Nestled in historic downtown Concord, North Carolina, Gianni's Trattoria was opened on the 4th of November 2008 by Proprietor Gianni and Executive Chef Heather Stadler.

101 West Avenue
Kannapolis, NC 28081
Forty Six is the first of many restaurants to open at the North Carolina Research Campus. The unique name comes from the number of chromosomes in the human genome. Adorning the restaurant walls are scientific themed art coupled with numerous quotations from pioneers of science. The overall theme of Forty Six gets to the heart of why David H. Murdock decided to open a restaurant that would serve healthful food. Forty Six and its culinary team envisioned a start of a "culture of healthy food" not only for the employees of the NCRC, but for the people of Kannapolis and the surrounding areas.
Some of their tasty -- and healthy! -- dishes include their tasty Shrimp Ceviche and their Chicken Caesar Pesto Wrap.
