Surprisingly this made my top 5 food experiences across 3 continents!😃 With a wife that taught French cooking for a decade and a son that is a high end chef i feel my standards are high. But first we need to address what to expect when you walk in because this is not a normal dinning experience and it caught me off guard. I can't speak about brunch but dinner is authentic European fare served in a crowded aged looking diner that you might find in a really small town in the boondocks of Georgia. 😆 A strange mash up for sure! The whole deal is run by just 2 people and you can't really fit more workers in that space. So be patient - at times it gets a bit hectic but the food comes out just as fast or faster than most places. There is just a 1 page paper menu that changes monthly. Once you get past this shock, it actually becomes a fun experience. But let's talk about the food - because it's really all about the food! They serve "small" Spanish influenced dishes meant to be shared all made in house to order. I was told small but everything we ordered had quite generous portions. That day dinner dishes ranged from $8-$30. We ordered 4 different ones to share and took home a good bit. Everything we tried was cooked to perfection and put to shame meals i have had in the nicest locations. When they get tired they start to turn away customers - we were the last ones they let in that night. So come early.

Gem of a spot! Everything we tried was delicious — Spanish tapas. Nice beer and wine menu (no liquor) and good variety on the plats.

Delicious food in a chill atmosphere — ordered the sangria, papas bravas, pan tomaquet, and gambas — each item was excellent.

What a fun and unexpected place! You would never know by looking at the outside that there is world class delicious food being served inside. This is a 2 person show and the service and food is amazing. They also have an impressive wine list for a small casual restaurant. What a hidden gem!

I selfishly don't want to review this place because I want it to stay our little secret. Quality Pie is the best restaurant in Charlottesville. So fresh, flavorful and good variety of dishes with a rotating seasonal menu. The duo who runs this place are also so kind and helpful. Don't even get me started on the bread... it is like a warm hug when you need it most. You can tell the chef truly loves what their doing because the care with each dish is unmatched. Don't sleep on this place. It's the best!

The food is fantastic and seasonal, the bar list well thought out and curated, portions are not skimp they will feed you like your at nonna house and she thinks your to skinny topped of with a wonderful laid back atmosphere and great out door seating. They only have one chef and one waitress for now so some times it may take a min so be mindful to think of what you need when she gets there, get your waters your self inside, order pitchers and bottles of what you want so they dont have to run back and forth more the food is well worth the wait and dont you dare be shitty to the staff dont be those people. Can not wait to go back and take my friends and family this will be a regular spot for sure.

Quality Pie is a must! Just the bread alone is worth a visit. Started brunch with a mimosa. My version of a mimosa is champagne with a splash of OJ. I’m the type that should make my own and enjoy at home. Don’t recommend the mimosa. Ordered the Tortilla Espanola which is basically a potato , egg, and onion pie. Next was the BLT served with potato salad and pickle. Best BLT I’ve ever had. Finished with a caprese salad. Fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. Absolutely delicious. Service: Ordered at the counter and sat at the long table in the middle. There is seating outside and at the bar area. Atmosphere: similar to an old diner.

Happened upon this little gem as we were searching for a place to grab a sandwich. I always like to try small out of the way places . This is truly a fantastic surprise! Outstanding service and a menu that leaves one dropping their jaw in awe of the variety. The gazpacho is extraordinary! Rich and flavorful with their own garden tomatoes, right outside the door! Yes a garden and compost right at hand. We shared a BLT on excellent Sourdough with those same homegrown tomatoes. A free slice of homegrown cantaloupe to finish. We can’t wait to come back. Worth the drive from Lexington!!

I love the idea - unpretentious, small staff, focus on the food and what's in season. This place sucked all of the charm out and emphasized the brusqueness. The menu items read well but were executed poorly and the service felt intentionally mean. Easily the worst value dining experience I have had in recent years.

The food and service are great. Not family friendly, tho. We accidentally left my 3-year olds travel potty there on a Tuesday. We called them daily and got no answer. (They have no regular hours). After making contact about our travel potty we were told they noticed it outside but, after arriving, apparently, someone had taken it. The host didn't apologize, just communicated her shock that someone would steal a potty. (Those travel potties cost more than their expensive, but delicious offerings.) Story short: We're never going back.
