Our Owner's Story
Owners Christina and Titus Bartolotta have called Lake Norman home for over a decade. The founders of “The Lotta Foundation” which was a local charity supporting at risk families in need of a hand up and the proud parents of Josiah and Noah, these two individuals are committed to their faith, family, and community. Both Christina and Titus studied Culinary Arts in collage and have worked as chefs in the food industry for many years. With a passion for customer service, and business, the Bartolotta’d found their passion and interest draw them into many marketplace segments over the years and with that success and achievement followed, however the opportunity to share their faith, to watch their family grow, and to see the Lake Norman community thrive is something that has and continues to bring enormous joy and satisfaction to the family.
