One Dinner in Charlottesville

[csorrento]

Hi Everyone. I'm going to be in Charlottesville with my SO between Christmas and New Years and I am having a hard time choosing one restaurant for dinner. After reading through a few websites, I'm thinking of Tavola, Zocalo, or Brookville but I'm open to other suggestions too. The only other time I was in Charlottesville I ate at Savour, which was very good. Please let me know what you recommend. We both really enjoy food and dining out and want somewhere with really good food. Thank you!

The Local is outstanding fine dining for dinner.

Zocalo is very good and right in the middle of downtown. It would be easy to have dinner there and then relocate for drinks after.

If you don't absolutely need to dine downtown, Letoile is the best French cuisine in the area and focuses on local, sustainable foods: http://www.letoilerestaurant.com/

Er also recently had an excellent dinner at Maya Restaurant (try the duck!) http://maya-restaurant.com/

I find Fellinis, mentioned below, only average. Brookville is phenomenal, but you need to be a meat eater, and my other recommendations would be Orzo Kitchen, L'etoile and Mas Tapas in Belmont. I have heard good things about Tavolo but have not eaten there.

I don't have that "one restaurant for dinner" choice, but we always enjoy the Blue Mountain Brewery which is near C-ville. Good micro brews and sandwich fare. It might be a nice short trip for you.
