“So, my old man and I decided to treat ourselves to some Italian grub at this place, and let me tell you, it was off the charts! From the moment we stepped through the door, we knew we were in for a treat. The vibe was classy yet cozy, setting the perfect mood for a memorable night.Now, onto the good stuff – the food! Every dish we tried was like a party in our mouths. I'm talking next-level risotto with truffles that had us swooning, and ossobuco so tender it practically melted on the fork. And don't even get me started on the fresh-baked focaccia – we had to resist filling up on it before the mains even arrived!The service was top-notch too. The staff were super friendly and knew their stuff when it came to recommending wine pairings. We ended up trying a couple of their suggestions, and boy, were they spot on!Honestly, it's no surprise this joint has a solid five-star rating. I wouldn't be shocked if they bagged themselves a Michelin star soon – they're that good. So, if you're in the mood for a dining experience that's a cut above the rest, do yourself a favor and hit up this Italian spot. Trust me, you won't regret it.“

“Genuinely some of the best food I've had ever, I'm still dreaming about the beet and burrata salad, radiatore, and the chocolate cremeux dessert. Rarely are dishes so good I'm motivated enough to even try to recreate but days after the burrata salad I did just that (ofc it wasn't as good as the original). The chocolate cremeux was the dessert of my dreams: the perfect saltiness of the cookie with the creaminess of the marshmallow and chocolate was absolute heaven. I'm just sad I can't go back right away since we visited Charleston only briefly.“

“We were visiting Charleston for the day and we walked in for brunch. They were able to get us in right away. It was delicious. I have food allergies (gluten and dairy) and I was able to eat without any issues at all. I was with a vegetarian who was able to have food without any issues at all. It was so good that we came back for dinner. We got to sit at the chef’s table and it was so neat. We could see the pizzas being made and we both ate delicious pizza. They made a gluten free pizza crust without cheese, lamb sausage, basil, and asparagus. The food was delicious and safe. It was a clean restaurant with kind service from all.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options“

“Great food, great service, beautiful decor. Be prepared for an unusually loud interior due to hard surfaces everywhere. Marinated olives with orange zest and pizza were awesome. Probably need a loud atmosphere to turn tables because the pizza is so good and so many people order it, but just don’t expect a peaceful atmosphere. In a hurry and want great pizza in a place that looks super cool and feels lively and loud with incredibly friendly staff? Go for it! Sometimes that’s what you want to celebrate something and to keep things upbeat. We prefer to be able to have a conversation and relax, but it’s probably great for young people who are on dates and nervous because they don’t know how to have a conversation yet or people who like drinking at dinner and cackling and hollerin’ at each other.“

We sat upstairs in a tastefully decorated room where, even though all seats were filled, we could easily hear one another. Our server Eric was superb: knowledgeable of the menu and beverage menus, friendly, efficient and attentive without being intrusive. I apologize for not taking any photos of the delicious foods, so I will list them and recommend each of them: grilled Sardinian octopus, broccoli Caesar, zucchini Parmigiana, and for entrees: papardelle al coniglio, Sorelle spaghetti, and pillows of gold ricotta tortellini. For dessert: crosstata for two, budino di cioccolata, and 24k olive oil gelato sundae. Check their online menu for descriptions. In sum, I do not remember ever having had before such a delicious meal in a beautiful setting with impeccable service. Your wait for a reservation is worth it.“

“They have a huge menu. You can buy pizza fresh and by the slice. They also have salads, pastas, stromboli, calzones, and rolls. We got several things and they were all good. The only thing I was a little unsure about was the fact that the pizza by the slice was sitting out on the counter and they warmed it up before serving it. It seemed like it should have been under a warmer. I didn't know how long it was sitting out like that. They are open late. There's a small dining area, but it's more of a takeout place.“
