As I pulled in, I noticed the Mountain Dew umbrellas--a classic sign of a great hole-in-the-wall joint. We spoke with Nora (the owner), and she instantly felt like family--just like talking to my grandmother. Everything is made from scratch, and wow, it's fantastic. I started with two slices of pizza, which were great, but then I tried the calzone and the Euro burger... holy cow! If you're looking for a well-priced meal and want to support a local business with a rich history, this place is a must. Make sure to say hi to Nora at the front!

The thin crust was a little soggy until getting to where it's a little thicker where it was absolutely buttery delicious.

The owner was initially there by herself. What looked like her son came in later. She was very nice and checked on us a couple of times to make sure we had everything we needed. I'd go again to try another dish to see if it has that homey Italian taste.

So first and foremost when it comes to unbiased reviews from a full perspective of traveling all…read moreover the world and eating at some of the best restaurants in the entire world - Michelin stars included I want to say when it comes to Carrabba's wine dinners you are literally getting some of the best value food and wine TOGETHER literally in the entire country. You will not see and I guarantee consistent wine dinners for $65 dollars for brands like Stags leap or Orwin Swift and tons of amazing Napa valley wines for this pricing and value and overall quality. You may think $65 dollars per person is expensive if you're middle class or lower but I'm here to tell you really don't know what you're getting here at these...you're getting basically 4 glasses of quality wine sometimes more if there's extra but any bottle of wine at a restaurant that is decent will cost you 30-50 bucks minimum that's number 1. Number 2 the 4-5 course meal is always too much to eat and there's always another full meal just from that alone you can have the next day depending on the food selection so you're getting 2 meals basically right there. Then after the meal they always offer any entre on the menu outside of a 40-50 dollar filet for 10 dollars so it could be a 30 dollar entree basically for 10 dollars on top but that could be additional 2 meals as well. So translation here in English - for $75 1-2 times a month you're getting 4 high quality meals and 4 glasses of wine plus there's contests to win candles and free bottles of wine and even free wine dinners. Sometimes they will even offer you a 40-50 dollar bottle of wine they have extra from the vendor for 10 dollars too just because you came to the wine dinner. So if you're like me and you're sick of dropping/burning 300-500 dollars at Eddie V's or STK which we all know is never even close to worth it or you are going to wine dinners at Napa on Providence, Foxcroft, DTR, ect that do offer wine dinners for 125-150 you need to go to a couple of these and actually see how it matches the same value and the blue smoke and mirrors those places may give you'll thank me later because now you'll be able to afford 2 wine dinners a month at Carrabbas instead of 1...there's really absolutely no reason in this economy all these wine dinners are packed out the door because I swear you get double if not triple the value you would get anywhere else. So unless you like burning money which is a federal crime by the way I highly suggest going to at least one of these to see what I'm talking about. At the end of the day you can do whatever you want to do I'm just a kid what do I know ‍

The salad was delish as always but they should have been ashamed at that pizza they sent out. Soggy, half cooked and cold.

Just wasn't that good. For an Italian restaurant I would certainly have expected better.

Homemade tiramisu topped off our fabulous meals, which also included chicken parmigiana and "Marry Me Chicken." The latter dish came in a creamy white sauce which I thought my brother-in-law was going to lick off of the plate! We came away feeling pampered and appreciated and ready to return. The décor is clean and crisp with touches of Italy in the artwork. White lights adorned the windows and archways, evincing a magical, cozy atmosphere. To show that Christmas is coming, white and red poinsettias graced each table along with white tablecloths.

Via Roma does them right. Perfect blend of white wine, lemon and garlic. They are perfectly tender and not chewy. Branzino. 1000/10. If i could eat this everyday, i would. Two delicate yet hearty sea bass filets atop perfectly crispy julienne vegetables. This is one of my favorite dishes in all of charlotte to eat. It's clean, healthy, lightly seasoned yet hearty, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Two big fish filets on a large portion of veggies. I couldn't think of a way to make this better if i tried.

Here's what I ordered: Meatza Pizza This pizza comes with pepperoni, Italian sausage, beef, and ham on a thin crust. Overall, I needed more sauce. Without it, the pizza felt more like an oversized breadstick, and the toppings didn't blend together the way they should have. Buffalo Wings I asked for them fried hard, but it seems that request was overlooked. The buffalo sauce itself had good flavor, but the wings just didn't hit the mark--the meat wasn't very appetizing. I would consider giving them a second try because the menu has a lot to choose from, but one employee (who seemed like a manager) really dimmed the experience. While I was there, the phone rang. She walked over, picked up the receiver, slammed it back down, and said, "Oops. I guess they didn't want anything," then laughed and walked away.
