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

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

First time trying out this sandwich shop. Online order was fast and easy. Our sandwiches were: Italian boy, Americano, and the Bear. The hype is true! All three sandwiches were packed with meat and delicious. The Bear was so perfect in my opinion. The toasted sesame bread provided such a unique taste. Can't wait to try the other sandwiches. read more

We stopped by this morning for a quick sandwich before the lunch rush. We didn't have to wait and we even grabbed a seat. The cashier told us we had to get the Italian boy, so we did. The sandwich came up quick and looked phenomenal. We chowed down and absolutely loved it. The bread was nice and soft rather than overly crusty. The meats and cheese were generous and perfectly proportioned. It was a well executed sandwich. Zero complaints. Awesome spot with fast and friendly service. Highly recommended. read more

Do not sleep on this place. Absolutely charming and delicious. "The Boy" had so much flavor and is as big as your face. You will not be disappointed! Don't sleep on the cacio e pepe reads like an Italian grilled cheese but the truffle honey drizzled on top is EVERYTHING! We enjoyed our lunch with a bottle of Lilu savigne blanc from a local winery. RUN DO NOT WALK!! Literally considering popping back down here from ohio in a couple weeks when the open up for a 5 course tasting menu for dinner service. read more

You will NOT be disappointed! Walk, don't run! Cute, small market/cafe in town. Ordered many of the Such A Nice Italian Boy - Mortadella (with Pistachio), Hot & Sweet Soppresata, Burrata, Greens, Tomatoes, Red Onion, Housemade Italian Vinaigrette, Sharp Provolone, Pickled Calabrian Chili Relish on Ciabatta. Also tried the chicken salad which was extremely refreshing but also very flavorful. You can request any sandwich be a salad, as well, which is great. Although the menu is small, everything is crafted so well. The plus, the staff may just be even more incredible than the food. Also, they deliver through a few various apps which is great when on a time crunch or unable to go in person. read more

The Pass - Such A Nice Italian Boy - Salad Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Today was my first time at The Pass! What a great lunch! I had the chicken salad Panino and the pesto pasta salad. Both were phenomenal! Most of their sandwiches were so big and looked so good! The Panino was the perfect size! Service was great and I love that there were wine options if I wasn't in the middle of my work day! Such a fun place! read more

Great food! Italian girl sandwich was so good. My wife said the Foccacia del Capo was delicious. Bread was outstanding. Service was average. read more

This is it! If you want a sandwich come to The Pass hand made sandwiches right on the spot this is a monster sandwich I have to go back and try every sandwich they offer. There was a huge line when I got there but somehow it went down quickly because of the fast service I have to give it to the chef he has created something that's contagious Such a nice Italian boy that sandwich is amazing as you can see in the picture. read more

The place looked like a cool sandwich shop so I had to try. Unfortunately, the sandwich I had was dry but had good flavor. They have all sorts of options and other sandwiches looked better. You can tell they have passion for what they do. Next time I am going to get the italian boy. Looked good. 4 stars read more

We shared one of their best selling sandwiches - it might have been called an italian boy, but I'm unsure. It was pretty amazing to eat a sandwich with a burrata cheese inside! No problems there! The bread was a little dry for me. this is a two person sandwich, but still expensive at that. It cost almost $20 dollars. read more

A truly excellent sandwich shop in a very cool area! I had the pleasure of having the Italian boy (first time I've said that sentence, but not the last!). For me, the quality of ingredients is what warrants a 5 star review here. You're getting a killer sandwich, whatever you order. I am a fan of the aesthetic too and I love to check out the sauces and other culinary options they have for sale. It's the only place I can find Zab's hot sauce in town so that makes me happy. It can get busy on weekends and busy times, so plan ahead, it's not a large space either. My ideal Pass Experience is to grab a sandwich to go on a nice, slow (read: not many tourists) day and eat in White Point Garden and enjoy the history, beauty, and culinary delight of Charleston. read more

The Pass - A nice Italian boy in a nice park - Salad Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

The sandwich (Italian Boy) could be split into 2 meals. The sandwich was very tasty , a heaping portion, but also pricey (see receipt) Corner location so parking might be tricky. The staff was very helpful & patient with it being my first time visiting. Will definitely return with others During week they close at 4pm, weekend has different times .... Call to verify. read more

The Pass is my favorite local sandwich spot. Their ingredients are fresh and the sandwiches are made with love. They do a great Charcuterie takeout if you need a last minute charcuterie option like I did one day. They have almost daily specials that are fantastic. The one year anniversary special with the prosciutto and truffle was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. They have a loyalty rewards program which is awesome. I got the All Day BS - 2 Egg (Parmesan Frittata), Prosciutto di Parma, Mozzarella, Roasted Tomatoes, Spicy Smoked Taleggio Mayo on Toasted Ciabatta and subbed out the tomato for lettuce. There's a small chefs counter for seating or some tables and chairs. They also sell cold drinks, fun snacks, and wine. It's a CHS staple and it's only been there a year. Online ordering is available as well as calling ahead for takeout. read more

If you want a GOOD sandwich- this is the place to be. From bread, to meat, to cheese, to veggies, to the spread, all the flavors were incredible. I ordered the "Such a Nice Italian Boy" and NICE IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. This bad boy was huge and so tasty. The bread was so perfect in taste and texture. The mozzarella was so good and complimented the meats so well. The veggies inside were dressed in something tasty and the spread on the bottom piece of bread was so flavorful. I fell in love at first bite. The staff was nice and I didn't have to wait too long for my order. Their dining room is closed and the shop itself is very small. You can get wine, seltzers, coffee, and beer here too. Overall, excellent sandwich if I ever had one. I will be back to try the Cacio e pepe with proscutio for sure! read more

This review is for "The Italian Boy After Dark" at The Pass. The experience was lackluster, unimpressive and overpriced ($250.00+ per couple.) Food was okay (bland), but not outstanding, and for the price, food was very simple. Paid $6.00 for one glass of sparkling water with no refills. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet our expectations. read more

The sandwhich was the best. The bread, meat, and the toppings were onpoint. It was 20 to 10 if you are in charleston. Go try it.

had trouble finding a good artisan deli once we moved to Charleston. Charleston obviously has great sandwich shops, but none of them have the authentic and Italian-inspired flavors that you would find in NYC. Thankfully, Anthony opened up The Pass and it has been our favorite spot ever since. Every Sunday, my wife and I order the Cacio e Pepe (add prosciutto!) and the Such a Nice Italian Boy and love every single bite. Anthony has an eye for detail and makes sure every single sandwich is made perfectly. Each sandwich comes with a unique variety of flavors and is consistently delicious every time you order. Also, did I mention that The Pass has a wide selection of wines? Some of our favorite organic wines are sold here and we love pairing it with our sandwiches. All in all, we are so grateful that Anthony started The Pass and that we are still able to enjoy the artisan deli experience that we initially discovered in NYC. read more

The Italian boy sandwich was one of the best Italian Sandwiches I've ever had. Local chips were good as well

Wow these sandwiches will surpass your expectations, no doubt. I had high expectations, bit into the sandwich, and looked at my friend with huge eyes shocked at how great even the first bite was. We had the Italian Girl and The Bear. Trust me, you need these sandwiches. read more

Was really bummed to not like this place. I got the Cacio e Pepe sandwich and regretted it as soon as I opened the box. Pure grease and burnt flat bread, looked and tasted like a bad grilled cheese. The signature sandwich "Italian Boy" was okay but nothing to rave about. The worst of all was the aftermath. My friend and I were both sick to our stomachs immediately after our meal and for the rest of the day. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Nice sammich shop for lunches that's actually a lot more. I've been trying to sit at the chefs table but so has everyone else in town. I'm totally not saying this so someone who has reservations feels bad and gives me their seat, which I totally am more deserving at having. Nope. You can't go wrong with anything here. Sandwiches may take a second to make but you have to remember that there's only two people working the counter and making the sandwiches, so do them a favor and order ahead of time. They can get pretty busy but this worth the wait. read more

It's all just so good! I haven't had a good sandwich or hoagie since I left South Jersey. This place -oh my God- incredible. read more

The best Italian sandwich in Charleston! Hopefully they get a dining room! Fast friendly service.

Paninis with very fresh bread and other ingredients. I tried the vegan one which had eggplant and roasted red peppers and more with some type of spread on it. It was quite delicious. This is a very small restaurant, so if you aren't planning on to-go, seating is limited. read more

Had the turkey on ciabatta bread. Good quality meat and ingredients. The owner Anthony couldn't be nicer.

The Pass is the perfect spot to pickup a sandwich for lunch. I work nearby in an office downtown and decided to order a few sandwiches to try. All of the sandwiches were quite messy, so don't forget to grab some napkins! Our favorite was the JLT with the Farm Egg on top. We also tried the V-Card (a vegan sandwich option) and the Nice Italian Boy. We weren't huge fans of the Ciabatta bread they were both on- but the ingredients inside the sandwiches were great. Can't wait to try out their dinner soon! read more

I wish I had pictures to show you how amazing the sandwiches aka paninos are. The owner was really nice and created some fun sandwiches for us to sample. Such a Nice Italian Boy was my favorite. I remember the owner also saying they were going to start breakfast service so I definitely recommend checking that out. read more

Food was good, and the staff was friendly, but the sandwich workers did not have gloves on. The older guy who I assume was the owner also started making sandwiches without gloves. Then an employee scratched her back.. and kept cooking. Gross! Also the bagels are coming from a Kirkland (Costco) bag. For an upscale sandwich place where I paid about $42 for two sandwiches and two coffees... I expected more than that. You could at least try to hide it to make customers think they're getting something fresher and local. read more

Staff does not wear gloves. I had heard about this and it was validated by the owner and on their IG. You can't walk out without spending $20 on meat and cheese between bread. read more

Been wanting to try this sandwich shop for awhile and finally made it there yesterday. Very disappointed. Got the Italian Boy. The bread was not fresh, two small slices of meat and a dollop of cheese. Not much taste, needed something to give it a little oomph. For $17 I didn't expect to leave hungry and I'm not a big eater. read more

Best sandwiches ever!!! I went twice in one week. The Italian girl with turkey was amazing. It's a walk up and order small sandwich shop off the beaten trail. Service was great. read more

I learned today that a sandwich has the power to bring me to tears. Not just any sandwich, though. The Everyday BS was the absolute best breakfast sammie I've ever experienced, and an experience it was. It was so fantastic I couldn't get a photo before it was gone. We were also blown away by Such a Nice Italian Boy, the chicken salad sandwich, artichoke salad, and olive provisions. Tony's culinary passion and skill are clearly displayed by the ability to use the simplest ingredients to create an unforgettable meal. I cannot wait to come back. If you've gotten this far and still haven't mapped your fastest route to The Pass, what are you doing?? read more
