Enjoyed a nice Saturday dinner with the family here. The atmosphere was nice, not too busy or overbearing. The food was good. I had the chicken Parmesan (parmigiana) which I really liked and my husband had the crab ravioli which was also tasty. My kids enjoyed the chicken Alfredo which was a great portion size for them. I would definitely return.

If I would’ve rated this place the first time I went, which was a couple years ago, it would’ve gotten 5 stars. I’m not sure what happened but it wasn’t quite as good this time. The food was OK, calamari, lobster speghattini. The negroni was actually good. Service was good. The atmosphere was casual and lively on a Sunday afternoon.

First time here. Great food. Nice chill spot. The atmosphere is really nice to go out on date night, dinner with family or friends. You will dig it. I loved the Grilled Trout.

What can I say about OGGI! It is one of the best Italian restaurants you can take your business guests, family, friends or just to treat your palate. Have been to this place for many years, visiting Charlotte & I have always left this place feeling good about my decision. Don’t miss the banana bread pudding.

My favorite Italian restaurant in NC. The service is always great and they’re always happy. The food is delicious! It’s a bit pricey but everything is pricey these days. LOVE IT!

Haven’t been here in awhile but decided to come for my birthday because they had the best dessert menu- but all of the food was AMAZING. Not only was the food delicious, but the staff were fantastic. Our server was friendly and quick! If we needed something any of the other staff members jumped in to help if he was busy. The manager made her presence known and you could tell she really cared about the customer experience. It wasn’t just a “thank you” but a true appreciation of the guests dining with them. We will definitely be adding OGGI back into the rotation!

Absolutely knocked it out of the park. The service (S/o our waiter Trent) and the food were fantastic and while it is a cozier place the space was more than enough. The drinks and food were really good. Highly recommend the broccoli rabe and chicken/ eggplant parmigiana. The special dishes were also amazing and profiteroles (not pictured) were a tasty dessert!

They got us in for a last minute reservation for Mothers Day and even though the hostess/manager told me they could only seat us outside they managed a booth indoors knowing the my mom is elderly and the heat might be too much for her. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and the service was great. We had meatballs, salads, vodka pasta and chicken parm. Delicious and the portions were generous! Whenever a restaurant goes the extra mile-especially on a super busy occasion-you can be sure they are committed to a good dining experience. Thank you for saving our Mothers Day! We will definitely be back!!!
