    This place was really good! The food was amazing. We had the short rib and the chicken parmesan. So good. We did have a bag experience with the person who brought out our food but the waitress expressed her apologies several times which we appreciated.

    After hearing all the hype, our party was overall disappointed. Our server did not engage with us in any way other than to take our orders or and never even welcomed us to the restaurant. Service was agonizingly slow. We had to flag down a random employee to get water refills. Or server never asked us if we wanted refills from the bar (and our initial bar drinks took forever to arrive, coming after our appetizers). I looked around and saw other servers engaging with their tables. Our calamari appetizer was rubbery (although others at my table like the beef carpaccio). I agree with other reviews that my pasta was overcooked and mushy and the Bolognese lacked any flavor. I had what is supposed to be their signature dish, but I left it half-finished. No complimentary bread service seems like a miss for an Italian restaurant. Also, no offer of parmesan cheese for our entrees (again, we had to flag down a random server). Little Mama's and Mama Ricotta's are infinitely better choices for Italian food in Charlotte.

    It was a good experience, but they were out of their signature dish, and the service was slow. We received one of our appetizers when the main course arrived.
