Aria Tuscan Grill - Charlotte

Went here for the first time with friends. We were going to the Spectrum to see the Charlotte Horten's basketball game and this establishment was in walking distance. We were very impressed with the atmosphere. Our waiter was very helpful. I gave 1 less star because it took a long time before our entree arrived. Thankfully we had ordered appetizers. I was unable to eat all my food but the waiter put it in the fridge and I picked it up after the gave. One thing to remember they validate parking. Would definitely come back again when we're not in a hurry.

The service and food are fantastic! The atmosphere is very comfortable and chic without being stuffy. The food was superb. Great date night! My only complaint is the tables are very close to each other, just something to be aware of.

If quality of food and service are qualifiers for you, this one gets the green light. Loved the ambiance and friendly banter between staff that created a cozy environment for the consumption of a variety of great wines and grub. Thank you for hosting our friend?s large birthday party, it was an experience to be remembered.

Food was great! As an appetizer we got the special which was a flat bread with crab and it was AMAZING! I also had a Cesar salad which is the only thing I regret getting. For the main course I had the Seared Bronzino alla Plancha and my sister had the Braised Lamb Shank and both dishes were great (hers was a little better). Service was a tad slow but overall the experience was very nice!

My friend and I made a reservation for restaurant week. We were seated at the upper level and it was a bit noisy as there was a wedding going on right behind us w/ a live band. Our waiter was fun and attentive. The food was a 4/5 for us. I don?t remember the wine we got but it was AMAZING! Overall, I would come back and it?s well worth your funds. The only downside was the complementary valet parking. There was only one person working that evening and we waited 25-30 minutes for our car. I?m not sure if there was an event the night we went, but it was frustrating. See the tiktok I made on the evening @sydneyc23 :
