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 !!!“

“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.“

“Great Food, Fair prices and good customer service“

“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?“

“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.“

“Ordered various dishes and have never been disappointed“

“I just happened on this place a couple of weeks ago. It's my new favorite restaurant! True authentic Italian food❤️ I've been looking for this place! I will be a regular😁“

“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!“

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

“The closest to authentic neopolitan pizza your gonna get in south charlotte. Friendly and efficient staff is always a plus. We always enjoy a Margherita with sausage and occasionally try the seasonal specilas. Fresh garlic and other condiments are available to enhance the included side of marinara. Pizza could go lighter on the salt would be my only input. Arugula salad and homemade dressing is awesome. Gelato is not overly sweet and had great texture, wish they brought vanilla back. Look out for the daily specials on beer, wine, or Gelato during the week.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“This was me and my husband's first time from Marshville today and the food was EXCELLENT, he posted a Pic of my meatball sub 😅 and it was only half left, superb 👌 huge and SO authentic OMG I added grilled peppers and onions and so divine I'll never compare it to anywhere else filled with so much meat and he could only eat half of his stramboli 😅, the 45 min drive will be worth it i wanna take the kids and try pizza next yassss plz!!!!“

“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.“

“Best part of this place is the staff. Very friendly, ask to make sure the order is right, and are hard workers. The menu has plenty of options with great appetizers with some of the best mozzarella sticks I have ever had. The the potion sizes make it so that you are getting the best value for your dollar. Just a really good place to get a meal.“

“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!“

“I just had the Meat Balls for the first time.. They were amazing. I also got a favorite that I get every time I go the Diavola Pizza and it was cooked great.“

“The Red Bowl in Indian Land has a nice atmosphere and is great place to have a drink, share appetizers and enjoy a delicious meal.

Parking: Friendly and efficient service.

Kid-friendliness: My children enjoy dining here.“
