Wonderful old school Italian restaurant that was delightful for lunch. We were warmly greeted by everyone we came in contact with during our visit. Phillippe was outstanding, and provided top notch service to us. The penne alla vodka and lasagne were both delicious, and accompanied by fresh hot bread. We took dessert to go, and the tiramusu did not disappoint. All around great visit, and I would highly recommend if you're in the area.

An exceptional dining experience and easily among Charlotte’s best. The food was superb, and the service was impeccable. Lexie provided a level of service that truly set the experience apart. We look toward to dining here again.

Great restaurant from greeter at the door to quality of food, the staff, management is amazing very helpful. I have no complaints I love the food, and a secret ask about the Chef specials you’ll thank me later! It’s a great place to celebrate, or bring the family to enjoy great food, I enjoy the pricing is moderate and your food quality, portions supersede its cost, you will have leftovers! You will see why this restaurant has been open as long as it has, and will continue the culture here is great, I can’t say enough! But I will say Thank you 🙏 to the Management, wait staff, and cooks, also bus they all make you feel at home.

Not only the best Italian food we've had since moving to NC, but the best food in general. And outstanding service.

I visited Mama Ricotta’s and tried their pizza. It was definitely good—the crust was nicely baked, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. You can tell they care about quality, and the portion size was generous. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly, which made for a pleasant experience.
That said, I wasn’t completely blown away. The pizza was solid, but it didn’t quite stand out compared to some other spots I’ve tried. Still, it’s a great option if you’re in the area and looking for a reliable, tasty meal. I’d come back to try more of the menu!

I, literally, just now got home from picking up a lunch sized lasagna and disappointment would be an understatement!! This is my first time there and I'm a Johnny Brusco gal but I wanted to try somewhere else, besides OG. I guess taste is subjective because I went here based upon the few reviews I saw.
The lasagna is dry, including the meat that is more paste like and, to be honest, reminds me of mushed canned sausage. It's VERY salty, including the meat sauce, that I can't tell what the flavor is as the salt overwhelms it. At least it reminded me to take my Olmesartan BP pill. Suffice to say, first and last time!!!

Honestly? I’ve been here before and I did not remember it, so, I thought it had to have been not interesting or bad. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. Which is sort of a no brainer with an Italian restaurant. The sauce, or lack there of sauce is brown and weird looking. Honestly would never go back and it’s very expensive.
Chicken parmesan was fantastic! Cold beer on draft!

This place was beyond impressive. Every single thing that was placed in front of us was amazing. Ryan walked us through the entire process and provided incredible service & hospitality. Chicken à la vodka was FIRE. Chicken parm was huge and perfectly prepared.

We really wanted to enjoy this place but the service was just okay. Our waiter was friendly and attentive to us but when he took our leftover meatballs to “box up” and we never got it with our leftovers to take home, nor did we get any more bread when he said he was going to bring some fresh ones out and instead, took our dishes along with the olive oil dip. Our food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice, but overall, we were disappointed in the service. We came right before the dinner rush so we thought it would be slower.
