When you don’t have access to the types of fresh food that remind you of home, one of your options could be to just open your own restaurant dedicated to the organic meals you’re used to.

That’s exactly what Siggy Sollitto did when she moved from Israel to New York City in 1993.

After conquering New York City with two successful restaurants — one in Brooklyn Heights and another in Manhattan — Sollitto settled down in the Belmont neighborhood to continue leading a revolution in providing high-quality organic comfort food.

Siggy’s Good Food has only been open in Charlotte since September, but business is growing steadily thanks to Sollitto’s passion for clean plates with a Mediterranean influence.

Queen City Nerve sat down recently with Sollitto to discuss the importance of fast fresh food, small-scale success and maintaining a loyal customer base in Charlotte.
