We love the warm atmosphere, the ever changing and creative menu, the helpful servers who never forget you or your needs, the owner/ chef who is there to make sure his patrons are having a great meal, the wine list as well as welcoming us to bring our own bottle of wine and the list goes on. Can’t say enough good things about Aqua E Vino!
We been here many times and every time is exceptional, no questions! This place has it all - authentic delicious Italian food, intimate atmosphere, attentive staff...you name it. Hands down to the best chef in town Gabriele!!
Ate here twice with my wife within the past 3 weeks at an early dinner hour when it was not busy. Creative dishes where the ingredients complement each other beautifully. Charcuterie and cheese board has the best of Italian cheeses, salamis, and prosciutto di Parma. Delicious food. Excellent wine list. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful.
This is a not-so-hidden gem in Southpark. I love this place! The food, service, ambience. Chef is amazing and approachable.b
To quote the waiter, this was DINING. Not just eating out. Food was awesome. Really. I don't use that word often. Can't recommend highly enough. MAKE RESERVATIONS. This place only seats about 30. It's totally worth it. Spend the time for the experience.

Went for my birthday at the end of December and loved it! Reminded me of some restaurants we visited in Florence. Chef is very personable and the food was amazing! Great place and we will be back!
Short and sweet, the best Italian in Charlotte!!!! I'm from New Jersey and this place could fit right in where I grew up as well as in any town that I have visited in my 20 trips to Italy!! For was amazing from the bread to the meal great wine selection to boot! Will be back often!
Had a fabulous dinner at Aqua e Vino Thursday night. Got VERY lucky as we walked in without a reservation and were seated at the "table of temptation", best table in the house!! Fabulous food, exceptional service! I believe our server's name was Addy. We'll definitely go back!!
We were so impressed with the creativity and authenticity of our dinner (and dessert)! Intimate setting - phenomenal food - attentive staff. You have to go!
Best Italian restaurant in Charlotte. Everything from the atmosphere and service to the food and wine is superb. I can't stop dreaming about your charcuterie board. My husband and I love celebrating our anniversaries and special occasions here! Kudos to the chef and staff on this beautiful, intimate restaurant!!
Great food and great wine!

Loved loved the octopus, absolutely delicious! Great service and enjoyed the atmosphere. Celebrated a friend's birthday and they made it special.
The best in Charlotte or I should say one of the top restaurants in US.
Had a great time at Aqua e Vino. Been wanting to try it for a while. Our server Rachel was great. Very attentive and knew the menu and gave us some good suggestions as well. We had a few different pastas, the special burrata and the eggplant Parmesan. Everything was delicious. They also made a great dirty martini and had a great wine selection. The only thing that was sort of annoying was our reservation was at 6:30 and I made a mistake and got there at 6. My friend was late and got there at 6:50 and Rachel was telling us we had to leave by 7:30 (which was impossible at that point, because we just ordered). The hostess probably shouldn’t have sat me if I was there a half hour early. I had no idea until my friend got there. I’m not sure what happened there.
We went for diner and ended up having the tasting menu, $80 pp, although the final bill was $270.
In spite of the price, I would recommend it, in our case for a special occasion. The food was delicious and I certainly was very full by the end. We will be back.
Food and wine was great, Marco was our waiter and was very knowledgeable along with great hospitality! Small dining area so be sure to make a reservation ahead of time to get a table
Tonight was excellent! We visited Aqua e Vino to celebrate a friend who was visiting town.
Our waiter, Ben, provided top notch service and made recommendations on wine and food throughout the service. The Dover Sole special was 10/10 and highly recommend ordering if it’s on the menu.
We will definitely be visiting again as this is one of the best meals we’ve had since moving back to Charlotte.
The food was amazing, and our server was very sweet. We sat outside, which was amazing, but we didn’t feel neglected at all!
We got burrata to start, we had gnocchi and ravioli as our main dishes. The seasoning and the portion were just right. The ravioli sauce was refreshing and minty. The gnocchi was fluffy and just dense enough.
The only complaint would be that the peace almond tart we got was a little dry, but it’s not a big deal in comparison to the good food we got!
I would definitely come back here again!
Food was excellent and authentic. Portions are small but adequate for high quality Italian Restaurant. Service was exquisite. I will recommend this restaurant to anyone who really appreciate gourmet food experience with a great ambiance.Thank You!
My sister and I ate here for restaurant week. It was amazing. I had the manzo, tajarin, and a lemon meringue tart. She had the panzanella, tortelli, and chocolate tart. We shared a bottle of white wine the waiter recommended and finished the evening with some limoncello. Everything was perfection from the service to the last grain of coarse salt.
Amazing 5-year anniversary experience, starting with the water- I’ve never liked the taste of sparkling until now! (Sparkling Mineral water included complimentarily, unusual but nice touch). Delicious passionfruit Bellini, the best duck I’ve ever had (with the fat perfectly crusted) in a savory fig glaze, also a watermelon-mint caprese salad appetizer was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Beautiful restaurant!
We enjoyed trying this restaurant for the first time during the Queen’s Feast. The Polipo (octopus) was especially delicious as was the Signorine (boar ragu with chestnut pasta). My husband had the Porchetta and while it was good, he had hoped for something different. There was nothing wrong with it, he just didn’t know what to expect. We ate on the covered and heated patio and found it to be comfortable despite the outside chill of January.
I am in love. I had the veal with the mint zucchini. The atmosphere is so intimate. The service was attentive and perfectly executed. The wine had legs and completed the whole experience.and the food…..Oh the food…
