    Cavatelli Nero
    Briana C.

    I have not stopped thinking about this restaurant since I went!! It is quietly tucked away and the parking lot is very small so I recommend taking rideshare if you can. But the food! The food is amazing. My friend and I split the meatballs to start and they did not disappoint! Then I decided to try the crab pasta. It was delicious but a very small portion which was a little sad. My friend had the lamb which I tried a bite of and it was very very good! I'll be getting that next time. I love the open kitchen concept. They also have a great patio! The staff were patient when I couldn't decide on what to eat and when we didn't realize they closed. They even offered dessert still and let me tell you.... I have been thinking about it since I had it. Best Tiramisu I ever had in my life and I don't like most tiramisu's! It's definitely worth checking this place out!

    First time trying The Jimmy's, my husband and I were excited and decided to grab a spot on the patio with our dog, Flanders. We were greeted by a server who gave us water and then explained she wouldn't be our server but the bartender would be. I think we must have come at a point during staff transition because I feel like the bartender shouldn't be a server too. Anyways, took awhile to be greeted by him and for him to take our order (he had 3 other tables to greet and take orders from). While we were waiting the manager brought out a water bowl for our dog, really nice touch! My husband and I wanted to try a few different items so decided to share. We started with the Salisccia Pizza ($23) which has House-made Fennel Sausage, red onion, and Ricotta cheese. The pizza had a great, crunchy crust and really good cheese. We did order a side of hot honey (which was a nice pairing) but when we got our bill we saw it was $4, which felt a bit steep. It would've been nice if our server (the bartender) had mentioned the upcharge before tacking it onto the bill. The other dish we ordered was the Linguini pasta ($20) with 6 pieces of shrimp, n'duja, yellow tomato, chili and mint. The pasta was solid but small for the price. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, the sauce had a bit of a spicy kick, and the yellow tomatoes added a nice pop of flavor. The mint was a bit of a no-show, but it didn't take away from the overall dish. The atmosphere at The Jimmy's was laid-back, with a decent crowd enjoying wine and cocktails outside, which made for a pleasant, relaxed vibe. Overall, I'd say it's a good spot to chill with friends or bring your dog, but a few small details kept it from being a standout experience for us. We'd probably come back, but with tempered expectations.

    Service was fantastic. Food is good...... had a PLT sandwich and my colleague had the chicken parm which was better than the sandwich. Also, I've had the meatballs on the dinner menu and was surprised at how delicious!

    Absolutely loved The Jimmy! Super cute restaurant in Myers Park with good vibes and great food and cocktails. The inside is bright and well decorated, but can get a bit loud. There is also a great patio space. One issue with The Jimmy is the limited parking lot, but you can also try to find street parking. The service was good and as fast as expected on a Friday night. I thought the food was delicious! We split a pizza for an appetizer which was great and I loved the cacio e pepe! I look forward to returning to The Jimmy!

    Tiramisu
    Cristina R.

    Solid Italian spot that we're happy to have in the area! The interior is comfortable and nicely lit, service is very friendly and helpful, and there's also a large patio. There's a parking lot behind the building, but it was full when we arrived, so we found street parking in the neighborhood. Now let's talk food! The cavatelli nero had a generous portion of blue crab, along with corn. These were tossed with black pasta - which I honestly would have appreciated more of to make this a heftier portion. Slightly spicy and flavorful with great texture. One of the specials for the night were mussels in a saffron broth. Although not the best mussels dish I've had in the area, the charred bread really complemented this dish well. Meatballs app was tasty and classic with flavorful, meaty balls in red sauce. We ended with tiramisu, which seemed a bit small for the price tag ($14). I really enjoyed the ratio of coffee-soaked cake to mascarpone. Just wish there was more to enjoy!

    Rigatoni
    Zara T.

    Great experience! We popped in on a stormy Friday night and sat at the bar. We ordered drinks and food from the bartender. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and seemed to enjoy his time working with his coworkers - they all seem to like each other! We ordered the rigatoni and cavatelli nero. Both were delicious and fully eaten. Since we were still hungry, we also split a Quattro Formaggi pizza. Very much enjoyed all our food - no crumbs! The bar was nice, and the rest of the restaurant was buzzing, nicely decorated and lively. They have a musicians play on Wednesdays I believe and a patio too for nice days. Parking lot for easy access right off of the main road. Happy with our experience and would pop in again.

    Excellent service, phenomenal food, and great ambiance. Everything on the menu sounded so amazing it was hard to decide what to get! Will definitely be back.

    Ravioli, Salsiccia Pizza, Proscuitto Pizza
    Hailey A.

    Delicious food! I have been once two years ago and thought about it ever since. Finally got to go back again this weekend - from the service, the cocktails, the environment - perfect Friday night spot for the girls, date night, nicer dinner, etc. can't recommend the food and cocktails enough.

    Burrata and prosciutto pizza
    Kathryn T.

    What a gem!! The service was the highlight of this place. The host and server both went out of their way to welcome us and make it an exceptional dining experience. As for the food, we split the burrata prosciutto and pistachio pizza and the Caesar salad. The salad was awesome - a very creative rendition of a Caesar salad, and it was a generous portion to split as a side to our entree. The pizza was also good, but I'd opt for a different flavor next time! It was a little wet with the type of toppings/cheese, and the prosciutto wasn't your typical dark prosciutto, but overall great flavor and the crust was awesome. The patio was also lovely! Would love to come again with a group to try a few of their appetizers and /or sit at their bar (which looked lovely). Would definitely recommend.

    Tiramisu
    Carlos G.

    The Jimmy had been on our list of places to check out for a while and I'm glad we finally went! We got the meatballs, mussels, and the cavatelli, all of which were good. The meatballs were tender, the mussels came with a grilled bread that went perfectly with the broth, and the cavatelli came with a good amount of blue crab, plus the sweet corn with the pasta was a nice combo. For dessert we got the tiramisu which was excellent. We will definitely be back!

    Fresh bread

    Restaurant is very pretty inside and the staff is friendly. The food was brought out right away nice and hot but we felt veryyy rushed by the waiter eager to turn the table as fast as possible. We just got an appetizer and was asked 3 times for our dinner order and half way through our entrees and asked about dessert and delivered the bill. Wasn't the best ambiance. The rigatoni was really good and the carbonara was good but not great. It didn't have a ton of flavor. It was quite pricey for the portions size and overall lack of ambience

    Carbonara

    We were able to get a Friday night reservation and it was great. The restaurant is so cute and the staff is very nice. The food came out quickly and was so good. I got the carbonara and it was very good.

    Avocado Tartine
    Maddie R.

    Three of us made reservations this morning for brunch and we loved the Jimmy! We sat inside and it was such a cute spot for a gals brunch because of the decor and lighting. Two of us ordered beverages, the brunch flight was displayed nicely and tasted delicious as well as the Santorini sangria. Although the beignets were tempting, we did not order any appetizers. Instead, we all ordered brunch entrees. I had the avocado tartine and the other two had the prosciutto panini. All were played so nicely and made with super fresh ingredients. We all loved our experience and look forward to trying out their dinner menu next time!

    Review for North Italia…read more has absolutely become one of my staples in Charlotte.** It's located in the heart of South End--a trendy, energetic neighborhood with beautiful outdoor dining--and one of the biggest perks here is easy parking, which, as any Charlotte diner knows, is always a win. Inside, the restaurant is gorgeous. Think large, comfortable booths, warm lighting, fresh flowers, and a lively but polished atmosphere. I always make a reservation through OpenTable--I'm too old to be waiting around to eat, and I might as well rack up some points and perks while I'm at it. One of the things I appreciate most about North Italia is their seasonal menu. It keeps the experience fresh and thoughtful, and you can tell the kitchen is paying attention to ingredients and timing. I usually start with a glass of wine-- a sparkling rosé or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc--something cold, clean, and refreshing. Bubbles are always a good option for me. They serve a delicious focaccia at the table, which I sometimes indulge in, but the dish that truly stands out--the one I still dream about--was a seasonal ravioli with butternut squash and crispy sage. It was beautifully balanced, comforting, and memorable in the best way. Other favorites: * The Caesar salad--perfectly dressed * The arancini and calamari--always solid starters * The pizzas, especially the cacio e pepe * And yes, the desserts are absolutely worth saving room for Brunch here is also a lovely experience. Sitting on the patio, eating alfresco on a sunny Sunday, reminds me so much of what I loved about California--being outdoors, enjoying great food, and taking your time. Thankfully, there's plenty of shade, so it's comfortable even on warm days. They do offer a happy hour. It's not the most extensive in town, but it's perfectly fine for drinks, a pizza, or a charcuterie board with friends after work. What keeps me coming back: * Consistently good service * Clean, beautiful space * Thoughtful seasonal dishes * Easy parking * Reliable quality Yes, it's a bit upscale--but it's approachable, welcoming, and dependable. And when a chef takes the time to create seasonal dishes that appeal to diners with curious palates, that deserves recognition. Bottom line: A polished, reliable favorite in South End that delivers great food, beautiful ambiance, and a consistently enjoyable dining experience.

No server ever greeted us or brought water to the table. We watched the tables around us get cleared and cleaned and the server pick up checks from two other departing parties. I'm patient (used to work in hospitality), but when they brought out a bowl of water for the dog with a couple that was seated after us that was too much!! You served the dog before us?!?!?

Eggplant and Chicken dishes are great, very nice wine selection at reasonable prices and good pours. There are other Charlotte restaurants that we used to frequent but stopped going because no matter how much you spent on the food, they cheated you on the wine pours.

The ratio of noodles to cheese and sauce didn't feel balanced, and felt more like lasagna soup, but overall, it was decent. I think I'd try something different next time. My husband had the mussels and said they were okay- basically mussels and tomato sauce. As for the ambiance, it's casual Italian dining experience, and includes a market at the front of the store for take home breads and pastas.

Starbucks comes to mind but only because the app makes buying Starbucks easier than making my own coffee. Since opening in uptown, Portifino has become one of those places. I hate to admit it, but there have been weeks where I have eaten at least one meal there every day. Sometimes twice.... Charlotte isn't known for its pizza. I moved here from up north 25 years ago and growing up I. The northeast sets the bar pretty high in terms of pizza. Portifino's is great. The sauce is sweet and portioned perfectly. The cheese is nice and salty, so you actually taste it. The toppings are flavorful, and again, well proportioned. My favorite is the Caprice which comes with tomato, fresh mozzarella, olive oil and fresh basil. It's amazing. The pasta dishes are excellent. I'd recommend the linguini with clam sauce and throw in some shrimp and broccoli for good measure. The Calzones are HUGE. I get mine with Mushroom, sausage, pepperoni and black olives. The But their subs are really what stands out. The chicken Philly has to be one of the best sandwiches in town. I could go on and on here because I've had almost everything on the menu here but no one has the time or attention spans for that. The service is excellent. It's a family run business and it FEELS like a family run business. They care about what they're doing. The person at the counter taking your order has a stake in your satisfaction. Don't get me wrong, we're not talking about Ritz Carlton Gold Standard. It's a pizza joint run by REAL people. But they're good people, and they actually care. That's better in so many ways. My best recommendation is to go get lunch with a friend, coworker, or even by yourself and sit in a booth by the window, watch the city do its thing and enjoy some real food made by real people. It's a great way to spend your 30 minute lunch.

While most of their locations seem to be more traditional sit down restaurants, the Uptown location is more catered to the fast paced lunch crowd.

They have traditional options like pepperoni and cheese, some crowd favorites like Buffalo chicken, and chicken bacon ranch, and even some square Sicilian slices including a vodka slice that I heard is quite good. While you order at the counter they will give you a number and bring your food to you. In addition to pizza they offer a variety of sandwiches and pastas. On my most recent visit I wanted to try their cheese steak, but I wasn't sure how large the sandwich would be so to be safe I order a slice of pizza as well. That was a mistake, the sandwich was quite large and came with chips, and their pizza slices are also quite large. It was good but I was stuffed afterwards so learn from me! I'm glad to have more options for pizza by the slice in Uptown, my one gripe is that the pizza is on the pricier side, $7.00 a slice. That's the Uptown surcharge for ya.
