I recently visited Capy's restaurant in Moncks Corner for the first time last night, and while the…read morefood was a standout, a few other aspects left me with mixed feelings. We started with the happy hour calamari for just $10, and it was outstanding--perfectly fried, tender, and flavorful. The Caesar salad was another highlight, with homemade croutons that were absolutely amazing and added such a fresh, crunchy element. For entrées, we went with linguine with clam sauce and chicken penne with vodka sauce. Both dishes delivered on flavor in a big way--the sauces were rich and well-balanced, the pasta cooked just right, and the portions were generously large, leaving us plenty to take home. The complimentary bread, however, was just so-so--nothing special compared to the rest of the meal. Service was good: our server was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without being overbearing. The biggest drawbacks were the ambience and pricing. The space is essentially one big, open room with high noise levels--definitely not ideal for a romantic Italian dinner. Given that this is a small town like Moncks Corner, the entrée prices (ranging from $22-$35, with most around $25) felt way too high for the location and lack of atmosphere. In summary, if you're prioritizing great food, hearty portions, and solid service, this place delivers and is worth trying--especially during happy hour deals. But if you're looking for ambiance or value that matches a small-town vibe, you might find it falls short.

Best pizza on the island, by far!!! I will add, they only have 16 inch for takeout (and that's…read morenew). You cannot order a 12 or 16 inch pizza for dining in. I hope they reconsider this policy. 10 inch is fine for a Neapolitan pie, but for true New Haven style of pizza, it's best enjoyed in big long thinner slices to really appreciate it. I was a fan of dine in 10 inch, but it wasn't enough to keep me coming back, we like to get a big pie and have leftovers. We will 100% be ordering 16 inch pizzas (to go) - but wish we could also enjoy a night out while doing so.

Service was almost overly attentive in that our conversations were repeatedly interrupted though I know well intentional given we were the only patrons. The food was very good though we have had better and worse. The chicken piccata was actually one of the best I have had. Dessert was the very creamy cheesecake and little cannolis. Very tasty. The biggest ding for me was the noise coming from the open kitchen. Again because there wasn't crowd noise to drawn it out, there was a steady banging and loud chopping that went off and on almost our entire two hours there. Sadly that would keep me from trying here again. I will most likely be in the take-out line next go round, which could explain a lot.

We have been to a few Italian restaurants in the region and certainly none as good as Mario's, without a doubt this is got to be the best kept secret of Charleston and the best Italian food in South Carolina We ordered the gnocchi à la Gorgonzola and a medium Hawaiian pizza, both very memorable. Yes it is 25 miles each way but well worth it much much better than some fancy looking places in Summerville but they just don't compare to flavors and presentation, let's not say anything about amount of ingredients in both, very generous, if I made that pizza for me o would have been as generous as they were Service was on point, attentive and friendly and the space is small and clean Thanks Dr for such a good recommendation, I knew I could trust your review, you are absolutely correct, it is a gem

This is a carryout out only business. They have a large and diverse menu with pizza, pastas, sandwiches, desserts and fries. I tried one of the $12 lunch specials. It was spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread and a drink. The portions were huge! Service was friendly and fast. The pasta and sauce were very good as was the toasted garlic bread. They have tiramisu! A man order some and took a little bite before leaving. He loved it! My only negative is that they don't offer dine in service. I recommend Rosamarino's. The food is very good and at a good/value price. I will be back to try more of their delicious menu.

We had an enchanting dinner at Lola Rose and already are planning our next visit. The staff was excellent, every person there was cheerful, knowledgeable and polite. Our waiter Colby was a gem and could not have been more attentive and adorable! The food was fantastic. The dishes have strong bold flavors, everything we had was well seasoned and clearly created with care and attention. The fluffy cheese is not to be missed, I'd order it by the gallon if I could. The patatas bravas are crispy with a smoky smooth tomato sauce that is killer. My group did a bunch of different apps and split everything, tapas style, which was a lot of fun. The pizza had a great crust and very tasty toppings. The portions are a really generous size for a restaurant of this caliber and the dishes are reasonably priced. The decor is elegant without feeling pretentious - perfect for a special fancy night out or a simple night out with friends. Even the bathroom is cute! In the summer I highly recommend getting one of the frosé drinks -it's so rare to get a frozen drink that actually has complex and balanced flavors and isn't just sweet frozen ice. I loved my pina mai tai, and my friend loved her basil pink lemonade. This restaurant is being added to our must stops when we visit this area, highly encourage everyone to check it out!

I also love the interior color used, as it is warm and relaxing. We like to sit at the booth bars, as they are just 2 tops, but give an added privacy by the design. Lola Rose features a comforting and approachable menu of big, seasonal salads, wood-fired pizzas, housemade pastas, local seafood and traditional mains. At the bar, classic favorites are served alongside creative spritzes and cocktails, local beer, and a wine list that focuses on Mediterranean and coastal American winemakers. Plus Lola Rose is the second concept from James Beard award-nominated chef Kevin Johnson and his wife Susan, who opened The Grocery in downtown Charleston in 2011. We have had the pleasure of seeing him in action and he is always approachable to the guests. We have visited Lola Rose several times and enjoyed many menu items. The rosemary focaccia is always a must order. Other great starters are the arancini, Sicilian meatballs, and our favorite is the roasted beets. Another great option to start is with a pizza, they have 9 different pizzas to choose from. Then an appropriate entree would be a pasta dish, we like the rigatoni verde and the bucatini. Note their pastas are all made in house. On our most recent visit we ordered the seasonal Softshell Crab special, and it was impressive and more delicious then expected. We appreciate that they had this item during the softie season, and this tops our list. Don't forget dessert as the budino and limencello cake are delicious sweet endings. Lola Rose makes going to downtown Charleston un-necessary, and it's location is easy to get to with plenty of parking. The service and the menu make it worth the visit, and we would recommend to all.

Hollywood finally has a more upscale spot !! an elevated, authentic Italian restaurant that feels…read moreright at home here! The foodies may remember Pan E Vino from its downtown Charleston days, but owner Alfredo has brought his culinary magic to Hollywood, blessing locals with genuine Italian charm and flavor. The restaurant is housed in a beautifully repurposed old firehouse and if you look up you'll still spot the original firehouse doors on the ceiling. The space is warm and rustic with an open kitchen, dim lighting, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. It's perfect for a romantic date night, a family dinner, or even a girls' night out. I made a reservation for our group of four as I always like to let a restaurant know I'm coming ! As of November 2025, reservations can be made easily through the restaurant's website or by phone (they're not on Resy or OpenTable ). I received confirmation by both text and email almost instantly, which made the process seamless. The staff here work incredibly hard. Our server was also handling hostess duties, but she was gracious, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. For my meal, I went classic with the Spaghetti alla Bolognese which was rich, hearty, and full of flavor. I didn't leave a bite behind! I couldn't resist drizzling a little balsamic over it (because balsamic makes everything better), and it paired perfectly. I also sampled the Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, featuring soft, homemade potato dumplings baked with the same luscious Bolognese sauce and melted buffalo mozzarella. If you're torn between the spaghetti or gnocchi, you can't go wrong either way because the bolognese sauce is delicious so it just depends on your mood! To finish the night, Alfredo himself came by with a pour of his homemade limoncello , bright, smooth, and the perfect sweet ending. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Pro Tip: Tuesdays are pizza nights only (no full menu), and on weekends they offer both pizza and their full selection. It's worth calling ahead if you have your heart set on a particular dish. Pan E Vino is a little slice of Italy in the country and I am here for it ! Go check them out !
