Italian eatery with pasta, pizza, seafood & swanky ambiance

























"Housed in an extensively renovated circa-1800 former bank, the space spares no expense with brass, marble, and custom details; daytime crowds of business patrons and tourists give way to a refined dinner service. Dishes range from cheese-filled puffs with prosciutto and caviar to tender pastas (Ricotta Tortelloni nicknamed “pillows of gold”), a standout Rucola E Finocchio salad, and Grouper Alla Puttanesca—refined, modern, and warm." - Stephanie Burt

"Caviar for breakfast? Italian restaurant Sorelle can make that happen. The swanky Broad Street spot launched brunch service with selections ranging from stone fruit caprese to carbonara pizza to mortadella panino. For real indulgence, pair the caviar service with lobster Benedict and a round of champagne." - Erin Perkins


"An Italian late-night afterparty from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. featuring wood-fired and Sicilian-style pizzas, shareable antipasti, gelato, and truffle martinis." - Erin Perkins

"Charleston-based Beemok Hospitality Collection and chef Michael Mina’s Mina Group opened the gorgeous Italian restaurant Sorelle in 2023, and it’s since been a go-to for swanky dates and luxurious meals. Serving brunch and dinner, Sorelle excels in southern Italian cooking, which means grilled octopus, picatta-style swordfish, and mafaldine with barolo-braised beef cheeks." - Erin Perkins


"A fancy Italian restaurant that now offers late-night, wood-fired pizzas on Fridays after 9 p.m., prepared by chef Nick Dugan and priced at about $20. Recent gourmet pies have included a duck-and-truffle option and a crab-and-fennel version; these creations are available exclusively in the downstairs bar room." - Erin Perkins
