Artisanal Italian dishes, house-made pasta, and robust wine list
"Just past the River Road intersection on Johns Island, Wild Olive keeps regulars returning with seasonal tweaks and reliably crowd-pleasing dishes: tender agnolotti, charred octopus, farm-fresh vegetables from long-standing purveyors, and classics like veal scallopini with marsala. If you see mushroom-parmesan bisque on the menu, order it—it's frequently called out as a must-try." - Stephanie Burt
"A neighborhood dinner spot recommended as a comfortable option for a sit-down evening meal." - Erin Perkins
"Recommended as a dinner destination across from a lively bar scene — suggested as an option for a more substantial evening meal after drinks." - Erin Perkins
"Make the short drive off the peninsula to Johns Island for authentic Italian cuisine using local ingredients. Look for handmade ravioli, pappardelle, and lasagna with added flare from a venison, elk, and ribeye combination. Customers can get the best of both worlds by adding a $7 side of gnocchi to any meat or seafood entree." - Erin Perkins
"Wild Olive on neighboring Johns Island is a local favorite because of the warmth and passion of the staff and relationships they have built with the local community. The majority of their ingredients are sourced locally, which creates the perfect pairing of traditional Italian cuisine with fresh Lowcountry resources. This is not only a great place for a meal with friends but a popular date-night location." - Travel + Leisure Editors
