Nice ambience. Very good food. Outstanding service. My friend shared a pizza for a starter. I had lamb shanks and she ordered corn ravioli with lobster. The lamb shanks were truly lamb, not mutton and cooked beautifully in a sauce that did not overpower the delicate lamb The waiter brought me three different wines to try before I settled on my choice. It was excellent and paired beautifully with the lamb. The lamb was served on a risotto that was very well done. Cooked so that it still retained a small bite like risotto should be. I cannot comment about the ravioli because I did not try them. My companion liked it, but said it was not outstanding. We finished up the meal with an absolutely epic cannoli that was not too sweet like they sometimes can be. Service was outstanding. Every waiter who passed by made sure we had everything we needed, even though it wasn't their station.

Food was amazing! We visited on a weeknight for a birthday gathering, the service was amazing and we were seated right away. Everything we ordered was delicious. 10 out of 10!

The décor is elegant and sophisticated, creating the perfect ambiance for a special night out. The service was impeccable. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. The menu offers a delightful selection of Tuscan-inspired dishes, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the flavors were rich and authentic. The highlight for me was the osso buco, which was incredibly tender and flavorful. The wine list is extensive and features a great variety of options that pair beautifully with the menu. Our waiter helped us select a perfect wine that complemented our meal wonderfully. To top it all off, the dessert was divine. We had the tiramisu, and it was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.

I loved it. Today I had the Caesar Salad and the Pork tenderloin. Both gluten free! The chef recommended medium rare which is perfect. Honestly well seasoned and the sausage in the lentils were a great touch. The person with me had the lamb shank which a lot of people like but they didn't enjoy it and the kitchen switched it out without a fuss for the Bass. I tried it! Amazing! We also had the cosmo and the margarita. Robin, our bartender/ server, was great she was helpful and gave great recommendations. Couldn't eat any desert but they gave me sorbet which was good. I can't wait to visit again.

Aria is on my "always a good option" list. The food is consistent, service is very good, and the atmosphere is lively. They also have daily special menu items so there's always something new to try. Oh- and the cocktails are outstanding. They have a whole Negroni menu! Because of the location, it can be busy and very buzzy when there's a show or a lot going on in uptown. I definitely recommend reservations.

I visited Aria at the suggestion of the woman sitting next to me on my flight to Charlotte a couple days prior. It was a work dinner and it was full of other people at their own work dinners, along with a few families and couples. We enjoyed the fresh pasta. I got pasta with shrimp and it looked small but was quite filling. The fresh bread was delicious and they provided some sort of bean salad to put on top. They also offered to refill the bread, which was nice, at no charge to our group. My coworker had Chicken Parmesan and they enjoyed it. There was a very nice atmosphere and attentive service, but the noise level was very loud, just from people talking and what appears to be nothing to absorb the noise. It was a nice meal for a fair cost (although a bit on the pricey side the food was worth the cost) and I recommend trying it out!

Great food! The bruschetta was delicious, definitely one of the top dishes of the night. The tiramisu is also a must have. Everything else was great too. Nice ambience, perfect spot in uptown for a fancy dinner. Make sure you make a reservation as they got busy fast. Service was good. Our waiter was nice and helpful. But he was pushing us to order / bring up the bill a little too much, and wouldn't stop asking me if I wanted another drink, even though I made it clear I didn't. Overall, a good meal!

I have dined at Aria multiple times, and the food always impresses me. However, it's the exceptional service that sets this place apart. Walking in, you'll notice the refined dining atmosphere with the exposed wine cellar, elegant bar, and white tablecloths. The dress code is business casual The hosts are always gracious and level-headed, even when they are packed. The servers have been fantastic, even the one I had who was doing side-by-side training. I love that they take the time to do side-by-side training to ensure exceptional customer experience. I have had several appetizers, including the focaccia, meatballs, kale caesar and fritto misto. All of these are perfect portion sizes for sharing. They do a wonderful bread basket as well, with marinated white beans on the side, that is phenomenal. The pasta dishes I had are no longer on the menu, but they were all excellent. You can confidently order from their menu. For dessert, the tiramisu is always a delicious ending to the meal. My wow service moment was when I lost my Apple watch while dining here. It was dead so that it couldn't be pinged or located, and I didn't go straight home. I was distraught and didn't know where to find it. I was retracing my steps to no avail. Hopeless, I called, but they were only open for dinner, so I left a message. The manager called me back during the day and told me he'd check as soon as he got in for the evening. Later that afternoon, I got a call saying an employee found and turned in my watch and that they'd have it for pick up that evening. Upon arriving to retrieve it, I found that the manager had it in their possession. After a few verification steps, I was able to take it home. I felt grateful and relieved. Located inside the Bank of America center, Aria is easily accessible for pre- or post-performance bites. They also validate parking, so you can easily enter the parking deck; just remember your ticket.
