   The service was great everything was quick except getting the bill (our server became the bartender) which took over 30 minutes. The food on the other hand was hit or miss. Appetizers Arancini - Good, not great Meatballs - Pass, weak flavor Caesar Salad - Pass, it is so odd and salty. Not like any Caesar I've ever had. Mains Papparadelle with Wild Mushrooms - Good/missing something. Plating it was a mess and vaguely looked like dog food. Lasagna - Good Pizza with Prosciutto and Hot Honey - Ok, not a strong flavor except the honey Dessert Fior di Latte Gelato - Pass, it was gritty. Definitely not the "flower of milk". There was some type of bitter caramel on it. Unpleasant to be honest. Espresso - Good See pictures for reference. The atmosphere was OK until a large group came in and it became very loud. Parking is a struggle. It is very limited.

   Our server was not very good. When we asked for a second bread basket she has saved. I’m not sure if we can get that for you. I’ll try. She also later brought the bread with no dipping oil vinegar and had to go back and get it. She did not fill our waters and was not very professional the food was OK. The dessert was a slither of a piece of cake and the salad was very small. Would not recommend going for a nice Italian dinner there’s so many other places in Charlotte.

   Great experience. We liked the ambiance of soft light and a warm feel to the restaurant. Dan did a good job serving us. The Bronzino was perfectly cooked. The chicken and spaghetti was given a two thumbs up by a 100% Italian who knows her pasta and sauce. The Tinezzi Corvine wine was palate pleasing and paired well with the food.

   We loved the experience of eating here from beginning to end. Valet service parked our car. We went on Thursday night and added on an half price bottle of very good wine which the server helped us select. We tried all 3 salads, different but all very good. Then we tried the chicken Parmesan, lamb with risotto, and brazino. Each dish was perfect. Atmosphere was quiet and pretty. We are all looking forward to returning.

   Giovanna was a great experience! It’s located in LoSo, in an upcoming area. We ate some delicious arancini, calamari, and creamy mushroom pappardelle. The calamari was lightly breaded and lightly fried - not greasy at all. The pasta was homemade and incredible. The service was outstanding as well! Highly recommend for a date night. After, we headed over to play mini bowling at Supper Club, which is located right next door. Will be back again soon!

    The service was excellent! Dan, our server, took great care of us. We started with the beet salad, which was delicious and thoughtfully split into two plates for us. The chicken Parmesan was fantastic, with a flavorful sauce that stood out. We were especially excited to see their halal options, and the lasagna was the star of the meal—it absolutely hit the spot. For dessert, we had the lemon almond cheesecake, which was creamy, light, and simply amazing. We’ll definitely be returning!
