12 Spots for an Exciting Lunch Break in Charlotte

"Frank Scibelli knows what customers want, and he’s proven it with restaurants all over Charlotte, from barbecue to tacos. His newest, in SouthPark, is as comforting as his original Mama Ricotta’s, with the addition of housemade pastas and a mozzarella bar. Nice touches for lunch: Diners can get small or large orders of pasta. Or skip the carbs and go with salads, including a warm, fluffy version of quinoa salad as a side." - Katie Toussaint, Kathleen Purvis
