Duck
Al N.

Went there the other night with my girlfriend and had a great experience. We sat at the upstairs bar area which I would highly recommend. It felt lively but still intimate and was a great spot to settle in for the night. Food was excellent across the board. The scallop crudo was a standout and the duck was unreal. Honestly might be one of the best duck dishes I have ever had. Service was incredible without being over the top and the ambiance was spot on. Everything just clicked. Definitely a place I would go back to and recommend to friends.

Dirty martini w side car

Legami: delvers ambiance just as good as their pasta! Love ordering their dirty martini w the side car (aka coupe of olives) to start off the evening. Our server was incredible - friendly, attentive, and let us know the HH special for our next visit. $1 oysters and $15 plate of pasta! Such a spot for girl dinner, group dinner, date night, etc. we love the patio, but upstairs is great as well!

First night we went we sat at the bar, had perfect cocktails best Negroni s ever. Bartender, Rogan was amazing. We shared ravioli, also fantastic, again some of the best. We had reservations for the next evening . We were seated and the restaurant is beautiful, it truly is. Our food was phenomenal.. pan seared perfectly over a corn purée. The lobster pasta was delicious. We also shared a burrata appetizer which was fantastic. The dessert, a puff pastry with chocolate was underwhelming. Our server, Naomi was super friendly and very celebratory with a birthday (there was a sweet card and she brought bubbles and limoncello with dessert. I am giving 4 stars not 5 because it seems there was a little misstep in the flow of everything, the timing of entrees, having to send a drink back.. just a few little things. Maybe they had a few people off that night. The food was incredible and we will be back!

Oh my goodness, this place was so good! I had the Roasted Chicken Agrodolce which was served over this sweet carrot crema. It was melt in your mouth good! My fiancé had the Pappardelle Al Ragu, he said the handmade noodles and sauce were to die for. We also enjoyed the Misticanza salad, but I thought the balsamic was a bit strong and the spiced honey ricotta packed a sweet heat punch to the Focaccia. I dont know if I would add on the ricotta again, I think focaccia is delicious on its own. We sat upstairs for dinner and it was a very romantic setting, but it was a bit loud in the room since there was a large table next to us, coupled with wood flooring. At times, I had to repeat myself to my partner across the table. However, I will say the service was great, our food came quickly and our server was knowledgeable on the food and changes they've made to the menu. I would definitely recommend this place to family + friends.

Legami is an incredibly cute spot. The vibe and decor is 10/10. I love the different indoor and outdoor space they offer. Came here with some girlfriends and sampled a good amount of food which was all yummy. Random but the chicken was amazing. Not something I typically order but soooo good. The drinks were okay probably would just stick to food next time. One thing to note is I ordered the hamachi crudo and was served tuna. Then was informed that they do this when they run out of yellowtail. Didn't appreciate this.

My fiancé and I were visiting Charleston and saw incredible reviews for Legami and were super excited to try it out! Atmosphere: the restaurant is super cute - great vibes! Very trendy and it was busy the entire time! Our waitress was awesome and super fun. Appetizer: we ended up getting the burrata appetizer and it was unreal. 10/10 would get again Main course: I ordered the ravioli and it wasn't anything spectacular, especially not for the price. I was expecting a super "wow" sauce and it sorta tasted like tomato paste. It wasn't bad by any means, I just think I expected more. They also ran out of lobster after we had ordered so my fiancé had to switch his meal.. but he ended up loving his food (I forget what he even got... oops) Overall, it was a nice place. But the ravioli was subpar compared to the rest of the meal and experience.

Such a great restaurant for dinner. We started out with burrata that came with unlimited focaccia. It was perfection. The pesto was super fresh. For our entrees we had the risotto al brasato and tagliolini lobster. The risotto was insane! So so good. The lobster was also very good, super tender. For dessert we had the creme brulee with vanilla ice cream. It wasn't anything worth raving about but everything else was perfection. The service was great and nice ambience.

Beautiful plates

Legami is new to Charleston, so we had to give it a try. I love that they have a GF pasta option and their braised oxtail ragu was fantastic as a GF option. Their dirty martini needs some work. It was cloudy, or too dirty. We started with the burrata, which was good but not the usual burrata consistency. It was more like mozzarella. The octopus app was on the smaller size Justin called it "super skimpy". We did love the atmosphere and had a great server! Overall a fun experience with friends.

I can't believe Legami wasn't on my radar until recently! We had an incredible dinner with outstanding drinks. The Legami Martini truly made its mark with the burrata-stuffed olives. We tried the oysters, which were uniquely paired with pickled onions. The added crunch gave them an unexpected texture that actually worked surprisingly well together. The Shrimp Kataifi was another favorite. I had never had anything like it before, but I do wish the portion included more than three shrimp for the price. This was the best Gnocchi dish I've ever had. It was both creamy and flavorful. If Gnocchi isn't your style, I highly recommend the Pappardelle Al Ragu. Overall, it was a great dinner with exceptional service and beautiful presentation.

Indoor/Outdoor vibes

We have been wanting to try Legami for a while now, we had heard so many good things and they did not disappoint. From the moment you walk in, everything looked amazing! They have 4 or more different experiences to eat in that can transport you straight to Italy! We sat upstairs in an indoor/outdoor area and the lighting was perfect! We got to really experience the menu with delicious cocktails and N.A. beverages along with their apps and pastas, everything was so delicious and I really recommend to order various dishes so you can share! The dessert was so light and airy and then to finish it off with a lemon cello was perfect! The service was also super on it and made sure we were good throughout the meal, I cannot recommend Legami enough for an awesome dinner or celebration, Ciao!

Came here for dinner and this establishment is quite new for the King Street area and I love the ambience of this place. Very inviting and chic! Our server was attentive and checked on our table often. For the food part, we started with the piattini, I really enjoyed the beef tartare but we also ordered the burrata and crispy polenta. For the piatti / main course I really enjoyed and truly recommend the fillet mignon alla Wellington and the king crab . The cocktails options were pretty scrumptious as well. I say yay for Legami! Go check them out!

an absolute pleasure eating here. i came here for my birthday and i was treated like a princess. i got a complimentary dessert (crème brûlée), champagne, and lemon shots. i also got a card with all of the workers names on it saying happy birthday, which was so sweet. Naomi was our server and she killed it. talked about the drink and food menu like she was promoting it, gave great recommendations. the drinks were so good and the food was even better. the ambiance was wonderful. absolutely no complaints. perfect place for your birthday.

We had reservations for a Sunday night, and our server Joe was quick to greet us after we arrived. He delivered friendly service all night, which began with a thorough knowledge of the menu. We had starters of rosemary focaccia and braised artichokes. The focaccia is a must order, it's so soft and delicious. It's served with 3 sides of olive oil, marinara, and my favorite whipped ricotta. The braised artichokes, was a pass for me. No flavor, too soft a texture. Their entree menu has a nice variety of house made pastas. We chose fusilli lunghi, and rigatoni bolognese. Both were delicious flavorful entrees, with the pastas served perfectly al dente. The rigatoni was made with spinach, and the meat sauce was meaty and with a balanced tomato sauce. We ended our dinner, with carrot cake and chocolate cake. Yum! The chocolate cake was amazing, it was moist, velvety, and rich in chocolate flavor. A round of espresso martinis helped top off our dinner, and we ended the night with a rich appreciation of this experience.

My husband and I are big fans of early dinner lol. When we got there before 5pm it was pretty empty so we got sat right away. The main reason we tried this place is because I have a recently discovered that I have a soybean oil allergy and this restaurant is seed free. When we got sat, they brought over bread right away which was really delicious. I got a glass of Pinot grigio for a drink, and by the way the wine pour is very generous. We ordered mozzerella sticks for an app, for an entree I got the rigatoni with vodka sauce (the none spicy version make sure to ask for that if you don't like spicy things) with burrata. I also asked for crispy breaded chicken on top which wasn't on the menu but they added it no problem. My husband got the carbonara. The mozzerella sticks were decent maybe a 3/5...I wish they had a bit more salt. The batter tasted kind of bland. But it was crispy and cheesy. The rigatoni was amazing though, the pasta was cooked perfect not too al dente. The burata made everything creamy, they put a large piece of crispy chicken on it as well which was delicious. I would definitely order it again. My husband loved his carbonara. We are as much as we could and still had left overs which we ate the next day. Side note: for parking don't bother trying to find street parking, just use the parking garage near by. It's an easy walk and cheap. Also either come early or make a reservation because there was a line of people waiting when we left and it filled up quickly after 5pm.

I love the inside decor, reminds me of a restaurant in Hell's Kitchen. There is a fantastic long bar to sit at, and the cocktail service is top notch. I always enjoy the Last Word here, while my husband enjoys the negroni sour. On our recent visit we enjoyed the Stretch Armstrong pizza. We were pleasantly surprised by the tomato sauce, and that stracciatella cheese was perfect gooeyness of flavor. We shared a beautiful lettuce salad, but it did not appeal to us; too much frisee. Entrees though were the stars, I had the mafalde with heritage pork and veal bolognese. The pasta was perfectly cooked al dente, and its cut easily held the bolognese sauce. There was a delightful spiciness to it also. Then my husband had the cacio e pepe bucotini. This rich sauce was made with plenty of butter, parmigiana reggiano and pecorino romano. Yum! With all that we had to end with dessert, and we enjoyed the zabaglione and cherry chocolate budino. The budino was the winner, with delicious cherries hidden inside the thick chocolate dessert. We've also enjoyed espresso martinis before, but did not order tonight. Melfi's is a gem of Italian elegance in flavor, service and ambience. We will continue to return and experience it again.

I was in the mood for a vodka martini-theirs is simply perfect! Started off with the prosciutto wrapped artichoke hearts. It is a great starter. For dinner, I went with my staple, the vodka sauce with penne. Typically I would do veal or even a meatball addition. This time I went with the hot sausage add on. It is now the new fav.
