She was amazing she handled us all with efficiency and grace!! I know we drove her crazy but she was amazing!!!! Thank you John’s place for a wonderful time and again kudos to Jeanette !!!“

“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?“

“The food, service and ambiance was excellent.“

“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.“

“My husband and I have been going to Marios/John’s place for over 30 years and have never had a bad meal. John has done an excellent job from his managers to wait staff and to the wonderful tasting food. I recently had a private party there and every person raved about the food and the hospitality of the restaurant. I cannot thank John enough for making everything perfect. You are definitely missing out if you don’t go there and have a wonderful dinner.“

“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!“

“Had the pleasure of dining at That's Amore for the first time today. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. 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!“

“I had this pizza years ago when I was in the shopping center in one day for lunch and I remember it being yummy finally had it again a couple weeks ago and it was even better than I remembered. start again tonight and it was just fantastic the sauce is delicious the pizza is cooked perfectly and the prices are reasonable.“

“Alfredo spinach pizza great BUT they still charge for chicken when I requested no chicken. So I had to pay more for the dead ingredient that makes it expensive being a vegetarian. Boo-hiss!! Excuse: "No option on computer to deduct chicken" Lame, lame, lame!!!“

“Family owned/run business. Go Jets/Knicks. You can order a pie or just get a slice. I wanted to try it out and got a cheese slice and it was so yummy. Pizza tasted good, had a nice bake, and was not floppy. I didn’t grab a pic because I ate it right away. My NY Knicks Hero was very good, never had vodka sauce before but it was perfect. My son got the Alfredo. Even though it was a bit of a drive I would definitely make the trip back to try more of the menu. Customer service is great, the establishment was clean. They have a patio. Very friendly.“

“Met a gf for lunch here, visiting family in town. And it was really great. I got a salad with grilled salmon. She got gluten free pasta. Both were delicious!! Service was great! Manager came by to check on us. It's an easy and light atmosphere. You don't have to get pizza. They have all kinds of stuff. Not a huge beer selection, but that's fine. They probably rotate their taps. Would absolutely recommend.“

“The Owner/Manager is a great guy. Nevermind the fact that the food has been consistently great for years. He is kind, and takes care of the customers like it really means something to him. Today I went in for a 12 inch sub roll to take home and bake. When I had my card out ready to pay, he kindly said no need, be safe, and we’ll see you next time. Those are the types of gestures that will keep one coming back for life and hard to find nowadays. Thank you TONYS!“

“Negroni to start, little gem Caesar salad, scallops with corn risotto, espresso martini to finish…..ALL perfect Including the service. I look forward to returning.Thank you for a wonderful dinner!“

“Librettos - Uber Eats

I needed food for this weekend.

Chicken francaise, stuffed mushrooms, soups: pasta fagiola and lentil with Italian sausage. Small Personal pizza with mushroom onion pepperoni.

Wow can I just say the soups are sooooo good!? But holy cow those fricking stuffed mushrooms?! Amazing!! It was my favorite hands-down. 

The chicken francaise chicken is wonderful, wish there was more sauce on the pasta. Only sorta negative comment.

I really enjoyed the pizza too, a great crust in my opinion and for my personal taste. Nothing was too salty or overwhelming. It was an excellent small personal pizza.

I enjoyed the soups so much, placed an order for my soul mom Olga but, driver canceled because it was a Mint Hill delivery lol! 😂

Doesn’t matter, cause I will go in person and deliver the order myself. I know she will absolutely love the soups and mushrooms!

If you haven’t tried them? I highly recommend!“

“It was super delicious! Mine was takeout order, so I was pretty happy with the quick service. I ordered it from lunch menu, the price is very good, especially the area. I have cashew nuts chicken and my favorite dish Beef Chow Fun, they serve freshness of the vegetable and balance of flavors. Highly recommended!!!“
