Stagioni - Four Seasons of Food

We went for a special occasion and they had a signed birthday card ready for us, which was very sweet. We got the grilled romaine salad with the calamari, which was delicious! The focaccia bread was so good. I got the rigatoni and I wish I could’ve eaten the whole thing but I was full. My husband got a cheese pizza and he loved it. We were very pleased with the service the atmosphere and the food.

Had been hearing Stagioni has the best Italian food in town. I had always thought it was Mama Ricotta’s or Little Mama’s, so I wanted to try this place. Before I get started, funny story when I got there. The front door is a heavy, hardwood door. There were two adorable little girls standing at the door trying to get it open, but it was too heavy for them, so I pulled it open. They dashed inside without looking back squealing “Mommy mommy mommy!” I looked at the hostess and told her, “I have no idea whose kids those are.” She literally laughed out loud and thanked me for the best laugh she’d had all day. That said, I gotta say, Stagioni wins the ambiance category. Dark with a cozy feel without feeling cramped, and not so dark you can’t read the menu. As usual, I sat at the bar. Sergio provided great service and was friendly and helpful. Bar is small with a small draft selection, but I found a lager I liked. I got the meatball appetizer and the Rigatoni entree. The meatballs and sauce were fantastic, moist, with tremendous flavor. Only gripe is they were on the small side. The rigatoni with braised short rib and fennel sausage was phenomenal. The quality of the food was top notch, and the taste was fantastic. Again, my only gripe was the serving size. When I placed my order I was worried I had gotten too much. The quantity was actually just right, but for $75 with 2 beers and tip, I expected a little more food. Other than the price, everything was excellent. Not sure if it’s the best Italian in town, but it’s definitely near the top. I’ll definitely be back to try their pizza. Highly recommend the food, but surprisingly pricey for the portion size. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had the pleasure of visiting Stagioni for our anniversary this year. The service was amazing, very personable, and the food was delicious. I don't think I've ever had pasta as good. The drinks were phenomenal as well. All around 10/10 meal I can't wait to come back when we are in town.

Dined here for a birthday dinner recently. I was expecting my food to be a lot better than it was based off of the reviews. I ordered the arugula tortellini for my main course. The portion was so tiny. I have posted the picture for you to see. The table loved the mussels so much they said they would come back here just for the mussels. The desserts were also really good. Loved everything besides my tortellini was too small and the flavor of it was just ok.

This restaurant transports you to a quint local spot in Italy. The vibe and the delicious food is absolutely amazing! We celebrated my birthday there and they gave me a card and ice cream! Wonderful service, food, and atmosphere all around!

We had the pleasure of being served by CJ, and he absolutely elevated our dining experience. From the moment we were seated, CJ was attentive without being overbearing, professional while still making us feel at ease, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He made thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be spot-on, and his timing was flawless, our glasses never went empty, and our courses flowed smoothly. What stood out the most was CJ’s genuine warmth and positive energy. He clearly takes pride in his work, and it shows in the way he interacts with guests. Small details like checking back just at the right moment, remembering our preferences, and making sure everyone at the table felt taken care of, made the meal truly special.

We’ve tried this same style of pizza in Italy, but this one was even better—perfectly cooked, delicious, and with no flop! The peach cobbler was outstanding, easily the best we’ve ever had. A definite 10/10!

The appetizers were wonderful but the entrees needed some work. It’s a new menu for fall so they might be ironing out the kinks. The focaccia loaf is amazing and probably the best bread service in the city. The grilled Romain is very good with the calamari on it but I would not have known it was grilled if I had not been told. The meatballs were delicious as was the greens salad with pancetta. The best entree of the night was their duck and sweet potato pasta dish. It was loaded with crispy bits of duck that paired well with the sweet golden raisins. The problem was my entree, the pappardelle with short rib and cabbage and mustard seeds. It was so bland I had to ask for some cheese to go on top. It doesn’t come with any sort of sauce what. so. ever. It’s simply oily noodles with short ribs and cabbage. I didn’t even see any mustard seeds. Yet, it’s priced as the most expensive pasta dish on the menu. It was just begging for some sort of sauce to bring it together. I NEVER send anything back but I probably should have made an exception to the rule because from what I tased from the other dishes at the table mine was by far the worst. Dessert was incredible with the zeppoli. That will probably be a go to whenever we go back. So pillowy and not too sweet. Cocktails were okay overall. The espresso martini was very good but the apprentice tasted like a whiskey sour at a dive bar. I do HIGHLY recommend going next door to their affiliated cocktail bar for an after dinner drink.

Portions are on the small size, but worked for us in not leaving too stuffed or with leftovers. It also allowed us to enjoy our meal and the flavors! The atmosphere here is cozy and relaxing. The Italian style villa where this is located adds to the experience. We had a reservation so had an easy check in and our table was ready. Our waiter was attentive with checking in but not over bearing at all - great!! The steak was a 8 oz filet and was cooked to perfection. The meat almost melted in the mouth. The seasoning wasn't too heavy and the plate veggie + dip/sauce were nice complementary flavors. Truffle pasta was good. Not too overpowering in terms of flavoring. The ricotta blueberry lemon cake was good. We had never tried this type of dessert before. It wasn't our favorite choice but again, never had ricotta cake before and ate it all! The stand out here is the hospitality. We mentioned we were celebrating a birthday and they had a hand signed card on the table from the staff. At the end, our waiter dropped off a small gelato/ice cream scoop on a plate with a candle and happy birthday message. Those personal touches from Stagioni make this a perfect spot for a celebration. Kudos to the team!

Stagioni has definitely secured its spot as one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte! The restaurant itself was super intimate and cozy, and the service was great. The food was also all amazing! The appetizer portions are definitely smaller, but the meatballs and bruschetta were both delicious (especially the bruschetta). I had the mortadella pizza and it was so good! And plenty to take home. Taglioni was also a table favorite. Highly recommend!

Dined here for a birthday dinner recently. I was expecting my food to be a lot better than it was based off of the reviews. I ordered the arugula tortellini for my main course.

A friend recommended this place and sure glad we went! Cozy restaurant that can be a bit difficult to find off the main road. It was very busy on a Monday evening and our server Caitlin was so amazing from beginning to end. Lots of fun cocktails but stuck with their sparkling wine and was impressed that their prosecco on tap was good too. As tempting as the pastas were, including the special of the day, carbonara, we all ordered a pizza. A big fan of mortadella, and had to order it as it also had fresh burrata and hot honey! Our pizzas came out quickly and whole, with shears to cut it up into slices. We all thoroughly enjoyed our pizzas, toppings, chewy but fluffy dough, and filling! Would definitely come back in the future and highly recommend.

Favorite Italian spot in Charlotte. Perfect date night or hang by the bar and enjoy one of many delicious Italian wines or beers. Pizza and pasta perfection. Highly recommend the mortadella pizza and Malfadina pasta with braised short rib. Cavatelli if you don't eat meat. Cheers!

Went here for Valentine's day and had a great time. They gave my boyfriend and I a cute card celebrating our anniversary and the waiter was so nice. Not only that, they decorated the entire restaurant for Valentine's day, which added to the experience. I ordered the chicken and a side of mushrooms. The chicken was okay, but the sauce and sides leveled it up to make it an enjoyable meal. The side of mushrooms was also very savory, which I loved. I ordered 2 glasses of wine and they were well priced. I definitely want to highlight the dessert. We ordered the zeppoles and they were AMAZING. Seriously, my boyfriend and I talk about them weeks later. Very fresh and came out super hot. Highlight of the meal haha!

Friday night dinner with friends. Our server was great - she came to check in frequently and helped switch out the empty plates when needed to (we were party of 8 at a 6-people table). Octopus (appetizer) tasted good. Pizza was great; the mozzarella one was pretty impressive and the crust was thin & crispy. Zeppoli was a must try; freshly fried and soft inside, it was sweet but perfectly balanced out by the temperature & texture. To improve... 1) oysters and mussels (appetizers) were not very fresh and the mussels were not cleaned thoroughly (we found a bit sand and sourness). 2) the reservation was a bit annoying... I had to call for party more than 6, and there was never a real person to answer the call so I had to leave voice message. We ended up updating the reservation by text communication. The I had to reply text to confirm the reservation twice - the day prior as well as on the day. Finally there was another reminder text "You're due at Stagioni in 30 minutes." Don't feel good about all those "reminders", especially there was credit card on file and a $25pp cancellation fee anyway.

I came here with my best friend for a beautiful dinner. Although it ended with a rainy night on the patio, we had a fabulous time. Stagioni is top-notch. The service from the front to the back is excellent. Everyone was kind and attentive. They are committed to quality, and it shows. We started with their charcuterie and cocktails. I can't remember their names, but one was peach with bourbon, and the other was rum with passionfruit. Both came with the cutest accompaniments. My favorite was the mini rubber duckie. The charcuterie was delicious, with an ample portion with some unique choices. It was a solid dish. We went on to the PEI mussels. They were served in a more decadent sauce than what mussels are traditionally served with, but trust me, it works. The mussels were cooked perfectly and served with beautiful, thick, toasted, crusty slices of bread to sop up all that rich sauce. Up next...the entrees... We had the sausage and pepperoni pizza, which the waiter assured us was an elevated take on a classic. He was spot on. The house-made sausage made all the difference to this Neopolitan style pie. We then transitioned to the malfadina pasta, which was divine and unique. The short rib, corn and tomatoes proved true the old culinary adage, "If it grows together, it goes together". The short rib was cooked perfectly and paired with the tomato and corn; it made for a surprisingly light dish. We had the zeppole for dessert because who can resist anything that says "pillows of heaven" in the description? They were indeed pillows of heaven and the perfect end to our meal. They were so good in fact that they brought on the torrential downpour. Our server kindly transitioned us inside, where we finished our meal. It was a fantastic experience, and I rose to the top of my best in Charlotte pile. I can't wait to return.

LOVE Stagioni. Authentic italian food. Open kitchen concept and lots of options to choose from. I love that the portions are a perfect amount and not too much pasta. Oysters were to die for and our waiter was super nice. We even ended the night with shots and desert. Dark and romantic ambience.

We went for our anniversary recently and immensely enjoyed ourselves! We made reservations ahead of time and appreciated the sweet gesture of having a little note for us to celebrate our anniversary. I ordered their seasonal pumpkin cocktail which was excellent and my husband ordered a beer. We started with the focaccia and I loved the slight saltiness from the sea salt flakes on top. We ordered the broccolini to share and the truffle cream sauce on it was incredible. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli with short rib and I liked that the short rib was a hunk on top. My husband got the rigatoni and ate the whole thing. We finished with the salted caramel tart with came with like a savory biscotti. The server was excellent and not intrusive and there are quite a few more things on the menu we want to return and try.

This has to be my favorite spot to eat in Charlotte! The wait was a bit long but was worth it since the food was incredible! Our favorite was the meatball appetizers and the filet mignon along with the burrata pizza!! There is indoor and outdoor seating so we chose to be seated outdoors which provided a very intimate setting - overall 10/10!!

We went on a Friday night, had a reservation, but half the tables were empty. We started with the octopus appetizer. The pieces were pretty small, bout as big around as my little finger and they were definitely over cooked. The white bean puree that came with it simply doesn't work. It ha no taste. For the main course I had the pepperoni and sausage pizza which was really good. My wife had the Malfadina (short rib) and its as vey bland and way overpriced @ $34. The whole meal came to $82 without the tip. Charlotte has a lot of restaurants where $80~100 is much better spent.

I would never dine here. I spoke to someone on the phone to make a reservation and they were booked, which is fine, but the woman on the phone was rude, hung up and did not care that was I wanted to try this restaurant being out of town. If you want business, be kind, even to people calling.

My husband and I went here for dinner Saturday night and enjoyed ourselves. The Zeppoli dessert and the lovely couple next to us was really the star of the show. First up, ambiance-- it was very dark. So the mood was set with candles on the table and dramatic lighting on the walls in red sconces. The Zeppoli was SO light and DElicious. It's served with caramel. I only remembered to take a picture after we had eaten most of it! 6 come on the plate and trust me you will want them ALL! I felt the charred octopus which we got for our appetizer was salty, but my husband enjoyed it. My meal I felt was average at best-- nothing particularly wonderful-- I ordered the duck confit gnocchi, and my husband had the ravioli which he said he enjoyed. He also ordered several drinks, a dessert drink as well as a featured drink-- of which he said were tasty. I had a mocktail and it was extremely sour. I was given the choice of ginger and citrus or fruity and sweet-- I chose the ginger one because I love ginger but this drink was all lime with what might have been ginger but tasted more like sparkling water. Once again, to be fair, I am pregnant so maybe I'm more critical than I would normally be-- but I wouldn't come back before the baby is born, to see if my opinion/tastebuds change to be more favorable. It was a nice time overall, and we enjoyed each others company which is what matters most.

10/10 We had a wonderful experience one of our new favorite special occasion spot! Particularly love their seasonal desserts - they are insane!

If I could do a 4.5, I would! Really wonderful experience here and our server was a hoot! The environment was lovely and intimate - one thing to keep in mind, it is quite dark inside the dining room with low lighting. Loved how it opened up into the kitchen so we could watch them cooking. We tried SO much and all really quite delish. Focaccia mini loaf is a MUST Grilled romaine was done very nicely and the calamari on top was a real treat Ricotta trio - yum Meatballs - really great complement to the other apps We got two pizzas and would highly recommend both of them (and likely all of their pizzas!) - pepperoni & sausage and the mortadella were incredible Two pastas - truffle tagliatelle and the rigatoni. This is where the 4.5 came in as the portion size was extremely small and didn't pack quite the flavor I was expecting. Drinks - loved the prickle me fancy and the Blanche Negroni Dessert - Omg. The flourless chocolate cake and the zeppolis were INSANE!!! Parking - tiny parking lot out front that fills up quickly but if you are passing Stagioni's on Providence on the right, take your immediate next right onto a street that will take you to addition parking on the right that has tons of spaces for both this restaurant and Rurus.

Amazing experience! I have some dietary restrictions and our waiter made sure I found a meal that fit within those restrictions but also had an amazing experience. 10/10, we will be back!

We have been so lucky since we got to Charlotte. Such great food. Stagioni was romantic and delicious. The mini focaccia is not mini at all! We used it to sop up the amazing broth that came with the beautiful mussels. A very nice local greens salad rounded out our first course wonderfully. Our second course of the tartufi pizza with an egg on top and the angel hair pasta made us both so happy. I forgot how much I love a simple pasta with top notch ingredients. I won't forget again! And the zeppoli! Six clouds of sweet powdered loveliness. Seriously one of the best meals I've had in a while!

Overall great visit! Our server was attentive and friendly. The food tasted wonderful. The only issue was the scallops were prepared incorrectly. For some reason they were only cooked on one side. They were presented with the cooked side up so initially couldn't tell they weren't cooked on both sides. They seemed cooked throughout but the texture was a bit off due to only having a pan sear on one side. We didn't send back as the flavor and overall it was a great dish but I was perplexed why the scallops were only cooked on one side. Other than that everything was fantastic and we will visit again and recommend!

Good food and great service! They make you order all your food at the beginning and they course it out for you. We shared the salad (really good), the pepperoni and sausage pizza (good), and the scallops with crab cakes entree (good). I wish we had tried a pasta dish as well for the full experience. The restaurant is dark so makes for a nice date place. There's a small parking area in front of the restaurant and a larger parking area behind the restaurant (by RuRu).

Stagioni is one the best Itanlian restaurant in Charlotte in my opinion. This restaurant truly offers quite a culinarian experience. The menu offers a few delicious options, including pasta dishes, pizza, desserts and cocktails. My wife ordered the potato ravioli, malfadina, a mocktail, the Prickle My Fancy (sweet and spicy cocktail), the grilled limoncello pound cake and the strawberry panna cotta. Everything, I mean, EVERYTHING was delicious. The service was excellent and the ambiance was great. It was a bit dark for my taste but not bad at all. Parking is free in an independent parking lot, which is shared with another restaurant. It's a small parking lot, so plan ahead. Also, I recommend getting reservations ahead of time. Tip: If you sit in the pizza bar, I guarantee you will be entertained as you will see the entire action in the kitchen. Overall, 100% recommended.

I really enjoyed this place!! We had a drink by the little wine bar in the corner, as our reservation wasn't quite ready when we arrived. Food changes with the seasons, which is an interesting concept and really showcases the kitchen staff. Everything we ordered was DELICIOUS! Our waiter was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. It's a cute little spot, with some high tops in the front and regular tables in the back. The wine bar is open seating, though small. This is a great date spot or maybe a place to take your parents! I wouldn't take a big group here as the space is better for intimate occasions. Since the menu changes often, I recommend being flexible and open to trying new dishes, rather than finding a favorite dish and sticking with it. You will not regret!!

Food never disappoints and the atmosphere is amazing as well Last time there was were 4 of us. All ordered different meals and appetizers. Ignoring COVID we all tasted each others food and everything I mean everything was wonderful!!!

Good service, dark/quiet vibe. Food was good for the price. The mushrooms were really good, maybe the vest item despite only being a side. Mussels came with a tasty, more unique sauce. It was a thicker marinara type of sauce, really good with bread. The shrimp was a bit overcooked, but not by a lot. You get about 6 for the added $12 price. The pasta was cooked perfectly, I just personally would get something more saucy (or cheesy) next time. This was a solid choice if you like standard pasta.

The service was excellent and so was the food. Loved the ambiance. I look forward to return visits.

Celebrated my birthday here with family and had a great time! My birthday fell on a Monday this year and my mom INSISTED on taking me out to dinner the day of, so reservations were made a while in advance. We also LOVE doing an early dinner (especially on a work night) so we took the earliest available reservation at 5pm (right when they open). We arrived a little early and sat outside for a little bit, which is totally understandable for the staff arriving and getting the dinning room ready for the night. Luckily the menu posted outside gave us extra time to think about our courses and what we would like to have. Right at 5pm the door opened and the hostess ushered us inside to seat us at a nice table in the corner with a great view of both the dining room and the open concept kitchen. Our server greeted us warmly and started us off with some cocktails. The drinks were great and fun. I started with the Alternative (Bourbon, Muddled Orange, Cointreau, Carpano Antica, and Aromatic Bitters). Food-wise we ordered the Mini Focaccia Loaf (only available dining in) and a Tartufi Pizza (parmesan, mozzarella, fontina, mushrooms, carmelized onions, arugula, porcini puree, and truffle oil) as an app. I think we ordered everything altogether and then the server coursed it out for us. The whole meal progressed very organically and the food was (IMO) perfect. We all picked 3 Primi dishes: Truffle Tagliatelle, Rigatoni, and the Seared Potato Gnocchi. And all shared a bite from each. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. The food was all so good, we were stuffed, but since it was my birthday, we did share gelato for dessert, which was amazing. I'm not sure how we managed to finish the dessert, but my mom did have some pizza slices and her gnocchi left to take home and enjoy later. Overall, we had a really great experience here for my birthday. By the time we were finished, it was probably getting to the peak dinner rush and the entire restaurant was packed. It was nice to see that on a Monday evening. I will apologize ahead of time, since my normal food pictures suffered from the dim lighting, but it made for good atmosphere.... and yes, use your cell phone flashlight to look at the menu! Or - just arrive super early like we did and have the menu memorized outside ; )

Great meal here! We sat at the "pizza bar" right in front of the oven. Our daughter loved it, and kept us entertained. Service was amazing and everyone was so friendly. We had the seafood pasta (absolutely amazing!), the octopus app, roast oysters, and meatballs. Our daughter had a plain cheese pizza which she loved, and we even ate a couple slices. Could've used a tiny bit of seasoning IMO, but was still tasty. The crust was perfect. Everything was cooked perfect and nothing was even mediocre. We could've eaten 2 dozen of the oysters! A little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Had the best Boulevardier cocktail!

The wood fired pizza is the best. Sitting outside reminds you of being Italy. Good variety of cocktails and wine.

Loved the pizza! We came on a Fri night and the weather was nice enough to sit outside on the patio (no wait to get seated). Parking was a little challenging, but we found a spot behind the restaurant. While the beer menu wasn't extensive with local options, they had a great option with Resident Culture Lighting Drop ($8). My bride ordered the Brussels Sprout Pizza ($17) and loved the flavor - she did say the toppings were sparse. For my selection, I went with the popular Pepperoni & Sausage Pizza ($17), and I loved it! It was so well prepared and type of the cheese made it perfect (not greasy at all). Service from Anatasia was super helpful and pleasant!

Thanks to Covid and travel reasons, I had to pass up on 2 opportunities to dine here in the past few years...but I finally just had to tag down a reservation on our date night. We made early dinner reservations at 5:30 pm, so slid in to our seats with no problem. As expected, the place was very rustic, but it was lit up with red-lighted Christmas decorations...so it was very festive and cozy. They also played great Christmas overhead...with Sinatra and Dean Martin (I think?). However, just like Good Food on Montford, this place had tight seating quarters....and we had a very small table (since they offer moderate sized tables for parties of 4 or more). Overall, I loved the warm, casual ambiance. Despite the haughty pricing on their menu, the place itself was very down to earth. Back to the menu. More than anything, they had this very special something on the menu that I've been dying to try - Truffles! However, unlike most Italian restaurants, they didn't have Fried Calamari...just this Grilled Octopus. Anyway, we ended up ordering Brussels Sprout Pizza as our appetizer, then I ordered the Truffle Tagliatelle and my husband ordered Grilled Pork as the entree, with an order of Mushrooms on the side...followed by sharing the dessert, Buttermilk Panna Cotta. First of all, their Brussels Sprout Pizza was The BOMB! Honestly, it's the best pizza I've had in I don't know how long. Absolutely loved the thin, pastry-like crust...and loved that it even came with some Prosciutto, as well as Brussels Sprout and other veggies. Again, The BOMB! As expected, my pasta dish, the Truffle Tagliatelle, was delicious...but I was underwhelmed with the Truffle. Maybe there wasn't enough of it in the dish, but I just wasn't sure if it added too much to my pasta experience. If so, it was very subtle. And yes, a very earthy, pungent taste...but again, underwhelming. If I had to do it again, I might order extra Truffle...but then, that's additional $14, and not sure if that would be worth it. Just don't know what to think about it at this point. May need to give it another try in the future. My husband loved the Grilled Pork, and we both loved the Mushrooms. I added some Mushrooms to my Tagliatelle with a weak sprinkle of Truffle...and it helped. Loved the sauce on those Mushrooms too! I was psyched that they had Panna Cotta on the menu...and we both thoroughly enjoyed that. Don't think it was THE best Panna Cotta dessert I've had, but I really liked it...and so did my hubby. Overall, I can't rate less than 5 stars. Frankly, I decided it was 5 stars once I had 1 bite of that amazing Pizza. Though I was disappointed with the Truffle, am so glad I tried it. Just glad I know of a restaurant in town that definitely has it on their menu! Although the pricing was stiff, I'm thinking that most of their foods are good enough to live up to it? Anyway, I really liked...maybe even loved this restaurant. Definitely up for returning in the future!

We went to Stagioni for my wife's birthday. Unfortunately, our server completely ruined the experience by rushing us through every step. Immediately after delivering our cocktails, he began asking us for our order - at least 3 times within ten minutes of being seated. We decided to start with the charcuterie board and he informed us that he would like us to order everything at once, but after some thought agreed to take the order to give us some more time, as if he was doing us a favor. Immediately upon getting the charcuterie (which was set down without any explanation of what was on it), he again asked for our order. At this point, I explained to him that we would like to have a leisurely dinner and to please give us some time to enjoy the food and our drinks. He looked miffed and puzzled, but seemed to understand, and we asked him to bring us each a glass of wine. After we finished the charcuterie, he came back to get our order. At this point we had only been there for less than 30 minutes. I told him that we were each going to have appetizers and dinner and would like for him to space those out appropriately. His response was that there was another table coming in an hour and fifteen minutes. I was so fed up with his BS at this point that I asked for the check and told him he could have the table immediately. I've never been so rushed through a meal. The reality is that we probably would have been finished in time for his next table, but we didn't want to stay there and have this oaf constantly pushing us. It was a uniquely horrible experience and we don't intend to return.

My hubby and I have FINALLY found our Italian spot in Charlotte. We moved here from NY 6 months ago and it has taken us this long to find an Italian restaurant with outstanding fresh pasta. We ordered their focaccia, angel hair and rigatoni. My husband, who is Italian, has a tell when he loves his pasta. He is silent and he eats really, really fast. The dishes were light and exquisite. It was so darn good we ordered the cavatellis to go. On a Thursday night at 8 pm it was full but we luckily had seating at the bar. I would recommend making reservations. I cannot wait to return to Stagioni's.

Stagioni's could be a staple in your Charlotte restaurant rotation. The food was pretty good. We ordered the mini focaccia loaf which wasn't mini at all, the tagliolini w/ meat ragu, and a delicious rigatoni w/ braised pork. Gelato for dessert. I'd order the same again. This was the first time we've been, but by the looks of things they may switch up the menu which can always be a roll of the dice. Hopefully they keep the favorites around. The service was also good! All-in-all i think it just barely slides into the 4.5 area for Charlotte (Yelp round up)

So many people love this place, so we decided to try it for our last special occasion. Covid-19: you can order and pay online. Pickup inside was easy. We got the Beef Carpaccio, Pepperoni + Sausage Pizza, Truffle Tagliatelle. The pizza was by far our favorite. The sauce was a little sweet and the cheese was fantastic. I loved the pepperoni cups and the crust was actually flavorful. The Truffle Tagliatelle was good, but it needed more sauce. A lot of it was pretty dry. The Beef Carpaccio was just ok for me. There was barely any beef. My biggest issue was the portion sizes. Everything was tiny. The pizza slices were only 3 bites big. We would have had to order double the amount of food for two people to be full. Our order was already $83 with tax and tip so that's a hefty bill. I know it's a nicer restaurant, so I expected smaller portions and higher prices, but the portions were definitely smaller than I expected for the price. The meal was good and I'm glad we tried it, but there are other places in Charlotte I'd rather eat for the price.

I want to rate this as a five-star review however, staff seems to be a little disconnected and evasive. I wouldn't say neglectful but seemed to leave the tables alone alot more than I would expect at this caliber of restaurant. The food was absolutely fantastic! The menu changes but a couple of defaults that never disappoint are the pizza and the soups. It's a little pricey of a place for pizza but they are good. And the soup is Seinfeld level good. Hands down some of the best I've had. I've also done the pesce and the scallops and they were perfectly cooked and presented beautifully. Both are full of flavors and top self quality. Parking can be a beast here.

My wife and I have been looking forward to trying Stagioni Four Seasons of Food for a few months now. And after several missed connections, we finally found a chance to celebrate a late valentine's day dinner there. My wife and I enjoyed their Pepperoni + Sausage Pizza, Beef Carpaccio, and Truffle Tagliatelle. While I enjoyed everything, I feel compelled to share the Pepperoni + Sausage Pizza was my favorite.

Great food, excellent service, and awesome service. This place is great for a date night or dinner with friends.

Don't get me wrong, I liked this place but I was a little disappointed at the same time. I think It had been hyped up so much that I was expecting more. The pasta was delicious but the portions were fairly small for the high price of each entree. No bread offered to the table or anything. Our waitress was also a little flippant. I would go back if a friend wanted to try It, but I think there are better Italian places with larger portions and more options.

Stagioni has been on our short list for some time, and my husband and I finally had a chance to try them once we entered phase 2 of the COVID pandemic. We dined inside. We had the option of their $75 tasting menu, or ordering off the regular menu. Since we'd never been and wanted a full experience, we opted for the tasting menu. Here are the items included: 1. Amuse - chilled broccoli soup with trout caviar 2. 1st course - squash blossom (me) and beef carpaccio (him) 3. 2nd course - local greens lightly dressed with lemon/oil (both) 4. 3rd course - tonnerelli pasta with pancetta, Parmesan cream, and quail egg (both) 5. 4th course - snapper with lobster and shaved vegetables (me) and hangar steak (him) 6. Sorbet - apricot 7. Dessert - warm chocolate financier (me) and mozzarella milk gelato The food was phenomenal, with just one exception. The broccoli soup had great flavor, but it was overly salty, so neither of us finished our small portions. But everything else was just outstanding. The squash blossoms and carpaccio had so much flavor, the salads were deliciousness in a simple disguise, our entrees has the most amazing accompaniments, the sorbet was really fresh, and the desserts were a perfect end to the meal. The portion sizes were perfect, and neither of us went home hungry or too full. Stagioni did add a 20% for the tasting menu, with calculations to offer a bit more. Service was outstanding, and we tipped more (as we usually do). If you are worried about COVID risks, all staff wore masks, and the tables were well-spaced for safety. There was also seating available outside. While pricey, this was definitely a high-end restaurant experience with exceptional food. We can't wait to return!

I've had maybe 3 Yelp fails and this is one of them. This restaurant has a such a fun vibe but the food is inedible!!!! Mushroom pizza 2/5 - the best out of the bunch but not necessarily good Truffle pasta 1/5 - lacked flavor, no cheese no salt, no pepper, pasta had an odd texture while not tasting good and the 2 pieces of truffle were bad and dried Ricotta gelato 0/5 - I mean it was horrible in terms of taste, texture and seemed to have gone bad and I had to spit my one bite I tried to have I'm giving 1 star as my server was an a nice guy or I would give 0 stars

Absolutely delicious Italian food even for takeout! I was worried that without the nice ambience at the restaurant the food won't live up to its fame - I was wrong! We ordered meatballs & oysters for appetizers, tartufi pizza, tagliolini & tonnarelli carbonara - everything was fantastic. Highly recommend! During covid, you need to make a reservation in advance for dine-in. Otherwise, you can place an order online for takeout. I don't think they do takeout orders through phone. We tried to call but no one picked up the phone.

It's a neighborhood place for our family. Arrogant and inattentive waiter. I will not return.

The food and drinks here were DELISH! The ambiance and decor was also very romantic and classic. The service was great. We had 2 pizzas, 2 pastas and the octopus shared between 4 people and left feeling stuffed.

We had a great date night at Stagioni. The service was really good, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was unreal - my highlight was the charred octopus. It's a must try. I also enjoyed the truffle pasta and the mussels. The ambiance is really cute. You have the opportunity to dress it up or stay smart casual, it has a wonderful vibe. Will definitely be back!

What are you all eating here for such high ratings? My food was salty and not good. Maybe bad night. But a no go for me. For starters - it's a cute spot. Our waitress was wonderful, attentive and kind. I just can't recommend this to anyone who likes fresh herbs and spices in their foods. I assumed this was a standard for Italian foods, instead I got salt.

We came here for our anniversary dinner, and it was just perfect. We started with the raw oysters and squash blossoms. The squash blossom dish is unique, and was one of my favorites of the evening. Then we went with two pastas and the swordfish for the next course. I can't remember the name, but the truffle pasta with porcini was fantastic. Favorite dish. We ended with the zeppoli, which was a fairly large portion compared to the other dishes. Great meal and service!

Stagioni was excellent for food, needs improvement for service. The ambiance or vibe in 2024 speak was really nice. My wife and I had the following: Beef Tartare: 5 stars. unconventional for what I was expecting, it's more like a cold flatbread with beef tartare on it instead of the traditional beef tartare with egg yolk and bread / chips to dip in. Would recommend. Focaccia Loaf: 5 stars. Hot, greasy, delicious, seasoned too perfection and to be dipped in Olive Oil. Good amount of bread, would be enough for 4 - 6 people. Truffle Tagliatelle: 4 stars. From the menu: "Vermouth Butter Sauce. Porcini Mushrooms. Truffle Pecorino. Truffle Oil." Excellent flavor profile for the pasta overall, only knock was I was expecting a slightly bigger portion and the noodles were a tad tough. Service was mid for this visit, 3 stars. I was disappointed in our waiter, who asked me if I wanted a box under 10 minutes after receiving our entrees, when we were still eating entrees and our focaccia. It could have even been under 5 minutes after receiving our entrees, I obviously wasn't timing it but that's what it felt like. We had explained we wanted to take our time, and he also suggested the menu was built to order a variety of things and eat them all together, sharing, etc, so we felt like, "we're still eating our focaccia, pasta, and drinking wine, why are you rushing us to leave?" When I'm at a 3 or 4 money sign restaurant per yelp this drives me crazy, I feel like I'm being rushed, and I feel like I'm being shamed for still being in the process of enjoying my dinner when the waiter comes around. Then when we actually wanted our check later on, it was as if our waiter had then stopped checking on us.

Stagioni is a really good restaurant to eat at! The menu had a good variety of options to choose from and everything that I ordered was delicious! The ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant - both inside and out - makes you feel like you are in Italy. The staff is super helpful and takes the time to explain the dishes and even provides suggestions if you need to alter the dish. And the drinks - amazing! The bartender can craft the perfect drink for you, based on what you like! MUST GO TO STAGIONI!!!

I've been disappointed in the Italian food in charlotte. It's just not that good. We went to stagioni's last night for date night and was not impressed. The ambiance is great and did appreciate that. But we didn't come here for that. We obviously came here for the food. We started off with meatballs appetizer and had little to be desired. We got a pepperoni and sausage pizza to share along with a pasta dish with short rib/ Parm. All three dishes shared the same characteristic, it had little to no flavor. While it did taste fresh, having no flavor at the cost of this place is a disappointment. Happy we tried it but certainly will not be coming back by choice.
