Market Fresh
Mama Ricotta’s is a longtime favorite in Charlotte for traditional Italian cuisine. The food
is created with the same passion and adventurous spirit as the cooking that owner Frank
Sciabelli grew up with. They always seek the finest and freshest ingredients available and
feature house-made fresh mozzarella, breads, sausages, and sauces.
Carpe Diem, owned by Bonnie Warford, has been on Charlotte’s fine dining scene for years.
They strive to use local products from their hard working farm partners. They are known
for perennial favorites such as their hazelnut-crusted goat cheese salad and also offer
creative seasonal specials and vegetarian options.
Carpe Diem
Carpe Diem’s Executive Chef, Paul
Ketterhagen, has created a salmon to
utilize the bounty of spring vegetables.
Coat grilled salmon with chimichurri
glaze and serve with these sides for a
perfect spring dish.
Carpe Diem has been preparing New
American dishes like this one for almost
25 years. Look for their casual offshoot,
Earl’s Grocery, opening early summer.
