Legami

We had an incredible dinner at Legami in downtown Charleston! Our server Michael was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and gave spot-on recommendations. We tried the scallops, grouper, and lobster risotto, and every dish was beautifully prepared. I also had the Shhh! Club Above, a raspberry lemonade style cocktail, and it was amazing, perfectly refreshing and sweet. Elegant atmosphere, excellent service, and phenomenal food. Highly recommend!

I had an incredible dining experience at Legami in Charleston, SC! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home. The food was outstanding, especially the handmade pasta, bursting with flavor. The dessert was heavenly! A perfect spot for a memorable meal. Can’t wait to return! Highly recommend! A few of the must try’s in my opinion are definitely the Beef Tartar, Lobster Risotto, and of course finish off with an Espresso Thy Self cocktail 🍸

Very sexy Italian restaurant. First off I want to say that I loved the ambiance as soon as I walked in. It is very spacious and they have a wonderful staff. I didn't even realize they had an upstairs area but when the bartender let me know; I must say it was worth going up there. That second floor is a whole vibe. The lamb and the seafood pasta were so delicious. And I love how their cocktail menu is unique from a lot of other restaurants. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there and will definitely be back!

Let me preface this by saying, I absolutely love dining out with my dog. But if you're planning to bring your pup to Legami during a heat advisory, you might want to think twice—or at least be ready for some "interesting" adventures in outdoor dining. When we arrived, naturally, we were seated outside, as we hadn't made any special arrangements (rookie mistake). Thankfully, there were fans to combat the Southern heat, but those fans also served as a perfect vehicle for the soft-spoken waiter, whose attempts to explain specials or take our order were completely drowned out by the whirring of the blades. Every time he spoke, we found ourselves squinting and leaning in like we were trying to hear a secret code. By the end of it, I felt like a broken record, asking him to repeat himself. I'm sure I wasn't the only one—our neighbors at the next table had the same issue and creatively concocted a story about being deaf in one ear to avoid the awkwardness. We would have been amused if we weren't already in the middle of a struggle ourselves. Then there was the water situation. After ordering sparkling water to stave off the heat, our server brought over a glass that had fingerprints on it, as if it had been polished by a toddler with greasy fingers. While we saw him later perfecting his glass-polishing skills at another table, it was a little late for first impressions. And, if you’re someone who appreciates water refills and attentive service, you might feel neglected here. We had to ask another waiter for a simple glass of tap water after being left high and dry. The same went for the dog—a water bowl, which I honestly thought would be a given, had to be requested, and even then, it was like we were asking for a golden chalice of water. Oh, and don’t even get me started on the wine chiller. We were treated like inconveniences, not guests. On the plus side, the food was decent—my lobster risotto was flavorful, and my husband’s ragu, which turned out to be oxtail, was a solid choice (though a bit too gelatinous for his liking). But, considering the premium price, I’d hoped for more than just the basic offering. The cherry on top? The manager seemed unfazed by our feedback, and our waiter, perhaps in a small act of passive resistance, took his sweet time bringing us the check. We left the place feeling like we’d just survived a slightly uncomfortable date, only to realize it was unlikely there would be a second one. Would we try Legami again? Maybe—sans dog and only if we’re prepared to endure less-than-stellar service.

When having a friend come in from out of town and considering all options, Legami provides a great realistic feel and vibe of what it’s like to live in Charleston. Between beautifully crafted cocktails, service that was impeccable (Shoutout to Doug!), and food that was absolutely devine, there is nothing negative to say. We took the opportunity to sit on the patio, which did have awnings covering it and fans providing cool air.

I would like to thank Alessandro and Emma for one of the best experiences I can remember. Alessandro, you are a star and thank you for delivering a perfect small plate sampling from your favorite menu items. The food was amazing and authentic. This is a must go-to place while in Charleston and hopefully Emma will be your host!

📸 Check out this photo from my recent visit to Legami’s in downtown Charleston! 🍝 The seafood pasta I had was to die for, and Tom’s beef cheeks were incredibly tender. The ambiance of this newer Italian restaurant was perfect for a romantic dinner. We can’t wait to go back!

Came here for dinner and this establishment is quite new for the King Street area and I love the ambience of this place. Very inviting and chic! Our server was attentive and checked on our table often. For the food part, we started with the piattini, I really enjoyed the beef tartare but we also ordered the burrata and crispy polenta. For the piatti / main course I really enjoyed and truly recommend the fillet mignon alla Wellington and the king crab . The cocktails options were pretty scrumptious as well. I say yay for Legami! Go check them out!

Sat out on the patio at a small table for two. There was one waiter for numerous tables and so service was subpar. Took too long to get drinks and there was very slow follow up when food was served. I had the grouper which was chewy. My wife had the gnocchi and it was very good but could have used pepper which was not offered. Sauces on the dishes were fantastic and the ambiance was quite nice. Could have been a great experience but fell far short unfortunately.

I can't believe Legami wasn't on my radar until recently! We had an incredible dinner with outstanding drinks. The Legami Martini truly made its mark with the burrata-stuffed olives. We tried the oysters, which were uniquely paired with pickled onions. The added crunch gave them an unexpected texture that actually worked surprisingly well together. The Shrimp Kataifi was another favorite. I had never had anything like it before, but I do wish the portion included more than three shrimp for the price. This was the best Gnocchi dish I've ever had. It was both creamy and flavorful. If Gnocchi isn't your style, I highly recommend the Pappardelle Al Ragu. Overall, it was a great dinner with exceptional service and beautiful presentation.

Excellent & funny staff! AMAZING PASTA. Creative drinks too! My main course was the bolognese but every pasta I tried was phenomenal. The gnocchi MELTS in your mouth. The ravioli is so satisfying. The bolognese is perfectly filling. I wish I could eat here every day.

We have been wanting to try Legami for a while now, we had heard so many good things and they did not disappoint. From the moment you walk in, everything looked amazing! They have 4 or more different experiences to eat in that can transport you straight to Italy! We sat upstairs in an indoor/outdoor area and the lighting was perfect! We got to really experience the menu with delicious cocktails and N.A. beverages along with their apps and pastas, everything was so delicious and I really recommend to order various dishes so you can share! The dessert was so light and airy and then to finish it off with a lemon cello was perfect! The service was also super on it and made sure we were good throughout the meal, I cannot recommend Legami enough for an awesome dinner or celebration, Ciao!

WOW! This is my favorite meal in Charleston to date. From the beautiful garden we were sitting in to the cafe of the staff I have zero complaints! We started our meal with the whipped ricotta, 5/5-the sautéed zucchini with the ricotta was the perfect mix of salty with creamy. Our family got a mix of the entres but I got the crab pasta dish, and the spicy but tangy flavors were stunning. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the crab was extremely tender. As someone who grew up in a full Italian household it's been hard to find my favorite local Italian restaurant. This may be it! Cannot wait to go back! We did not try any desserts but the Aperol spritz was yummy!

Legami brunch! Very different than your typical modern Italian; this concept is very traditional with culture twists. I loved the cocktails and the service was top tier! From beginning to end this place was a little bit of Italy in Charleston! Their backyard patio is chefs kiss! Perfect for a girls brunch and dinner gathering!

Might be my new favorite Italian place in town! Delicious food, great cocktails, kid-approved dessert, and excellent service! For appetizers we had the potatoes with béarnaise sauce and bread with ricotta. For mains we shared ravioli, gnocchi, and chicken cacciatore. The pastas were phenomenal! Gnocchi was my favorite. The chicken almost needed to be more seasoned but all was still very good. For dessert we opted for the chocolate and raspberry pastry. The raspberry sorbet was so delicious! This is definitely a pricey place but the food was all wonderful. Very beautiful inside with both indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend!

Upon arrival, we were pleasantly greeted by the host and hostess. We informed the hostess, who escorted us to our table, that we were missing one person in our party. She did an excellent job of noting this information and guiding the last member of our party to our table. The decor and aesthetics of the restaurant were stunning. I was really impressed with how many tables they managed to fit in both the indoor and outdoor spaces. The upstairs dining area looked somewhat like a converted patio, I'll be curious to see if they're able to keep this space cool once summer rolls around. Once seated, our server, Lindsey, was really sweet and attentive. She took great care of us and was quick to resolve any issues. For the table, we ordered the crudo of the day and the focaccia rosemarino with whipped ricotta nduja. The crudo itself was good, but I was not impressed with the plating. Visually, I think the fish could and should have been sliced thinner. Additionally, the fried capers were tossed in salt, and then the crudo was garnished with flaky salt on top of that. As you might guess, the dish was far too salty. However, I really enjoyed the warm focaccia and whipped ricotta nduja. For my entrée, I ordered the lobster risotto. As stunning as this dish looked, the taste did not match up. The risotto was painfully undercooked and unseasoned. The saving grace of this dish was the lobster, which was cooked and seasoned well. Would I order this again? Probably not. However, I would gladly stop by again for drinks and appetizers.

This was my second time at this restaurant, and this time we sat outside--which was super cute and had a great vibe. I'd definitely recommend it for oysters and small plates--the oysters especially were delicious. The appetizers are solid, but the entrées were just okay, nothing particularly memorable. Overall, it's a great spot to grab drinks and share some light bites with friends

Great experience here. Lovely indoor and outdoor dining space. Came to celebrate a birthday and service was amazing. Glasses of champagne for the table and limoncello were great additions to our dining experience on the house. My cocktail of choice was an espresso martini to kick off the late afternoon. We enjoyed delicious burrata with pesto & zucchini, scallops, and focaccia bread to dip everything in. Everyone got something different as far as main entrees but I throughly enjoyed the lobster risotto. Munched on a bit of dessert as well. Overall, an awesome dining experience and I can't wait to come back.

Stopped in for tartare and cocktails! Katrina at the bar was so helpful and attentive. She answered all our questions about the cocktail menu and steered us in the right direction. We decided on the Shhh! Club above and it was delicious. The tartare was a fun approach with the cured egg yolk butter. Truly rich and decadent. I typically like a crispy vessel for eating my tartare such as a chip or cracker but the bread this was served with was much warmer and cozier! The ambiance here is lovely- feels like I'm back in Italy. Very well done and a nice addition to the dining scene on upper king.

We were very excited to try this place. The decor of this old building is beautiful. Every design was breathtaking. I went with a group of four and we came hungry. We ordered drinks first I got the Ashes to Ashes and it was delish. Our waiter was nice and the manager even gave me a tour of the property. Our favorite was the beef tartar, crudo, and lobster tartin. Our focaccia wasn't warm. We also got the king crab, oysters, foie grass, scallop risotto, and tortellini. A great vibe for drinks, photo ops, and light bites.

Legami is a new restaurant on king street. It is very spacious and very well decorated. The drink I had was very delicious! The food was my least favorite thing about this place, unfortunately. The crudo was drowned out by the sauce and the risotto was hard. The servers were kind and knowledgeable. Overall, I think legami is still figuring some things out, but will definitely be a contender in the future for a great place to eat.

POV: You just found your new favorite Italian spot in Charleston I had the most incredible meal at @legamicharleston --everything was chef's kiss. Here's what we ordered: Filet Mignon Alla Wellington - flaky, buttery, and cooked to perfection Roasted Chicken Cacciatora - rich, comforting, and packed with flavor Georges Bank Scallops - perfectly seared with a dreamy roasted corn sauce Focaccia Rosemarino - fresh, fluffy, and straight-up addicting Legami did not miss! Located right on King Street, this spot has multiple dining areas, each with its own vibe--whether you're feeling cozy and intimate or lively and social. Plus, the staff is beyond amazing, making the whole experience exceptional! SAVE this place for your next dinner out

Enjoyed a beautiful and cozy dinner with friends on this gorgeous covered patio upstairs at Legami. Loved the ambiance here and the service and food were excellent too. Our server was friendly and attentive! Our server suggested some great choices for us and we all enjoyed our meals. The burrata was an excellent starter to share and the Ravioli was delish and filling. I can't wait to come back here!

Recently we dined here and thoroughly enjoyed the contemporary and elegant ambiance. We sat outside on the private side patio. The service was great. Our waiter was actually born in Romania and he was very attentive and welcoming. Considering the relatively high prices and scrumptious sounding descriptions on the menu, we unfortunately found the food just so so. Everything from the appetizers to the desserts just lacked that next level quality we were hoping for. If we return, it will simply be for some cocktails so we can sit and enjoy the stylish ambiance which was indeed magazine worthy.

Big expectations for this one since the chef has a Michelin star from his prior restaurant in Rome and the review is heavily influenced by the $600 price tag/bill. Welcoming and attentive staff who, after very minimal wait, sat us at the living room, upstairs - gorgeous setting with a lovely custom made banquet seat and stunning marble table that comfortably sat our group of six. The AC was cranked up so we were all quite cold - nothing a sweater couldn't solve. Our wine we brought was decanted and we picked a Pinot from the wine list to start- no warning it was a natural wine so that threw us all off a bit (yuck). We ordered the hamachi, the entire Piattini section of the menu (except the lobster, octopus, and squab), plus the cappelletti. Some dishes were tiny and by the end of the "first course" of 9 dishes, we were all still hungry and went on to order the mains; lamb, chicken, grouper and the tortellini. It was nice to not have to order everything at once.... A serious pet peeve, (albeit insensitive) from someone who's never worked in a kitchen a day in their life. The small plate highlights were the focaccia, the potatoes, and the beet salad. The fois gras wasnt great, the polenta were arguably croutons they were so tiny and the hamachi crudo was unappealing altogether. It was delivered slightly warm and there was an effervescent sauce that completely put me off. The dish was left half full. Entrees were good- grouper was luke warm and the lamb was a bit skinny. Chicken moist and the tortellini was unexpected. Flavors were very well developed and plating was phenomenal. The plates and bowls selected for each dish were super pleasing and really unique. Dessert were choux buns for the birthday girl- delicious lemony cream and a delicate sugared presentation. Yum! Overall, it's a 4 star because of the portion sizes for the cost and the level of attentiveness for this level of dining (deeper familiarity with the wine list or pull in a somm, clean plates and utensils between courses). Flavors are great- some kinks to work out before we return. Side note: the bar upstairs is gorgeous and we enjoyed a drink after on the long settee. Bathrooms were both upstairs and down- really cute and very clean.

Our first visit to Legami for a pre Symphony bite. Our seat at a two top table was so close to the other tables our elbows almost touched. We couldn't help but hear all of our neighbors conversation. The food was disappointing to say the least. The salad appetizer was blah and the two entrees we ordered (lobster risotto and oxtail ragu) lacked taste. The service was adequate. We will not be returning.

This space is truly beautiful. The outdoor area is dreamy and well covered for significant shade in the Charleston heat and they have an indoor/outdoor bar. We got a variety of cocktails and enjoyed each one. For food we got both salads, the crispy polenta and the tortellini. Everything was beautifully plated but the portion size was very, very small for the price point. The salads were our two favorite bites but ultimately were $17 for smaller salads without a protein. The majority of cocktails are $18 which is more on par for a rooftop than just a pretty space off King. The polenta and tortellini both were okay. The tortellini sounded phenomenal on paper but it ate very dry and heavy with the puff pastry around it. I think the flavors are there but the dish will ultimately be reworked. And again, a very small portion for $31. I do think there are some kinks being worked out which is to be expected with any new space. I really wish the best for this space because there is so much potential.

Zach was our server! He was fantastic. Super friendly and attentive. We were there on a girls trip and celebrating a friends bday. The servers brought out a dessert and a card for her, which was really sweet! The burrata and focaccia with ricotta were amazing starters!! We also loved the Pomodoro sauce with our pasta. It was a really cute vibe inside. We highly recommend!

Wasn't sure what to expect going into it but we were very pleasantly surprised! It's a beautiful restaurant and everything we had was delicious. We started with their caviar service, the Italian White Sturgeon - it is buttery and very good. We also started with the Beef Tartare and Braised Octopus. For entrees, we got the Pappardelle Al Ragu and the Lobster Risotto. Normally when you think of Italian you think huge portions, but these are not they give you enough food without you feeling over stuffed. We ended with their gelato, which was Pineapple and something else I can't remember - it was arguably the best gelato I've ever had. I couldn't stop eating it! Will definitely be going back.

They have inside & outside seating; and lighting is low for dinner. The crudo of the day is easily shareable with great flavor and the pieces of fish are cut thick. The filet mignon is a big chunk and could also be shared as well- it's an interesting take on a Wellington. The raspberry tiramisu was the dessert I picked to finish my meal. I felt like other than the raspberry sauce on top- the raspberry flavor didn't come through as strong and I was mostly eating cream. The mascarpone cream is thick and I feel like if that had raspberry flavor mixed in with the cream the raspberry flavor would come across better. Service was good, waiter was attentive.

Hey guys... I'm so excited to have been able to go to this restaurant the second week if it's opening... Immediately upon walking in we were greeted smiles and warmth. We had a reservation for two at 545 and we had an option of where we'd like to sit, which was pretty awesome we chose the enclosed upstairs deck. It is temperature controlled... So got the chance to basically walk through the whole restaurant on the way, very impressed with the aesthetic and decor, literally not one expense was spared here. And it shows...Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I also like that there is bathrooms on the main level and the second level. They definitely utilize the space beautifully and you could tell that things were running very efficiently even the second week. There is a large main bar on the first level. There is a smaller bar on the second level, but I think that's great that they utilize that space there's small seats for people to just have drinks while they're waiting for their table, there's bar seating where you can dine and have drinks... There is tons of dining room space both downstairs and upstairs. Now to the food... Food was amazing. I really can't complain much about it. I did give it a 9 out of 10 foodwise though because I did notice that some things maybe were a little over salted but I also think that these are just the kinks that will be worked out in time. I do feel like our courses were rushed. We had four different courses, but I also understand that they were definitely running on a schedule because they have reservations to satisfy so they don't want people going too slowly especially us just being a two top. I would guess they gave us an hour and a half dining time. Other than that I wanna go back and I wanna get all different things and I was thoroughly impressed. I Highly recommend if you're in the area to check it out highly recommend if you live here to check it out and you will see why this is a great new addition to our downtown dining experience...

I would give this restaurant a 3.5/5. Their dishes are unique and something new. Perfect for some apps and drinks. It is on the pricier side so I expected everything to be perfect. My favorite things we had was focaccia with njuda and ricotta spread, and the cappalletti pasta. I think the pasta portion could have been a little larger for the price. The raspberry tiramisu felt like it was missing something. The fresh raspberries were delicious but I think would be better with a raspberry coffee soak. The seafood dishes to me were a little overpowered by a more fishy taste. Everything came out warm and the service was great. With A lot of Italian restaurants to compete with in downtown charleston, if this place really hones in on their dishes it could definitely be an amazing spot. It is a very cute restaurant with some great ideas!

Legami is great new restaurant. The cuisine is sophisticated Italian with local influences. They're 2 bars, each with their own vibe. Outdoor area looks great. We sat at the downstairs bar twice and Katrina was a great bartender and brand ambassador. Service was outstanding. All staff were very friendly.

Came for brunch and it was just ok. The Milanese was bland no flavor at all. The other pasta dishes were over salted. We really wanted to like this place but it needs improvement. Service was very slow too.

Service was fantastic! Was here for my birthday dinner and enjoyed every moment! Caviar service was delightful with the must have cured egg yolk butter. We loved buratta starter as well. Cozy atmosphere with a very cool lounge/bar upstairs that we checked out after.

We stopped by Legami and were absolutely blown away by the Legami martinis -- hands down the best dirty martinis we've ever had. The Calabrian chili-infused vodka added the perfect kick of spice, and the burrata-stuffed olives were next-level amazing. We also ordered the sidecar snack of marinated olives, and they were equally delicious. We went upstairs to the lounge, which turned out to be the perfect spot for a girls' night cocktail -- cozy, stylish, and relaxed. I'll 100% be coming back next time I'm in Charleston!

Incredible experience! AMAZING food and wonderful service. Went for a bachelorette party dinner and our whole group could not stop raving about this restaurant afterwards. Beautiful atmosphere as well. Highly recommend.

The atmosphere is great but the service is what makes Legami a real gem! Managers are constantly checking in and our waitress Via was knowledgeable, funny and so personable. The drinks and shared plates (burrata, beef tartare, octopus and hamachi) were all delicious and large portions to share. We had the ravioli and ragu and both were absolutely delicious. As someone who has frequented Rome often, the ragu was very Roman tasting and made me miss one of my favorite cities. Legami has a customer for life based on not only their food but their attention to detail and care.

My wife and I went to Legami last night, and had an outstanding meal! Our server Naomi did a great job of describing the various dishes, guiding us through the menu for each course. We started with the Focaccia Rosemarino with Whipped Ricotta Nduja, then shared the Ravioli and Bottoni as our first course. Both were delicious. For an entree, we loved the Filet Mignon Alla Wellington, which was cooked to a perfect medium rare inside a puffed pastry. For Dessert, we had the Torta Legami and Roasted Pineapple, both of which were fantastic. The only miss was the Espresso Thy Self. The regular Espresso Martini would have been a better choice. A main component of a meal , is great service, and Naomi exceeded all expectations. It made for an enjoyable evening. We will definitely be back!

Very disappointing meal on many different levels. Very over priced. Almost everything we ordered was bland. Burrata was solid, tasteless mozzarella. No stracciatella in middle and additions were tasteless as well. Focaccia also had no taste, no salt, no butter. Estiva salad was iceberg lettuce, not "mesclun greens." On waitress recommendation I ordered Octopus and Brasato. Again octopus and side sauces were completely tasteless. Brasato was ok. Wife had Pappardelle oxtail ragu. She liked it ok, but again I found it to be completely tasteless. Service was attentive in coming by the table, but forgetful. I was missing napkin and had to ask twice. Ditto glass of wine. Couple next to us had to eat an entire sharing salad without sharing plates!!!' This place is obviously aimed at tourists and the King Street crowd. Charleston is blessed with many great Italian restaurants now that are priced similarly or even cheaper with far far better food. Don't trust Post & Courier recommendations.

We enjoyed a great meal with friends outside. Decor is warm and cozy, service was friendly and timely and the food was yummy. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and time here.

This is our favorite place for dinner in Charleston. Their menu is made up of smaller portions, so you're able to try more food which is so fun! Their servers were all amazing, and the burrata-stuffed olive martini was to die for!

We attended on their first week of opening so this review should come with a grain of salt. Hopefully they've improved! The ambiance is absolutely a 10/10. I would recommend sitting at the bar upstairs or downstairs for a drink, but even their cocktail menu was not what I was looking for. Service was average, our serve seemed like she didn't want to be there. Was not excited to give us recommendations when she asked. The back servers were excellent at keeping our waters full though! Unfortunately the food was underwhelming. Their version of lasagna came out cold. I understand it's probably made earlier but at least have it hot! We noticed the table next to us send back 2 different dishes. Very instagrammable but not much substance sadly

Excellent place. Lots of energy and good music. There are two bars (downstairs and upstairs). Great food and wine selections.

This place is AMAZING!!! Literally every single dish we had was incredible. The service is top tier (Amelia is world-class, she took amazing care of us), the food is LIFE CHANGING, the ambience is incredible, I mean, not a single miss. This has been where I have been taking all my friends and family that I want to impress. We met the owners and all the managers and they are all such kind, caring people. We love this place and can't wait to come back again!! We had the Lobster tartin and Octopus for appetizers, Filet and Lamb for entrees (the filet wellington is insanely good) and Raspberry Tiramisu for dessert (still thinking about it haha)! Highly recommend any of these but everything was phenomenal!

Disappointed. I was excited to try Legami. I had a reservation for 4 and at the last minute had to change it to 2. I'm so glad that happened because I would've been embarrassed to bring guests. We were seated in a completely empty room that it seemed that most managers and servers used to hang out before getting busy. The bread was the highlight of the meal. Everything else just lacked something, mainly heat. All of our dishes were served tepid at best and quickly cooled to straight up cold. Our server didn't offer any suggestions and was reluctant to describe anything when asked. We were rushed to order which is odd because the place was empty. Because of the rush we were in and out in 80 minutes, not by choice. When the food was delivered to our table it was placed on the opposite side from where we were sitting. We had to move glassware and slide our food across the table. There were so many managers or supervisors walking around and no one said hello or asked about our experience. The restaurant is very pretty but the food and service are not up to expectations yet.

Came in for a sip and yap with a close friend and had the most delicious drinks and caviar service! Servers are very nice and friendly. The ambiance is very nice and chic. Definitely will be back!

I can't recommend this place enough. The FOOD is insane. The vibes are unmatched. The most wonderful service and most polite staff I've ever met. Sara the bartender upstairs was absolutely incredible a literal angel. Please take the time out of your evening to enjoy this atmosphere and special place. The most beautiful place on king!!!

Definitely one of my new favorites in Charleston! I had added a note with my reservation asking for a customized card for my Mom who I was taking to dinner, and they did not disappoint! The whole experience was great, the whole restaurant is stunning but especially upstairs and outside! Highly recommend the burrata as well!

I do not usually leave reviews but the experience, the food and the cocktails were amazing! Starting with the appetizer which was shrimp pounded and formed into noodles with a delicious creamy sauce topped with small caviar so very creative and so very good. We had a pasta dish next and was also very well prepared. And ended with the lamb rack perfectly cooked medium rare with a balsamic reduced sauce, a tapenade of olives, nuts and capers and deep fried baby artichokes. The best I have had! Service and the cocktails were also a nice touch as well.

Came on a Friday night for dinner and was not impressed. Everything we ordered was lacking flavor. The portions are veryyyy small especially for an italian restaurant. The beef tartare was good, the potatoes were bleh with whatever came with it had no flavor. The scallops were ok but only 3 came with it! For entree, we ordered the lobster risotto and agreed the dish had a very mild flavor. You do get a 5 oz lobster, but would not recommend. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was great but wouldn't come back as the portions are small and not flavorful especially for the $$$.

I hate to say it, but my experience left the impression of a beautiful restaurant, flashy menu where everything looks great, expensive, but the food just doesn't measure up. Shrimp and caviar appetizer lacked seasoning (imo) and was lukewarm, Burrata appetizer was yummy. Also ordered the lobster risotto- huge serving of lobster, but it was overcooked and just not that tasty. How do you serve lobster that isn't delicious? It's....lobster....i would rather have a smaller portion cooked properly. The risotto itself was again lukewarm which made it unappetizing unfortunately. Ravioli entree was ok. I would come here again only for an appetizer and a cocktail to sit at the bar in a beautiful space.

Food and service was excellent. Beautiful restaurant. Hostess was ehhh. I wouldn't call this an Italian restaurant. Names of dishes were in Italian but most dishes are not Italian.

Amazing dinner here. They have chefs from Italy hand creating every bit of they food served from scratch and you can taste the freshness. My friend and I had confeit potatoes as a starter then the ravioli and cappelletti for a main course. We tried The King's Smoke cocktail as well as dessert martini, which were both phenomenal! Our server, Keaton, helped make the experience so enjoyable by being so prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. Will be back!

Amazing food. Management quickly understood our group and provided amazing recommendations on drink, apps, and dinner/tappas. Wish we lived in the area!!
