    We have had dinner here a few times, which is an outstanding experience with a lively but comfortable atmosphere. This was my first time having lunch here and it was equally wonderful. It didn't have the same amount of people as a weekend night, understandably, but it was a perfect choice for a business lunch. The lunch menu is priced very well and has a large amount and variety of menu selections to choose from, all at a very reasonable price for lunch. Our service was quick and our server was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional - Shoutout Dimitri :) ! I always recommend Angeline's as a great dinner spot in Uptown Charlotte, but will add it to my lunch recommendations for people in Uptown as well!

    The food was really good, the focaccia was the star of the show. The atmosphere was nice, think of a more casual date night restaurant with good Italian food.
