The Charlotte 500, Lap 9: Pssghetti's

Pssghetti's, located off Sam Furr Rd (NC 73), in Huntersville was a wonderful surprise. Nestled among the stores, like Blockbuster, you'd expect in a Target/Lowes strip mall, we expected Pssghetti's to be a pseudo fast food Italian restaurant along the lines of Pasta Makers. As soon as we walked in the front door, we knew we had the wrong idea. Beautifully decorated, with loads of copper along the walls and ceiling, Pssghetti's carried a typical Italian menu - chicken parmigiana, ravioli, lasagna, etc. Starting with the bread and butter, continuing with the salad, and through the main entrees, everything was fantastic. Tiffany and I split a plate of chicken scallopini with cuscus, while we both had a taste of her dad's chicken parmigiana. All of it was great. We'll be back soon. Or at least as soon as I have a job. The service, friendly and informative, was just as good as the food. I put both my thumbs up for Pssghetti's.

Pssghetti's also has a location in Blowing Rock, NC, up in the mountains, and is opening soon in Clearwater, FL.
