Volpe's offers an exceptional dining experience with lovely staff and great ambience. The food is on another level, with a steak that was so good, it prompted ordering a second main course, and a flounder that equally blew minds. It is a great value for upscale dining, with impact statements like "Vern’s but for Italian" and "theres no way we got all this for $69."
The tasting menu, though it could turn some off, is an easy pleaser due to its value, portions, and selections. Highlights include ceviche, fried risotto balls, a real Cesar salad, and a deconstructed spaghetti and meatballs. Mains like chicken scallopini and flounder are fantastic. Dessert is a decadent chocolate mousse.
All wine on the menu is the same price, encouraging trying new selections. The space is very loud, normal for tight Charleston spots, but it is a packed and active space. For $69 per person, plus booze and tip, Volpe's is an absolute steal in Charleston and a must-go. The wine selection is good and reasonable, with a suggestion for a cocktail menu to improve the experience. The food is terrific and delicious, with the family style fixed menu being especially enjoyed.
