Stopped into The Pass and went with two sandwiches: the "Such a Nice Italian Boy" and the Tacony 6931 (newer to the menu). The Italian Boy was stacked just right--salty meats, creamy cheese, and that punchy relish that gives it some heat without overwhelming. Definitely lives up to the name. The Tacony 6931 was the surprise standout for me: rich, layered flavors, and the kind of sandwich that feels indulgent but still balanced. Both came on great bread that held up perfectly to all the fillings. Order at the counter and add on various antipastos to enjoy too. The vibe of the place matches the food: casual but with serious attention to detail. The Pass is well worth a visit.
A must try because it is so so good. We got the good Italian boy and good Italian girl and they were big, flavorful, and worth every penny . Amazing Italian sandwiches.
The Pass 207 St Phillip St The pass is not your average neighborhood sandwich shop. This place is rolling out fresh ingredients and I'm here to tell you it's LEGIT! I got the "Such a Nice Italian Boy" The burrata on a sandwich is pure genius. Every bite is a glimpse of Chef Anthony Marini's fine dining roots. I can't wait to try more. Also the @drinkfizza Blood Orange kombucha was amazing. Great vibe inside. Highly Recommend you stop in for a to go sandwich or enjoy the comfortable sitting area.
The best sandwiches of my life. I wish I could try them all!! The roast beef on the bear was so tender and flavorful. I will be dreaming of this place
This sandwich was so delicious, I can't wait to visit again. I will be thinking about it until I can have another.
Where to start for this small but intimate Italian sandwich shop in downtown Charleston. You walk in and suddenly feel at home, like you've been there too many times to count but you won't stop coming back. You're handed a menu to look at as if deciding which sandwich to conquer is a quick decision. As a first time guest, but long time lurker on their Instagram feed, I asked the recommendation on which two sandwiches to get from the lady at the register. She steered me in the right direction as the Yes, We Finally Watched "The Bear" was an incredible sandwich. Lightly toasted but perfectly crunchy sesame seed roll in a way that isn't going to cut your mouth when you eat it. Crunching into your first bite, you'll notice the roast beef, and house roasted balsamic onions almost spilling out of the sandwich. As with most and sandwich, the fresh mozzarella is the perfect addition to an already flavorful sandwich. Also included is the house-made pepper shooter aioli, and EVOO. We opted for takeout but ended up sitting in the small dining room area as we scoured the walls looking at all of the art, local signage and other aesthetically pleasing wall art. As we were enjoying our meal, the owner/head chef came over himself and checked in to see how we were doing. I understand the price might deter some customers (~$17 for a sandwich) but the sandwiches are pretty huge, the ingredients are fresh and the flavor is immaculate. Already planning on coming back & one of the best sandwiches in the area hands down. Photos below don't do it justice as I barely got these two before digging in.
The Pass located on Phillips St in Charleston SC is a cute take out restaurant.Their Turkey sandwich was delicious and has a very generous of meat. served on a Ciabatta bread. The sandwich along will leave you full and Satisfied. They do offer delivery service . They offer everything from sandwich to Cheese, wine and Charcuterie Boards. Quaint place to have a glass of wine and meet up with some friends.
I arrived at the Pass a little after 2 pm on a Friday and they were sold out of all greens so no salad or greens on the sandwich so I ordered the The Panino di Basilico. The sandwich was fresh and flavorful and I see why they are busy. By the time I arrived the place was pretty empty and they closed shortly after due to selling out of items. So I definitely recommend this place for the fresh and tasty sandwich and recommend going earlier in the day to avoid disappointment.

My husband picked The Pass for one of our lunch stops during our foodie trip to Charleston, and I'm so glad he did. It's tucked into a cute neighborhood and was super close to our Airbnb, making it an easy stop while exploring the city. We ordered the Italian Girl and split it since we had a full day of eating planned ahead of us. Honestly, I think it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, the ingredients were high quality, and it was beautifully put together. The burrata really made the sandwich feel special and took it to another level. Every bite was packed with flavor without feeling heavy. It's one of those meals that sticks with you long after your trip is over. I'm still dreaming about this sandwich and will absolutely be back the next time I'm in Charleston. read more

We had sandwiches on Door Dash and they were excellent. The bread was perfectly crusty and fresh. All the meats were fresh and delicious. We even saved half for the next day and both were really great. My daughter said it was the best sandwich she's ever had. If I could have eaten one while driving we would have brought one with us on the way out of town. We would definitely visit again. read more
Had to check this place out. Read about them in the local City Paper. The sandwich options are plentiful, atmosphere cozy and the staff are very friendly. The sandwiches though . You won't disappointed. Glad we'll have "The Pass" in Mt. Pleasant soon. Three thumbs up and 5 Stars from the Mrs. and me :) read more

Finally made it here after strolling to downtown farmer's market. We snagged a spot on the street nearby - no dedicated parking lot but street parking is usually easy in the area. The inside space is very tasteful and gives Italian vibes. It's an order at the counter spot with fairly limited seating but seemed like folks moved through fairly quickly. They do have one big community table and some bar seats. We snagged the Focaccia del capo sandwich and the Everyday BS. The focaccia was the best of the two. The everyday was solid but slightly eggy for our lunch (would get it for breakfast for sure). They have a small collection of canned and bottled soda/kombucha as well as alcoholic choices. The Carolina kettle chips are some of our favorite and we always love to see a shop that has them. The staff were friendly and helpful answering questions. We'll be back! read more

So freaking good omg. So glad I started working within walking distance! I've had a couple of their sandwiches but the Italian boy is by far my favorite. It's so delicious and filling that it usually lasts me two meals. Unfortunately there was a car accident a few weeks ago but they're still open and making the most out of a terrible situation. I would highly recommend coming here read more

The Pass is an upscale, NY "feely" deli shop. We live two blocks away and are always eager to try our newest local neighborhood QSR. Immediately when you walk in, The Pass lets you know that they take sandwiches seriously. And yes, we ALSO take sandwiches seriously. Further, we always a appreciate some pop culture menu references (similar to Moe's) that'll grab your attention and amuse. Yes, The Pass' price point is high; you're paying for quality. Sandwiches often reflect their price point, $10, $20, etc. The Pass does a great job (better than others downtown) of delivering "what you get" at their price point. We both had the Americano and enjoyed the hell out of this tasty sandwich. LOTS of flavors happening here. While we were warned against extra mustard, we felt the mustard well complimented the peppers and pickles. Texture and finish are 100, exactly what you'd expect from this caliber of sandwich shop. We'd love to see The Pass offer at least one other bread selection, tuna, (which they undoubtedly would crush), and a hot/pressed sandwich option/selection. We look forward to our next Sunday stroll, late lunch, and serious sandwich. read more

Yes. It's a small space, but they turn orders around quickly. Service was very friendly and they even checked on us in the middle of our meal despite the casual atmosphere! We ordered the LBC (basically a lox bagel sandwich) and Vito Lost His V-Card (marinated artichokes, giardiniera, and white bean spread). Both were delicious. The vibe is very casual - we sat at a communal table which felt a tad cramped, but the space isn't too loud or crowded. We'll definitely be back and greatly appreciate the couple of vegetarian options! read more

This place is DELICIOUS. I need to come back to try each panini. The ingredients are all fresh and everyone was so friendly, including the owner! I especially liked the option of having Yuengling, which I would have ordered if I wasn't on my lunch break! read more

Got the Italian boy and the special sandwich of the day Both VERY good Definitely will be going back soon.... Service/ quality amazing! Sandwich's shareable and Very filling. Next time I'll definitely try something different. read more
First time at The Pass this week. Staff was super friendly on arrival and helpful in making my sandwich choice. Cool setup (under renovation so everything other than counter was blocked off). Bread was very fresh and the sandwich had really interesting flavors. My one area for improvement was that the roast chicken was a little dried out when it came out of the oven after warming. I'd make the chunks of chicken a little smaller and have them in a little olive oil (or the aioli that was used as a delicious spread). Definitely looking forward to coming back post-renovating. read more
Such a nice Italian boy... the sandwich my dreams are made of. Thank you for a nice start to our trip to Charleston. Loaded with freshly sliced Italian meats like sopressata and mortadella (laced with pistachios), Burrata, Calabrian chili relish, arugula and soft homemade bread makes this sandwich top notch. Absolutely one of the best Italians I've ever had. Already planning our next trip back! read more

Really good sandwhiches - their bread is always fresh and homemade! Service is efficient and the ambiance is a small cute sandwhich coffee shop vibe. I'll definitely be back. read more
Called in a to go order and they said it would be ready in 10 minutes. Was in and out quickly. While the ingredients of my sandwich were fresh, I did find it dry. Would be open to trying something else there in the future! read more

I visited The Pass for lunch during a weekday. The space is small and cozy but was enough space to sit and hang out if needed. I ordered the "such a nice italian boy" which packs a lot of meats (mortadella and spresatta) and a big chunk of Burrata. It was a good lunch item and I enjoyed it, I kind of wished I could have saved half or shared with someone because it was a large portion for sure. It is a ver nice Italian sandwich shop and I am glad It opened in the neighborhood. read more
Looking for a hidden gem in Charleston? Want a selfie with the chef? Sandwich suggestion? Wine pairing for your meal? -- You'll get all that and more at this cute little restaurant that'll make you feel like part of the family! This quaint little shop sits on the corner of St. Phillip and Spring in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood. I would definitely consider this a "mom and pop" shop, but on an advanced/elevated level -- the quality, service and presentation just sets the bar above the rest! Ok folks... what you've been waiting for: THE FOOD REVIEW! And boy, am I happy to give it to you! - CACIO e PEPE: This warm sandwich is made with Daily Cheeses, Farm Butter, Fresh Cracked Black Pepper toasted on Sourdough and Drizzled Truffle Honey with an option to add a meat of your liking. I decided to prosciutto to mine and it was worth the add! This sandwich was toasted to perfection and more delectable than I was expecting, as that truffle honey really pushes the flavor over the edge! -HOMEMADE DILL PICKLES: I'm a sucker for pickles, especially homemade ones! The are cut in "chip" form, sliced on the thicker side and the perfect in between of crunchy and soft... that in combination with the flavor, makes it that pickle that you want for a side, as you don't want to lose the flavor in a sandwich, but also wouldn't be upset if it ended up on a sandwich! -WINE: They have a great selection of natural wines here. So don't expect your "go tos" that you're used to at the grocery store or chain restaurants. These wines are hand selected with care and they will make sure you're selecting the right one for your tastebuds at the time, or better yet the perfect pairing for your meal! I went with a Rose... unfortunately I don't have a picture of it, but it paired well and was exactly what I was wanting! I decided to dine in when I came and I'm glad I did! There was a lot of "in and out" business, but the staff working (including Anthony) came to check on me, make sure I was enjoying my meal and see if there was anything else I needed. That personal touch is what is missing with most restaurants these days and I'm so glad to see another one landed in a Charleston! Although their main hours are Wednesday-Sunday from 10am to 4pm, they are open some evenings for an upscale experience known as the "Chef's Table." From what Anthony explained, it's the intimate multi-course dinner party you've always wanted to host, but you don't have to lift a finger and get to 100% enjoy -- no risk and ALL REWARD! This experience is only enjoyed by reservation and books up FAST! Like the second new reservations open, they're off the market! I'm hopeful I'll get to join in on this part of the restaurant sooner than later! Dining in or taking out, they value all their customers, cook to perfection and make sure you walk away with a smile and full belly that'll be sure to bring you back! read more

Best sandwiches! STUFFED with meat they are very filling. A little bit over priced for a sandwich but the taste made up for it. read more
What a unique place! I saw an instagram post of the sandwich called "such a nice Italian boy" and knew I had to try the sandwich for myself. I love that they offer such high quality ingredients and sandwich ideas. The sandwich was fantastic: really flavorful and it included such a large variety of ingredients. I will say it was pretty spicy, so if that's not your thing I would order something else off the menu. Street parking was easy to find, but be warned, there is only one table for inside dining. I would recommend taking your sandwich to the park for a picnic! I love the concept and the execution of this restaurant and am excited to return and try other menu items! read more
