The team was incredibly kind and even sent us home with a pizza, which was absolutely amazing. We can definitely see why this place has such a great reputation. We'll be back, this time as customers!“

“One of our favorite places. The food is straight out of Italy. We look forward to date nights here and the decor is also beautiful. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious, authentic Italian cuisine.
We had the stuffed mushrooms to start for the table, 2 orders and they evaporated. They were so good.
We had a party of 6 and we all finished our food and the portions are large y'all. It was so delicious.
I'm used to restaurants cutting corners in obvious ways, like using frozen veggies for example. Not here. I had broccoli in my dish and it was fresh, sounds small but it's a detail to be appreciated!
The service was fantastic, jovial, friendly and attentive. Shout out to the entire staff.
I would definitely come back! The place was bustling on a Saturday evening, even at 6 pm so I would recommend making a reservation for the weekends. Easy parking.
Support a small family run business, the food experience was amazing. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a bite.
Oh! Don't forget the dessert! You're welcome.“

“The food, service and ambiance was excellent.“

“We arrived near closing but the waitstaff didn’t seem to mind. Excellent service, food and cocktails! Highly recommend for a romantic dinner for two!❤️“

“A mystery. Outstanding ambiance, looks and feels like nice casual cafes we ate at in Milan and Tuscany. Once inside can't believe it's in an outdoor mall in NC. Friendly service. Chicken marsala with mushrooms as good as it gets. Hearts of palm salad not on many menus but was delightful. The customers seemed to be enjoying a relaxed, quality dining experience without the pretense of a fancy place or buzz of a large busy place. The mystery-why was it only half full on a Friday night?“

“Buona Vita Restaurant and Bar is incredible! They are friendly and professional and their food is delicious! They have such a fun atmosphere and delicious drinks! A place wonderful for both parents and kids. My boys LOVE their pizza! Definitely recommend 1010!“

“Great food, great service, but if you’re a larger party and are seated in the enclosed patio area, take heed that it will be extremely uncomfortable with the summer heat. They only have a couple of small portable fans that are absolutely inadequate for the total space, and the ceiling fans (supposedly set to the incorrect direction) didn’t help much. Even the dining room wasn’t much better. I know it’s been hot, but if the customer is uncomfortable I can only imagine the staff.“

“I love the food here! Best Italian Food in York County! Music Bingo on Wednesday nights is awesome!!!“

“amazing food, cooked to order, quickly with great service!!“

“We went to North Italia at lunch time. The restaurant was not busy but our server did not do his job very well. We ordered appetizers which did not arrive until we asked why they hadn't arrived. And then they arrived at the same time as the entree. We had to repeatedly ask for water glasses to be refilled and the wine that was ordered never arrived until we asked for it a second time. The food was amazing. We spoke to a manager who was rightly concerned and promised that retraining would happen. We like to help a place to grow and be better so we tried to be constructive with our comments. It was still a nice lunch but could have been so much better with proper service.“

“Hey Amber & Andrew, just a guess, but were the two of you together at Aria and waited on by Jennifer? Seems like it! I have never had a bad experience at Aria. I went this past Saturday for The Queens Feast and once again I was not disappointed with service or the food. Did you talk to a manager while you were there about your issues? It takes a lot of humanity and courage to address issues in person & in real time. When you do, often a resolution can be found. Try it out the next time your disappointed. I understand reviewing a place for poor service, food, etc., but attacking a person by name is low class. Btw, who uses begrudgingly to write a review? Nice word but, seriously?“

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant, and I especially want to recognize the excellent service from managers Camilo and Jon.
A few weeks ago, I was dining with my party, and unfortunately, we were seated near an air vent that was blowing extremely cold air. Camilo and Jon immediately noticed that we were uncomfortable and came over to make sure we were okay. They were attentive, courteous, and genuinely concerned about making our experience better.
Camilo even offered me some warm soup and had the air adjusted to help provide some relief. That level of personal attention and care really stood out to me. It showed that the management team wasn't simply focused on getting through the day—they truly cared about their guests' comfort and experience.
Because of how Camilo and Jon handled the situation, I would absolutely return. What could have been an uncomfortable experience was turned into a positive one because of their quick response and great customer service.
Thank you, Camilo and Jon, for taking care of your guests and representing the restaurant so well. Great service like that makes a difference, and I look forward to coming back!“

“The BEST pizza in Charlotte! Perfect balance of crust, cheese, sauce, and oh that flavour. Diavola is our favourite along with Italian chopped salad! I told my husband the only pizza I’ll ever eat is Inizio or Italy:) we ❤ Inizio!“

“My husband and I attended a cooking class at Desarno’s tonight and had a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was welcoming, and Kit & Karen are both knowledgeable and engaging. We made delicious, authentic Italian dishes using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Guido Lombardi, owner of Impero Wine Distributors, was also present, suggesting and sharing wines that perfectly complemented the dishes we prepared. It added a wonderful touch to the evening. The market itself has an amazing selection of take and bake options, perfect for a gourmet meal at home. Whether you're looking to improve your cooking skills or just enjoy a fun evening, I highly recommend their classes. We’ll definitely be returning for more!“

“amazing food, cooked to order, quickly with great service!!“

“This is a hidden gem! It’s our new favorite place. The food and service were excellent!“

“I recently visited Mario’s Pizza, and I was impressed! The atmosphere was inviting and the restaurant was very clean. The staff provided excellent service (Alyssa) making sure our meal was enjoyable from start to finish.

The food was delicious. We tried a veggie pizza topped with a generous amount of fresh vegetables, including olives, green peppers, and red onions. The crust was crisp, and the flavors were well balanced. We also ordered a tortellini dish with broccoli, which was tasty as well as a classic ziti with marinara sauce that was rich and comforting.

Parking was easy to find, and overall, the experience was fantastic. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving quality pizza and Italian dishes!“

Easy street parking or parking behind the restaurant with a ramp for easy access within a few steps. Delicious!!! The owners really care if you enjoy your meal!“

“First time getting to fine here as we live in SC but I have followed your restaurant on Instagram for a few years. It was so good and a lot of food at a great price! Very fresh veggies in my buttery noodles which I thought the taste was incredibly good 👍🏼 👍🏼“

We were celebrating my sister's birthday and the chef brought out a number of appetizers; ,bruschetta. cold antipasto, rice balls, etc.. and everything was absolutely delicious. Our main courses were equally delicious. If you haven't tried That's Amore then please do. You will love their authentic and fresh italian food!“
