Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in South Charlotte

We had a fantastic dining experience! The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. John, who took care of our table, was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was great, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Amazing and fresh gourmet food served in a light and airy atmosphere! I recommend the pasta, pizza and salad!

First time here and it was a great experience. We came for lunch on Valentine’s Day and it wasn’t too busy. The food was delicious! I got the salmon and my date had the chicken skewers. Both were delicious! The atmosphere was nice with dim lighting so it provided a kind of romantic setting which is wonderful for a date. I highly recommend!

We absolutely LOVE Dolce..... just like home cooking and also our frequent visits to Italy. Their value is excellent in terms of quality AND price... and honestly, you feel like you are in your Italian family's home enjoying a fabulous meal...... The selection of Italian wines is superb. To a person, staff and management are first-class...... we could eat there every night! If you have not had the opportunity to enjoy Dolce...... absolutely encourage you to go have a special evening, a fun date night or just for any reason.

Just had a killer night at Napa on Providence with a couple of friends. We snagged seats at the bar and dove into the harissa cauliflower, whipped goat cheese, and octopus. The harissa cauliflower had just the right kick, the whipped goat cheese with pickled beets and truffle honey was a creamy delight, and the octopus was tender and flavorful.  Our server, Gigi, was on point—super friendly and knew her stuff. The vibe was laid-back yet classy, making it a perfect spot to unwind. If you’re looking for a place with great food, drinks, and atmosphere, Napa on Providence is a solid choice.
