Stacey and Kevin Jennings, the husband-and-wife team behind Vivace, are bringing a new casual Italian concept to south Charlotte. Civetta Italian Kitchen + Bar will open in the StoneCrest at Piper Glen shopping center in the old Smoke Modern Barbecue space.
The southern Italian restaurant will be open for dinner only during the first few weeks, then plans to expand to lunch service. The menu will include classics like bucatini (with housemade meatballs), puttanesca, bolognese, chicken (or eggplant) parmesan, veal saltimbocca, and chicken marsala.
