The food was not good. I ordered Chicken Picatta. The chicken was very over cooked and the cream sauce was not good. Not sure what it was made with.

I walked to this place specifically because they had ravioli on the menu. When I got there, they were out of it and another dish.

Incredible Easter meal with family. Perfect environment, delicious meal and great service. Sicilian Sunday Gravy best Italian dish I’ve ever had. Wife had Sundried Tomato & Smoked Gouda Ravioli which rich, flavorful and had a kick of spice. Kids enjoyed the pasta and everyone left full! Must visit if in Charleston!Kid-friendliness: Brought 4 kids and they loved it!

Our experience was fantastic. Our server, Ella, was simply marvelous; knowledgeable, friendly and professional.The homemade pasta was so excellent. Exactly like Grandma's home made pasta and gravy!! Will be back for sure.

This restaurant felt touristy and not well managed. We arrived and were seated at a table by the staircase and in front of pipes - there were several open tables elsewhere. Candles were unlit on table and bar area. Staff spent a lot of time talking with each other and friends eating at nearby table. The food was average. I would not go back.
Lasagna was very good. Service was good. Ordered the fried mozzarella for an app and they were still frozen solid on the inside. I would rate the overall experience good, but not sure I would return.

Incredible culinary experience. Great service and staff. Environment and ambience best in Charleston. I got the Sunday Gravy and my wife got the Gouda Ravioli. Both delicious and highly recommend. Negroni & Italian Coke were both great! No room for dessert but it looked great too. 5 out of 5!

Went here to celebrate after proposing to my girlfriend. I'd let them know ahead of time and they'd added flowers to our table, as well as champagne waiting for us when we arrived. Staff was incredibly attentive, while also allowing us privacy to spend time together. Food was unbelievable. Premium experience for Italian cuisine in Charleston, highly recommend for a romantic night out.

Ordered the bruschetta for appetizer and it was really fresh. My main entre and drink were delicious too.

Disappointing for me. The eggplant was minimal (1 slice) but a ton of spaghetti and cheese. The sauce was spicy. The food came out too quick about the same time the bread came out.
At first glance, it looks like a nice place. However, everything was just not good at all. The water had a sour aftertaste that resembled bile. The server stated that the bar was "backed up" but no drinks were being made and ours took forever. Everything took a very long time. The martinis were served in cheap, cloudy, margarita glasses and tasted like they came from a can.The fried calamari was room temperature, flavorless, and the breading broke off just trying to serve it. The sauces did not go well with the calamari and it was chewy.The stuffed mushrooms were overpowered by sausage crumbles.The tortellini was also weirdly sour for some reason and had the texture of a microwaved frozen meal.The branzino was dried like it withered on the docks. It also had an uncharacteristically fishy taste.The servers mope around like characters from Joe vs the Volcano.Another underwhelming Charleston restaurant.

We have eaten here before and the food was not as good this time very disappointed! Branzino was bland and eggplant garnish cold. Club Soda was flat and coffee cold ! The veal piccata was not typical in that this was a cream sauce not lite no lemon etc . Our server was good but the food was not .

Not fresh, barely edible, and embarrassing for a food town like Charleston.

Our dinner was unfortunately disappointing. This place had been recommended by a family member who had eaten here years ago and loved it. We really liked the ambiance of the place but were disappointed with the quality of the food. The salads were not made with fresh lettuce and the croutons were definitely stale. The seafood pasta was ok but the ravioli dish was definitely not expected and extremely salty. Its as if they took a nice pasta dish (from the description) and completely covered it with a very heavy meat sauce. With that said, the service was definitely better than the food so I felt bad for our waiter.
Tortellini
Nice find while in Charleston. Went on a Sunday night. Good choices. Our service staff were friendly. Our server told us they don't usually have a regular bartender on staff for Sundays so she made our drinks. She did a great job! Food was very good.
