Risotto charlotte street

It promised to be a place that could keep the gloom at bay. Then again, even the greatest team can screw up.

Just ask the people who put together Turn off the Dark , the Spiderman musical. Norma is the kind of effortless crowd-pleaser that takes serious work. At the front is a raw bar, the ice stacked with smooth-shelled cherrystone clams and red prawns, curled up against each other.

There are booths upholstered in amber plush, and deco-style glass panels. The floor and walls are tiled in a Moorish pattern of interlocking points. All about is a downlit glow. It has a sense of intimacy, without requiring you to be so close to your neighbour you can detect their deodorant. The menu is built around snacks and small plates, with a handful of pastas and chunkier mains.

There is an essay to be written, a rather dull, earnest one, about the way classy metropolitan restaurants re-engineer the food of what might look like leftovers into desirable objects for urban taste-chasers. Arancini are just a way to stop you throwing out the uneaten risotto. The lesson is this: we should all cook more pasta than we need, so it too can be formed into such blissful discs and fried until crisp and golden. Enough parmesan is grated over the top to make them disappear from view.

Alongside is a pot of a warm parmesan and olive oil sauce. The whole dish is the domestic, made glamorous. We are are fans of the lemon penne chicken. They also offer family size dishes. We had friends in…. This is the best meal and service I have had here in Charlotte. The food was delicious try the snails! How had I never heard of this place? I went in for lunch today with a co-worker who had been there before honestly I was doubtful since it is….

Had a business meeting here, food was fantastic, had really good chicken parmesian and the wine was very good as well. Before my husband and I actually moved to Charlotte and were still looking around, one stop we had to make was a supermarket to determine whether…. I am now a huge fan!!! Finally a place that knows how to make a chicken Parm and other food just like NY. I will make this a staple restaurant for my family! Wonderful service and atmosphere. The food couldn't be better.

It is so clean and fresh…. Authentic Italian-Italian food only available in Italy, now available in Charlotte. Everything is home made I ordered the BLT i love it i will def. I went here on a whim and had a good time. The food was ok but the drinks were great. I would suggest it on a nice day for the patio. Miss that carb overload you can only get from a full plate of spaghetti bolognese? With a cooked breakfast each day and evening meals Monday - Friday, our included food is a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

How good would it be to arrive home from a hard slog at work and find a freshly made bed, with crisp new linen? That's the type of weekly service our guest's experience; not to mention the vacuum and wipe down of hard surfaces. You'll still need to attend to those work clothes, however, luckily you won't have to venture far due to our on-site laundry facility.

Our scale also allows us to be different. Unlike most other guest houses, you'll benefit from having dedicated on-site management, cooking and cleaning teams to cater to your needs. We look forward to having you join the family.
