Although 7th Street Public Market is just that (a market), it’s one of the best-kept secrets for food in Charlotte. It features vendors from celebrated sushi, pizza, crepes, and coffee purveyors in the city -- easily making it a one-stop culinary destination. Pro-tip: head to the market on a Thursday night for the Raclette Night where the purveyors at Orrman’s Cheese fire a wheel of semi-hard cheese under a broiler and scrape the cheese onto your plate of meat, bread and pickles.

Charlotte has more than 30 Italian restaurants, but few as simple and comforting as Mama Ricotta’s. The Midtown spot isn’t about gimmicks or reinventing Italian-American cuisine; it’s focused on the classics. Penne alla vodka ($16) arrives with sautéed pancetta in a peppery tomato cream sauce. And Mama Ricotta’s lasagna ($14), with layers of ground beef, veal, sausage, and a whole lotta cheese, is so good it’s like a hug straight from nonna.

This NoDa restaurant — created by the same team behind Crepe Cellar Kitchen & Pub, Growlers Pourhouse, and Reigning Doughnuts — is an ode to the neighborhood’s textile mill past. Dishes like charred okra and fried chicken are Southern classics perfected. And Colleen Hughes’ cocktails are some of the most innovative and beautiful in the city (think flower petals frozen into ice spheres).
