Charlotte’s Uptown just lost a piece of its flavor—Bella Ciao, the Italian spot that’s been serving up pasta and memories for 14 years, has closed its doors for good. The owners pointed to tough economic times and lingering effects from the pandemic as the final straw. Over 2.5 million guests came through those doors, making it more than just a restaurant for many locals. If you ever celebrated a milestone or just grabbed a quick lunch there, this one hits home. What’s your favorite Bella Ciao memory? How do you feel about the changing face of Uptown dining? #Food #CharlotteEats #UptownCharlotte
