    La Farfalle is the perfect spot for a date night! The space is cute, moody, and intimate, and the service is super quick and welcoming. Definitely book ahead--this place fills up fast. We started with a cucumber lemon mocktail and an Old Fashioned--both were refreshing and hit the spot. For dinner, we shared the chicken parm and spaghetti pomodoro. The chicken parm was thin, crispy, cheesy, and baked to perfection, while the spaghetti was perfectly al dente with just a kick of chili to make it pop. Both dishes were great for sharing between two people, and everything felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared. If you're looking for a cozy Italian spot with solid classics, this is a must-try on King Street!

    Excellent service from start to finish. The ambiance was warm, inviting, and perfect for a great dining experience. The house-made pasta was absolutely incredible fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. And the steak? Easily the #1 highlight of the meal. Everything was outstanding, and I can't wait to come back!

    Jamison is absolutely amazing!

    Le Farfalle may officially be one of my favorite dining experiences in Charleston. Every detail felt thoughtful, elevated, and genuinely welcoming. The Vertical Railroad cocktail was exceptional and perfectly balanced. The Bucatini pasta was absolutely outstanding, but the whipped ricotta deserves its own standing ovation. I would go back for that alone. It was one of the best things I have eaten in a very long time. A huge shoutout to Alex, who is truly the best bartender in Charleston. She is knowledgeable, engaging, warm, and effortlessly creates the kind of hospitality experience that makes a restaurant unforgettable. Alison was also fantastic and added so much energy and charm to the evening. Highly recommend eating at the bar. The service, conversation, cocktails, and overall atmosphere made the entire experience feel special from beginning to end. Five stars all around.

    Chicken Parmigiana with spaghetti

    Was in Charleston for a bachelorette party and Le Farfalle was able to accommodate our large group of 11 for an 8pm dinner. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. We got 3 different appetizers, the Caesar Salad, fried calamari, and the rosemary focaccia bread (focaccia is a must try, it was so good!) Can't fully speak for all the entrees but my Local Catch was very tasty although not super filling. Everyone else also enjoyed their meals, a few of which are pictured below!

    Unfortunately, if you're looking for the best Italian in Charleston, this isn't it. Everything was hit or miss the whipped ricotta and baguette was good. The artichoke tasted like it had jarred Alfredo on it. The chicken Parmesan was bland and dry, the $70 lamb chop was overcooked and drenched in sauce. The cocktails were good and the server was amazing just not worth the price you're paying. I wish I had a better review to offer.

    A very nice Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Charleston. The food was great! We were able to try the Fusilli Lungh, Agnolotti, Lamb Chop Scottadito, and Crispy Potato Vinaigrette. Our bartender was great and very welcoming, he offered some great suggestions on options to try that were spot on. We did have a delay in the arrival between plates coming, but we still enjoyed ourselves and time being there. I would suggest visiting for a good date night and definitely have some desert!

    Incredible experience here. We accidentally showed up a day before our reservation (whoops) but were able to sit at the bar and receive the same service. The bartender (I believe her name was Alex) was super friendly and helpful, and our food came out extremely quickly. Their gluten-free alternatives were also great- the pasta wasn't falling apart like normal GF pasta, and I was able to swap veggies for the baguette so I could still enjoy the whipped ricotta. I would certainly return here!

    We had a great time here! The service was great, and everyone loved their food! If you are feeling a steak, GET THE STEAK. Everyone at our table got something different and we all collectively agreed the steak was the best. It was surprising just how good it was given this is an Italian place. It's now my second fav steak in Charleston.

    Chicken Scallopini Marsala

    The garden, interior were beautiful and the staff member (Kellie F) was wonderful. Next time, I'll order something else or stick to appetizers and a cocktail in the garden. I'd give a 1 but the staff was extremely kind and the space is lovely. The driving factor for the review was the food and cutlery. I was so excited to order chicken Marsala scallopini and pasta after it was overdue (5yrs) since last visit. I ordered chicken Marsala and it looked pretty but sadly it smelled and tasted flavorless. Flavorless chicken Marsala and pasta is not worth $45 and more like $15. The temperature of the food was off. It was slightly higher than lukewarm, which makes me think it had been sitting. Maybe adding parsley and salt would give it a better taste. It was quite bland. I'm not a huge salt fan but could tell it was under seasoned. The knife provided was very dull and very difficult to cut the chicken. Usually if done right you can cut with a fork and absolutely cut easily if with a knife. Next, no spoon was given despite serving a long pasta noodle. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to twirling your pasta with a spoon for consumption.

    Came here for my hubby and I's 6th year anniversary dinner and it was delicious. We arrived a little early so we hit the bar for a drink beforehand. I really loved the Amaretto Sour. It kinda reminded me of a sweet and sour sno cone. When we were finally seated, we ordered the meatballs and focaccia for our appetizers. The meatballs were a little strange with the currants but the meat and sauce were both tasty. The focaccia bread was very tasty and we liked the different dipping sauces. The fusilli was super delicious with the cacio e Pepe sauce. My hubby got the chicken parm and it was a large portion and super juicy! We will def be back!

    My fiancé and I have been trying to check Le Farfalle out for a while and were very excited when we got a Resy notification saying they had a table for two that became available. The ambiance of the restaurant is very cozy and welcoming. They have an outdoor patio that was super cute and also a nice bar area for some casual dining. We started the night off with the Caesar Salad and the warm rosemary focaccia bread that comes with three dipping options. Both were tasty and I loved the tomato sugo dipping option for the bread. We then ordered two dirty talk martinsi which were amazing! The black pepper vodka added a great touch to the drink and the ricotta stuffed olives were amazing! I had the Rigatoni Verde as my entree and he ordered the Mezze Maniche. You could taste the freshness on the Ragu bolognese. His plate sort of tasted like mine? So I couldn't really tell what the difference was. Over all, both were tasty and we left feeling full and happy that we finally got to check this place out! Definitely worth a trip if you're in town or live here!

    Squid Ink Spaghetti
    Minna M.

    We had reservations on a Monday night. We were seated fairly quickly. This Italian restaurant is located in downtown Charleston. It delivered a delicious meal in a cozy atmosphere. The squid ink spaghetti was a standout--perfectly cooked with deep, savory flavors. We shared the artichokes and Caesar salad to start; both were fresh and satisfying, though nothing mind-blowing. Our server, Joe, was very attentive and the vibe was relaxed but lively. Overall, a solid spot for Italian food. I enjoyed the meal and would recommend it to anyone looking for good Italian food.

    Appetizer were good and my pasta was delicious, the fish was perfect and unfortunately the Veal was tough and was not my favorite.Some of the server had an attitude problem.

There's a comprehensive cocktail menu and the French 75ish and the tiramisu martini were both delicious ($18 each). The prices are super comparable with other bars downtown. They have a full bar if you'd like a standard cocktail or any other creation I'm sure they could make it. Our server was great and very attentive. The kitchen stopped serving food at 10pm which I wish we had been told when we came in because I tried to order fries at 10:04 and was told I couldn't. Which I understand I just wish I had known. The place is pretty small and dark and very quiet so the perfect place for a calm nightcap.
