Stagioni

Stagioni is chef and owner Bruce Moffett’s modern Italian restaurant inside a historic villa on Providence Road in Myers Park. The name means seasons, and the menu changes with them, but the format holds: wood fired pizza served with a pair of scissors, fresh pasta and slow roasted meats including the meatballs.

It is one of the few restaurants in Charlotte that lands on both the best pizza and the best restaurants conversations. Moffett also runs Barrington’s, Bao and Broth and Sala, the European style cocktail and wine lounge next door that works for a drink before or after.

What to know

• Cut your own pizza with scissors; the pepperoni and sausage is the order.
• Fresh pasta and roasted meats are as strong as the pizza.
• Inside a historic Myers Park villa; a first date and an anniversary room at once.
• Sala, the sister cocktail lounge, is next door.
