CHARLOTTE, NC (May 31, 2024) – The culinary landscape of SouthPark is about to be enriched with the vibrant essence of Latin America as Calle Sol Latin Café & Cevicheria announces its grand opening at 3100 Apex Drive. Scheduled to welcome diners on Friday, May 31, the restaurant promises an infusion of Cuban and Peruvian flavors with a colorful, inviting atmosphere that mirrors the lively streets of Miami and Tampa.
Restaurateur Frank Scibelli expressed enthusiasm about the new location: “The feedback from the first Calle Sol Café has been so positive that we knew not long after opening that we would be looking for another location. SouthPark was a natural choice as we’ve loved having some of our other concepts there over the past 14 years.”
Calle Sol will feature a curated menu that celebrates the rich culinary traditions of Cuba and Peru and everywhere in between, offering everything from savory Vaca Frita and Cuban Sandwiches to the quintessential Peruvian Ceviches and Chino-Latino Chaufas. A robust rum bar and a variety of crushable cocktails and punches will provide the perfect complement to the exotic tastes and aromas.
Adding to the charm, the restaurant will boast a 3800-square-foot space complete with a large patio (40 seat patio to open later) and expanded bar, ideal for enjoying fresh ceviche and spirited beverages. Under the leadership of General Manager Sean Whitney and Executive Chef Anthony Mossa, Calle Sol aims to replicate the success of its Plaza Midwood sibling, bringing its renowned hospitality and flavorful dishes to the SouthPark community. Director of Operations Pamela House and Corporate Chef Shai Fargian are excited to add this location to FS Food Group’s SouthPark portfolio along with Little Mama’s Italian, Yafo Kitchen and Paco’s Tacos and Tequila.
“We can’t wait to have Calle Sol join SouthPark’s vibrant dining scene,” said Adam Rhew, president and CEO of SouthPark Community Partners. “FS Food Group has such a rich history in SouthPark, and we’re thrilled to welcome yet another outstanding concept to the Southeast’s premier shopping and dining district.”
