Disappointed. I was excited to try Legami. I had a reservation for 4 and at the last minute had to change it to 2. I'm so glad that happened because I would've been embarrassed to bring guests. We were seated in a completely empty room that it seemed that most managers and servers used to hang out before getting busy. The bread was the highlight of the meal. Everything else just lacked something, mainly heat. All of our dishes were served tepid at best and quickly cooled to straight up cold. Our server didn't offer any suggestions and was reluctant to describe anything when asked. We were rushed to order which is odd because the place was empty. Because of the rush we were in and out in 80 minutes, not by choice. When the food was delivered to our table it was placed on the opposite side from where we were sitting. We had to move glassware and slide our food across the table. There were so many managers or supervisors walking around and no one said hello or asked about our experience. The restaurant is very pretty but the food and service are not up to expectations yet. read more

This place is AMAZING!!! Literally every single dish we had was incredible. The service is top tier (Amelia is world-class, she took amazing care of us), the food is LIFE CHANGING, the ambience is incredible, I mean, not a single miss. This has been where I have been taking all my friends and family that I want to impress. We met the owners and all the managers and they are all such kind, caring people. We love this place and can't wait to come back again!! We had the Lobster tartin and Octopus for appetizers, Filet and Lamb for entrees (the filet wellington is insanely good) and Raspberry Tiramisu for dessert (still thinking about it haha)! Highly recommend any of these but everything was phenomenal! read more

The place was nice. The waitress was excellent, but the food was not that good at all for the price and portions served. An overpriced place for low quality food! read more

The only reason there is a 1 star is because of the manager and yelp will not let me leave 0. Our group had 10 people and Rachel was our server. At the beginning of the dinner everything seemed fine. Only fine. We seemed flustered with the service and the way our orders were being taken was all over the place. It was not planned out well at all. As the dinner went on she became rude with us as we ordered our food/drinks. It continued to escalate into making small remarks regarding individuals at our table. She was identifying one friend as 'polka dots' and being snarky with us every time she spoke. She came back to take our dessert orders twice. An individual needed to leave early and asked for her dessert to go and check and the server rolled her eyes and acted like this was completely excessive to ask for. Since it was my birthday they put a candle on my dessert but she seemed utterly miserable as she brought it and as my friends sang to me. It was very disappointing. An individual at our table had ordered an inexpensive bottle for our table and the server 'mistakenly' ran us in for a $370 champagne bottle. When the bill came the manager charged us for the inexpensive bottle as this was the servers mistake. The server came back and whispered in my friend's ear "how does it feel to drink expensive for the price of nothing". We felt the manager was nice in regard to the bottle, we regret not informing him of the way the server had talked to us. Overall we felt the food was very mid and not great. Out of the 10 of us, I don't believe any of us will be back. read more

Naomi was absolutely amazing and made my birthday feel so special! She was so kind, attentive, and brought the best energy to our table. She truly went above and beyond. Thank you, Naomi, for making my birthday such a great experience! Also, the food was incredible. read more

Restaurant is soo cute - went here with girls but would be such a good date night spot. Probably one of the cutest restaurants in charleston - highly recommend the Burruta - honestly got it as my meal -10/10 read more

Excellent place. Lots of energy and good music. There are two bars (downstairs and upstairs). Great food and wine selections.

We enjoyed a great meal with friends outside. Decor is warm and cozy, service was friendly and timely and the food was yummy. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and time here. read more

We stopped by Legami and were absolutely blown away by the Legami martinis -- hands down the best dirty martinis we've ever had. The Calabrian chili-infused vodka added the perfect kick of spice, and the burrata-stuffed olives were next-level amazing. We also ordered the sidecar snack of marinated olives, and they were equally delicious. We went upstairs to the lounge, which turned out to be the perfect spot for a girls' night cocktail -- cozy, stylish, and relaxed. I'll 100% be coming back next time I'm in Charleston! read more

Legami - Italian Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

My wife and I went to Legami last night, and had an outstanding meal! Our server Naomi did a great job of describing the various dishes, guiding us through the menu for each course. We started with the Focaccia Rosemarino with Whipped Ricotta Nduja, then shared the Ravioli and Bottoni as our first course. Both were delicious. For an entree, we loved the Filet Mignon Alla Wellington, which was cooked to a perfect medium rare inside a puffed pastry. For Dessert, we had the Torta Legami and Roasted Pineapple, both of which were fantastic. The only miss was the Espresso Thy Self. The regular Espresso Martini would have been a better choice. A main component of a meal , is great service, and Naomi exceeded all expectations. It made for an enjoyable evening. We will definitely be back! read more

I can't recommend this place enough. The FOOD is insane. The vibes are unmatched. The most wonderful service and most polite staff I've ever met. Sara the bartender upstairs was absolutely incredible a literal angel. Please take the time out of your evening to enjoy this atmosphere and special place. The most beautiful place on king!!! read more

Definitely one of my new favorites in Charleston! I had added a note with my reservation asking for a customized card for my Mom who I was taking to dinner, and they did not disappoint!

Came on a Friday night for dinner and was not impressed. Everything we ordered was lacking flavor. The portions are veryyyy small especially for an italian restaurant. The beef tartare was good, the potatoes were bleh with whatever came with it had no flavor. The scallops were ok but only 3 came with it! For entree, we ordered the lobster risotto and agreed the dish had a very mild flavor. You do get a 5 oz lobster, but would not recommend. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was great but wouldn't come back as the portions are small and not flavorful especially for the $$$. read more

Legami - Lobster risotto - Italian Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Legami is great new restaurant. The cuisine is sophisticated Italian with local influences. They're 2 bars, each with their own vibe. Outdoor area looks great. We sat at the downstairs bar twice and Katrina was a great bartender and brand ambassador. Service was outstanding. All staff were very friendly. read more

I hate to say it, but my experience left the impression of a beautiful restaurant, flashy menu where everything looks great, expensive, but the food just doesn't measure up. Shrimp and caviar appetizer lacked seasoning (imo) and was lukewarm, Burrata appetizer was yummy. Also ordered the lobster risotto- huge serving of lobster, but it was overcooked and just not that tasty. How do you serve lobster that isn't delicious? It's....lobster....i would rather have a smaller portion cooked properly. The risotto itself was again lukewarm which made it unappetizing unfortunately. Ravioli entree was ok. I would come here again only for an appetizer and a cocktail to sit at the bar in a beautiful space. read more

I do not usually leave reviews but the experience, the food and the cocktails were amazing! Starting with the appetizer which was shrimp pounded and formed into noodles with a delicious creamy sauce topped with small caviar so very creative and so very good. We had a pasta dish next and was also very well prepared. And ended with the lamb rack perfectly cooked medium rare with a balsamic reduced sauce, a tapenade of olives, nuts and capers and deep fried baby artichokes. The best I have had! Service and the cocktails were also a nice touch as well. read more

Very disappointing meal on many different levels. Very over priced. Almost everything we ordered was bland. Burrata was solid, tasteless mozzarella. No stracciatella in middle and additions were tasteless as well. Focaccia also had no taste, no salt, no butter. Estiva salad was iceberg lettuce, not "mesclun greens." On waitress recommendation I ordered Octopus and Brasato. Again octopus and side sauces were completely tasteless. Brasato was ok. Wife had Pappardelle oxtail ragu. She liked it ok, but again I found it to be completely tasteless. Service was attentive in coming by the table, but forgetful. I was missing napkin and had to ask twice. Ditto glass of wine. Couple next to us had to eat an entire sharing salad without sharing plates!!!' This place is obviously aimed at tourists and the King Street crowd. Charleston is blessed with many great Italian restaurants now that are priced similarly or even cheaper with far far better food. Don't trust Post & Courier recommendations. read more

Amazing dinner here. They have chefs from Italy hand creating every bit of they food served from scratch and you can taste the freshness. My friend and I had confeit potatoes as a starter then the ravioli and cappelletti for a main course. We tried The King's Smoke cocktail as well as dessert martini, which were both phenomenal! Our server, Keaton, helped make the experience so enjoyable by being so prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. Will be back! read more

Food and service was excellent. Beautiful restaurant. Hostess was ehhh. I wouldn't call this an Italian restaurant. Names of dishes were in Italian but most dishes are not Italian. read more

They have a great spot on king and the ambiance was very cool. We didn't have high expectations as others said they have a lot to work on as they're still new, but we were hopefully. Our waiter was good. Felt the vibe of the table and made adjustments, but the food. The food needs a lot of. We had the crudo, the shrimp pasta, tartar, ragu, asparagus, and Wellington. Wellington was fine, but everything else, especially the asparagus which was so over cooked it was mushy, and the shrimp pasta which had an awkward texture and lacked any flavor, was not up to the standards of what you would expect down town and for those prices. It feels like they're trying to be too much. I do wish them the best. It's a cool spot, cool vibe, but if the food does not improve, I don't see them lasting with overhead costs. read more

The food was great and flavorful and Doug, our waiter, was fantastic in making wine recommendations and being attentive to us while having plenty of tables. The patio was gorgeous and walking through the rest of the restaurant was gorgeous. Highly recommend! read more

Legami - Italian Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Other than our waiter (who was fabulous), the cocktails and the decor I have to say I am severely disappointed in the food. I'm not a chef and I make better risotto + I do not think it wise to slice scallops in half... what are we paying for? Don't try and stretch out the scallops to save money and charge what you charge. The Tortellini in Crosta reminded me of Chef Boyardee ravioli. Finally, the whipped cheese in the focaccia reminded me of cheese whiz. I don't think I've ever had to write a review this bad. Please make adjustments or you won't survive in the Charleston market. We have too many good options! My final note on service is to slow down. No one wants to be rushed during a finer dining experience. I was exhausted in the first 30 minutes like my head was being whipped around. read more

Go to Indaco or Renzo instead. None of the dishes had any flavor and were incredibly dry. I'm absolutely dumbfounded by the other good reviews on Yelp. Each plate was more bland than before. Vibes are stiff, at best. Service was ok, but definitely fell short of traditional Charleston hospitality. read more

Service was great! Beef tartar and lobster tartin were amazing! Upstairs lounge is definitely a vibe, and the whole restaurant is beautifully done. read more

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at Legami tonight for dinner. Legami is Charleston's newest Northern Italian restaurant on King Street, right across from The Darling Oyster Bar. The location is excellent and within walking distance of most places in downtown Charleston. From the second we walked in, we felt so welcomed. It was like we were visiting old friends, even though it was our first time. We felt so fortunate to secure a dinner reservation using the Resy app. We had a dinner reservation for 5 pm and we were seated promptly in the upstairs dining room. This is a delightful and romantic area of the restaurant with big windows and a truly special, cozy vibe. I started my dinner with the Misticanza salad, which was hands down the best salad I've ever had. Seriously. The mix of mesclun greens, kale, pickled red onions, Parmigiano Reggiano, and focaccia crumble, all tied together with a tangy-sweet balsamic grape reduction, was absolute perfection. The Parmigiano was out of this world. Next came the braised octopus, and it was so tender and paired beautifully with fresh peas, capers, parsley potato espuma, and a roasted tomato honey chutney. Each bite was exceptional. The parsely potato espuma was unforgettable. My husband couldn't stop raving about his scallops appetizer. They were served with a roasted corn sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, almond pesto, and a rich truffle butter. He enjoyed every bite and said it was bursting with flavor. For his main course, he went with the Pappardelle al Ragù--long ribbons of pasta with a braised oxtail ragù that was so hearty and flavorful, finished with pecorino Romano and pomodoro. It was the kind of dish you just want to savor forever. I was lucky enough to try a few bites. And oh, the focaccia rosmarino! Doug, our amazing server, brought it out fresh, and the smell of rosemary and olive oil practically filled the room. It was the perfect addition to everything else. He told us it is made fresh every day. We wrapped up our meal with the roasted pineapple dessert, and it was the perfect ending. The anise ice cream and candied pistachios were such unique touches. Our waiter Doug was incredible. He knew the menu inside and out, made fantastic suggestions, and just had such a kind, easygoing vibe. Great service always makes a meal better, and Doug absolutely nailed it. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and is very spacious with an upstairs dining area and bar, downstairs dining area and a large outdoor patio. Legami is a dining experience not to be missed when visiting Charleston. From the creative, mouthwatering dishes to the cozy, welcoming atmosphere, it's a place we can't wait to visit again. In fact, we loved it so much that we've already made a reservation for New Year's Eve dinner! If you're looking for something truly special in every way, I highly recommend Legami. And don't skip that roasted pineapple dessert--it's unforgettable. Other desserts available on the menu included raspberry tiramisu, torta legami and homemade gelato. I wish this restaurant great success and I look forward to visiting for years to come. read more

Not a very good dining experience. The food is so very pricey. I ordered the chicken/lemon fizz dinner. It was tasteless. Just a pounded down breast grilled and shaped like a tent over the lemon foam. The dinner should have been set on some pasta. No one ever came to ask if we wanted some cheese sprinkled on top, as do other Italian restaurants. This dinner was $37.!!! And there was no bread served at the table either. Stay away. There are much better Italian restaurants in Charleston. read more

Amazing food. Management quickly understood our group and provided amazing recommendations on drink, apps, and dinner/tappas. Wish we lived in the area!! read more

Sat out on the patio at a small table for two. There was one waiter for numerous tables and so service was subpar. Took too long to get drinks and there was very slow follow up when food was served. I had the grouper which was chewy. My wife had the gnocchi and it was very good but could have used pepper which was not offered. Sauces on the dishes were fantastic and the ambiance was quite nice. Could have been a great experience but fell far short unfortunately. read more

The food, service, atmosphere, you name it...it's 10/10! The menu is just as colorful as the decor, inviting you to try their unique combination of flavors! The lobster tartin was out of this world! Can't wait to bring family and friends here! If you want an incredible dining experience, ask for Bella! read more

We had a beautiful experience all around! The decor is stunning and the overall ambiance is cozy. All of us loved our server!! Our server, Zach, was so kind and helpful navigating the menu as I have a gluten intolerance! I got the pappardelle al rage with gluten free noodles and loved it. Everyone else in my party loved their food too--king crab tagliolini, focaccia, confit potatoes, and the george bank scallops were all enjoyed. read more

$27 for the smallest portion size. Waiter was extremely rude and rushing us out. Didn't ask if i wanted a second drink or anything.

The ambiance was the only positive about the experience. The waitress was not helpful and seemed inconvenienced to serve us. The food was below mid for the pricing. read more

Had the best experience with Julia and my business has taken off immensely since working with you

Tried legami within their first month of opening, would recommend the shrimp pasta, martini and dessert was amazing. The flavor combinations in our entrees were interesting, we like trying new things and everything was cooked perfectly but in terms of flavor profile it didn't hit the mark just yet. I am sure they will get there soon! Definitely want to come back here and sit outside for a brunch with friends. read more

Extremely upset with the service at this place. I was so looking forward to it as a local. They are very snooty - tons of empty tables but said we had to go to the bar since we didn't have a rez. Fine. The bartender ignored us for 10 minutes while he chatted with a coworker and the people next to us. We didn't get menus or waters from him -- had to borrow a menu from the people next to us who were kind to offer it. One of us had an expired ID by 1 day and he refused to look at another form of ID -- and we're all over 30. We chose to go somewhere else because the way we were treated and ended up having a beautiful experience at Stars across the street. Such a shame because it's a beautiful space. read more
