18 Best Restaurants in Charlotte, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Charlotte changes, and Stagioni sits back and watches. It’s been around for over a decade, but the striking Italian villa where it lies has been there for 100 years. While chef Bruce Moffett and his restaurants like Good Food on Montford and Barrington’s have been steady classics in the city, Stagioni has a distinct charm. Patrons are greeted with cherubs, bookshelves, a spectacle of an open kitchen, and deep red hues under dim lights upon their entry. Negronis abound. Grilled romaine with crispy oysters show off. Butternut squash and braised rib ravioli alleviate tension. An Italian by-the-glass list works its magic." - Kayleigh Ruller
