Best Restaurants in Charlotte

Where are your favorite places to dine in Charlotte?

We have always enjoyed going to Trio.

When you enter Trio, a world of dining experiences opens for you. Great food is served at reasonable prices in a comfortable casual environment.

You may choose to dine in a lively bar area, in cozy booths, in an open central area with linen-dressed tables and a warm wood-burning pizza oven, in a semi-private room, or “al fresco” under the umbrellas on the outdoor patio.

Trio provides a blend of traditional and contemporary foods. You will be impressed with the quality, variety, and prices of their food.

So, where are some of your favorite places to eat?
