Stopped while on business, restaurant right across the street from hotel. Probably one of the best Italian places I've been in years, definitely top 5 and I've been around awhile! Shout out to Megan, she goes above and beyond! This place is definitely worth checking into.

Via Roma was perfect for my hubby's birthday celebration. It was almost after 4 years that we visited this restaurant again and we loved it.Food was delicious. We ordered bruschetta for appetizer, kids portion of chicken Parmesan, penne with chicken and mixed seafood pasta. Everything came out perfectly. I got my Seafood pasta in garlic sauce, it was delicious and seafood was fresh and tender. I loved how calamari was in my pasta - not overly chewy at all. Chicken in both my husbands and kids meal was cooked perfectly and was flavorful. Our server was wonderful and surprised us with a cake to celebrate the birthday. Such a sweet gesture.

This place is great! It is a small restaurant, but for me that means it is more intimate. The service is always top notch and the people are friendly!The food, as at any Conte restaurant, is incredible! I went and got their gnocchi which was light and fluffy with a vodka sauce and TONS of fresh mozzerrella cheese. Their tiramisu is also probably the best in the city! You must try it. Parking can be a challenge, my recommendation is just to park in the parking deck and walk. It's about 5 minutes, but the parking deck is free too.

Stop here when I travel. Tonight's experience was less than status quo. I ordered take out - no utensils and asked for no bread - I got pieces where in the past - even when I said no bread - I got a fresh half loaf - I take to office - not tomorrow - trash. Finish off with higher price vs what was posted on line and changed the dish - zucchini vs spinach - big diff - need to update on line menu. Too many food options in Waverly for this.

The most tender steak I've had in awhile. Let me go back to the beginning. We had such a fantastic waitress (Amy). She was super helpful and attentive but not hovering. Support staff was great too. Our table got crumbed! You know the little crumb tool to clean up your mess. I hardly ever see that in Charlotte. What a very nice touch. Ok back to the food. Great pasta, great sauces, great veg, great apps, bread, desserts, and vino. Everything was great. What else is there to say? Atmosphere was dark but not too dark. Relaxing. The only negative thing I can say is that the tomatoes in the bruschetta should have been room temp not cold. I wonder if that is a safety rule. Anyway, we can't to go back!

Amazing service that's hard to come by in this area. The food was so flavorful! The Mare was full of delicious seafood. Our 13 year old said the meatballs were the best she's ever had. Lasagna, chicken Parmesan and the tagliatelle were all hits with the family. And I can't stop thinking about the tiramisu! I can't wait to go back (after we eat all the leftovers we brought home)!

Via Roma is not for me. It's not worth my money and time. I was excited to try the Mare; the presentation appeared well. But, alas, it was too salty, and the squid rings and shrimp were overcooked and tasted rubbery. My husband's pollo parmigiana was soggy, and the cheese was partially melted. The inside of the restaurant's acoustics is poor, making the sound of table conversations amplified and loud. As for service, it was lacking. It took over 10 min for someone to take our order, and as we ate, no one even came at all to check and refill our drinks. As I observed, the staff were focused and distracted by the larger parties. Overall, it was not a positive experience for me.

We decided to come here on a whim for an improptu date night and the food was good. They gave us bread and beans, but I wasn't a fan of the bread on its own. With the beans it was great, but without, the bread had no flavor. We started with caprese and it was really good. The mozzarella was so fresh however, it came with arugula instead of basil, which was good, but I prefer caprese with basil. My entree was gigli. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. The flavors went together but it lacked and little bit of... punch in the flavor department. Nonetheless, the portion of pasta to shrimp and vegetables was really good. I feel like a lot of times when you order a pasta dish it's like 90% pasta with only 10% of any of the extras, and this was not the case here.My hubby had pollo alla parmigiana with a side of pasta and it tasted amazing! If I came back here I'd probably switch my order to this because it was bursting with flavor. The first thing they asked us when we walked in was if we had a reservation, which, we didn't. We came early enough that there was space at the bar and the high tops that were near and that's where they directed us to. I was actually happy about that because this is a nice restaurant with table clothes and a fancy vibe, and we were not totally dressed for that. Either way, overall, dinner was good.

It seems the quality of food has changed. Has it? Is it management too? The sauce with tomatoes was fresh, which now seems to be canned and lacks the homemade taste it once did, and is quite salty. Of the dishes we get, which is 4-6 different ones, all of them seem to have changed. Dishes also lack consistency. For example, the apps are given in different amounts (one instead of the two we usually get and then back to two), the extra beans do not always come with the extra bread.
