"Stumbled upon this place for dinner a few nights, and was blown away. The quality of the food was incredible and our server was able to make really great recommendations. The restaurant itself is comfortable and intimate- it doesn 't feel stuffy even though the food is extremely fresh and well-prepared which is the ideal. The decor is contemporary but not overly design, which all adds to the comfort and keeps the focus on quality. Upon our server 's suggest we tried the Eggplant Parmigiana, the texture was crispy on the outside with melt in your mouth eggplant on the inside. We also tried the Emilia pizza on a whim after our server mentioned the freshness in the 'white ' pizzas and were really pleasantly surprised by how well the flavors blend together. My only suggestion would be to bump up the chili flakes- the heat is great when you catch a bite with it, but the chili flakes were mostly in the very center of the pizza. We also tried the affogato, an item we order whenever it 's available, and the espresso was rich and full-bodied, and the gelato was perfectly creamy. It was all very affordable considering how high quality all of the ingredients were. It 's obvious that every detail is considered and the overall experience was wonderful. One of the few places in Charlotte that exceeded expectations."
