Started with the Fried trio and the mozzarella was the best part. Excellent marinara. The veal Amici was tender and flavorful with the pappardelle perfectly cooked.

It was his first night working at Amici's but clearly not his first night making guest experiences special. The perfect blend of attentiveness and charm. As a fellow patron of the restaurant, each of his recommendations were on point.

After my 5 star review a year ago, our second visit deserves an update. First off we were back for…read moreanother friends birthday with a 4 PM dinner reservation. They sat our party of 10 in the furthest single room. It was like we were in trouble and sent to exile island! All other customers were two sections away from us! Service was great and is not an issue. My stars dropped because of the down grade in menu options and overall food quality. They were also out of seafood (not shrimp) broccoli and asparagus. There was no specials menu this time excepts for one side of Brussels. The food I had was just ok. The croutons on the Caesar were solid rocks. No one should be using boxed croutons anymore. They should cut up and toast the bread they make and serve when you're seated as their croutons. Those would be amazing! My arancini's were fine. The sauce with them is still good. That's why I'm updating to A-OK from 5-stars.

I remember reading reviews that…read morePeople said it was the best Italian in the low country so being from the northeast I figured we needed to try it. It was absolutely awful. Dark like they're trying to hide something, Food was average at best, nothing seemed homemade, and it was just terrible. From the outside, it is always looked like the kind of place that Gordon Ramsay would go to to try and save yet couldn't and not surprised that they closed permanently. We sure could use a good restaurant in this part of the state and it would need a complete rehab.

They were folding silverware and napkins at the bar. (A restaurant with prices like mondo's should be doing this out of customer view). We sat at the bar and had drinks and food, and we didn't feel welcome at all. The burrata flatbread was delicious. Others came after us, so we know weren't the last to arrive. We were shocked at the service given that we have been to mondo's many times before. We like the food at Mondo's, but no food is worth being treated poorly.

The blond bartender always seems to provide service without a smile or nicety, which after multiple visits, you realize she is an unwelcoming person.

Our server was very nice about it, but there was never an explanation or gesture for the wait. I know this is a family owned business and that not all days are perfect.

Enough for 3 people to have a sizable piece. If you're looking for an indulgent, knock your socks off pasta, GET THE TRUFFLE SPAGHETTI! It is completely worth the price and enough for 2 people to split to feel better about the spend. The lumache Nero had a solid kick to it and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. For dessert, we chose the olive oil cake and tiramisu. I'd definitely order the cake again especially to taste that lemon curd again! The interior is dimly lit, great for a date night or special occasion. There's an open kitchen so you can watch the food being cooked along with a large bar. Service was fantastic and welcoming from start to finish.

My husband found this spot last minute since it was just a short walk from our hotel. We arrived pretty close to the kitchen closing, and while they mentioned we could still order at the bar, our server, Miseal, graciously offered to seat us at a table and take care of us anyway. That level of hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. We kept it simple and shared the Octopus Salad and the Taleggio Pizza, and wow...every single bite was packed with flavor. The pizza, cooked in the wood-fired brick oven, had the perfect crispy yet chewy crust with rich, melty cheese. The octopus was tender, fresh, and beautifully balanced. It was honestly the best meal we had all weekend. I paired everything with a refreshing brut rose while my husband enjoyed a beer, and it couldn't have been a better way to end our Charleston trip. The atmosphere is stylish and lounge-like with a romantic feel...perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening after exploring the city. A huge thank you to Miseal for making us feel so welcome, even at the end of the night. Great food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable experience. This will absolutely be one of our first stops the next time we're in Charleston.

We had the 2 portion of Fettuccine alla bolognese, tagliatelle duck confit, Fabio's rigatoni, and their tiramisu and canoli. They all so amazing and even my kids love their meal! It also came with breads and they were perfect for our Italian food. I didn't know that they have special and I wish I asked because my husband called and said their special that written on their board sounds delish too!
