Intermezzo Pizzeria And Cafe

This place is a trip!!! I was unsure if we were going in, but I am so glad we did. Do not let anything on the outside sway you from going in for some amazing food. Jacob was our server, and he was very helpful with any questions. He even gave some great suggestions. I am looking forward to going back to try something else.

I have passed by Intermezzo's dozens of times and always said "maybe I'll stop in next time". Well next time finally came as some friends chose it for dinner and I wish I went sooner than I did. Walking in the place gives a diner/ bar type vibe with Italian decor. The bar vibe I got might only be because the bar was full and the rest of the seating area was completely empty. What really threw me for a loop was when I got the menu and saw not only Italian but also Serbian food. Everything on the menu looked so good. I chose the prosciutto and mushroom pasta for my entree. I was interested in the Serbian food but was thinking Italian when I got there and that's what my heart was set on. The food came out quickly and was really, really good. The prosciutto and mushroom pasta had so many flavors and was perfectly prepared. There was a few hiccups with the service. Getting water refills could be challenging (I had to get up and walk over to the waiter and ask for refills a couple of times). Also, at the end of the meal it took several times to ask for our check to pay so we could leave. Everyone was super friendly once they got to our table be to get them to our table was hard at times.

What an amazing place! The staff was friendly and very welcoming and the food was phenomenal! We had a party of 7 and ordered several appetizers to begin. We ordered the Bruschetta, Ricotta and Goat Cheese Crostini and Garlic Braided Twists, which were all perfectly prepared. You have to try the Prosciutto and Mushroom Pasta as a meal! The flavors melded well together. We also enjoyed a Chicken Florentine Pizza. (Minus the bacon) We will definitely visit this place again!

I went to Intermezzo in Charlotte, North Carolina as part of a meet up group. It was 16 of us and I found out when we got there, we had to sit outside. It was one of the hottest days of the year. They had fans but it absolutely wasn’t enough. There were also flies but there’s no way they could help that. The service started out well, but then went downhill. I totally understand that people are short staffed so it didn’t bother me too much. The food was average. I was really looking forward to going there. I ended up getting the kale salad with the shrimp. The dressing was good. Two of my friends got the eggplant. They said it was way over salted. They also made mistakes on a few of the orders, but the best part was one of the mess ups was a pizza so my friend was still hungry and asked if she could have the pizza that was a mistake and the waiter said “yeah, but you have to pay for it”. She said, of course. I thought that was a little tacky. I would definitely go back and try it again. I think it was just too many of us at once and I wish they would’ve told the head of the meet up that we were going to sit outside because we probably wouldn’t have gone. The other strange thing was I guess they added a server to our table and some people got two checks because each server had to get shipped separately. It is what it is.

This restaurant was such a pleasant surprise. I discovered it on a whim when I went to a local business. It has a very casual neighborhood feeling and doesn't look like much, plus pizza from a Serbian restaurant? I was skeptical at best. It did not resemble any pizza I ever had and I couldn't eat it fast enough, it was so delicious. Thin crispy crust, fresh flavorful cheese and seasoning. The outdoor patio and service is very pleasant and welcoming. I did not try anything else on the menu, so can't speak to it. Will absolutely return.
