Ristorante Abruzzi offers a warm atmosphere and efficient service, making it a great choice for both business dinners and casual meals. The menu features a variety of Italian dishes, with popular options like Steelhead Trout over Gnocchi in a tomato reduction and the rich Short-Rib Ravioli. Guests can enjoy outdoor seating with views of the nearby ballpark, adding to the enjoyable experience. The restaurant also offers a good selection of wines, including locally made bread that complements the meals.
Recent reviews praise the fantastic dining experiences at Abruzzi, highlighting the amazing food and 5-star service, especially when seated outside in the warm breeze. The Ricotta Toast appetizer, served on Charleston Bakery sourdough, is considered incredible. The antipasto appetizer, with sliced meats, cheese, pickled veggies, grapes, jam, crackers, and bread, was well-liked, though some suggested it could be improved.
Among the salads, the Prosciutto and Burrata Salad received praise, though some felt it needed more dressing. The entrees, including chicken parm, Cod Linguine Alla Limone, lobster ravioli, frutti de mare risotto, mushroom campanelle, and spring carbonara, impressed diners. The frutti de mare risotto was especially appreciated for its delicious scallops, often compared favorably to those from coastal areas. Guests also appreciated the homemade pasta, noting its divine texture and flavor, as well as the blackened salmon Alfredo with homemade fettuccine noodles and fresh ingredients. Dessert options like Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake and chocolate bread pudding with vanilla ice cream received high praise.
The restaurant’s industrial motif is complemented by its location within the local baseball park for the Dirty Birds, making it convenient for visitors. The staff is highly accommodating, and the chef has been nominated for the James Beard Award, reflecting the quality of cuisine. The large dining room and patio are perfect for any size party, including fundraisers. Located right off the interstate, Charleston Area Medical Center is nearby, and parking is easier when the team is out of town. Overall, Ristorante Abruzzi is a standout among local Italian restaurants, consistently delivering delightful meals.
