Trattoria Lucca

Most authentic Italian place in all of Charleston. Couldn’t believe they had Cacio E Pepe on the menu. OUTSTANDING! byob of wine for $40 was totally worth it. Salad 👌🏻. Too full for dessert. This place is off the beaten trail but excellent!

My husband and I used to live in Charleston and would come here for special occasions. We specifically made a detour on our way home to Richmond to eat here. In the four years we've been gone somehow this place is even more amazing than I remember. Everything from the appetizer to the dessert has been thought out in terms of optimal flavor. The wait staff is an added bonus in making the experience even better. My only complaint is that they aren't close to home now.

Simply one of the best meals ever! They even made a Caeser Salad better than anywhere else! Johnathan was great! Will be be back for family style soon.

We were lucky walk ins and got a seat at the bar. The wines are great (Barolo, barbera etc) and the good is high quality! We had the beef carpaccio, the cacio e pepe (which was divine and so true to how amazing that dish is supposed to be) and the pork dish (slightly crusty pan fried, yummy). Best Italian in town!

Very cozy restaurant, great food, great wine list and extremely friendly service. Dont miss this place if you're in Charleston, S.C.

What an amazing atmosphere! We had several salads and appetizers and none disapointed. Our table of 7 was handled easily by the efficient wait staff. Because we had a large table, we were able to sample each entree and they did not leave us anything but longing for more. The dessert selections were quite the treat to end the evening. Overall, an amazing experience and one we won't soon forget.

Phenomenal experience. Delicious wholesome food, we had an excellent waiter, and the chef accommodated for an allergy in our party which was something we weren't expecting but were very pleased with. I have nothing but praise to say about the food. There's no sense explaining. Just try it. You will like it.

Family night so we didn't get to choose what we order but it was still full price as if we got four ideal orders. The appetizer was excellent, then the pasta tasted like it was from a box and shells are a cop out for a nice Italian place. Squid is a bold choice to send to every table, we hated it. Pesto was bland. Flank steak was good with mashed potatoes but, no one is going to this place for flank steak and mashed potatoes. Then we had pudding. It was rich. I'll give it one more shot after I save up for a few months. I feel like our family was served about $160 in food value and presentation and were charged $220 for four of us.
