3 Best Day Trips from Charleston, South Carolina | Condé Nast Traveler
"It’s always nice to find something besides modern American or diner food in a smaller town, and the authenticity of this Italian bistro , together with the expertise of the chefs, is a lovely surprise. And though they're not reinventing the Italian cannon, the kitchen team here isn’t averse to bringing a local touch to some tried-and-true classics: Little Neck clams are a perfect base for their zuppa di vongole, for example, though for a real marriage of the region's bounty with Italian cuisine, the shrimp-, mussel-, clam-, and lobster tail-laden seafood scampi can't be beat. And, as befits a place whose name is “alfresco,” you'll want to dine at one of the tables out front." - Paul Oswell
