18 Best Italian Restaurants near Ladson

“The food is delicious!! My husband ordered Chicken Alfredo and I ordered Stromboli for dinner. Our order was delivered in 25 minutes and was hot and fresh. We both got way more food than what we could eat and it was so delicious!! We will definitely be ordering from them again!!!“

“Not sure why this restaurant doesn't have a better review score other than maybe they are so busy offering a quality dining experience maybe they aren't actively begging for reviews like other establishments....refresshing really to not have reviews begged for. Restaurant has a cool, relaxed, yet elegant dining room, bar and outdoor patio. We loved the menu choices. I chose straight up spaghetti and meatballs. My husband chose Lasagne. We also had bread, Ceasars Salad and the most amazing strawberry cheese cake, on shortbread crust, with thin white chocolate coating and strawberry crumbs on top. Everything was just delicious. Pizzas came out and looked out of this world. Everything is made in house. They have a food manager checking food and handing to delivers. Servers have assistants to keep water filled, table clean. We felt pricing was fair for what we received. Will definately be back.“

“Coming from a NY pizza snob. I’ve lived in the Charleston area for the last 18 years and this is the closest I have felt to home. The food is fantastic and challenge anyone to say any other pizza pie is better. Throw in the amazing customer service from the staff and they are second to none. Will put them up against any pizza spot in the area. 5 stars all day! If you haven’t gone to taste their food….what are you waiting for???“

“Super tasty, great service and the atmosphere is absolutely to die for❤️. A perfect date night.“

“I’ve eaten in and have also ordered takeout. The food is always excellent and the service is very pleasant. I go as an individual customer quite often but today my daughter’s company, AHT, In North Charleston had their Christmas luncheon catered and everything was absolutely awesome and everyone that I know was well pleased with the food. It was mentioned but a manager that the restaurant staff was in the restaurant at 6:30 AM preparing the food all Homemade. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Always great pizza! Tonight they went above and beyond. We had a special request for a few “slices” to have no cheese due to dietary restrictions. Honestly wasn’t sure how that would work, but they made it happen on both pizzas. Thanks for the hand-written note to let us know. Awesome service!“

“I absolutely loved the vibe here. It felt like we were in another place visiting. The music is modern (ok, I’m 40…90s modern) and we loved the music they played. At one point Nirvana was playing and most around us were singing (us included) they changed it because they felt it didn’t fit the not as crowded vibe. We got a good laugh out of that. The service was impeccable. Timely service. Our server (part owner) Pauline was truly what you would want in an establishment. Fun, smiley, going above and beyond to make it a wonderful experience. The food…oh the food! It was so flipping good. Every flavor really came out in the pasta(Calabria, Parma Pizza, and heck, even the truffle fries. I’m excited to come again and try some different menu items. I would also like to add that the sparkling water was complimentary and that alone made me smile. Highly recommend! Will be back!“

“Lisa was our server. The food was exceptionally good. The service was excellent. My husband ordered the Chicken Parm dish and it was enough for 2 people. I had the Chicken Bolognese which was also enough for 2 people. It was delicious! Both dishes came with a small salad and a side of pasta. I had creamy Italian dressing on my salad and it was the best I have ever had. The icing on the cake for me was that the owner went to every table and spoke to the customers. Great food and service!“

“Absolutely enjoyed our dining experience at La Rustica. This family owned and operated establishment is more than five stars in my opinion. Our group enjoyed the lamb, pollo parm, risotto, and shrimp scampi. Everything was delicious. Prices were reasonable and affordable! And the staff was top notch! Highly recommend. 10 out of 10!“

“I've been to three of these locations and each one has great customer service. The atmosphere is very playful and inviting. Always very clean as well! I ordered the California turkey sandwich with a side of fries for $20. My first thought was that it's pricey, until I opened my box of fries and was pleasantly surprised by the amount I was given! They are served after being tossed in salt and pepper. My sandwich was very good and fresh, per usual. They have a nice area outside, set up with tables and chairs. Will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely love this place! Food is great and service is friendly and accommodating“

“Lots of flavor on each bite! from the pizza, to the spaghetti, to the cannolis.... Everything was excellent!“

“we had dinner at Italian Bistro tonight. I can't say enough about how polite, inviting, and attentive the staff is. The staff is a very nice complement to the wonderful food. The young staff was a breath of fresh air. the young staff showed attentiveness, teamwork and a very respectful attitude toward every customer and each other. Not only did we have a Wonderful dinner but it was a very nice experience.“

“Kayla S was 100/10! She was so patient, kind, sweet, and compassionate. The food recommendations by her were thoughtful — and the best part — delicious! I will be back, and I believe I found my favorite way of ordering a margarita pizza here (because it’s not on the menu). Thank you again, Kayla S.!“

“A wonderful dinner, for sure! We enjoyed all three specials: the eggplant fries, the short rib ravioli, and the lemon ricotta cheesecake. Live enjoyable guitar music was playing throughout dinner. Lighting is inviting and our server, Steven, was great! They are a hardworking family, running that restaurant, and I am so grateful for Jennifer Amici and her delicious creations!“

“Fast friendly service. Great dining experience.“
