Wonderful meal prior to our show! I had the clams with house made linguine and the pasta, buttery seasoned sauce was delish. My husband had a lamb meal and it was excellent. My daughter had a small plate as her meal and her girlfriend had a Cesar salad! Drinks were phenomenal and so was the service. Our waiter was very attentive and we even got a visit from the Maitre d! We will definitely be back.

The only thing better than the food (my God, the Lamb Ragu….) was the service from our waiter, Joe. Best waiter I’ve ever had. After dinner we shared our experience with the bartender (extremely friendly and accommodating), who told us that Joe has a level of charisma that in his experience (and mine for that matter) is pretty much unmatched. It certainly can’t be taught. And I couldn’t agree more! We will be back next time we visit Charleston to try some more dishes. Although everyone we crossed paths with was extremely friendly, we’ll be asking for Joe when we come back! Thank you to Le Farfalle’s staff for a wonderful night on our honeymoon.
This was definitely our favorite dinner spot while we were in Charleston. The Caesar salad was the best my husband and I have ever had. Our focaccia starter was fantastic and every one of our meals (even our picky eater’s spaghetti) was perfect. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful restaurant, ambience ane service. We sat in the bar area which was busy, but still felt intimate.
Was great but had an issue with my meal. Great vibe for a fancier dinner, great service and friendly staff. I am gluten free and ordered a dish that could not be made GF, but my waiter did not tell me that when I ordered it. When it arrived it was missing half of its ingredients. I got pasta which was a ravioli on the menu but it did not say that and did not say anything was stuffed. My waiter Griffin was accommodating and was able to understand this mistake.

Disappointing meal after all the reviews hyping up this spot. Service was "strange". Very slow and inconsistent but man do they keep your water filled. Seems like this is the most important objective. Highlight was the whipped Ricotta. Delicious. Everything else was inedible. Not an exaggeration. The Cacio e Pepe was so under cooked it was far from"aldente" and lacked any flavor. The Angel Hair pasta dish was bland, dry and lacked seasoning. The dessert was straight out of the fridge and hadn't thawed when served which is why it probably took 15 mins to make it to the table, but our water full at all times! Enjoyed 5 days in Charleston and this was meal was definitely at the bottom of our list. Maybe our experience was isolated given the many good reviews but I have my doubts.

Came to celebrate a 21st and it was amazing! Service from Kelly and Mayli was great, they were very attentive. Tried the chicken parm, and the squid ink pasta. Highly recommend both. The tiramisu was as amazing as well.
What a great day! Couldn't have had a better time with our group and the new friends we made at food/wine festival event. Can't wait to come back.

Food was excellent. However I ordered chicken parm and asked to substitute penne pasta for the spaghetti. I was told it would be an $18 up charge. When I spoke to the manager she told me it was a "pretty big portion " and she didn't set the prices the boss did. "The boss" wasn't available to talk to. An up charge like that and the fact the bartender needed a personality made it a 3 star visit and very overpriced. However the food was good.

Most of the food was great, specifically the focaccia! But the pasta was very bland. Echoing another review: tasted about the same (if not worse) as Olive Garden. One of the hostesses was super helpful and kind-- but the other hostess was so rude it that made us want to turn around before we were even seated. Luckily, we only had to see her one more time for the rest of the night (and she was even more rude the second time). Thankfully, our server made up for awful behavior and attitude we had to endure from the hostess. Our server was great!!

Ok, typically I do not spend tons of time reviewing restaurants unless I feel compelled to do so, tonight’s one of those nights.Entire evening felt rushed. Michael our service, however polite rushed our entire meal experience.Our salads ( wouldn’t split in kitchen ) came out before our cocktails. Yes, how annoying!He never bothered to asked if we wanted bread for our meal or wine, and we had to ask for both from our food runner, also annoying!Entrees came, my Rigatoni Verde was ok, nothing special. However my MIL loved her broccolini and beans. Dinner felt rushed, nothing special.I’d not go again… however funny note, Michael said we could ask for him, next time.
