31 Best Italian Restaurants near Johns Island

“Good food, good service. Quite a few gluten free options which I was very happy about; they also have a rice pasta that can be substituted in most dishes. Tasty cocktails. Enjoyed the ambiance. Definitely plan to return.“

“First off I would like to say we enjoy the food at Tolli’s. We go here often. What I do not like is the nickel and dime charges for other things. When I order a drink and you charge me for the alcohol one price and another price for ice cubes is absolutely ridiculous. I would rather you tell me the drink is $12 than $10 snd $2 for ice. Because, I sure as he am not tipping my server 20% on ice when I could bring my own ice from home. Give me a price for the drink that includes everything. It looks like you are nickel and diming me for everything. The only person that suffers in this is the server. I am not going to tip on ice, tax and the service charge for using a credit card. It’s ridiculous!“

“JI has a message saying you can't place online orders and there not answering the phones . they keep a problem. it's a shame because the pizza is good. The business is just not being ran right.“

“When you go sit at the kitchen counter. Loved watching the cooks.“

“Great food; great service“

“Sandwiches were super delicious! Not gonna lie, I wish they had some mayo or something ? but other than that it was yummy! The sandwiches we got had a lot on them so definitely worth the $$ but I would love to try one of their more simple sandwiches!“

“Can't wait to visit! Looks amazing!“

“Phenomenal food and atmosphere. Get the “dessert bread” appetizer if you come. Had the grouper on special and it was incredible“

“The service, food and atmosphere are outstanding.“

“Amazing food & Customer service !!“

“We had Alfredo’s for an early supper today. It was amazing. The staff was super nice and accommodating for our group of 7. The homemade pasta was divine! What an Italian gem!“

“delicious meal with great service. everything was wonderful, from the bread to pasta to tiramisu. Dogu took good care of us.“

“Great food service and atmosphere!One of my favorites 🥰“

“This place is AMAZING!!! Literally every single dish we had was incredible. The service is top tier (Amelia is world-class, she took amazing care of us), the food is LIFE CHANGING, the ambience is incredible, I mean, not a single miss. The chef curated every dish perfectly with so much flavor!

This has been where I have been taking all my friends and family that I want to impress. We met the owners and all the managers and they are all such kind, caring people. We love this place and can’t wait to come back again!! We had the Lobster tartin and Octopus for appetizers, Filet and Lamb for entrees (the filet wellington is insanely good) and Raspberry Tiramisu for dessert (still thinking about it haha)! Highly recommend any of these but everything was phenomenal!“

“I can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! Although we didn’t have a reservation, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our large party and quickly arranged a lovely table for our group. When we asked for recommendations, our waiter suggested a family-style three-course meal, and we couldn’t be happier with his suggestion! Each course was beautifully presented, and simply delicious. From appetizers to desserts, every dish was crafted with care and creativity. It was a wonderful way to experience the menu and share in the joy of great food together. If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and dine here—you won’t regret it! Thank you for an amazing experience; I can’t wait to return!“

“Delicious and creative menu!“

“This place is small and so are the pizzas. However, I had one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Whatever magic happens inside the kitchen works very well. The place was packed with no signs of slowing down. Great atmosphere with even better food. Staff is also amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!“

“We love Costal Crust! Whether it’s for a date night or for lunch/dinner with our toddler. It’s perfect for both!“

“Highly recommend Pizza A Modo Mio!! The employees are all so friendly and caring. Garlic knots for only $3!!! And giant pizzas that don’t fit in a normal size pizza box. You have to go all out when there. Get the appetizer, get the huge pizza, and get the Italian ice that comes in so many flavors. The cotton candy flavor can’t be beat 😋“

“We booked the private room above Vincent Chico’s restaurant for our company meeting. It was an incredible experience. The staff was on top of it with service and communication. The food was also very good. Sometimes, when you have a family style meal, the dishes will not come out at the right temperature. All of our meals came out hot and ready to eat. I was very impressed by the flavor of the food. We had -salad -bruschetta -seared salmon -roasted chicken -seasonal pasta -roasted fingerling potatoes -sautéed spinach -cheesecake bites We also had our own bar upstairs so wine and cocktails were available. It was a great night, and everyone enjoyed themselves. I will definitely recommend and use the space again in the future.“

“Couldn’t have imagine a better place to celebrate my aunt and uncles anniversary. Best homemade Italian dishes and atmosphere we could ask for!“

“Came for an early dinner with some friends before a show and was not disappointed. Located in a little pocket sort of near Hampton Park, expect to spend a minute circling the block to find parking. Renzo is unassuming but light and bright in a corner spot with tables and booths and a normal bar. We were early enough for unexpected Happy Hour specials (on a Saturday) and took full advantage - meatballs and discount cocktails. Meatballs were soft and moist and flavorful with 4 per order. Miso were better than the Roman (strong sauce with almost raw garlic) but we liked both. Drinks were all solid, from Happy Hour on. Get the guava-lychee drink. The rest of the menu is split into pizzas and not pizzas and we picked a few from both. The Caesar and most other dishes are perfectly portioned for one or to share amongst a table of four. We ended up having the Caesar, two “not pizzas”, the two orders of meatballs, and two pizzas and it was perfect for our group at a great price. Some dishes were a split like/don’t like (lemony potatoes & desserts), but as a whole we didn’t have a bad bite. A great spot for a little less than a la fancy pizza & pasta dinner, Renzo delivers.

Parking: You’ll circle the block a few times to find street parking“

“We don’t live here, however we are here pretty often. We never miss eating from Baker’s Bar. Service was excellent, food is so good. The salad is my fave salad by far. We got the new pesto and supreme. Everything was excellent. Must try.“

“Just got an everything pizza, it’s probably the BEST pizza I’ve ever tasted!! The pizza was fast and fresh and amazing, what more can you ask for!! My new Charleston tradition will definitely be Suna’s pizza!! Thanks guys 😀“

“La Mejor Pizza Que Hemos Comido En SC ✨ 10/10 Excelente Servicio Al Cliente!“

“I am so upset that we’ve never ordered from here before!! It was the best pizza and pasta we’ve ever gotten in the Charleston area. I would even compare it to the food we got in Little Italy in NY. The pizza is superb with the best crust, sauce and mozzarella!! The spaghetti with marinara and the Lasagna were AMAZING as well. It’s our new go to for pizza and pasta!!“

“I have traveled to Charleston frequently over the past 5 years and this place is always on my list for my sons and I to dine at. Giovanni is very personable and always has remembered me and that is something you don’t get everywhere. I may live 1200 miles from this place but it sure feels like home when I go in for a slice. I highly recommend, not only for the pizza but for the sense of community that he adds. Unmatched. I always leave full and happy.“

“my first visit to this lil sandwich shop was awesome. I got the tuna salad hogie delish the pasta salad was made perfectly also delish I will definitely be coming back to this amazing lil sandwich shop. good food great service yum“

“Worth the wait! Get there on time for seating. Great flights and pizza offerings.“

“Visiting Charleston,SC, needed something filling . Found New York Pizza on East Bay Street. The young lady April who took my order over the phone was wonderful. She was most helpful in suggesting the amount and toppings. My mobility issues allowed me to go to the Lobby and receive my Pizza. Leo brought it to the desk, he was very nice, appreciative and caring. April and Leo are great employees to have, they accommodate others issues and make it happen. I am most grateful and thankful. My Pizza,Side Salad, Strawberry Lemonade mad the difference also. Thank you again and again April and Leo.“

“We ordered an Italian sub, a steak sub and a medium thin crust pizza with 4 toppings, from Ryan. Everything was fresh and tasted great ! Ryan really has it going on !!!“
