The food was phenomenal from the burrata, cavatelli dish, and the FLAN…chef’s kiss!! Service was impeccable. It’s a quaint spot but bustling with livelihood. Highly recommend this place!

The food, the service, ambiance, even the restrooms are top quality! Get the duck, the flan and the espresso martini. Lilly is an excellent server and clearly takes pride in her job and the place she works.

This might have been our 5th time here and it never disappoints. In fact it’s always amazing. From start to finish. The drinks are in our opinion some of the best in Charlotte. PERIODT. And I’ve been bartending in Charlotte for years and they always impress us! The burrata is panty dropping good, and every dish we’ve ever had there was top tier. The pork chop is also really good and hard to find places that do it right. The menu changes seasonally and has the freshest farm to table ingredients and even makes the pasta in house!!! . Overall this is my top 5 restaurants anywhere. This is always the spot we tell people to try if visiting Charlotte. Perfect for date night or with friends. YOURE WELCOME ENJOY
