Authentic Italian from a chef who's inspiration and devotion comes out in the amazing dishes that he creates. If there is a special, definitely try it because it means there was something special that Chef Davide saw in the ingredients that day. Fresh ingredients and traditional Italian style combine for an unforgettable meal. I've been going since moving to Charleston and will never stop. My 8 yo daughter already thinks it's going to be her first job to be back in the kitchen w the head Chef himself ?.The staff are trained and will treat you like family. Every bit of the meal is important and they will make sure you enjoy it all! And don't even think about leaving without trying the best tiramisu on the east coast....made fresh constantly because it does not last long!And if you're in the mood for authentic napolese pizza, check out his pizzaria just a couple shops down called Pizza Pazzo!

I noticed the manager talking to his staff very in appropriately, definitely not a place I would want to work at. Food is not the best, my server was nice but seemed not happy to work there . Vibes in this place are weird. If I could leave 0 stars I would.

It’s a neat place to eat looks upper class, but the food there couldn’t compare to the atmosphere, the lobster ravioli was bitter not much of flavor of how I expected, and if things couldn’t get worse my drink wasn’t even carbonated, should’ve just have asked for a water if I knew that’s what I would be receiving, and if you think all that sounds bad, on the way to the restroom right around the corner lurking is a RATTTTT, and at that point it was time to wrap it up and call it a day because I couldn’t tell if I was at a restaurant or pet smart, would definitely look into calling pest control or something if I were that place, but overall my experience there was horrible!

horrible service, bread was stale, there was a long wait, and when I was sat and the food was prepared the plates were dirty along with the silverware.

A cozy and wonderful experience. Food is authentic and always delicious.
Our first time there. I can't wait to go back. It's very nice inside, and the place was packed with people waiting. Make sure you have a reservation for the weekend. The food was very good.

My favorite Italian restaurant! Can’t wait to visit my college town again and take my partner. Not to mention the sweetest staff ever work here who have the best recommendations. I recommend their eggplant Parmesan, linguine and clams/fruit di mare, and Santa Cristina Malbec I believe it was?Vegetarian options: Eggplant Parmesan is the best I’ve ever had!

My third time here. Food was great and Jim was super professional. A little on the bland side, (don't skimp on garlic) but still tasty. The biggest disappointment was the olive oil at the table. How about some real EVOO from Sicily?
