Housed within the Holiday Inn Charlotte, this restaurant-cafe seems to have it all—oven-roasted pizzas, alfresco dining, and even wireless Internet services. The color red is used unsparingly, but it rather complements the dark wooden furniture and the dim lighting. Private dining can turn out to be quite a romantic affair, and you can choose from a menu sporting pizzas, sea-fare, fresh pastas, steak, panini and other Mediterranean items. Catering and valet services are also available.
• Hours: Su-W 6:30a-midnight, Th-Sa 6:30a-2a, Bar: daily noon onwards
