Angeline's
Day 1: 5-Course Italian Locavore Tasting Series
This convivial spot is tucked into the Kimpton Tryon Park, Charlotte’s most sophisticated boutique hotel, and has become a magnet for Italian food lovers. Though granted, that's just about everyone, yes? Here, in a handsome space that features high ceilings, unique hanging light fixtures, and warm wood finishes, you will find a modern take on old favorites like veal saltimbocca (but served with apricot and fig marmalade) or whipped ricotta (but served with lavender honey). Executive Chef Farid Ahmed was born in Rochefort along the shores of southwestern France and graduated from Atlanta’s Le Cordon Bleu of Culinary Arts with honors in 2007. That same year, he began working as an extern at Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, NC, where he quickly earned the title of sous chef at the resort’s Forbes four-diamond 1895 Grille. He's now leading the team to success at Angeline's, with recent spots on Charlotte Mag's 2024 "Best Italian" List and Axios' "Best Charlotte Restaurants" List. We're excited to visit!
