WONDERFUL FOOD AND SERVICE

by LeanneSecret

happened upon this place accidentally while looking for Harris Teeter. Went in to order some food to go. The owner was very funny, and welcoming. I was laughing the entire time I was ordering. When I got home, and eat dinner, it was delicious!! Food was well prepared and packed, and absolutely wonderful. I just called and made another order to go right now. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone looking for good food, and good service. GREAT PLACE!!

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: Nothing

Best Italian in Charlotte

by redjlo2

My family has been going there for years. It is wonderful. Love the ziti bolognese. Lunch is great price for so much food. Just wish they were not so stingy with the bread. Would recommend to everyone.

• Pros: great food, great price

Poor Customer Service

As if the service wasn't bad enough, the owner is always up in your face. Poor service! Will never go there again!

• Pros: It's Italian
• Cons: Everything else.

You'll think you just stepped off a side street in Rome instead of a strip mall in the suburbs.

The Scene
The place is always bustling, with shouts from family members (who run the restaurant) to each other and to the customers, many of them regulars.

Required Eating
Dishes like pizza, lasagna and baked ziti are basic, but always made with fresh ingredients right when you order. You can taste the fresh mozzarella, basil and homemade marinara. Your plate will come full, with hot, crispy bread on the side.

The Feel
The restaurant itself is a small, spare place, but the food is quite the opposite. Amalfi is a real place in Italy, the hometown of the proprietors. It's a place you'd have loved to have grown up in, at least around dinnertime. Their Charlotte restaurant is the closest you'll get.

Best Pizza and Calzones

by cualpha

If you want a true New York Pizzeria you'll love Amalfi's. If you love real pizza and calzones you have to give it a try. Absolutely the best pizza in Charlotte maybe even in NC and SC. It is a great place to take the kids for a meal you can all enjoy. I recommend going early or calling a head if you have a large group because it is always busy. And if you cant wait get it to go it is worth it!

• Pros: Inexpensive, Good Parking, Excellent food
• Cons: Crowded

Nickle, Dime, Wasted Time?

by NaturalizedNative

While Alamfi's undoubtedly has one of the finest Sicilian (square, thick) pizzas in Charlotte, getting it the way you want it will cost you as all toppings are a'la carte (same with Portofino's & Nichi's). Getting reasonable service here is a crap shoot. On two occasions dining alone I walked out because I was never served. On one occasion with my wife, we walked out for the same reason. Ditto on no bottomless drinks; another example of how you can get nickel and dimed here.

Food is great; Service SUCKS; kinda pricey.

• Pros: Great Food
• Cons: Pricey, Lousy Service, Nickel & Dime

Simply the best!!

by dvazquez70

Amalfi's has the best pizza in Charlotte if not even the Carolina's. They also have a variety of other delicious italian favorites. With a family environment that is hard to find these days. Stop by and try it out for yourself.

great pizza!

by inaboysdream

being 18, and a college student, pizza's a frequent meal, the only thing that I disagree with is that Amalfi's is #8, instead of #1

• Pros: inexpensive, good parking, quick service
