couple years ago. But let me just tell you, Inizio delivers fresh, unique flavors on the most delicious wood fired crust! I have always loved the pistachio pizza and we picked the spicy diavola to share this time. I don't go to pizza places for salad, but we were trying to be healthy so we ordered the chopped Italian salad. Ya'll. It was incredible!! The salad was perfectly dressed and seasoned with lots of veggies and salami on there. I couldn't stop eating it! Big fan!

Portofinos n the Arboretum (delivered)…read more Can I just say how much I love this place! I ordered veal piccata with linguine and a chicken franchise with fettuccine. Really great portion with the chicken, very tender and flavorful. The breading was excellent not too heavy beautifully seasoned. The veal is slightly firmer, great flavor, cooked good - wish it was a little bigger portion, but I understand veal cost more than chicken. Got salads and tried House and Caesar - very good My only suggestion -- I love pasta and fettuccine is my FAVORITE! I would suggest linguine for BOTH because it's smaller in size (slightly) so holds the flavors/sauce much better. You can get any pasta - but my personal opinion - should've gone with cappelini for both it would've held the sauce even better. Excellent flavors - I love lemon and capers! The pasta was cooked PERFECTLY! If anything? I wish the chicken francaise had more sauce because I know when I finish it tomorrow, it's gonna soak up even more and taste so good! Lastly? They give you the bread. Oh my God, you could put a chunk of butter on there or dip it in olive oil with Parmesan or you just eat it plain - so good!!!!

The waitress was horrible . I asked about the food specials and after asking her to repeat things three times I gave up. She had a very put off demeanor as tho she wasn't interested in helping or serving us. She never offered us a refill of any water and never cleared any of our salad or dinner plates. Finally another waitress came by and helped us. Offered us water refills and cleared the table. The food was meh. My spaghetti tasted like it had been in the oven warmer too long and was really not good. It was spaghetti. How do you mess that up ? It wasn't good. Hubs had the veal Parmesan . It was good . For dessert I order a tiramisu thinking maybe that would be the better ending to this horrible dinner situation. It came to us covered in a bottle of Hershey's syrup. So bad - I couldn't do it and knew the waitress wasn't coming back so I asked for the manager . Got a replacement tiramisu that was better, but honestly by then I simply wanted to leave. I have been to two other Portofino locations and never have had such a put off experience or really bad and uncaring waitress. I won't make this mistake again. Ever.
