The appetizers came quickly too Meatballs were delicious. The calamari was perfectly cooked and not tough. Zucchini chips were very tasty and crispy The chicken piccata was wonderful It is a fried chicken cutlet with an artichoke lemon caper sauce. It came with a lightly sauced pasta. I asked for extra lemon and i think that was important to add flavor and moisture Others had alfredo and spicy rigatoni We were all happy with the service and food The price was expected because of the location,ambience and overall quality This will be on our return list

We've also had Tim, who was very attentive, and made great drinks. The ambiance is always wonderful. We usually sit at the outside bar, which we love, but we've sat inside a few times too and enjoyed it just as much. The food is consistently delicious! My mom and I are obsessed with the kale and goat cheese salad, and one of our favorite combinations is splitting that with the Sunday Night Lasagna. Sharing a salad and an entrée is the perfect amount of food for us. On our recent visit, my mom ordered the Pig Pizza, one of her go-to dishes, while I tried the braised short rib lumache. Both were delicious! Def one of my favorite places in Birkdale!

The pizza has just the right crust I like, a little chewy but not so much that it ruins the pizza. It was cooked perfectly, and tasted amazing. The garlic knots were even better, they provided plenty of sauce which is always a gripe of mine as I love to use the sauce liberally. We also got a gluten free pizza which is great that they have available. It wasn't as amazing as the regular as GF basically never is, but it was also quite good and we were glad it was available since we have a celiac who can't enjoy standard pizza.

Food Truck Village…read more I hit the back button and it did that thing where it deleted whatever it wanted and it was going to be Trick Village. Would that have driven more or less business? As it stands right now, Food Truck Village is a cool place. It has the potential to be a future tourist destination. Take out the car wash and add a Central Focus--an oversized ice cream truck with universal music. Rework the parking and build walkways through the village and you have yourself a tourist destination. Make sure there are separate paths to each food truck so one truck doesn't get all the first foot traffic. Add a colorful sign with a simple map. All food trucks would benefit immensely. For Mike's Pizza, very good pizza and the owner is friendly. It always feels good to support privately-owned shops. The six-slice pizza is $14 before tax and it takes a while but it's fresh and worth the wait. Definitely recommended. I didn't know where to park since there are no lines and my son (also shown in the pictures) told me I couldn't just park anywhere. Nobody else there so no big deal. You can do the same, but I don't recommend parking in the car wash or in the tent. We shall return to Food Truck Village! Perhaps they can add one more truck for now: Big Truck from Coal Chamber.

Yesssssss this pizza is legit! The ingredients are high quality across the board, and what really…read morestood out to me was the crust. It's crispy, charred, and chewy - that's like the trinity of pizza crust in my opinion. 5 stars hands down, I can't believe I haven't ordered here before. I got the sausage pizza and added mushrooms - super solid order if you're looking for inspiration. Both the sausage and mushrooms tasted fresh, and I love the style of sausage they're using. Sometimes it's hit or miss on sausage and this one is a complete hit. Give this truck your business, if we're lucky enough it'll turn into a permanent pizza storefront here in Cornelius someday. We need it!

I'll get the negative out of the way first. We were quoted a 30-40 minute wait for a table, but…read moreended up waiting close to an hour and 20 minutes. We were told there was a large party in the back that had already paid and finished eating but was still sitting at the table. I completely understand that asking a paying customer to leave can be an uncomfortable situation, but when a large group has finished their meal and remained for another 30+ minutes, it ultimately meant more than 10 other parties were waiting to be seated. It feels like a lose-lose situation for the restaurant either way, but I do think management needs to have a plan for situations like this. The wait was especially frustrating because we were given a much shorter estimate initially. I'd also love to see them start accepting reservations -- it would make the experience much easier to plan around. Now, for the important part: the food! Once we were seated, everything came out quickly, hot, and delicious. We all started with the Caesar salad, which was well-dressed, flavorful, and a great classic way to start the meal. We each ordered a different entrée, and everyone loved what they got -- always a good sign when you're dining with a group! We finished with the cannoli, which was the perfect ending to a really nice meal. We will definitely return because the food was that good. I just hope management can address some of the front-of-house issues, particularly the long waits, enforcing reasonable table turnover when needed, and adding reservations. The food is worth coming back for -- hopefully the overall experience improves to match it!

We still frequent Novanta for dinner, as they consistently have excellent food, service, and…read moreprices. Their grilled Caesar salad is large enough to share, with deliciously charred romaine and homemade dressing. We also love sharing the arancini when we are not in the mood for a salad. For entrees, you can't go wrong with their pizza. It's one of our top favorites in the CLT area, as it's cooked in a wood-fired oven, and is both crispy and full of toppings. My husband particularly enjoys the Capricciosa, with artichokes, ham, mushroom, basil, and fresh mozzarella. Their calzones are really good, too. I usually get their lasagna, which is served in a bowl and is made to order. Their bolognese has a complex flavor, and the sauce-to-cheese quotient is just perfect. I always have some leftover to take home. If you have room for dessert, I highly recommend the deconstructed cannoli. It's homemade, and divine. Their gelato is well thought-out, served with a side of espresso to soften the ice cream and add a unique flavor. Presentation is carefully and well-thought out. Service is always good as well, no matter what time of day you visit (we prefer early dinners). We love this place, and will keep it on our "short list" for nearby dining!
