After picking up my take out order and getting home, my pepperoni pizza was inedible due to it drowning in oil.
I went to the owner to provide feedback and asked for another pizza and he was very rude.
I showed him pictures and tried to show him my online proof of purchase.
He stated he did not believe me.
It goes without saying, but most definitely will never return to this location.

The Arboretum Portofino’s is our go-to spot for local, nearby pizza and Italian fare.
The menu is what you’d expect at any Italian restaurant. Appetizers cover a wide path with classics like Mozzarella Sticks, Calamari and Bruschetta.
Our favorite is the fresh Mozzarella alla Caprese.
The salad menu has familiar classics but their Mixed House Salad with House Dressing is the best hands down.
Loaded with vegetables and greens, you can order this in small or entree sizes. The pizzas we order are classic NY style thin crust.
The sweet pizza sauce is really good.
Stick to only a few toppings otherwise you could get a soggy pie. The entrees are large portions.
The Chicken Parmigiana with salad and side pasta is large enough for two people.
The pastas have interchangeable pasta types like Fettucine, Angel Hair, etc and interchangeable sauces like Marinara, Alfredo, Puttanesca and Vodka. Service is good and quick.
We order take out here 90% of the time and it gets really crowded/busy at peak times.
Parking is easy in Arboretum so no worries there.
There are so many options for Italian food in Charlotte.
If you’re in the area or local to Arbo, Portfino’s is a great choice.

OUTSTANDING.
So, Larry was my server and he was on point.
I ordered the chicken piccata with capers, it was the best I've had in a minute.
The place had people coming in for pickup pizzas, one of them told me the pizza were amazing.
I'm pretty sure they are cause the chicken piccata with so tender and juicy, has the right amount of lemon and capers.
Phenomenal, I say! Everyone was really nice and I looked a reck as it was another hot day.
Hey thanks again Larry, and you were right about that chilled glass.
I'll definitely be back. ***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***
