Volpe's Reviews
I don’t do reviews often. I have been to many restaurants in Charleston. No offense to any of them. There is none better than Volpe. Flat out the best restaurant you will go to in Charleston.
We heard about this place and wanted to try it so we went there Thursday night. Had a 6 PM reservation for four people got seated immediately beautiful place out of the downtown traffic to Charleston easy parking. It’s a great experience family style. The recipe changes daily great selection of wine. . Only thing I suggested was that they would play Italian music instead of the the current top hits music that they were playing didn’t seem to suit the ambience, but...read full review

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.
