    We enjoyed another wonderful evening at 220 Cafe with our friends from Mooresville. The musician added a touch of joy to the evening and we all enjoyed our dinners. Kudos to Kelli, John and their outstanding staff for another great evening at our favorite place to wine & dine in Statesville 🎉🍷😊

    Our first visit and we’re sorry we didn’t start going there a long time ago. A very nice meal and the guitarist really added to the experience.

    Excellent food and service. My daughter and split two lunch entrees and they were kind enough to actually serve each half on separate plates. We sat outside since it was pleasant and a bit noisy inside.

    The food was amazing and we just happened to be there on a night when they had $20 off a bottle of wine $40 or more. My boyfriend had the tuna and said it was fantastic. I don’t think he’s ever said that about a meal out. I had the daily fish special which was really good as well. We both left happy and full. It was great for a date night. We will definitely be back.

    The service was great. The wait staff would check on you and move on. The food was excellent and portions were just right. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and the location was easy to find.
