Had an excellent dinner at Arooji’s Wine Room last night. We started with the stuffed mushrooms and the stuffing was very creamy and the mushrooms were aromatic and flavorful. We moved on to a Caesar salad which had a nice tangy dressing and fresh romaine. The lasagna that my wife ordered was massive and delicious. She has leftovers for days! The chicken parm that I ordered was also a huge portion. The chicken was tender and juicy and the spaghetti was cooked nicely. The restaurant was dimly lit and romantic. While we’re not big wine drinkers, they definitely seemed to have an extensive list of options. We’ll definitely return for another taste of Tuscan goodness!

Had a great experience at Atooji’s Wine Room. My Book Club picked this place and it was a great choice! They put us in this little room in the back and our service was stellar. They gave us complementary bread with olive oil/olives to start. That was a very nice touch and it was delicious. They had a pretty extensive menu and a really nice wine list. I had the Caesar salad salad which definitely had homemade dressing and it was very fresh and flavorful. I also had the chicken Parm. I subbed the spaghetti for penne à la vodka. I was in the mood for it. The pasta was al dente and the chicken was crispy and had a decent amount of sauce and cheese on top. I thought it was great. You could pay your bill with Toast at the end instead of waiting for your credit card. I thought the prices were reasonable and I would definitely go back.

Located in the Promenade on Providence shopping center, Arooji’s Wine Room and Ristorante has been serving Tuscan-inspired cuisine for over 22 years, making it a long-standing spot in Ballantyne’s dining scene. With murals throughout the dining space, the ambiance leans into a rustic, old-world charm that complements their Italian menu.
I stopped by for lunch on a Sunday when only the lunch menu was available, which mainly featured soups, salads, sandwiches, and pastas. One thing to note is that their pastas are not made in-house. Fresh bread with oil and balsamic vinegar is served, a nice touch before the meal.
When trying a new Italian restaurant, eggplant parmigiana is usually my go-to. While the lunch menu only had it in sub form, my waiter, Joel, who was great and checked in at appropriate times, was able to accommodate me with a lunch-sized portion of the dinner eggplant parmigiana plate with spaghetti.
The red sauce leaned more acidic than sweet, which some may prefer, but the eggplant itself was roasted and baked rather than fried, resulting in a mushy texture. It was difficult to distinguish where the eggplant ended and the sauce began. I also didn’t see any mozzarella on top, just a light sprinkle of Parmesan. I know some Italians prefer it that way, but I wasn’t sure if that was intentional or just an oversight. The best way to describe this dish would be a roasted eggplant caponata without the capers and olives served over spaghetti.
The spaghetti itself was cooked correctly, and there was plenty of sauce to coat the pasta. But overall, this style of eggplant parmigiana wasn’t my preference.
One unexpected observation was the men’s restroom setup, which was a bit puzzling. There were two toilets, but one was out in the open instead of enclosed in a stall. Not sure about the logistics there.
Since Arooji’s is a bit of a drive for me, I would need some convincing to return. Nothing was bad, but it wasn’t my ideal style of Italian food. That said, I was told their lasagna and house-made meatballs, which are only available at dinner, are worth trying. If I do come back, that’s what I’ll be ordering.

It has been many years since I ate at Arooji’s Wine Room, and I had dinner on Saturday with family and friends. The food and service were fantastic. We started off with the crab & spinach dip, and the crostini was toasted perfectly. I had the Gnocchi Pesto with chicken, and I loved it. We shared the tiramisu and three chocolate cake for dessert, and they were delicious. Since this is a wine bar, they have a huge selection of wine. We had a Patz & Hall Pinot Noir that was a very good wine. Angel was our server, and he provided exceptional service. If you are looking for good Italian food and wine, check out Arooji’s Wine Room.

Cool looking location. They had good wine sections. Unfortunately, the app we wanted they ran out of meatballs for at 7pm on a Saturday. So, we skipped apps. The salad was as really good. The pasta which was a special could have been hotter and took awhile to get. I like to take my time. However, we did not see the waiter very often in between the wait and had to ask for refills. An overall OK visit. No highs or lows.

This was our first time at Arooji’s Wine room and for a Saturday night it was surprisingly empty but honestly, we didn’t mind since it added to the intimate feel which we do enjoy. We ordered a few different appetizers and entrees and compared to other Italian restaurants in the Charlotte area we feel the food underwhelmed, we are not saying that it was not good just giving our honest opinion as compared to other restaurants. The service by the staff was top notch and there was never an empty glass of water, wine or dirty dish on the table. Their attentiveness to every detail should be applauded and this added to our lovely evening at Arooji’s.

We stopped by to celebrate a birthday. The ambience, the service, and the food were absolutely outstanding!! We were surprised it wasn’t more crowded- probably because we went close to closing time.
We ordered the crab cakes, bruschetta, pesto gnocchi and lobster ravioli and ended with the crème brûlée cheesecake (dessert suggestion was by one of the friendly staff). Each and every item we ordered had been plated and prepared with care and was absolutely delicious. Our waiter was very attentive too.
We will definitely be back to this hidden gem!

Wonderful interiors. The decor needs to be appreciated and you can visit this place just to feel the ambience. Customer service was excellent. They took around 15-20 to serve the food. The taste was good. Alfredo pasta was so creamy and delectable. The gyro tasted good too. Meat was well cooked.

This ranks as one of the best Italian restaurants in town. It’s very unassuming, cozy and inviting, it is run by Italians and has great food and atmosphere. From the bread on, the food was very good. I had the Penne Vodka with ham. It had nice flavor of spagetti sauce, vodka and cream. My boyfriend had the eggplant and it was very tender. The dessert was Tiramisu and it was a delicious italian cake with a custard cream and chocolate, so delightful! The service was wonderful! I will definetely be back!
